"And The Beat Goes On" - The Whispers and "Conga" - Gloria Estefan for the last bit... amazing songs... sampled by Will for this, just like he sampled "Summer Madness" - Kool & The Gang for Summertime... and "Forget Me Nots" - Patrice Rushen for Men in Black.. he had a good ear for taking some of the most popular R&B and making popular rap songs
Will Smith is kind of like bubble gum rap compared to a lot of the artists out there, but bubble gum is still good from time to time. He does a lot of fun songs and catchy tunes that stick in your head. For this song, he sampled the 70s song "And the Beat Goes On" from The Whispers.
This was the first music video that cost 1Million to make. It was so hyped that when it first came on, half of America was watching it. How could you not move this to this? Awesome! Congrats on the 200k!
Nas wrote this Song. At the Time Will was very busy with movies and Stuff. Bit he still wanted to drop a Album. So he hooked up with Nas and got a few songs from him
You should check out Miami Sound machine (Gloria Estefan). That's most of the sample of the second half. They have tons of hits. "Rhythm is Gonna Get Ya" is my favorite.
I never heard this song with the switch up in this video. I like the version where he keeps the original flow throughout the whole song. Definitely a dance party favorite!
World needs more Will Smith. He focuses on positives. Has the hype beats and tries to unify the cause! I don't mind him taking the non gangsta route when the songs are fire! Will Smith - Freakin' It is a massive good mood song that you don't want to miss!
Great react as always Jay, Will smith sure is a multitalent, like Jamie Foxx. Will Smith & DJ Jazzy Jeff - The brand new funk, is rifunkulous and worth a listen, on or off camera.
Will Smith has swag for days. The first thing I heard from him was "parents just dont understand" and I was super young, so it was accessible rap for my age.
You are welcome here Jay. Come on down. Unfortunately we always crowded. I always tell people we are closed. Spanish Lesson- Bienvenido= Welcome. Mira= look.
So now listen to "Gettin' Jiggy Wit It" :) Btw, next year a Miami Vice community is planning a Miami Vice party. Can't wait to go back to South Beach! ;)
The middle of the song is not the original song ! Lol the normal song does not have that weird fast part in the middle. It’s just for the video....also next listen to the song “men in black”
I have said it for a minute even though his lyrics and content isn't always the deepest or hardest hitting compared to others, his flow and cadence is as smooth and good as anybody.
Listen to this song: David and Jonathan - Something's Gotten Hold of My Heart. It’s original, but it has a bunch of great covers. The most famous version is from Gene Pitney and Marc Almond from 1989. An even better solo version is Gene Pitney from 1967. There are a few more great covers from Allison Durbin, Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, Episode Six ... it's hard to decide which version is better.
I recently discovered your channel and already watched so many of your videos. It is so refreshing to see someone enjoy music with such great enthusiasm and open-mindedness. Your reactions are so genuine and you somehow manage to grasp the essence of a song within seconds. Truly amazing! Keep up your passion for music! Greetings from Germany
"Will 2K ft. K-Ci" is another song from Will Smith that I've loved since my teens. It came out in 1999 for the new Millennium and has such a fun music video - makes you want to dance!
Will Smith and DJ Jazzy Jeff made music before both became actors in "The Fresh Prince" ... The album "Rock The House" was released back in 1987 - so 3 years before the show started! :-) After the show he made music again ... that's cool! :-) [Men in Black is a must-have!]
Public disclaimer 😉 I’m a middle aged white chic from the Midwest-Lol Will Smith is such a fun to listen to voice with entertaining lyrics and a fun beat. I miss him dearly. Not the most hip rapper or life altering music, but when I hear his music, I am filled with great memories and I always find myself in a better mood by the end of the song. I call that a damn good artist. Feeling good while listening is what music should do for you.
I like it when he says “mira, this is the plan”. Mira is look in Spanish. So he’s saying “look this is the plan” which as a Spanish speaker I thought was cool. The video shows you how diverse Miami really is! And that dancing at the end, man I would love to dance with Will! And in the beginning of the video when he says “Welcome to Miami” and the girls say “Bienvenidos a Miami” the girl driving is Eva Mendes. I believe they made a movie together??? Anyway I loved your reaction.
This song was HUGE! Even in Britain 🇬🇧 haha 🤣 He stopped rapping because he couldn’t be mainstream AND shake off the cheesiness to go anywhere real. To get REAL RESPECT as a rapper. He was HUGE but at family parties, you would have the little kids, me back then, dancing with their mum dad grandparents, aunts, uncles EVERYONE! Haha 🤣 He just COULDN’T be seen by the public as anything other than that funny guy! Tbh he was the closest thing we had back then to a Tekashi 6ix9ine! That’s how unserious people took him!
No lie, I just watched this video yesterday and then searched your channel to make sure I hadn't missed your reaction to this! I guess I was just a few hours too early but I'm happy and surprised this video was in my notifications this morning! Sidenote: I get this song stuck in my head randomly all the time.
This one of my favorite songs of his. I've never seen the video or this two rhythm version. This song really made me appreciate beautiful women of all races :) They are all wonderful in their own ways :)
For a relatively more recent track, check out "Switch" from around 2005 - definitely a fun song. But also agree with everyone saying go back to the 90s for "Men in Black" and further back for baby Will doing "Parents Just Don't Understand"!
Yeah, Will was (is?) a big lover of Latin culture and especially the music. He was actually very determined to learn Spanish years ago and he was doing very well with it back then, though I don't know if he's kept up with it. This was another of his 90's hits. I know he's still doing music though. He recorded something not too long ago with his wife, though I can't remember the name of the song off the top of my head. 😅
Will Smith always entertaining. Rap that everyone can like. Thanks Jay. How about playing some Swing out Sister. songs like "Break Out" and "Am I The Same Girl".
Will Smith - Men in black is also one heck of a jam! He was on fire in the 90's
Yes men in black
"Black Suits Comin' (Nod Ya Head)" is also heat, and lets not forget about "Switch"
“Men is Black” is just a heavily sampled song of Patrice Rushen’s song “Forget Me Nots”
@@vegasbaby3669 perfect . Play it next jay!
"And The Beat Goes On" - The Whispers and "Conga" - Gloria Estefan for the last bit... amazing songs... sampled by Will for this, just like he sampled "Summer Madness" - Kool & The Gang for Summertime... and "Forget Me Nots" - Patrice Rushen for Men in Black.. he had a good ear for taking some of the most popular R&B and making popular rap songs
Don't forget Sir Duke by Stevie Wonder for Wild Wild West
Yeah... he’s good at “borrowing” others’ beats.
will sampled kool and the gang and bobby caldwell for Tatyana's boy you knock me out song too
I heard "You'll Be Mine (Party Time)" from Gloria, but I didn't hear "Conga." Did I miss it?
"Get jiggy wit" sampled "Sisters Sledger - He's the greatest dancer" ... 😍🎧🎶👊
Eva Mendes is in this video, before she became a huge star. First in the car and then I believe some dance scenes with Will.
I thought that looked like her!
Yep and then later they did the movie Hitch together
The Whispers- And The Beat Goes On! That's the beat.
I love his songs “Gettin’ Jiggy with It” and “Boom! Shake the Room”! 😊
You’d love “Parents Just Don’t Understand” 🙂
But your kids are gonna love it.
OMG I loved that song, too funny
I remember my teacher in middle school told me about his experience with Miami. He said that every part of Miami looks like the wrong side of town.
Will Smith is very talented, singing, acting. He is always entertaining.
'and the beat goes on' is the sample
He has literally done it all. And done it all well.
The samples are from The Whispers “And The Beat Goes On” and then Gloria Estefan “Conga” in
I forgot how happy Will Smith makes me feel! 😎
You should see his “Wild Wild West” from the movie of the same name, and joined by Sisqo and Dru Hill.
Just don't bother with the actual movie....
The video was better than the movie
Welcome to "WillyStyle" !!⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽🕺🏽🕺🏽🕺🏽🕺🏽🕺🏽🕺🏽
It was sampled from the Whispers, And the Beat Goes On. React to this song next.
It's funny to see Eva Mendes in a small role in this and ended up being his love interest in Hitch
You would love Men in Black!! I mean who doesn’t love it?? It’s funky. Love it!!
Yup
And "Wild Wild West"
From Will you need to listen to “Wild Wild West”, “Will2k”, “Switch”.
DJ Jazzy Jeff and The Fresh Prince - “Brand New Funk”. It’s old school 1988 Will Smith, and sounds good!
Will Smith is kind of like bubble gum rap compared to a lot of the artists out there, but bubble gum is still good from time to time. He does a lot of fun songs and catchy tunes that stick in your head. For this song, he sampled the 70s song "And the Beat Goes On" from The Whispers.
I feel the same... Just nice to play something that feels good, makes u smile.. U know 😉
This was the first music video that cost 1Million to make. It was so hyped that when it first came on, half of America was watching it. How could you not move this to this? Awesome! Congrats on the 200k!
Damn a mill? Nowadays with the technology we have we can make videos like this for a couple thousands or less haha
Nas wrote this Song. At the Time Will was very busy with movies and Stuff. Bit he still wanted to drop a Album. So he hooked up with Nas and got a few songs from him
I began listening to Will Smith late 80s. He always have the great jams to his tunes.
Yes, Will was the Prince of Summer Break! He'd drop his cds right on time for the kids vacations from school. He's no fool.
Check out "parents just don't understand" by the Fresh Prince and Dj Jazzy Jeff
Grats on 200k subs! You seem like a genuinely nice, wholesome guy and your reactions just feel natural. You deserve the subs.
You should check out Miami Sound machine (Gloria Estefan). That's most of the sample of the second half. They have tons of hits. "Rhythm is Gonna Get Ya" is my favorite.
I never heard this song with the switch up in this video. I like the version where he keeps the original flow throughout the whole song. Definitely a dance party favorite!
“Switch” by Will Smith (beat is awesome!) 🙂
The radio version didn’t have the change up at the end. I believe that was just for the video
Will and I are the same generation. He's one of my favorite humans.
World needs more Will Smith. He focuses on positives. Has the hype beats and tries to unify the cause! I don't mind him taking the non gangsta route when the songs are fire! Will Smith - Freakin' It is a massive good mood song that you don't want to miss!
This aged well
I want it to be summer now! ☀️
Visit Miami. It's a beautiful city.
Be careful though, the Florida motto is "go on vacation, leave on probation ".
From Europe, Germany? 🤷 With U-Boot?
''Wide Wide West'' is a good one too, and the two song from Men In Black too
Whispers “Chocolate Girl “ and “ SayYes “
Great react as always Jay, Will smith sure is a multitalent, like Jamie Foxx.
Will Smith & DJ Jazzy Jeff - The brand new funk, is rifunkulous and worth a listen, on or off camera.
Will wasn't lying! Miami is definitely a HOT city! Beautiful people and just so much fun!
Will Smith has swag for days. The first thing I heard from him was "parents just dont understand" and I was super young, so it was accessible rap for my age.
You are welcome here Jay. Come on down. Unfortunately we always crowded. I always tell people we are closed. Spanish Lesson- Bienvenido= Welcome. Mira= look.
The first few seconds of the video shows a cold winter's day in Philadelphia. He had to set the scene to show what he was escaping from.
The Whispers "and the beat goes on". Written by young Babyface...Will did a good tribute..
I Love Will Smith's Music 🎶🎵💛💖
So now listen to "Gettin' Jiggy Wit It" :)
Btw, next year a Miami Vice community is planning a Miami Vice party. Can't wait to go back to South Beach! ;)
“Party Time” by Gloria Estefan... check it out! She’s from Miami, it’ll all make sense!
Yesssssssss.... such a great fun song. He is fun!!! Older song.. disco... And The Beat Goes On.
Babyface - Whip Appeal
Please check out the group Basement Jaxx . "Oh My Gosh", "Romeo" for example. :)
And the Beat Goes On by the Whispers is the sample. You should react to it. It’s a classic.
The middle of the song is not the original song ! Lol the normal song does not have that weird fast part in the middle. It’s just for the video....also next listen to the song “men in black”
WILD WILD WEST AND MEN IN BLACK ARE THE 2 OTHER HITS BY WILL SMITH JAYVEE...🎵🎧🎶
TWO WILL SMITH SONGS YOU NEED TO CHECKOUT:
Will Smith - Boom! Shake The Room!
Will Smith - I Wish I Made That/Swagga
I have said it for a minute even though his lyrics and content isn't always the deepest or hardest hitting compared to others, his flow and cadence is as smooth and good as anybody.
Will Smith is a bloody legend when it comes to hip hop, you have to do Boom shake the room by Will Smith. You will not regret it. Love your channel
That's is a sample of "And The Beat Goes On" by The Whispers released in 1979! This is one of Will's best.
There’s a fantastic song by Maria McKee called show me heaven, think you’ll like that one 🔥🔥🔥
Listen to this song:
David and Jonathan - Something's Gotten Hold of My Heart. It’s original, but it has a bunch of great covers.
The most famous version is from Gene Pitney and Marc Almond from 1989. An even better solo version is Gene Pitney from 1967.
There are a few more great covers from Allison Durbin, Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, Episode Six ... it's hard to decide which version is better.
Will Smith is my role model
The sample is from And The Beat Goes On. I think you might have reacted to already but if you want disco you HAVE to move to, that's the song.
I recently discovered your channel and already watched so many of your videos. It is so refreshing to see someone enjoy music with such great enthusiasm and open-mindedness. Your reactions are so genuine and you somehow manage to grasp the essence of a song within seconds. Truly amazing!
Keep up your passion for music!
Greetings from Germany
Gotta do Brand New Funk by DJ Jazzy Jeff & Fresh Prince now.

After the show he made music again ... that's cool! :-) [Men in Black is a must-have!]
Public disclaimer 😉 I’m a middle aged white chic from the Midwest-Lol

I love how he's a great rapper, crazy smooth and still manages to be respectful without any foul language (am I old-fashioned for thinking that...?)
Hey sweetie, Will is an all around artist, love him...Thanks, Peace
How about Wu Tang Clan- Gravel Pit.
Or Pras, ODB and Mya- Ghetto Superstar. RIP ODB.
This song was HUGE! Even in Britain 🇬🇧 haha 🤣
He stopped rapping because he couldn’t be mainstream AND shake off the cheesiness to go anywhere real. To get REAL RESPECT as a rapper. He was HUGE but at family parties, you would have the little kids, me back then, dancing with their mum dad grandparents, aunts, uncles EVERYONE!

Love the transitions on this video... Director... 10 points 🙋🏾♀️
And the Beat Goes on by the Whispers. It was the JAM back in the day. We danced the hustle to this all day every day! ❤️
The album version doesn't end like that. The ending was made specifically for the music video.
And the beat goes on by the Whispers is the track sampled. Check It's a love thing by them excellent 😊
Congrats on getting 200k subscribers!
The beat is from the Whispers "The beat goes on" .
People don't notice that his rap name was Fresh Prince before he even learn to act. But when he started back he used Will Smith.
Will Smith sampled a lot during this time, another good one to react to is “Will2K” millennium 🔥👍
"And the Beat goes on!" is the song Will's using
The beat is from The Whispers "As The Beat Goes On"
I know a 2 hours Concert in Miami. All best Songs. Saw him and His whole family with a half hour Concert in Berlin, Premiere I Robot.
No lie, I just watched this video yesterday and then searched your channel to make sure I hadn't missed your reaction to this! I guess I was just a few hours too early but I'm happy and surprised this video was in my notifications this morning!
Sidenote: I get this song stuck in my head randomly all the time.
He also made a video for men in black😉
You said it right! I'm waiting for 20 years now for him to make more fantastic tunes like that! ^^
That is from The Whispers "And The Beat Goes On"
This one of my favorite songs of his. I've never seen the video or this two rhythm version. This song really made me appreciate beautiful women of all races :) They are all wonderful in their own ways :)
Check out Brand new funk by Will Smith-this tells how he started rapping
The song is ‘ And the beat goes on’
Fresh Prince and Dj Jazzy Jeff- Brand new funk
For a relatively more recent track, check out "Switch" from around 2005 - definitely a fun song. But also agree with everyone saying go back to the 90s for "Men in Black" and further back for baby Will doing "Parents Just Don't Understand"!
This was my jam back when I was a kid in the 90s! Please react to Will Smith - Part starter. Will get you jumping in your seat
Yeah, Will was (is?) a big lover of Latin culture and especially the music. He was actually very determined to learn Spanish years ago and he was doing very well with it back then, though I don't know if he's kept up with it. This was another of his 90's hits.

Will Smith always entertaining. Rap that everyone can like. Thanks Jay. How about playing some Swing out Sister. songs like "Break Out" and "Am I The Same Girl".
'Summertime' His greatest summer track in My opinion you should check it!
From the “The Beat Goes On” by the Whispers.
