The Very Best Of D.J. Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince

Release Date: June 06, 2006

82876817492

CD Album

Topping the charts throughout the '80s and '90s with such hits as "Parents Just Don't Understand," "A Nightmare On My Street," and the anthemic "Summertime," Jeff Townes (aka, D.J. Jazzy Jeff) and Will Smith (aka, The Fresh Prince) brought rap music to pop audiences worldwide. Formed in 1986 in Philadelphia while performing at a house party, D.J. Jazzy Jeff & Fresh Prince served as the launching pad for two major music careers. Renowned for his turntable skills as spotlighted on tracks such as "The Magnificent Jazzy Jeff" and "Brand New Funk," D.J. Jazzy Jeff is internationally acknowledged as a significant figure in the art of turntablism. Today, he plays a major role in nurturing the Neo-Soul movement coming out of Philadelphia. The rapper of the group, Will Smith, needs little introduction as he rose throughout the '80s and '90s to become one of America's biggest stars of film, music and television. Together, as D.J. Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince, they created some of the most memorable hits of their day and, individually, continue to woo fans worldwide.

wow this is so weird...yesterday i was in bed listening to JJ+FP before i went to sleep and I was thinkin bout how Jive could release another compilation CD since they did it after every Will Smith album. And wow look what happens. This is gonna be a hot disc. I can sense it. #21 Tracks? WHOA! That tracklisting right there covers all the singles and hits pretty much which means theres room for more tracks considering tracks are missing from the tracklisting above!

Wow i have such good feelings now about this. And every track will most likely be remasted and I can finally have "Jazzys Groove" remastered.

Can't wait!
