“Gettin Jiggy Wit It” by Will Smith

No I love Fresh Prince of Bel Air but his music is all terrible.

His song Miami is a lot of fun and a classic

I wonder if Jada still gets jiggy with Will!

You can’t hate people for what their ancestors did. All we can do is move on and try to do better.

His songs performed better in the UK than states.

Oops

Don’t quit your day job, Will

He used to be fun.

I was not much of Will Smith fan, but I remember downloading this one from Napster or Morpheus.

I wish will you stop making all those junk films like Suicide Squad, Men in Black I,II & III, Bad Boys . . .and make films that tell 'our story'

I had the entire CD as the hold music at the marketing agency I worked for then and you would have thought it was Mobb Deep or other hardcore rap. The company was based in Boston...

It was fun and wholesome

It’s great but mostly because of the sample which is He’s The Greatest Dancer by a Sister Sledge and written by Chic (Nile Rodgers and Bernard Edwards). His rap good but it’s their music that gives it the energy

“Getting jiggy” is probably the most cringe-inducing lyric I know. And for some reason it’s worse when a white person says it, thinking they’re being cool.

R14 that was the case back in the 90s 😂

Tell me about it, r14.

^This.

Is this the kind of content we can look forward to from maturing millennials? This? Really?

Fuck him and fuck you too.

He was chubby in that Jiggy video. I don't remember Will Smith being a big gal.

I don't know her.

Or it.

I always hated his ‘music’. Men In Black was the only half decent song as it sampled Forget Me Nots and had SWV’s lead singer on the chorus.

Oh, honey. We can’t keep talking about Judy Garland and the Golden Girls for forever.

Even Summertime? No way!

R23 here (not R1) but I’ll give you Summertime too as being an ok song of his.

Doesn’t getting jiggy mean acting like a jigaboo?

Isn’t that rather racist?

I know he started with music but I much prefer his acting but only his comedy.

I think it's fun block party music. Not everything needs to be "serious"

When I was a kid I liked his stuff with DJ Jazzy Jeff

I don’t remember this song approaching anything close to a global phenomenon. And I grew up in the 1990s.

Will was Drake before Drake was a thing.

Is Leslie Jones going to play him in a biopic? Look at R30

R31 welcome to classic hyperbole by DL's low brows in flyoverstan.

R31 you also don’t remember JFK Jrs death apparently. You lived under a rock. Not the rest of our fault.

Nobody thought saying jiggy was cool. The song was just fun with a sense of humor.

He used to get so much shit for how he wouldn’t cuss or anything in music. He always kept it clean.

It was funny when Will made a 180 on this song: when he was promoting it, he was selling it as the coolest song in the world. And then people heard the song. Once it started falling down the charts, Will started to sell it as the corniest song in the world.

You want cool? Call Will. You want corny? Call Will. He'll cash all the checks with a smile.

R38 it was a number 1 hit here.

No one cares about “Gettin Jiggy Wit It” or Will Smith.

A #1 Hit ❤️

No one cares about "Gettin Jiggy Wit It" or Will Smith.

What the fuck is “jiggy”? Some kind of Irish condition?

It was from when everyone got along.

What is he getting jiggy with??

“when people would sing the chorus all over the world lol”. Are they letting inpatients at the mental hospital have internet access now?

Nah. Just meh 😕

Miami was a fun song

His music was disposable junk. It's mostly forgotten now.

R49 ditto his films
