In this unsettling reimagining, the smooth-talking, swagger-filled narrator isn’t here to party… he’s luring kids with charm, games, and magic tricks under the guise of fun. He struts through neighborhoods with a twisted grin, tossing candy, whispering riddles, and leading children astray with hypnotic dance moves. Dressed to impress in a shadowy pinstripe suit, he hides his true motives behind catchy rhymes and a slick rhythm.

gav
Yeah. Okay. Okay.

04:47.38
gav
I'm going to say it's like a Polaroid camera, but as you take the photo, it chars the outside of the photograph as it's printing. So it's kind of like an like a like the frame of the photograph is like charred like an old pirate photograph or something like that.

05:03.50
Bevo
I was going to guess, uh, it toasts an image, ah so an image of yourself onto the bread.

05:03.34
Chibbs
Okay, all right.

05:04.17
gav
It's toasting this selfie.

05:09.35

05:09.65
gav

05:10.83
Chibbs
That's what it is it is.

05:11.69
gav
Fuck.

05:12.16
Chibbs
It is your selfie is burnt onto a slice of bread.

Chibbs
Yeah.

05:19.50
Bevo
ah Eat yourself.

Honestly, if someone made that, I would...

05:23.26
Chibbs
And they have. These are were all real inventions.

05:26.00
gav
Oh, for fuck's sake.

05:27.97
Bevo
Can someone take a set?

05:28.20
gav
I should have known because Mad Dog made it and now he's rich.

05:28.30
Chibbs
f everything everything everything i've said Everything I've said is a legitimate invention.

05:30.32
gav
is is Isn't that...

05:35.78
Bevo
Should get a photo of a bag of dicks when you, not your bread and go eat a bag of dicks.

00:01.24
Chibbs
All right. We got lyrics and lots of them because Will Smith is a chatty, chatty man.

00:07.67
gav
He's a chatty boy, has been known to chat.

00:09.06
Chibbs
is. Yeah. um All right. The lyrics, lyrics, lyrics. He's got an intro. It's an intro. It starts with this. It goes, bring it.

00:23.21
Chibbs
Ah, ah, ah, ah. What, what, what, what? Oh.

00:28.19
Bevo
Like an English lesson.

00:29.47
gav
Yeah, this is the this is the lyricism I expect um from a top-tier rapper.

00:32.75
Chibbs
yeah can write I hope he wrote that down. Like, I hope he was there, like Ice Cube in the corner writing.

00:40.32
gav
ah See, that's the thing. I picture um Will Smith, first and foremost, actor, right? And i feel like, well, he wasn't a good one.

00:48.10
Chibbs
Well, no, no. he was so but He was a rapper first.

00:51.80
gav
And I feel like this, my idea of Will Smith, his forte is acting. I feel like this is a stretch for him.

01:01.08
Chibbs
I disagree. ah he He's a rapper.

01:02.77
Bevo
Yeah, I had disagree as well.

01:05.22
Chibbs
It was Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince. They were fucking huge.

01:07.22
Bevo
Yeah.

01:09.28
gav
So, okay, fair enough.

01:10.43
Chibbs
and then And then he got that he got that TV show.

01:11.31
gav
ah you you Do you think he's a better rapper? Do you think he's a better rapper than he is an actor?

01:16.61
Chibbs
i think he's as good a rapper as he is an actor.

01:20.09
gav
Ah, fuck.

01:20.98
Bevo
Well, who are you comparing him to?

01:22.25
gav
You're so combative to, i don't know, the history of...

01:24.47
Chibbs
and I'm just saying, he's won Academy Awards, he's won Grammys. Like, what do we

01:28.19
gav
Okay, yeah. Go on,

01:29.12
Bevo
See, it's also like he is to rap.

01:30.14
Chibbs
we day

01:33.48
Bevo
I'm

01:36.48
Bevo
trying to think.

01:36.88
gav
go on. go on

01:38.83
Bevo
Will Smith is to rap as fucking...

01:43.52
Bevo
Rod Stewart is to rock. I don't know.

01:47.05
gav
What the fuck does that mean?

01:48.92
Bevo
He's like...

01:49.16
Chibbs
Well, I've just said...

01:50.02
Bevo
the poppiest of rap.

01:51.93
Chibbs
Yeah, I'm saying, like, he literally was at such a big rapper that they gave him a TV show called The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air because he was Jazzy Jeff and The Fresh Prince.

01:52.69
gav
Okay, sure. Yeah.

02:00.63
Bevo
Yeah.

02:02.79

02:09.54
gav
Yeah. yeah

02:10.26
Bevo
Yeah. Yeah.

02:11.86
gav
Fair enough. All I'm saying is I picture Will Smith's ad-libs in the studio, la this intro, being written on a sheet of paper and he's reading off it very carefully.

02:22.01
Chibbs
it does say It does seem like every single thing he's ever done with his career is calculated.

02:26.99
gav
Yeah.

02:26.97
Bevo
yeah

02:26.98
Chibbs
that's what ah That's what I think you're trying to say.

02:29.11
gav
That's what I'm trying to say. He sounds like he's reading he's reading his ad-libs.

02:30.09
Chibbs
Yeah.

02:32.39
gav
He's not ad-libbing. he's he's so I feel like his manager wrote ad-libs and he read them off a sheet of paper.

02:38.41
Chibbs
I mean, you know, he he this we're talking about the guy that wrote, boom, shake the room. but You know, tick, tick, tick, boom.

02:43.55

06:48.10
gav
I mean, we,

06:50.61

He did. I feel like Chris Rock should have probably seen ah Will Smith approaching on that stage and be like, wait a minute, this guy's a self-confessed psycho.

06:59.67
Chibbs
I know that he knows that I know that he is a psycho. Yeah.

07:02.92

07:11.71
gav
ah

07:14.18
Bevo
Oh,

07:17.50
gav
um

07:17.93
Bevo
fuck. I know that he knows that I know that he goes psycho.

07:21.19
gav
Can I just say, i think we've actually, without even realising it, already stumbled across a robbery anthem.

07:28.47
Chibbs
It is?

07:29.51
gav
Well, all up in my eye, you got a Prada bag with a lot of stuff in it. Uh, uh, uh.

07:35.87
Chibbs
so he's iron off the bag.

07:37.14
gav
Like, he's...

07:37.95
Chibbs
like

07:39.45
gav
Look, if someone's...

07:39.65
Chibbs
um just you know I'm waiting for him to put that down.

07:40.64
gav
if The thing is, if someone comments... We've had a lot of songs recently. My Baby Wants a Birkin, Shaboozie. We've had a lot of songs recently mention handbags.

07:47.29
Chibbs
yeah

07:49.46
gav
This is the first one that mentions that bag's got a lot of stuff in it.

07:53.37
Chibbs
That's a very full bag you're carrying around.

07:54.13
Bevo
Not about the bag.

07:54.46
gav
and And will smith Will Smith is looking at that bag. He's not looking at the handbag. He's going, that that looks like it contains items that i'm might that I might like to acquire.

08:04.31
Chibbs
ah And if the bag's expensive, the things inside it are going to be through the roof.

08:05.71
gav
I think this is... The things inside it, yeah. If you need if you need a Prada bag to hold whatever's in there, then...

08:14.08
Chibbs
If the receptacle costs $10,000, then what's inside must be like Fort Knox.

08:17.10
gav
imagine ah Imagine what's inside. So, yeah, I think whether or not he whether or not he's specifically asked anyone to raise their hands ah in ah in in a this-is-a-stick-up fashion,

08:20.95
Bevo
Is that gum?

08:27.88
Chibbs
So it's not a... rot It's more of a snatch and grab? Like, is it like a...

08:31.17
gav
I feel like a snatch and grab. I feel like it's... ah Or like at the very least, he's casing this.

08:33.04
Chibbs
Okay.

08:35.93
Chibbs
Okay.

08:35.99
gav
So he might...

08:36.63
gav
he might

08:38.25
Chibbs
He could be casing.

08:38.74
gav
It's early in the song. Maybe second verse, we might see where this goes.

08:40.53
Chibbs
Okay. Well, we're still halfway.

20:46.36
gav
I feel like the reason you don't have much for this one, Bevo, is I think it's just like, this is just a bunch of random shit. Like the following, like I said, those those those previous four lines that we read from the previous half of this verse are probably the four strongest lines in the song.

21:01.24
gav
i The next ah start of this one, I've got the fever for the flavor of a crowd pleaser.

21:06.90
Chibbs
Is that where the hot action cop song came from?

24:32.36
Bevo

gav
ah No, I reckon not. I reckon not.

24:46.88
Chibbs
Fair enough.

24:47.70
gav
Could be wrong, could be wrong, but I just, I reckon there's some subtle beef.

24:48.62
Chibbs
I don't know. I don't know if there's any Will Smith. Will Smith's ever been in on a Wu-Tang. I don't think he's part of the Klan, but yeah.

24:56.93
gav
Yeah, yeah.

24:58.57
Chibbs
um

24:58.86
gav
What else we got there? There's there there's just not that much. There's not that much.

25:03.51
Chibbs
You know, there's still, there's just these little tinges of the the children thing. It's just disturbing. ah He says...

25:12.93
gav
Women used to tease me, now they give it to me nice and easy. I feel like he's... What came first? um um what's that fucking what's What's Biggie Smalls' biggest song?

25:23.26
gav
What am I trying to think of? Juicy.

25:25.65
Chibbs
Ah, I was going to say fat, fat.

25:26.99
gav
What year was... Juicy was released in...

25:33.26
Bevo
What's the... It was all a dream. I used to read Word Up magazine.

25:35.87
gav
yeah yeah yeah that song that song i'm trying to figure out what year that was released because i feel like um oh 94 he's fucking stolen that line almost verbatim so uh champagne keep me pissy girls used to so uh the biggie smalls lyric is girls used to diss me now they write me letters because they miss me women used to tease me now they give it to me nice and easy i feel like he's just gone for the team who biggie lyrics

25:37.33
Bevo
yeah

25:53.43
Chibbs
okay

25:58.69
Chibbs
yeah ah it's it Yeah, it's it's Biggie Orton of Wish.

26:01.97
gav
Yeah, it it feels that way.

26:02.45
Chibbs
Yeah.

26:03.81
gav
That line is, that yeah, feels like a drag

26:06.70
Chibbs
So the last bit of this verse, he says this, rather play ball with shacking them, flatten them. Psych! Kidding!

26:15.22
gav
yeah

26:15.99
Chibbs
Thought I took a spill, but I didn't. Trust the lady of my life, she hittin'. Hit her with a drop top with the ribbon. Crib for my mum on the outskirts of Philly.

26:29.66
Chibbs
You trying to flex on me. Don't be silly. Getting jiggy with it.

26:35.30
gav
um Lady of My Life, this song was released just weeks after him and Jada Pinkett Smith got married.

26:41.11
Bevo
Yeah, right.

26:42.02
Chibbs
That worked out well for him.

26:43.51
gav
Yeah, definitely.

26:43.52
Bevo
Yeah.

26:43.96
Chibbs
Got him banned from the Oscars for 10 years.

26:47.89
gav
ah

26:48.15
Bevo
won him an Oscar though but I'm talking about that specific

26:50.52
Chibbs
I think he's won two Oscars on Willie.

26:53.00
gav
Has he? What was his other one for?

26:54.30
Chibbs
He did win an Oscar. They did give him a standing ovation ah

26:58.31
gav
moments Moments after smacking the shit out of Chris Walker.

26:58.87
Chibbs
ah moments after assaulting a man on live television.

27:01.82
Bevo
what a topsy-turvy thing crazy

27:04.77
Chibbs
Yeah. Yeah.

27:06.30
gav
Did you see the footage? the The best part of that was the footage of him later that night at the after party he went to, like holding his Oscar and dancing like such a fucking weirdo.

27:11.20
Chibbs
Oh, yeah. I've made a horrible mistake.

27:15.85
gav
God, it there's some strange fucking footage for that night if you want to take a deep dive.

27:15.88
Chibbs
Yeah. Yeah.

27:20.42
gav
It's weird.

27:21.61
Chibbs
ah Yeah, yeah, yeah.

27:21.92
gav
I think people have tracked his whole evening from that moment onwards and it's a roller coaster. It's strange.

27:27.98
Chibbs
Yeah. It is pretty wild he's releasing a new album now. like It's like, okay, well, like yeah, a new album's just about to come out.

27:32.21
gav
Oh, is he?

27:34.98
Bevo
Yeah.

27:34.98
Chibbs
Yeah.

27:35.26
gav
Oh, fuck.

27:35.26
Bevo
It's, and it's interesting.

27:35.59
gav
Why don't we hold out?

27:36.34
Bevo
It's, it's, it's, he's calling it like seasons or something, or he's releasing it like a, so like a, like a show.

27:36.67
gav
Let's...

27:43.64
gav
Four seasons.

27:46.82
Chibbs
Oh.

27:47.31
Bevo
And it's, um what did he call it? It's like, oh man, I've lost it now. It's some kind of story of his life kind of thing.

27:57.60
Chibbs
Okay.

27:57.80
gav
A Cuck's Life? It's like a bug's life, but it's him getting cucked.

28:01.49
Chibbs
It's like a bug's life, but it's Will Smith being tucked.

28:04.37
gav
if the if if the If the Bucks partners are fucking other men.

28:06.48
Chibbs
so yeah

28:10.27
Chibbs
That's how he pitched it.

28:12.38
Bevo
that's it. Based on a true story, which is ah the acronym BOATS.

28:16.47
Chibbs
Right, boats. Great.

28:17.69
Bevo
there

28:18.11
gav
ah God.

28:18.64
Chibbs
ah Based on a true story, my bald wife's a whore. ah

28:22.89
gav
ah

28:23.57
Chibbs
ah

28:24.41
gav
Oh, what the fuck? That is fantastic.

28:26.68
Chibbs
ah There's an outro. Again, it's just the children pleading for the for further for their innocence.

28:31.20
gav
No, no, can you can you hit us with the outro?

28:32.28
Bevo
and Safety.

28:33.83
Chibbs
No. There's no way. no No, I'm not.

28:36.29
gav
ah He says an uh-uh in the middle though. It's different.

28:39.70
Chibbs
No, no, no.

28:40.65
gav
Okay, so the record.

28:40.70
Chibbs
It's just no, no.

28:40.77
Bevo
I don't i ah don't want to hear that.

28:41.74
Chibbs
It's pleading more no, no, no, no. Stop it. Stop it, Will. Stop it. No, no, no.

28:46.86
gav
um Can I just tell you then, just for the record, if you look at how many times Na, the N-A, how many times they plead for their lives in this song?

28:47.73
Chibbs
Yeah. Yeah.

28:54.65
Chibbs
They plead for their lives, yeah.

28:57.97
gav
187 total.

28:59.45
Chibbs
My God, it's like Cambodia.

29:02.16
gav
and so Oh,

29:04.89
Bevo
What's A in the periodic table? Is it salt? Something?

29:08.54
gav
um

29:08.61
Chibbs
Yeah, I think. ah Yeah, isn't it?

29:10.51
gav
ah ah fuck.

29:11.99
Chibbs
Come on, Gav.

29:13.43
gav
Na is sodium.

29:14.10
Bevo
Sodium.

29:14.52
gav
Yeah.

29:14.96
Bevo
Yeah, that's what they're singing about, sodium.

29:15.02
Chibbs
Sodium.

29:15.55
gav
Yeah.

29:18.45
gav
Nah, it's just all.

29:18.68
Chibbs
Sodium.

29:19.21
gav
Yeah. Yeah.

29:20.74
Chibbs
Might be beryllium boron.

29:21.29
gav
Sodium.

29:23.19
Chibbs
Okay.

29:24.12
Bevo
Yeah.

29:24.24
gav
yeah

29:24.83
Chibbs
right.

29:25.05
gav
NaCl is salt. Sodium chloride. So they're just going for straight up sodium.

29:30.20
Chibbs
Yeah. But if you mix them together, you get...

29:30.37
gav
Yeah.

29:32.53
gav
Well, actually, I'm pretty sure if you mix, if you put pure sodium in water, it explodes like a motherfucker, actually.

29:38.12
Chibbs
Yeah, okay.

29:38.79
gav
So, yeah.

29:38.96
Chibbs
Yeah. There you go.

29:41.52
gav
maybe it's Maybe it's a terrorist anthem after all.

29:43.76
Chibbs
it Yeah, they can sneak up on you. but

29:46.97
gav
ah have we finally

29:47.53
Chibbs
Somewhat like the acts of terrorism.

29:48.58
gav
We finally fell down the terrorist tunnel.

29:50.05
Chibbs
Yeah.

29:51.53
gav
Took us the whole song, but we got there.

29:53.39
Chibbs
It was released on the 26th of January 1998. Australia Day. Australia Day, 1998. Getting jiggy with it. Yeah.

30:02.07
gav
He timed it to perfection.

30:03.42
Chibbs
It was released 1,689 days before the towers fell. 1,689. one thousand six hundred and eighty nine days before the towers fell

30:09.94
gav
How many? 1, 6, 8, 9.

30:11.48
Chibbs
one six eight nine

30:12.87
gav
That's cute.

30:13.52
Chibbs
Yeah. ah not not ah not not him Not in monkey bar range yet, but not not far off.

30:14.54
gav
He knew. Let's face it. He knew. No,

30:20.12
Chibbs
Yeah,

30:20.28
gav
but he knew. he knew

30:21.60
Chibbs
He knew. He knew.

30:22.70
gav
Actually, hang on. 98, 93. Yeah, okay. Never mind. A good few years after the 93 bombing.

30:30.02
Chibbs
Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

30:30.93
gav
Yeah, yeah.

30:31.20
Chibbs
They were starting to think they were starting to think that nothing was going to happen.

30:31.61
gav
So there was... you yeah that was I reckon... ah No, no, no. I reckon he he's kind of picked the midpoint here and gone like, I think there's more to come with those towers.

30:45.56
Chibbs
um Will Smith.

30:46.84
gav
I reckon Will Smith read this play like a fucking newspaper.

30:51.80
gav
reckon he's looking back at 93. He's looking forward to the new millennium and he's like, somewhere, somewhere just ahead.

30:55.98
Chibbs
He knows.

30:58.88
Chibbs
He knows. He knows.

31:00.31
gav
He knows.

31:00.46
Chibbs
ah It's written by Will Smith, Nasir Jones, a.k.a. Nas, Samuel Barnes, Bernard Edwards, and Niall Rogers.

31:12.66
Bevo
That's the um sample.

31:14.21
Chibbs
That's a sample.

31:14.45
Bevo
Noah Rogers from Sheik.

31:16.91
Chibbs
Sheik! Freak out!

31:20.97
gav
Wait, what? Did Nas actually, does he have a writing credit?

31:24.48
Chibbs
Sure does.

31:26.10
gav
Shit.

31:26.82
Chibbs
So Will Smith nearly went bankrupt um before reviving his music career. and He sp spent so much on luxury items while he was doing his TV show that he was in debt by $2.8 million dollars to the

31:44.23
gav
Jesus.

31:44.95
Bevo
Yeah, actually, he talks about this.

31:45.17
Chibbs
and

31:46.88
Bevo
There's a podcast with um Malcolm Gladwell, I think.

31:50.28
Chibbs
Oh, yeah.

31:51.36
Bevo
it's like It's Malcolm Gladwell's podcast and Will Smith is on it and he talks about that.

31:53.30
Chibbs
Okay. Yeah, it was just he just spent all the money he was making from the TV show and went, fuck, i have to go back and rap again to make some goddamn money.

31:55.72
Bevo
Yeah.

32:01.82
Bevo
yeah

32:01.95
gav
I don't

32:02.11
Chibbs
Yeah. um Nas has downplayed his co-writing

32:10.24
gav
blame him.

32:10.23
Chibbs
ah

32:12.07
gav
i don't blame him

32:12.13
Chibbs
um and in involvement in this song. Yeah. As time's gone on, he's like, yeah, I guess I was sort of when wrote it. didn't really do much, though.

32:22.57
gav
I was hanging around at that time.

32:23.93
Chibbs
you know

32:23.97
gav
Yeah.

32:24.50
Chibbs
yeah no i didn't really do much so

32:25.88
Bevo
I was jiggy adjacent.

32:28.12
Chibbs
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

32:28.81
gav
ha

32:29.04
Chibbs
yeah Samuel Barnes is of the producer group, the Trackmasters, who's produced Biggie and Jay-Z and Nas, but is most famous for working with Will Smith on this song.

32:43.55
Chibbs
Bernard Edwards is the bassist and co-founder of Chic, along with Nile Rodgers. So Bernard Edwards, that bass line is this, is Bernard Edwards, such a fucking sick bass line that's going through this whole...

32:56.46
Bevo
It's um Sister Sledge, isn't it?

32:57.67
gav
yeah

32:59.18
Chibbs
Yeah, Sister Sledge. Yeah.

33:00.36
Bevo
He's the greatest dancer.

33:01.87
Chibbs
Yeah.

33:04.49
gav
LES produced, I think, the album that this was on, and he also produced Life's a Bitch off Naz's Illmatic album, which is arguably one of the best songs on that album.

33:08.74
Chibbs
yeah Yeah.

33:16.08
gav
So, like, yeah, there's definitely...

33:16.18
Chibbs
Great. What a great album.

33:18.30
gav
and Fuck it. Honestly, yeah, Nas Illmatic is one of my favorite albums, period.

33:21.68
Chibbs
Yeah.

33:22.19
gav
that That's a fucking masterpiece.

33:22.45
Chibbs
Yeah.

33:23.63
gav
so

33:23.95
Chibbs
Yeah.

33:24.29
gav
But um Life's a Bitch is a fucking good... It was like the third third track, probably second real track, think the instrumental... so the The opening track's not a real kind of song, but that's a fucking good song.

33:34.88
Chibbs
yeah

33:36.76
gav
So there's there' people that were very much Nas adjacent all over this track.

33:41.92
Chibbs
yeah Yeah, that's right. yeah But Will Smith said he had to defend this song from haters.

33:44.16
gav
There's a lot of crossover.

33:47.78
Chibbs
So despite it becoming a huge hit, um like hip hop purists were just saying, like, this is like corny dad rap. um And he just had to say, like, um I don't give a shit about street cred.

34:00.67
Chibbs
I'm in debt to the IRS.

34:02.82
gav
but

34:03.58
Chibbs
$2.8 million. dollars Shut the fuck up. That's it.

34:06.09
gav
So the actual, the actual um like on on specifically that, there was a big rumor in the 90s that Nas actually ghost wrote the whole song.

34:06.17
Chibbs
Yeah,

34:06.94
Bevo
Just so enough for Men in Black 2.

34:15.45
Chibbs
okay. Yeah, okay.

34:15.86
gav
um

34:16.15
Chibbs
Yeah,

34:16.72
gav
And apparently Nas confirmed later that he was in the studio during the track development and suggested wines for the song.

34:24.69
Chibbs
okay.

34:24.87
gav
But he instantly wrote like the entirety of the song and finished it on his own.

34:24.85
Chibbs
Yeah, yeah.

34:29.29
Chibbs
Yeah, he's downplayed it.

34:29.48
gav
So de very much trying distance himself from it.

34:32.57
Chibbs
Yeah, 100%. Yeah.

34:32.92
gav
But um despite that, um ah other music executives, including Steve Stout, have maintained that Nass wrote the entirety of the lyrics.

34:33.00
Chibbs
Yeah, fuck. There

34:42.60
Chibbs
you go. It's a mystery.

34:43.96
gav
So that's there's a lot of speculation that this was not written by Will at all.

34:46.90
Chibbs
Well, apparently the song helped to make Jiggy a real word up until this time. It wasn't widely used and it blew up after this. And apparently it means being excited, stylish, or energetic.

34:58.22
Chibbs
And it peaked in pop culture, then died immediately after.

35:02.39
Bevo
Ha ha ha.

35:03.26
gav
ah

35:04.86
Chibbs
Yeah. um yeah this Yeah, there's a whole thing about, nah, it's just been like, nah, nah, nah, wouldn't say, but nah, nothing like that. It is... it is

35:12.86
gav
I drove past the studio when Will was inside. i was having a fucking thick shake.

35:15.84
Chibbs
Yeah. yeah

35:17.14
gav
I kind of yelled some out the window. I don't know. I was drunk.

35:19.58
Chibbs
I don't know. The song won a Grammy and people were fucking fur furious about it because it won best rap solo performance at the 1999 Grammys and it beat DMX, Busta Rhymes and Big Pun.

35:24.04
gav
No.

35:29.44
gav
Oh.

35:34.39
gav
Oh, God.

35:34.50
Chibbs
How didn't DMX kill Will Smith?

35:37.44
gav
wow Oh, my God. That is the definition of a popularity contest at that point.

35:43.88
Chibbs
My God. Yeah.

35:44.93
gav
Because if you look at all, if you look at that list of four, he's and not not even...

35:45.84
Chibbs
Can you imagine TMX being there and just being like, getting jiggy with it. Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah.

35:55.87
gav
oh fuck. That's fantastic.

35:58.26
Chibbs
Yeah. um So it wasn't number one hit, but it never charted in the UK. Yeah.

36:03.40
gav
Okay, good to know.

36:04.48
Chibbs
How's that? Yeah.

36:05.27
Bevo
with this.

36:05.92
Chibbs
Strange. It's produced by Poke and Tone of the Trackmasters. um Yeah, Biggie, Nas, Jay-Z. ah And then, yeah, Will Smith, it says here, didn't write most of his own lyrics, just in general, apparently, and he would often rely on Ghost Riders.

36:27.37
Chibbs
So it's sort of for the whole, like, who wrote the song, it's, yeah, it's...

36:32.24
gav
It's like, it might not have been Nas, but it almost certainly wasn't Will.

36:35.49
Chibbs
Yeah, yeah. ah And he doesn't use curse words, is the other thing. He's completely clean. um Just, it is how do I make ah rap song that is going to get me out of debt?

36:50.61
gav
Yeah.

36:51.01
Chibbs
Yeah, yeah

36:51.29
gav
Yeah.

36:51.40
Bevo
and

36:52.44
Chibbs
If you put that into AI now, you might get getting jiggy with it.

36:57.27
gav
yeah

36:58.57
Chibbs
That might be it goes. Is there a video for it, Gav?

37:02.67
gav
There most certainly is.

37:04.37
Chibbs
Ooh.

37:18.91
gav
That's not me.

37:20.47
Bevo
to

37:21.86
gav
Alright. um Relatively short and sweet here. Will Smith cosplays as a bunch of people who aren't cucks. A tragic case of

37:32.46
gav
A tragic case of all the budget, but no fucking idea.

37:38.86
gav
but

37:39.14
Chibbs
yeah

37:40.67
Bevo
Beautiful.

37:42.07
Chibbs
yeah

37:42.10
gav
um So yeah, basically, yeah, it's it's kind of just like, it's ah it's a weird film clip. If you watch it, it actually seems like it's quite high budget for that point in the 90s. And it's like lots of um lots of big locations, lots of backup dancers, lots happening, but nothing fucking happens.

37:57.32
gav
It's just Will Smith.

37:57.41
Chibbs
Nothing happens, but it does...

37:58.40
gav
Will Smith and a bunch of different outfits is basically the brief.

38:00.54
Chibbs
Yeah, it does start off with that whole, like, you know, the meme of um why does every 90s hip-hop song look like it's filmed in here, but it's inside a cheese grater?

38:09.62
gav
Yes.

38:10.24
Chibbs
That sort of thing?

38:10.26
Bevo
Yeah.

38:10.65
gav
Yes.

38:10.92
Bevo
Yeah.

38:11.13
gav
It is exactly that. It's inside a cheese grater with a wide angle lens.

38:14.87
Chibbs
Yeah.

38:15.33

50:56.30
gav
and But that's what I mean. I feel like that's why, because it's like rap was so counterculture in your face and then Will Smith's like, yeah, but how can I make it culture and not in your face?

51:43.00
gav
Oh, don't do this to me.

51:43.15
Chibbs
ah I'm saying, if he at some point had taken a fork in the road and gone, I'm just going to be fucking a hard like gangster rapper, his flow and the way his voice sounds and everything, could it could have been Nas-like.

51:59.39
gav
He could have done...

52:00.05
Bevo
Yeah.

52:00.09

52:00.44
gav

52:03.65
gav
The way he delivers Nas's lyrics.

52:05.10
Chibbs
Yeah, the way he delivers Nussle's lyrics, he could have definitely... have done that. Like, I think he's talented enough. He's got a good flow. He's a good rapper. He can do it. But it's just like, I write songs for PG movies.
