Oblivious to some but known to many, Will Smith has a career timeline that requires two flips of a coin. Hence, before one acknowledges Smith’s jetting history of the television and cinematic landscape, one has to keep track of his musical mastermind that revolutionized the hip-hop universe from the late 1980s to the 90s. As much as the weight of the Smith name reminds one of the golden days of the 90s hip-hop epoch, it also takes the world back to the iconic American duo from West Philadelphia of him and DJ Jazzy Jeff. 

From what it seems, the pair decided to jerk up the old memories in a recent reunion to serve a piece of nostalgia to fans from Smith’s social.

The iconic Grammy-winning pair of the 90s, Will Smith and DJ Jazzy Jeff, is still going strong with their friendship and the level of humor exchange attests greatly to it. While many a time Will Smith’s witty social media posts have wrapped up the audience in a score of laughter, his recent share with DJ Jazzy Jeff has given fans a moment of relatability unexpectedly. The now-deleted “dope” picture in question was set in a monochromatic tone featuring his longtime pal DJ Jazzy Jeff, Omarr Rambert, and Jaden Smith.

The Hancock actor even put up a quirky caption to tease his old friend saying Behind every dope photo is @djjazzyjeff just tryna get thru the day!”. Although the snap only displayed Jeff posing with a victory sign beside Jaden Smith, his expression clearly shows what the senior Smith has been talking about. However, knowing his comical take on everything, one can vouch for the fact that behind every dope photo is Will Smith’s comic sense, trying to make the day livelier.
