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.
