MissAshley Posted June 16, 2009 Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 i'm sure this doesn't warrant a new thread but whatevs, this has been on my mind since I heard somebody around here say that was Q in the FPOBA opening credits. KW: Before we start, I hope you could answer this trivia question. I recently interviewed Rashida Jones and I was asking her about the opening sequence of every episode of The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. Towards the end of the theme song, when Will gets out of the taxi, I always assumed that the cabdriver was Quincy Jones. Looks just like him. When I asked Rashida, she said had never heard that rumor before, and that she didn’t know for sure, but she didn’t think it was her father. Can you settle the mystery once and for all and tell us whether that’s Quincy behind the wheel? JPS: Yes I can. That cabdriver was not Quincy Jones. If I remember correctly, Will said he was actually somebody from Philly. And it's a cabdriver for sure. I just can't remember what the story is. But it absolutely is not Quincy Jones. so there's a bit of trivia for the FPOBA archives. I never thought it was him though, lol. Jada answered the question during one of her HawthoRNe interviews http://www.kamwilliams.com/2009/06/jada-pinkett-smith-hawthorne-interview.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JumpinJack AJ Posted June 16, 2009 Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 I never thought it was him and had no idea it was such a speculated thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Da Brakes Posted June 16, 2009 Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 (edited) Maybe he was made up to look like him then! I always just assumed it was him. Why else would Will make reference to it in the lyrics? Edited June 16, 2009 by Da Brakes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romano338 Posted June 16, 2009 Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 I was surprised when I read that it was Quincy Jones, but when we watch it... maybe it's him ! Why not !?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
