Daniel Robertson P.5 English in my litf,I have had many idols-From Eliot S mith to Ben Folds, they have never been scarce in number. However, I am taking this time to dedicate my paragraph to the one person who has changed my life greatly- Will Smith. Willard Christopher Smith, Jr was born and raised in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Beause of his idcbehavior, he had gained himself the nickname Fresh Prince in high shoool, where he ended his oschooling career. After skipping college, Will Smith recorded many rap albums, where he started off his rap carreer, eaning the first grammy ever given in the rap catagory. However, it was not to be. Heading twords bankruptsy in the year of 1990, Will Smith made a contract with NBC, agreeing to be the main character of a new-wave TV sitcom, titled The Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air. The show revolved around the misadventures of a black character, aptly named Wil (after Will Smith), and featured an opening song written and preformed by Will Smith. The show was well known for it's reaccuring gags and ability to break the fourth wall successfully. The show was a hit, and successfully boosted Smith's career. After The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air ended in 1996, Smith began a successful solo music career while simultaneously starring in a series of films. The first two filims were hugely successful summer blockbusters: Independence Day, in which he played a fearless and confident fighter pilot, and Men in Black where he played the comic and confident Agent J against Tommy Lee Jones's deadpan Agent K Smith's acting in Men in Black yon critical praise) The two flims established Smith's commercial reputation as a bankable star whose appeal across age, race, and gender lines could "open" a fim at the box office) Smith also released a string of hit singles, often associated with his most recent film, throughout the late 1990s. The most notable of these were his #1 hit theme song "Men in Black." the #1 hit-Gettin' Jiggy VW It" (which made iggy a catchphrase for a while in 1998) and a cover of Just the Two of Us,' an affectionate message to his young eon His s went platinum, but his third, on Columbia Records, was a sales disappointment first two compared to his past efforts, and after a quick Greatest Hits release that was almost not advertised at all, he was dropped by the label. It was then that his mom got scared and said "You're moving with your auntie and your uncle in Bel-Air." I whistled for a cab and when it came near the licensplate said fresh and had a dice in the mitror. It anvthing Icould say that this cab was rare but i thought 'naw forget it, yo homes to Bel ir Ipulled up to arhouse atbout seven-or eight and Iyelled to the cabby "yo.homes smell you later ooked at my kingdom, I was finally there-to sit on my throne as the prince of Bel-Air 込NOT
