PSA of the Day: It’s been an entire decade since Will Smith has recorded a title rap for one of his movies, and it seemed like Men in Black III would be the perfect opportunity for the Fresh Prince/galaxy defender to step to the mic one more time.
So, the producers of the movie did the logical thing … they hired Pitbull?!
The folks at Sneaky Zebra are understandably not nodding their heads about this state of affairs.

My arm is dedicated to my childhood. Shel Silverstein was and continues to be one of my biggest literary influences. I chose the illustration from “Falling Up” and the second verse from “Where the Sidewalk Ends”, two of my favorites.

A little backstory to this clip before you watch it:
Will Smith’s father abandoned him and his mother when he was a child, and when Will was finally getting into show business and making a name for himself, he tried to sneak his way back into his life like nothing happened. Will co-wrote this episode, and James Avery (Uncle Phil) said “this scene was the hardest thing I’ve ever had to shoot in my life. Every emotion, every word.. that was Will”
Will was actually supposed to play it off and then walk away, and there was originally an alternate scene that was supposed to happen, but he actually completely cut out what was supposed to be said, and did all of his own dialogue. The hug at the end of this scene is completely genuine, and this was a stepping stone in Will’s career where he started to take on the “do what feels, sounds, and looks right” approach to his acting.
All the feelings.
Crying. Just crying.
