Jazzy Jeff & Fresh Prince Greatest Hits

So I'm a bit confused, one of the reviewers has said that this CD has good tunes but it sounds so old, isn't that the point of a greatest hits comp? This is a retrospective of a body of work, some old and some not so. My first encounter with Will & Jeff was back in 86 when "Girls ain't nothin but trouble hit the UK". The version the UK heard was slightly remixed from the US version, consequently we have two different sounding tracks, I think the version on this CD is somewhere between the two. To say that some of these tracks sound old is a little mis-guided. All the tracks on here are classics in their own right. To my mind I think Will Smith peeked around the time that "Big Willie style" was released & "Code Red" was also a great moment for commercial hip hop and thankfully most of the highlights from those two albums are on this comp. Over the years Will & Jeff have been critisized for being "soft" and I think this is really unfair. Just because they found thier place in the Hip Hop/Rap/Scratch genre and played it to their benefit dosen't detract from their obvious talent. Will has been accused of selling out for going in to the movies, lets hope Pharrell doesn't get batterred for his part in Despicable Me.I like and have always liked The Fresh Prince and DJ Jazzy Jeff, they are to me the talented, educated side of Rap, not to mention the lack of explicit lyrics which seem to plague Hip hop nowadays. This is a decent compilation from the nice guys of Hip hop and it will make you tap your feet.....

Love it

Classic Hiphop that can't be beaten. When you listen to this, it's like stepping into a time machine and going back to the 80s/90s . If you love good music purchase this.

Will smith is just a good story teller, and with Jazzy jeff it is all good:) Good album:) i wish he made more albums!

As expected.

Jam packed with all the hits from the 1990s, really enjoyed it!

classic Jazz and Prince will!

Perfect working order and quick post. Thank you
