Willard Carroll "Will" Smith, Jr. (born September 25, 1968) is an American actor, producer, rapper, and songwriter. He has enjoyed success in television, film, and music. In April 2007, Newsweek called him "the most powerful actor in Hollywood". Smith has been nominated for five Golden Globe Awards, two Academy Awards, and has won four Grammy Awards.
In the late 1980s, Smith achieved modest fame as a rapper under the name The Fresh Prince. In 1990, his popularity increased dramatically when he starred in the popular television series The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. The show ran for six seasons (1990–96) on NBC and has been syndicated consistently on various networks since then. After the series ended, Smith moved from television to film, and ultimately starred in numerous blockbuster films. He is the only actor to have eight consecutive films gross over $100 million in the domestic box office, eleven consecutive films gross over $150 million internationally, and eight consecutive films in which he starred open at the number one spot in the domestic box office tally.
From 2010 to 2012, Smith played for the Newcastle Knights' NYC team. On 28 May 2012, he re-signed with the Knights on 1-year contract. In 2013, he moved on to the Knights' New South Wales Cup team. On 25 June 2013, he signed a 2-year contract with the Penrith Panthers starting in 2014.
2014
In Round 21 of the 2014 NRL season, Smith made his NRL debut for the Panthers against the Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs. On 21 September, he was named at five-eighth in the 2014 New South Wales Cup Team of the Year.
In his initial season at Texas Tech, he played in all 13 games and logged 55 tackles with 34 solo tackles. His performance would earn him an third Team All-Big 12 Conference selection by Phil Steele.
Smith's senior season in 2013 earned him several accolades. He posted 120 tackles (86 solo), 10.5 tackles for loss, 4.5 sacks, and a fumble return for a touchdown. His mark of 120 tackles was the most by a Red Raider since the NCAA record setting Lawrence Flugence's in 2002 at 193.
DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince is an American hip hop duo from West Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Rapper Will Smith (The Fresh Prince) met disc jockey Jeff Townes (DJ Jazzy Jeff) in the 1980s, when they were both trying to make names for themselves in West Philadelphia's local hip hop scene. After joining forces with Clarence Holmes (Ready Rock C) the team members became local celebrities. Holmes left the group in 1990, and later sued it for his friend in 1999.
The group received the first Grammy Award for Best Rap Performance in 1989 for "Parents Just Don't Understand", though their most successful single was "Summertime" which earned the group their second Grammy and peaked at number 4 on the Billboard Hot 100. Will Smith and Jeff Townes are still friends and claim that they never split up, having made songs under Smith's solo performer credit. DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince have sold over 5.5 million albums in the US.
History
Early years (1985–1988)
Jeff Townes and Will Smith were introduced to each other by chance in 1985. One night, Townes was performing at a house party only a few doors down from Smith's residence, and he was missing his hype man. Smith decided to fill in and both felt strong chemistry. So much that Townes was upset when his hype man finally made it to the party.
Will Smith (born 1971) is an English stand-up comedian, screenwriter, novelist and actor.
Early life and education
Though born in Winchester, Smith grew up in Jersey and was educated there at Victoria College. His brother is the TV presenter and wine critic Olly Smith.
The character of Will Smith is loosely based on the life of actor Will Smith. Smith's charming and mischievous personality earned him the nickname "Prince," which eventually became "Fresh Prince". Smith became a successful rapper, but lost most of his money because of poor budgeting. When NBC signed Smith up for the sitcom, he was almost bankrupt, and it immediately launched his acting career.

Sorry if you're in Germany, youtube doesn't want you listening to Fresh Prince remixes.
It's 10 a.m. and I just woke up
Walked to the window and opened the shades up
Sun so bright that I can hardly see
But I'm a black man so I pass on a tan
Dip to the bathroom take me a shower
But first called up my girl told her be ready in an hour
I was still a bit tired man I'm laggin'
Grabbed the tooth brush to kill the dragon
Have mercy, great day in the morning
Turn on the water ...

Lyrics:
When I wake up in the morning, love
And the sunlight hurts my eyes
And something without warning, love
Bears heavy on my mind
[Chorus]
Then I look at you
And the world's alright with me
Just one look at you
And I know it's gonna be
A lovely day

It's 10 a.m. and I just woke up
Walked to the window and opened the shades up
Sun so bright that I can hardly see
But I'm a black man so I pass on a tan
Dip to the bathroom take me a shower
But first called up my girl told her be ready in an hour
I was still a bit tired man I'm laggin'
Grabbed the tooth brush to kill the dragon
Have mercy, great day in the morning
Turn on the water and I'm stretchin' and yawnin'
Tryin' to get a blend to the hot winter cold
Man I'm young but why I feel so old
Get it just right then step to the mirror
Rubbin' my eyes to make my vision get clearer
Everything looks A-okay
And today is gonna be a lovely day
Chrous:
Lovely day, lovely day, lovely day, lovely day (x4)
So I jet out the crib and hop in the Benzo
Today is my girls day can't none of my friends go
Just me and her top down on the highway
If you're gonna do it then why not do it the fly way
First a car wash next the barber shop
Then off to my girls crib that's my next stop
A dozen roses a card and candy
I'm a true mackadocious Mr. Romantic
She hoped in and she asked where we're goin'
Yo we like a twig in the Nile, we just flowin'
Maybe to the beach or maybe hook up a picnic
But yo it doesn't matter 'cause today we just kickin' it
I threw in my homemade slow tape
And off to the beach for some beautiful landscape man
This is a bonafide lovers delight
Got the ocean on the left, the mountains on the right
I said, "Yeah" 'cause that's the way I was feelin'
Free as a bird got the clouds for a ceiling
I wish that I could press the gas and fly away
Today has been a lovely day
Chrus
It's dark outside now and it's gettin' kinda late
The date was great but here comes the moment that I hate
It's too bad a lovely day has gotta end up like this
A wave goodbye with a hug and good night kiss
I said, "Good night my lovely", I said, "Good night my lovely"
She said, "What you gonna leave me all alone?
Oh I forgot to tell you there ain't nobody home"
Now y'all know me I'm a real cool guy
But inside things was kinda like the fourth of July
I walked inside I said, "Hello there miss"
Then she gave me a kiss, oh you want some of this
Passion building mentally bonding
Slowly I caress her and she's respondin'
Just close your eyes and keep thinkin' of me, here I come girl, lovely

You're trapped on the dance floor It's locked, there's no escape There's no eat, no drink, can't take a break No seat to sit down, you gotta stand up The record on the wheel reacts like a handcuff You're in a cage and this groove will bound you People in the club like bars around you The doors open up and the people are boarding Here are the prisoners, the DJ is the warden Your mind is useless, instinct takes control Jam to techno, groove to soul to soul You been arrested, now you're being tested The beat is a sex fiend, you're being molested Stead drum kicks like pistol in spinal You gotta dance and get round like a Rhino The DJ cuts with a knife like a surgery Sayin' that the slice ain't nice that's perjury The music infiltrates you, mutates you Grabs you, holds you, moulds you and let you Do things you wouldn't-a otherwise done Like shake, rattle, roll, pump, twist and then some Ain't no law here, you can't protest this Stop looking around, it ain't no oasis You can't leave till the man pulls the needle Take that as a warning Take heed or I'll quicken the pitch and make you dance faster The drum is the whip, bass line is the master The temperature's a 100 and yet you still want more You're a slave and you're trapped on the dance floor Oh oh I'm trapped like a [unverified] I can't get out Can't you see I'm trapped?
