I'm not the type to jump at everything Kanye says. "Fresh as the prince, while you Jazzy Jeff". :hmm: Sounds like a diss to me.

Kinda like Bow Wow dissing Will huh? Will Smith is a big name. Jeff Townes is a behind the scenes kind of guy, laid back and everything right?, but he still does his thing. No media or anything is gonna make it a big deal, unless Kanye were to go straight at Jeff criticizing his production and his status in Hip Hop. And as far as I'm concerned, the line is doing just that; getting at Jeff's status. "Number 1", Will is #1 as an entertainer (particularly movies), while Jeff is irrelevant. That's the way I see it.
