In this 2023 backstage clip connected to CBS’ “A GRAMMY Salute to 50 Years of Hip-Hop,” Will Smith (@WillSmith2real) reflects on the story behind “Summertime,” including the long-discussed influence of Rakim’s (@OfficialRakim) vocal style on the record.
This moment gives context for how a relaxed 1991 summer anthem also carried a deeper Hip-Hop lineage conversation beneath a record that earned DJ Jazzy Jeff (@djjazzyjeff215) & The Fresh Prince the 1992 Grammy Award for Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group.
Jerk Villa Restaurant on 79th Street has a metal detector as soon as you walk in. A security guard tells you to empty your pockets and place everything in a plastic bin.
Their food must be really good if people are willing to go through all that.
Would you give this restaurant a try?

Homosexuality has been around for Centuries! In slavery the term “Buck Breaking” was the practice of using sexual violence & punishment for the slave men!
Once a plantation owner violates the Black man he then turned around & used it as a way to Control the slave!! Before the slave was Sold off he would Sagg his pants to let the next Master know that the slave had already been broken in! This went on for Centuries! Once the slave was introduced to the Penitentiary’s & Jail houses the Warden would already know who was Buck Broken from the “SAGGIN”of the pants!! Some of the Jail wardens were Homosexual’s as well!
“SAGGIN” is the derived from the (N) word Spelled Backwards!
Many of Today’s Youths doesn’t fully understand the term “SAGGIN” but for those who does, they know that Saggin is an Invitation or an Expression that Hey I’m available!!
Moral lesson: don't copy everything you see.
