• Fresh Prince Hardcore

  There's nothing like catching an episode of The Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air in the early evening. It's a reminder of a time when television didn't take itself quite so seriously, when Will Smith was still finding his acting legs and the media wasn't over saturated by hip hop culture.
  
  However, the incorporation of music in The Fresh Prince is really part of what made it such a memorable show. Smith showcased some of his own musical talent, interests and influences through the show, and managed to bring his former partner in rhyme, DJ Jazzy Jeff, into the fold as well.
  
  By now you're probably wondering, alright - what the hell does this have to do with the bastardization of Will Smith's dancing you're showing up above? Simple. It's proof that somehow, this show crossed boundaries, at least enough for some bored metalhead to see that Will Smith's insane tendency towards gyration fits even the most brutal songs. Or maybe it's just funny.
  
  Are there other characters from 90's era sitcoms that could challenge Will Smith's mastery of hardcore dancing?
