In West Philadelphia, born and raised, Will Smif is an "African American" singer, actor, and former Prince of Bel-Air. He began his career as one of the most hardcore and explicit rappers of all time, until he landed a gig on a hit TV show, and quickly cashed in his street cred for white wiminz and blow. As more and more reruns of Fresh Prince were reposted on American family television networks, he became increasingly marketed towards white audiences, to the point where Al JolsonEminem could be considered more black. He now spends his time pretending to be a serious actor, despite the fact that you can't even look at him without thinking of the fresh prince.
