Will Smith

Will Smith began his entertainment career as the MC of the hip-hop duo DJ Jazzy Jeff & the Fresh Prince. The duo won the first-ever Grammy Award for Best Rap Performance in 1989 for their hit song Parents Just Don't Understand.
Will then transitioned into television, starring in the sitcom The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. The breakout role launched Will into becoming one of the highest-grossing actors in Hollywood, with numerous blockbuster hits to his credit: Men in Black (and its sequels), Independence Day, Bad Boys, I, Robot, Hitch, and Hancock, to list a few.

[@itswazowski]

every episode is such a gem, rick rubin is the greatest host

[@NoahFarber]

Yeah how is this so small wtf

[@christopher-miles]

it's a slap to the face how low small this channel is.

[@NoahFarber]

@@christopher-miles I know it's still baffling me I don't understand

[@desmondcole5605]

I just found this 4 months later and I’M SHOCKED… crazy how much video plays a role in UA-cam

[@maxie42]

Hey Rick just wanted to say your book changed my life a few months ago, you got me out of depression and saved me years of difficult times in the next years. Thank you.

@@cciv6100 Who asked for your negativity and pessimistic opinion? Try lifting people up instead of bringing them down. If it’s the case for you doesn’t mean it’s the case for everybody

[@blyatoslav4224]

That's great! I wish you the best 😉

I listened to this episode closely because of the incident at the Oscars. I can relate to Will because I also grew up and lived in Philadelphia and had an abusive father - and I also lacked the tools to show restraint, which I promptly remedied by a ten-year in-deprh study of psychology and Jungian analysis to understand where I was. I also left Philadelphia, which improved my life in many ways.
I can hear in Will’s voice a kind of resistance to the gravity of his trauma, and perhaps the unreal experience of his Hollywood success. Rick and will discussed the Oscar incident in a gracefully deflective yet honest volley of call-and-answer style broaching of the subject of negative, overwhelming life experiences and ways to heal in their wake.
What a very caring and respectful thing to do for Will, because people do make mistakes, and Will Smith has done a lot of really good things.
Like in the Level 42 song; we all have our daddy’s eyes, and sooner or later the trauma catches up with all of us, no matter how much we’ve achieved in life.
Good on you, Rick. That was a wonderful interview.

2k views in 2 months? This deserves WAY more love than that. Amazing interview. Love what you're doing Rick 🙏

I’ve got a lot of catching up on this new Rick Rubin channel. This Will Smith interview is a great representation of Rick’s long form discussion and the reason he will land high profile interviews. The quality of his question prompts and interaction is outstanding. I held on patiently in hopes of a discussion about Emancipation, which I’ve watched several times now. I thought… ‘this may be one of Will’s best performances ever,’ but then I was reminded of how many times I’ve had the same thought after each seminal performance.

This is the injection that we need. The world’s nervous system benefits from this beauty. Thank you.

[@joannabreaks435]

It is nice to hear Will talking so openly and freely without the interviewer reaching for scandal or sensationalism with every question.

[@CosmicMage]

I love Will!! We need more Will in the world!

[@criticaldatabeats]

Very well done podcast Rick. Thanks.

[@marcfrattarelli8495]

What an unbelievable conversation. Never knew I wanted this, but I guess that goes for every vid on this channel.

[@SeeYuhhh]

Love these!

[@Saint_Svadhisthana_Sahasrara_1]
