Will Smith - Gettin' Jiggy Wit It
Scientology aside, it's hard not to love Will Smith. As far as modern(ish) actors go, it'd be tricky to disagree with granting him legendary status. But what about his rapping career...? We've ALL heard the theme tune to The Fresh Prince Of Bel Air (in fact it was my ringtone for a long period of time a few years ago), but what of his other material? By critics and musical snobs it's a much maligned affair, and with a debut album called Big Willie Style, you can perhaps understand why. It's dated as hell too - stuck in that brightly coloured '90s void. None of this bothers me though. I find his hits such as Gettin' Jiggy Wit It (and the honourable mentions of Summertime, Miami, Wild Wild West, Men In Black, Nod Ya Head and Girls Ain't Nothin' But Trouble) to be too infectious to ignore...despite my obvious whiteness...
