’80s reunions are pretty much the new neon — first there’s the announcement of the re-emancipation of NKOTB. And now — drop those bell-bottom Brady Bunch trousers and double-knit reversible slacks, because it’s looking more likely that a long-awaited revival of DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince may (finally) be a reality.
A DJ Jazzy Jeff & the Fresh Prince reunion has been rumored for years — decades, even. But with MC-turned-megastar the Fresh Prince’s movie, Hancock, nearing its July 2008 release date, might DJ Jazzy Jeff be dusting off his 1s and 2s to join Will for a “summertime” revival?
No tour dates have been announced, but we’ll have our Adidas and Jams at the ready, just in case.
Watch the pioneering, classic, and endearingly low-budge video, “Parents Just Don’t Understand.” (And peep the sweet Porsche “car phone!”) The single won them the first-ever Best Rap Performance Grammy in 1989, but Will Smith and Jeff didn’t attend the Grammys that year. See why in a vintage Yo! MTV Raps clip.
