Education Smith was admitted to a "pre-engineering program" at MIT though he never applied According to Smith, "My mother, who worked for the School Board of Philadelphia, had a friend who was the admissions officer at MIT. I had pretty high SAT scores and they needed black kids, so I probably could have gotten in. But I had no intention of going to college."

Rap & Hip Hop Music Grew out of the south Bronx in New York City during the 1970’s “Hip Hop” is a lifestyle encompassing music, lifestyle, and art. Originally reflected aspects of life in the black urban inner-city. “Rap” refers specifically to the art of rhythmically declaiming rhymed lyrics over a background of music that is either a straight cover of another popular song or a mixed collage of sound

Rap & Hip Hop for Broader Audiences Marked by the 1979 release of “Rapper’s Delight” by the Sugarhill Gang The first major leap came in the mid-1980’s propelled by Run-D.M.C. Hip Hop has managed to effectively transform rock music and is now an important part of it’s tradition

Early Work Smith started as the MC of the hip-hop duo DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince The Duo became a trio when they added Clarence “Ready Rock C” Holmes The trio was known for humorous “radio-friendly” songs In 1989 they were awarded the first Grammy Award for Best Rap Performance, for their song "Parents Just Don't Understand"

Early Lifestyle He was a millionaire before the age of 20. Spent lavishly and underpaid his taxes. Smith and his buddies once got Gucci to close the store so they could enjoy a private shopping spree.

Smith was nearly bankrupt when he was approached with The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air which launched his acting career.
