At a time when hip hop music was barely a decade old, a few rappers emerged to achieve greater commercial milestones than the rest of their peers, even though they were frequently at the expense of their overall artistry. Will Smith, first as the rapping half of the DJ/MC duo DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince, then as a solo star, was the most enduring of them all. He not only enjoyed a long rapping career, but also a box office-breaking, Oscar-rewarded career in Hollywood. Unfortunately, even Smith couldn't escape the ultimate ignominious fate of the pop rapper.
