"Happiness is peace, not pleasure."
Will Smith is America's favorite uncle.
Every time I listen to Will Smith, he got me thinking I can rule the world.
What I loved was how informed the interviewers were, they did their research! Good stuff.
My favorite nugget from Mr. Smith: "As much as marriage is a relationship commitment it really is a singular commitment to yourself that you are going to use your marriage to develop yourself. MARRIAGE DEMANDS THAT YOU BE THE BEST VERSION OF YOU OR IT (MARRIAGE) AIN'T GON WORK!"
This interview is still not doing the numbers that it should have.
Will smith rarely does these type of interviews. It’s so refreshing to see him unleashed!!
Will is so human and wise. It sucks that he didn't get his credit as a rapper for years... What does it say about the black community that as a rapper he gets no respect because of his clean raps, as a actor he is always mentioned behind denzel and now even new black actors, as a married men his wife is beautiful and yet people talk more about love and hip hop or basketball wives. Will is so great and yet he gets no respect from the black community.
Mr. Smith if you ever read this I would love to take you out to lunch and say thank you! Thank you for not turning your back on us or leaving us even though we have done so to you for years. And most importantly thank you for showing the world that we black men are more, so much more than the negative stereotypes.
Will Smith legit should've gotten the Oscar for "Pursuit of Happyness".
I feel like my whole world just turned upside down after watching this. I've learned more about how to navigate relationships from this interview than I've ever learned under any other circumstance.
"Telling some one to STFU at the right time, is the right thing"
😂😂😭😂😭😭😂
quality interview......It's crazy that most people today don't know this guy was a rapper before anything.....Platinum in the 80s
He does a great Jay-Z impression. 7:40
His lesson about him learning when he should swear was mind blowing.
The fact that he is able to still answer a question from 10min ago, at the end of a monologue made me watch the whole thing! genius
I love how open Will is in this interview. I'm glad he is finally being his genuine self. Superb interview.
This man is a legend.. pure MOTIVATION. The proof that Age means nothing
"First things first rest in peace Uncle Phil,
For real..."
HOW IN THE WORLD AM I THE ONLY COMMENTATOR ON THIS VIDEO??
Will Smith... thank you for ASSISTING me in tapping into my inner self....to attain the most optimal capacity of my GREATER self....blessings.
No idea how people forget how good of a rapper he was/is. I guess that's what happens when you become the biggest movie star in the world. lol
Will Smith is a very intelligent man. Might I also add a man filled with wisdom.
The way he talked about his daughter was so sweet!
"You gotta say what's true for you & live or die by what that is. I'm enjoying the social demand for *authenticity*"
Love this guy. Drops wisdom every time he speaks. 💣💣💣🔥
He sounds like what Kanye thinks he sounds like.
I been waiting for this!
I love the colors in this interview!!!
"Happiness is peace, not pleasure". Brilliant interview from Mr Smith.
Great Interview. Very well guided by the moderators and just letting Will break it down philosophically and as an MC is as good as it gets!!
This is the Best interview I've listened to this year.
Much respect to this brotha. Fine example of a real man.
finally glad to see an interview highlighting Will's amazing rap career. Is extremely overlooked and you rarely hear him go into detail about it
I clicked so fast, lol can Will Smith just live forever 🤣🕺🏾
Great interview..Will Is a breath of fresh air and the reason why he is accepted as a rapper now is because back in the day when Hip Hop started if you was commerical you was called a sell out.. Rappers didn't want to go platinum we want it to stay underground so Will and McHammer was considered sell out but now Hip Hop is mainstream..2pac quote..What you waiting to beat my azz if I don't go pop...Two Fingers and one word."evolve ."
Will Smith is like one the most pleasant, cleanest SHARKS in my lifetime. Much dude love for him.
I'm so excited that we can see Will Smith have fun like this. It's incredible that he found his lane again and BOOM was back like he never left. Entire episode full of 💎💎💎💎💎💎
If I had not personally listen to this interview and allowed other’s opinion of what they gleaned from the interview to influence my thinking, I would’ve missed out on a great experience. It’s Amazing how we can project our own limited perspective on things, this was a beautiful and elevating interview! Living and thinking outside the box is not a common phenomena, most can’t relate!
Are there really no comments on this!?!?!??! Why am I the first one? YO! Will Smith and Lil Duval are my life and marriage goals! Thank you both for doing this. I grew up on him, his movies and the like. I appreciate this interview as it seems candid and I never really got to know him more than what I saw on TV.
Not a fan of many,but I've been rocking with "Will" since about 4 years old! Rapping "Fresh Prince Of Bel Air" intro on the school bus every morning! "Will Smith" is definitely one of my all-time favorite entertainers of my generation 💯 Movies,rap,tv shows,vlogs,etc I love it all!!!
That scene with will and his dead beat pops on the show hit home for me as a kid at the time. Around the time i saw that scene air i was going through the same thing. I felt the same anger and want as a son. Im happy me and my father got in a great space later in life though before he passed away
The amount of respect and love he and James Avery shared was truly special. What an absolutely beautiful moment to share w/ us. "R.I.P Uncle Phil"
Great to see this length of Will expressing himself. The parents back then didn’t understand, but we are the kids who understood and are now parents able to bring the lessons to the new generation. Thanks for being a breath of fresh air in this world we live in Will Smith. ✌🏼
Great interview!!! I love Will Smith. I love how he is using his life to be his best self and help others. And he's right Brand New Funk and Summertime were doooooope!!!
Will Smith never ceases to inspire me. My man!!
Happiness is peace, not pleasure.
I LOVED this interview thank u for the youtube upload
One of the best Interviews on UA-cam! Great job Rap Radar
It’s crazy because Will is one of the baddest Kats out there on the mic; and has only gotten better over the years. He is probably the most underrated out there.
Big Willy Style is in the building, breaking down his vision! Always refreshing to listen to him. The one thing that is rock solid throughout this SPECTACULAR interview is that Mr. Smith tends to gravitate towards ideas and people that have a real impact on our world.
He likes trendsetters. That's why (for example) the house of Medici and Kanye West keep popping as references throughout this wonderful conversation...
Oh by the way, ''Summertime'' is the eternal anthem of the summer!
will smith has always been such an inspiration
Yooo, that fighting with yourself to stay positive "offensive positivity bar" resonated with me TUFF Will Smith!!! Thanks for keeping it all the way AUTHENTIC in this interview big dawg!!! 💯
He’s glowingggg ✨
Fresh Prince! Respect for getting Will on this! peace
Words of wisdom from Mr Smith. I could listen to him all day, he's a very influential person.
James Avery had 40 years of stage experience and who can forget his unforgettable performance as Shredder from the original TMNT cartoon. J/k. RIP to Uncle Phil
Amazing. A huge celebrity figure in my childhood sharing his upcoming. Truly an icon
Icon living... this interview started off with a lot of rambling and then got kinda real.. I c u will. The whole dilemma behind tryna stay positive after everyone hates on how conservative u like to be is a real serious and relatable topic. It’s like, do I want to grow up and evolve professionally and with my communication and portrayal of myself or do I want to please my peers and their opinions.. I feel u mr smith
Truuuuuuu story
I was watching Denzel's flick Roman Israel, and my girl said,"I could see will Smith playing this role".... I thought for a few seconds, then said, " Nah. I don't think will would be as effective... will is awesome, but I don't think he could come off as meek as Denzel did playing this role. Will is a nice guy, but could he erase his swag completely the way Denzel did? I don't think so..."
Fast forward a few days later, and here's Will saying he sees Denzel do things that he can't.
#OpinionConfirmed lmao
I’m watching this now and I love hearing dude speak and learn little bits and pieces. HELLA UPLIFTING 🙌🏾
There is something refreshing about listening to Will talk about hip-hop and his influences
LOVE WILL SMITH! I grew up on Fresh Prince! I remember his first big movie Independence Day! He’s been my guy since day one and I love to see he is so down to earth. Such a cool and inspirational person!
I literally am in love with this man now
I've been waiting for this interview my whole life...
how is this not at 10 million views
Wow what an amazing interview. One of the best I've seen!! Learned so much about life
We're so blessed to receive a full hour of raw dialogue from this man.
this is truly, an iconic interview.
Such amazing points around the notion that if nobody knows anything, you must listen to your own intuition. As a creator, that is valuable realization to me.
Was waiting for this interview!
When he talks about his daughter....#beautiful.
Y’all just put a huge space in between you all and the rest of the podcast worldwide icon in both hip hop and film 🔥🔥🔥
Will uses Instagram perfectly
This is a very wonderful and inspiring conversation. Thank you!
I LOVE his take on marriage, I'm not a fan of marriage, but my man knows he's my forever person.
Greatest human to walk this Earth. Will "Fresh Prince" Smith
Great story of James Avery coaching him up...that was an iconic scene that struck with so many...
20 min in and this is the dopest interview on UA-cam.
The interviewers are ON POINT. Great job
What an incredible interview. I enjoyed this so much. Thank you.
this is one of the best interviews ive seen in a while
Will dropping so many gems man
That was such an Inspiration .. I am a Hip Hop Educator teaching Battle Rap in an Animated and Comic Book format to students 5th - 12th grades and that was an awesome lesson I'll be utilizing in my classroom this year. and Thanks for the Marriage Advice it was a Ruby ...
I think the reason why Will Smith is so successful is because he is so earnest, intelligent, open to learning and most of all super adaptable!
Will Smith is so awesome!! Even to this day i still look up to him as a role model. It's great to see him like this! Thank you Rap Radar for always coming through with the BEST INTERVIEWS!
Best interview I’ve heard in years 👏🏾👏🏾
He dropped some serious gems in this interview.... Especially in reference to his family and his "marriage". He's amazing!
Proud that this brutha is from my hometown. Undeniably epitomizes the label of the GOAT.
This is the real 🐐 if we all goin to be honest
this was the best interview I've probably ever watched
Just the two of us still plays in my car when I’m with my daughter. Classic music
Still can't come to Philly without fighting... I love it.
One of the very best interviews I've ever heard Will Smith do. Great job guys!
