Did you like it when it came out? It was such a big hit back then. It almost felt like a cultural phenomenon when people would sing the chorus all over the world lol.
What a fun song! I wish Will would do more music.

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

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

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’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 😂

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

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.

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

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.
