When Will Smith first entered the public consciousness in the '80s as half of DJ Jazzy Jeff & the Fresh Prince, few could imagine that a decade later he'd be one of the biggest stars on the planet, both in film and music. His GREATEST HITS collection appropriately begins with the good-time work of the aforementioned hip-hop duo (the teen plaints "Girls Ain't Nothing But Trouble" and "Parents Just Don't Understand"), but in due course gets around to the theme from Smith's successful TV comedy THE FRESH PRINCE OF BEL AIR and his later solo work.
Smith's film successes are represented by the soundtrack cuts "Men in Black" and "Wild Wild West," while the balance of the tunes show why he was the hottest rap-pop crossover act of the '90s. "Gettin' Jiggy Wit It" was quickly adapted into the public consciousness and vocabulary, and "Miami" is as effective a summer-fun tune as one could want. Smith's iconic stature is all spelled out across the 15 cuts that make up GREATEST HITS, a journey recommended to both fans and first-timers.

My personal favourate is No.9 - Gettin jiggy wit it.
As a performer Will Smith master in music, TV and movie. His music is very smooth, lightful lyrics will give you a very happy and relax day to work and from work, driving, parting, even practice your Hidden DJ talent.
Many favourate back ten years ago, delightful.
This is a classic and a must have for your CD collection. Will's smooth voice is great to listen to in these old favourites. They are all well known songs with one of my personal favourite's Miami. Who doesn't love a little comical rap? This is not a CD that you will be relaxing too but if you are in for a good beat or two BUY NOW!
