@vaccinatedanti-vaxxer on July 24, 2026 12:49 am Casting for this show was perfect! So many unforgettable shows in the 90s, comedy was at its peak, sitcoms were at its peak. But fresh prince of bel air stood out

@jimedwards4901 on July 24, 2026 1:20 am The fact he didn’t understand what rap was about made him perfectly BOUJEE for the part.
@baconwrappedbubbleshts on July 24, 2026 1:27 am I mean, he did it for a job, not for the betterment of Will Smiths life progression………..
@MaryRodgers-v4d on July 24, 2026 1:42 am Will Smith was always ignorant. Glad he checked him. More people should have.
@princeblack952 on July 24, 2026 1:43 am It’s definitely his voice along with the road as being a uncle😮
