Top 10 Best Will Smith Songs
Will Smith's music career is one of the more unique and memorable chapters in pop culture history. Long before he became a major movie star, Will was a hip-hop pioneer who managed to break into the mainstream with songs that were fun, clever, and catchy enough to be enjoyed by audiences of all ages. Starting out in the late '80s as one half of DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince, Will delivered a style that mixed lighthearted storytelling with a good sense of humor - something not often seen in the harder-edged rap scene of the time. With his friend and collaborator DJ Jazzy Jeff by his side, the duo brought hits like Parents Just Don't Understand and Summertime to the charts, even earning a Grammy for their efforts.Then, in the late '90s and early 2000s, Will's solo career exploded. Hits like Gettin' Jiggy Wit It and Men in Black became iconic tracks, blending hip-hop with pop in a way that was almost impossible not to dance to. He had an incredible knack for creating songs that didn't just top the charts but also became a soundtrack to the era's feel-good vibes.
The catchiest song of all time! So simple, but a great beat, fantastic rapping, and SUCH A CATCHY chorus make the song undeniably fantastic.
I believe we can achieve world peace if everyone in the world listens to Switch at the same time.
This is the catchiest song ever! Love it!
I'm getting jiggy with it! The video may be a little strange, but this is certainly his best song. The lyrics are great, and it makes you want to get up and dance. Whoo! (Somehow AOL Radio put this as the 19th worst song ever!)
I LOVE this song. I even have the album. The Greatest Hits. I'm happy that it's number one.
Just makes my body move by itself. Really great beat and catchy lyrics.
I like this song. Not my favorite, but I like it. I wonder who sings "Here come the men in black."
Awesome movie equals an awesome song about the movie? NOPE, but in this case, hell yeah!
This song epitomizes the greatness of the '90s.
You don't need a reason to declare that THIS is the best song there is. Come on, have you ever heard Punjabi beats THAT cool? Even Bhangra artists can't get that right!
My favorite song. Great meaning, showing that Will Smith doesn't need to sound like everyone else to make great music. It's generally a BRILLIANT song.
In my opinion, Will Smith is the best rapper on the planet. This song was one of the first I ever listened to, introduced to me by my dad. This album was the first I ever listened to by Will Smith. I hope he makes a great comeback in the rap game.
Will Smith is such an original and legit MC who doesn't need to curse every five seconds to rap.
An entire generation knows every word to this song. We've never even heard half the songs currently on the Top Ten. Just ask any club DJ which song people who grew up in the 1990s would get most excited about hearing.
This is Will Smith's signature song. It's one of the perennial hip-hop songs. Probably the first one I heard. #1
Simply the best summer song there is. Reminds me of the days when you sit in the sun and just relax. Very underrated in my opinion.
This song reminds me of the good old days. It is still the best song ever to me.
The beat was fresh, and the lyrics were unique. The video was so fresh, and the girls in the video were HOT. If Miami wanted epic-level promotion, there is no other song that can do it like this.
This song should be Will Smith's best song ever instead of Gettin' Jiggy Wit It.
Will Smith's facial expressions in this song are awesome. A different song.
Listen, he does this for himself. He doesn't need to wear all the chains and watches. He wants you to love him for who he is.
The Newcomers
Just love this old melodious hit. Everyone can relate to the song from their childhood. This song won a Grammy Award for Will Smith, the first one ever awarded to a rap artist.
Very funny rap song. Ever since he became a parent himself, he has never been able to live that one down. Haha.
How could you not love this song? The beat is very catchy, and it's just an overall great song!
Great song! Amazing beat and lyrics. You can't help singing along to the chorus. FABULOUS!
Great! So cool. And the video is so smooth. How can you not like that beat?
I can't believe I've never heard this song before. I heard it today for the first time and loved it!
I think this song is a little bit better than Men In Black. This really got the beat!
Amazing lyrics! Very underrated. You know how everyone has a lyrical song that everyone likes, such as Dance with The Devil by Immortal Technique, Stan by Eminem, Juicy by The Notorious B.I.G., and Changes by Tupac. Well, this is like that, except for Will Smith.
Great song with a catchy beat and amazing chorus. Will's Cruisin'.
Great vocals by Mary J. Blige, passionate verses from the Fresh Prince. Nice to see someone achieve that level of pain and still be socially conscious.
Will Smith himself said that this was potentially the best song he ever wrote.
