DJ Jazzy Jeff and The Fresh Prince: Summertime

“Drums please!”

Ah, 1991. This was back when Will Smith was just a rapper and wasn’t secretly a member of the Church of Scientology. (With a school teaching Study-Tech) Most of his songs were light-heart and funny, but still written extremely well. This song ended up being a huge hit for Jazzy Jeff and Will Smith.

I personally still enjoy listening to the song, and “Summertime” is probably my favorite song released by them. It’s makes good use of Kool & The Gang’s song “Summer Madness”. DJ Jazzy Jeff took the Summer Madness baseline and instrumentation and sped them up. Will Smith’s smooth poetic flow fits with Jazzy Jeff’s beat.

I remember having the single and listening to all the various remixes. Here are a few remixes to listen to.

Will Smith does the song Acapella: I got a kick out of this one.

Summertime (Jazzy Jeff's Mix): The actual vocals are more restrained. Jazzy Jeff added scratching in this version. It is more laid back than the original version. I really like this version probably the best from the official remixes.

Summertime (Hybrid Remix):

Summertime (Promo Only?): This version uses more of "Summer Madness" from Kool & the Gang. I remember hearing this version way back in the day.

Summertime 98 [Soulpower mix]: I think this remix is pretty good too. The background beat is really catchy. They changed the female vocals to different positions in this version.

Summertime (Soul Train): I looked everywhere for Heather Hunter. She used to be a Soul Train dancer before becoming an Adult Star.

Superfast! Johnson smells what your are cooking.

  I don't like this movie, but this character and all his scenes are freaking funny.  He sums up The Rock between 2005 and 2020.  Dewayne Johnson helped make the FF franchise better, but you have to make fun of him, too.  He comes in as if he's in another movie.   I love the baby oil on the arms joke.  It gets even creepier now due to P Diddy loving baby oil.   This guy is named  Dio Johnson !  He has the same last name as Dwayne Johnson, the person he is making fun of.  And, his character name in this movie is Detective Johnson.  Triple meta.   I checked, and Dio and Dwayne are not related.  They just look similar.

Riley Reid and Melissa Moore Almost Twins, but not

Image
Riley Reid and Melissa Moore Almost Twins, but not I've been a huge fan of Riley Reid for a long time. She literally looks like one of those girls-next-door. She's so damn cute and tiny that you would likely see her working in the mall instead of doing hardcore porn. However, she is a pornstar.   I have NEVER wanted a doughnut more than now.  Damn.     I was checking out a video and noticed Riley in a video and I thought, “Did Riley Reid get a boob-job?” Please, tell me she didn't get one. That was her thing, being small framed. After taking a closer look, I realized the woman looking much like Riley Reid wasn't her at all, but another pornstar completely. Melissa Moore ... See, it is uncanny how much these two ladies look alike. Of course, these two girls had to do a movie together. I think MM is cute too, but I see her being a modified clone of my girl RR. And, I wouldn't kick her out of my bed either. Hell, I wouldn'...

One crazy car chase...

Image
  So, this chase involves a cat, two methheads, a college student, a ride-along, and carjacking.  This is freaking nuts.  They live in their car, their home, and proceed to destroy it in the chase.  It looks like the driver has been in numerous car chases, the way he blocks and boxes out the cops to stop the pit maneuvers.    Later in the chase, they both start throwing shit out the window and then begin to smoke meth during the chase.  Priorities, right?  The couple of cops get spiked, and they end up in a different jurisdiction.  The chase is called off, but the couple then carjacks a Karen, and the chase is on again.   By the way, this video has over 4 million views.
