Will Smith is an actor from Men ANd Black and Independence Day, he was also in the show Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air. In addition, he was a famous rapper from Philadelphia, and has rapped several times over the last decade. This spring he has a rap album out called Lost and Found. Today Riff Central sits down with Mr Smith and asks him about his renewed interest in his rap career.
RIFF CENTRAL: SINCE YOU ARE A RAPPER NOW, HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE YOU KILLED
WILL SMITH: ON THE MIC?
RIFF CENTRAL: FEEL FREE TO ROUND DOWN
WILL SMITH: I DON'T THINK I HAVE EVER KILLED ANYONE ACTUALLY. EXCEPT MAYBE A FEW SPACE ALIENS!
RIFF CENTRAL: ON AVERAGE, HOW MUCH HEROIN ARE YOU DOING AT THIS VERY SECOND
WILL SMITH: HEROIN IS SOMETHING I REFUSE TO DO. I HAVE A CHILD AND A WIFE, AND THEY NEED ME. BESIDES THAT, DRUGS ARE TEARING THIS COUNTRY APART. HEY, DO YOU MIND IF I SPEAK A BIT ABOUT SOMETHING THAT'S VERY IMPORTANT TO ME?
RIFF CENTRAL: ONLY IF IT'S ABOUT HITCH
WILL SMITH: IT IS ABOUT HITCH IN FACT. YOU SEE, HITCH IS A NEW FILM THAT JUST OPENED IN THEATERS EVERYWHERE. IT STARS ME, WILL SMITH, AS I TRY TO EDUCATE AMERICANS ABOUT FITNESS AND TAKING CARE OF THEMSELVES WHILE LEARNING TO HAVE SOME FUN AND RESPONSIBILITY.
RIFF CENTRAL: THAT ANSWERS SEVERAL OF MY QUESTIONS
WILL SMITH: IN ADDITION, I'D LIKE TO TAKE A SECOND TO COMMENT ON RAPPERS WHO PERPETRATE VIOLENCE UNDER THE PRETENSE OF GANGSTER PERSONAS. JUST BECAUSE
RIFF CENTRAL: YOUR MOST FAMOUS SONG IS CALLED WILD WILD WEST. IT BORROWS ELEMENTS FROM THE HUMPTY HUMP, KOOL MOE DEE'S WILD WILD WEST, AND STEVIE WONDER'S I WISH. AND THEN THERE IS YOU, WHO RUIN THE SONG
WILL SMITH: I AGREE, I WAS VERY LUCKY TO WORK WITH ALL OF THEM. ONE INTERESTING PIECE OF TRIVIA IS THAT WE ACTUALLY RECORDED THAT TRACK IN MY LOCAL PHILADELPHIA CHURCH
RIFF CENTRAL: CHURCH FOR THUGS?
WILL SMITH: NO JUST REGULAR CHURCH
RIFF CENTRAL: LET'S TALK ABOUT JAZZY JEFF. I HEAR HE LIKES TO MURDER THINGS?
WILL SMITH: THAT IS PATENTLY FALSE
