@my name ss Then why other generic pop songs not giving me thrill as that one? I was totally forget that song i was listening more than 20 years ago. Now i just saw it again by chance and still cheers me up like when i was child. And actually i don't listen popular music too much but i guess it's about WS's energy. It's catch you somehow. Also i like the clip too... Not a masterpiece but completes the song and it's fun.
When people say "they dont make music like that any more" they are right but a lot of time the music videos are forgotten as well. A good example of this is RW re-releasing a load of songs.. you suddenly realise how many had music videos and how much a part of the enjoyment they were! Not all were winners but, like, at least they were trying!
Man I'll never forget the year 1999. Everyone had a song, album, or video, commercial etc. about the new Millenium (Prince's 1999 got played a lot!!!). We all got excited about the future, and then when it finally was 2000, we were like "WE MADE IT!!!". After that, it was like nothing happened! Still, I think this was the greatest New Year's Eve ever!
"Let Hip Hop keep blazing the charts May the past keep a warm spot in your heart May the future hold more joy then pain Hands in the air waiting for confetti to rain"
This is the best song and video ever!! After 20 years it never gets old to me. It’s like the perfect new year party. I really wish once I celebrate new year near this awesome. Will Smith is genius!!! Big Willy Style album is my favorite and I still listen to it. If I had the chance to meet Will Smith I’d told him how awesome he is.
Wasn't "Rock the Casbah" a theme in the Fresh Prince as well? I think the in season 2, the episode where Carlton rented out the House for a Bell Biv DeVoe video shoot? While Uncle Phil and Aunt Viv were at the "Casbah" hotel?🤔
this was playing everywhere Y2K NYE... still got love for it... songs like a time capsule takes me straight back to 99 a 12 year old watching the dawn of a new millennium
Dunno if I ever answered this, but here goes again: Will Smith was considered too soft/kid-friendly by the rap community back in the day (they accused him of catering too much to "white" media, pg13 rating etc). But, as we all know, that exactly what part of his success was founded on. Him saying he is both "black and white" is just a nodge/jab back at those comments, :).
The song needed the sample for there to even be a song! Don't hate, I remember a lot of kids thought it was an original song and had a new found respect for Will Smith! It is what it is 😊x
Thank you Will, for both the memories and the nostalgia. Nobody quite did the hip hop cover of an old skool track like you did. I'll treasure this music, lyrically and musically for as long as I remember
xfm rogers muchmusic was amaazinggg. And omg electric circus wtf so good :') no idea what's been going on tv-wise for like over a decade tho lol I moved overseas and then muchmusic stopped being good. I took the awesome with me. :p
Loved this song!! There was a real feeling of optimism in the air. Will Smith had some truly good hits in the clubs around this time too - Miami, Jiggy With it etc. I had a pink glitter "2000" hair clip that I wore to school around this time, along with my cream pleather Britney style jacket, khaki bag and pearlescent pink shimmery lipstick 😂 Those were the days.
I love this song and it reminds me of being young with my mates. No house to pay for, no kids, no commitments really. I wish I could go back to the millennium new year. Sat in my mam and dads with my mates getting drunk on £20. Plus my mam and dad would be here too and I would certainly spend a lot more time with them.
i remember kids laugh at me because im listening to summer time, gettin jiggy etc because i grew up in a slump.they labeled this kind of music as 'gay' 'soft' 'corny'..now im 32.theres nothing wrong with being a gentlemen in hiphop
It'll never come back... information and entertainment nowadays are made to be disposable... gone is the time Michael Jackson spent millions on a video (gorgeous video btw, "Scream"), for example...
I miss the 90's sometimes. I was a kid/teenager back then.. Music and movies were better creativity wise, not everything was remade like today lol.... but access to things was not as easy pre youtube and social media. We relied on the TV, radio and a much slower internet back then. I had higher hopes for the first 20 years of this century then what has actually happened. I was naive back in 1999.
The video get old, but the beat are forever. I remember this was released in 1999 (Close to 2000) and I bought a Sony walkman CD player and saw the new Will Smith almbum "Willenium" and bought together. I was amazing. My first digital player with this song... Uffff.
I was 20 when this song came out in the charts I loved it and the year 1999 so many amazing memories and the music was so good back then. If only there was a real time machine I would go back in a heartbeat
Back then this guy could do no wrong and was Dominating the scene! Bring back this old-school Will Smith
Same! hope he can rebound miss the old Will Smith.
That’ll be a big NO thnx for me ty…
Let the man for once learn like the rest of us that he ain’t exempt from real consequences.

Lol Jada got him jaded..
K-Ci voice is so damn unique and special. The guy is pure talent.
Currently on a Will Smith music marathon. Haven't heard these songs in years!
ever since he grew balls I been diggin threw these old his... "gettin jiggy wit it"

Same! 👍
Jeff randomly telling Eve "I luv you" & Eve's facial expression, just cracked me up
She was like, 'Ew'.

It's ironic how the new decade started with a possibility of WW3 and once that went away we got into a global pandemic.

Now that's some Fresh Prince humor right there, gosh I giggled.
one of the most underrated songs ever!!!
4 sure and the creativity
It's because it had a GREAT sample of "The clash " rock the casbah"

Jennifer Lopez' "Waiting for Tonight" was HUGE in December of 1999.
Damn I miss the 90s😣
Robbie Williams ‘Millennium’ was huge as well before 2000! Any more songs about the new Millennium? I miss 2000.
@@MarcusDailyMedia me 2 the 90s was the best
Coz it was the Willennium!! ;)
Backstreet boys' *MILLENNIUM!!!*
Just remembered this song from out of nowhere. Will definitely have this song bumpin in 2021
"Let Hip Hop keep blazing the charts
May the past keep a warm spot in your heart
May the future hold more joy then pain
Hands in the air waiting for confetti to rain"
I was 14 when this song came out fast forward to being a 38 year old and heating those words in a time like this hits so hard

4 million views. Crazy. Should be way higher. Classic.
I hope in 2999 there's someone call trill smith so he can do a remix of this and sing The new millennium, yo excuse me Trillennium
***** Re...ally? That funny, huh?
Will Smith will still be around. Don't worry.

they should remake futurama 1st episode, but just 1st episode to include this song at the end.

Awsome. The 1990's best time to be alive, hits like what wil smith dropped. A nastalgic (pronounced) moment every time i hear this hit
Only just realised that he sampled “ROCK THE CASBAH” song!
Such an underrated song
One of the best songs of will and tremendous choreography
Love that Zoot Suit era in the 40's,, people had some style back then,,
Memories of my teens 1999
Will Smith be predicting the future by rocking the faceshield 😢
Facts lol
Eve: “Is Will always this late?”
Jazzy Jeff: “I love u!” (lol)😂😁
3:39 Jeez. That stylish minimalistic torso move. 2000 music videos were another level.
Why doesn't this have more views?

I'm just sitting back, watching how Will's gonna turn calamity into triumph.
The effort put into making this video and the creativity is something that's been lost and it's going to be hard to bring back.
It'll never come back... information and entertainment nowadays are made to be disposable... gone is the time Michael Jackson spent millions on a video (gorgeous video btw, "Scream"), for example...
I listen to these old school tracks way more than I watch his old movies. Will... make more music!!
Love that 2222 dancing, looks like Freedy LeGrand - Put your hands up to Detroit
