Will by will smith book7/1/2023 ![]() I also enjoyed the story of how Smith met DJ Jazzy Jeff. The two would become a popular hip-hop duo in the early ‘90s.ĭespite Smith’s early success, he writes about still feeling like a coward in the wake of the abuse that his mother suffered through. Not being able to protect her in that regard is what would continue to haunt him going into his adulthood. Therefore, the MC’s job was to hype the crowd up and compliment the DJ’s work. Hip-hop was relatively new at the time, and the culture was catered more toward the DJ’s ability to mix records. As technology advanced, DJs spent more focus on their craft and less on interacting with the crowd. This came at a time when the DJ was significantly more popular than the rapper or master of ceremonies (MC) that performed with them. So far, the most interesting part of the book details how Smith fell in love with battle rapping as a high schooler and eventually became the Fresh Prince. I’ve read just over 100 pages at the time of writing this, and I’m im- pressed with Smith’s ability to tell stories about his upbringing. He’s always been able to grab an audience’s attention with his words, which he describes was major fuel for his early rap career.
