Boom! Shake the room

Phil_321

I'm not a rap fan in general, bar a bit of RATM, but this tune by Will Smith kicks ass. Best rap tune ever imo.

"The f..f..f..fresh p..p..prince is wh..wh..who I am". Classic
The stuttering section is the greatest moment in rap history.

Never forget the video with them absailing out of the roof onto a stage. Legendary.

For so-bad-it's-good value, the opening of the Fresh Prince TV show was classic -

now this is a story all about how
my life got flipped turned upside down
and I'd like to take a minute just sit right there
I'll tell you how I become the prince of a town called Bel Air

in west Philadelphia born and raised
on the playground is where I spent most of my days
chillin' out maxin' relaxin' all cool
and all shootin' some b ball outside of the school
when a couple of guys who were up to no good
started makin' trouble in my neighborhood
I got in one little fight and my mon scared
and said you're movin' with your auntie and uncle in Bel-Air
I begged and pleaded with her day after day
but she packed my suitcase and sent me on my way
she give me a kiss and then she gave me my ticket
put my walkman on and said I might as well kick it
first class yo this is bad
drinkin' orange juice out of a champagne glass
is this what the people of Bel-Air live like
hmmm this might be all right
but wait I hear they're prissy ???? and all that
is this the type of place that they should send this cool cat
I don't think so I'll see when I get there
I hope they're prepared for the prince of Bel-Air

:eek:

Yeah, the Fresh Prince theme was pretty cool too, but it can't hold a candle to Boom! Shake The Room.

Yo back up now and give a brother room
The fuse is lit and I’m about to go boom
Mercy mercy mercy me
My life is a cage but on stage I’m free
Hyped up syched up ready for wil’in’
Standing in a crowd of girls like an island
I see the one I wanna sic come here cutie
I flip ’em around and then I work that booty
Work the body work work the body
Slow down girl you’re ’bout to hurt somebody
Oh and yo let’s get just one thing clear
There’s only one reason why I came here
Ya really done want me to tig-a-tig-a-tig-a tell ya wassup (go)
Ya really done want me to tig-a-tig-a-tig-a tell ya wassup (go)

Well yo are y’all ready for me yet
(pump it up prince)
Well yo are y’all ready for me yet
(pump it up prince)
Well here I go here I go here I here I go
Yo
Dance in the aisles when the prince steps to it
The rhyme is a football y’all and I went and threw it
Out in the crowd and yo it was a good throw
How do I know? because the crowd went hoooo
In response to the way that I was kicking it
Smooth and individual
Rhymes always original
Like the dr. jekyl man and this is my hyde side
I am the driver and you’re on a rap ride
So fellas (yeah)
Are y’all wit me (yeah)
I said fellas (yeah)
Are y’all wit me (yeah)
Why don’t you tell the girls what y’all wanna do

Boom! shake-shake-shake the room
Boom! shake-shake-shake the room
Boom! shake-shake-shake the room

Tic-tic-tic-tic boom!

Here I go
The the f-f-f-f-fresh p-p-p-prince is who I am
So tell my mother that I never wrote a whack jam
But some times I get n-nervous and start to stutter
And I f-fumble every word for word I utter
So I just try to ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-chill
But it gets worse-a but worse-a but-but-but worse still
I need the c-c-c-crowd to k-k-k-kick into it
They help me calm down and I can get through it
So higher higher
Get ya hands to the ceiling
Let it go y’all don’t fight the feeling
Mic in a strangle hold sweat pourin’
And like jordan yo I’m scoring
Yeah that’s right y’all and I am in the flow
So pump up the volume along with the tempo
Many have died tryin’ to stop my show
I came here tonight to here the crowd go

Boom! shake-shake-shake the room
Boom! shake-shake-shake the room
Boom! shake-shake-shake the room
Tic-tic-tic-tic boom!

Great delivery too.

@_@

thats not thre fresh prince theme tune yeh loon.
he got a cab....

Chalk

I whistled for a cab, and when it came near,
The license plate said "fresh" and it had dice in the mirror.
If anything I could say that this cat was rare,
But I thought "Nah forget it, Yo home to Bel Air."

I pulled up to the house about seven or eight,
and I yelled to the cabby "Yo homes, smell ya later."
Looked at my kingdom, I was finally there,
To sit on my throne as the Prince of Bel Air.

whiskeyman

Criss Cross!!!

Daddy Mack will make ya..... JUMP JUMP!!!

(Excuse the paraphrasing, if I could remember my biology as well as I can stupid show themes I'd be doing well!)

Beat me to it Chalk...

Makaveli

Down with this sort of thing indeed.
Fight the good fight from the inside.

echomadman

I'm leaving the thread here, i'll confess to drunkenly enjoying this song at kiddie discos when i was 13/14.

Anyone hear will smiths freestyle on westwoods show a few weeks back.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/urban/westwood/gallery/will_smith/1.shtml
You can listen to it there, Westwood is his usual retarded self, but will's not too bad

David19

Has anyone heard will smiths response to all the people who dissed him? Its on his new album and its called mr nice guy. Its so bad its funny. He mentions eminem in it.

Makaveli

Will Smith would beat the crap out of Eminem in a fight and I for one would pay to see said fight.

Drum boy

YEah i'd love to see that fight actually!

Have you actually heard it? There was a sheet of lyrics knocking around that were so bad i assumed they were some fanboys sad attempt, if they were the real deal then i just dont know what to think.

Makaveli

There isn't actually such thing as a Will Smith fanboy is there?

echomadman

Apparently there is, i just heard th track in question and its not the "leaked" lyrics i read.
The actual song is pretty appaling too, but not as hilariously bad as those lyrics.

Klimseven

Jazzy Jeff is a legendary DJ though...one of hip-hop's pioneers. He (and Spindad) invented the transformer scratch. Quality DJ, chikkidy-chikkidy-check it...

Makaveli

Jazzy Jeff..
Yeah I agree, quality DJ.

Kristok

Did he actually diss eminem on that song ? i read somewhere he didnt actually say anything bout him but cant be bothered looking for it.

Jazzy Jeff had an album out a few years back it was good as far as i remember.

Jazzy "Jay" and the fresh prince where cool back in the day dont hate on em.

echomadman

Yeah, Jazy Jeff is still touring and still rocks houses. He's a quality DJ.

Klimseven

Jazzy "Jay" and the fresh prince where cool back in the day dont hate on em

no, it was Jazzy 'Jeff' and the fresh prince...I just made a mistake...

Jazzy 'Jay' is from Zulu Nation, and was one the one's who started Def Jam afaik...
