Coincidentally, it was this family friendly nature that turned off the Hardcore set as they felt that the duo was little more than a bubblegum act. DJ Jazzy Jeff did have major credibility as top turntable artist and the Fresh Prince (Will Smith) was more than competent as a rapper but their accessibility made them a liability in terms of “street cred”. History has looked back a little kinder on their music and if this could be a wild card entry depending on how huge Will Smith’s career remains.
