Episode 15: Will Smith Raps the Movies

Once upon a time, Will Smith was the reigning king of the 4th of July movie weekend. And to accompany these huge blockbusters, Smith brought us some of the all-time great movie raps! This week we're taking you through his entire history, from New Line Cinema attempting to squash "A Nightmare on My Street" to Smith's late-90s heyday with Men in Black and Wild Wild West, and all the way to the present with this summer's Aladdin! We've got a lot of ground to cover, so come join the party and let's get rockin'!
