Will Smith as far as mainstream but Martin had black america locked.

Nah I'm saying I'll let someone who was 2 years old at the time act like they know

It was about even till Martin went on SNL. Then Will got Independence Day and it was a wrap

 

[Nintendough]

Martin was bigger in the black community. Will had the mainstream though.

 

[Canada Goose]

Will:

Fresh Prince
Independence Day
Men in Black
Emeny of the state

Plus Will was a rapper.

ID4 straightshotted Will to superstar status. It's crazy I'm old enough to remember watching as he went from rapper to Hollywood megastar.
