2886253, The many lyrical styles of Will Smith

I'm probably just spouting shit here, but I've always thought that on occasion Will Smith switched his style in in the manner of other rappers.

Summertime = Rakim

Boom Shake The Room = LL Cool J

Code Red = Ice Cube (verse 3)

(nice Pete Rock production)


By the way, I like Will Smith. No irony. Jazzy Jeff and Fresh Prince released some absolute classics.
