)))RETRO: DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince - Summertime(((

[Don Jesus]

Heard that this song was ghostwritten by Rakim. It has to be true since Will Smith is definitely imitating his flow on it. He doesn't even usually rap like this.

If Rakim had kept this for himself it would have easily been his biggest song, just like "It Was A Good Day" was Ice Cube's biggest hit.

This has been refuted by Jazzy Jeff himself. He said point blank that Will wrote the song himself and that he instructed Will to rhyme slower than what he usually would.
