    Some critic once said that Will Smith makes rap accessible to white America. While I'm not a white American, the sentiment still applies to me. I actually liked this song too, as much as I liked MC Hammer's "Can't Touch This".

    For sale: Cuban cigar used in rap music video, only lit once, guaranteed to contain an ounce of spit and teeth marks from celebrity actor/singer Will Smith, starting bid $5.

    That's funny...most rap records are sold to "white america", and will smith just isn't very relevant in the scene, clubs, or anything else involving rap and hip hop. Not even at the time the song came out. Rap is plenty accessible to "white america."

    Edited to turn gibberish into english.

    What I don't get is, if your avatar represents you, why do guys use a picture of some hot chick as their avatar?

    What I don't get is why video container formats take so long to get into mainstream use and home entertainment machines. Only in the last, say 2 years from what I've seen, have we really "accepted" mp4 as a widely accepted format on machines like PS3 and such. The format was first approved in 1998.

    If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
