After a commercial sales slump with their previous album, DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince to a year off from rap when they were cast into the hit show FRESH PRINCE OF BELAIR. By the end of the first season the show had become very popular so the demand for another DJ jazzy Jeff and The Fresh Prince album was high. Released in the summer of 1991 the album scored a hit with SUMMERTIME which is known today as the biggest hit of the summer of 91 and has been played on the radio almost every summer ever since.
The opening track I'M ALL THAT tells the story of the Fresh Prince's comeback. It's followed by the hit SUMMERTIME. Other good tracks are RING MY BELL, DOG IS A DOG, YOU SAW MY BLINKER, BOY IS SMOOTH and THE SUMMERTIME REPRISE. The rest is mainly filler that some will enjoy a lot.
In conclusion this is a very good album. I'm not much of a fan of rap but Will Smith and Jazzy Jeff are an exception as well as Kid 'n Play. This is when rap was safe and I recommend it to the whole family! It is really a fun album! |
