The Return Of The Fresh Prince: What I (And Maybe You) Want From Will Smith's Comeback Album

Will Smith, The Fresh Prince, is coming back to rap. Just let that sink in for a moment. I know I already posted about this several months ago, but seeing more news and rumors of Will Smith's comeback has really got me thinking about the possibilities. Now when you think of Will Smith and rap, you may think of his and Jazzy Jeff's "Summertime", you may think of "Welcome To Miami", or you may even think of "Gettin Jiggy With It", but based on some minor rumors buzzing about social media, we may be getting a different kind of Will Smith rap album. I'd like to detail what I'd like to see (and maybe what you'd like to see as well) from Will Smith's comeback album by expressing my thoughts, including some facts, and definitely some opinions on how Will Smith could make the most out of his planned comeback.

Now besides laughing at Meek Mill memes (which I think we've all been doing a lot of lately), Will Smith has been quite a social guy lately. He showed up to Drake's OVO Fest a couple of days ago and was very comfortable and close with Drake and Kanye backstage. What the three were talking about (besides Meek Mill) remains to be seen, but rumors on Twitter have surfaced that say Will Smith has not only been in the studio working on new music with Kanye, but with Drake as well!  Can't wait to see what these guys cook up. Now there are very few details about how Will's studio sessions with them have gone, but Will confirms working on new music below.

Will Smith also spoke about his album back in July on Jaden Smith's Beats 1 radio station, MSFTS Frequency, and also spoke about his recent studio time with Kanye West. Some quotes can be heard below from Complex.

Interesting right?  Now one last thing I have to say that would be absolutely explosive, and only fitting for Will Smith's comeback rap album would be a DJ Jazzy Jeff collaboration (oh yes, that's right, Jazzy Jeff is still producing). Or even a couple of them would be nice!  Imagine DJ Jazzy Jeff and The Fresh Prince reuniting; it's only proper for Will's return!  Plus DJ Jazzy Jeff's recent work with Philly rapper Dayne Jordan could make for a pretty cool Philadelphia inspired collaboration on Will's album. Imagine Will and Dayne trading verses, paying homage to the city of brotherly love; it'd be one for the ages. I know how far fetched all of this sounds, but I can dream, can't I?

Hearing about Will Smith wanting to get in the studio and plan a rap comeback is a dream. Many people hate the clean rap that Will usually serves up, but NOONE has hate for Will Smith. I mean, how can you hate Will Smith?  Honestly... I'll wait. You can't hate the man!  He's an entertainer's entertainer!  It will definitely be interesting to see what Will and Drake and Kanye cook up. Hopefully Kanye doesn't try to change up Will's musical style (knowing how much Kanye changes his up), but Will rapping over some Kanye beats would be magical, almost fitting. Without knowing anything about Will and Drake's possible collaboration you'd probably think that it would be the first single (knowing Drake's feature verse power), but we'll just have to wait and see what happens. The return of the Fresh Prince is coming!
