Damn, I have to let the macho behavior go for a second and admit that tears actually welled into the corner of my eyes...just couldnt help my self.

Probably one of the most emotional episodes i've seen from any sitcom...Good acting too.

My story is somewhat different.

my parents broke up when I was 3 months old.
My grand parents raised me ever since.
I would see my mom and dad from time to time.
My father married another woman and had more kids
My Mother married my step father and had my sister and brother
mom moved to america with my stepdad and left my sister with my stepdad's parents. ( brother wasn't born yet )
I would see my dad from time to time and he'd always give me money and buy groceries...he never really was there for me, but I knew he loved me and he had a new family.
I always was happy to see him though.
I remember one summer he bought me these shoes I always wanted...man i was the happiest kid in Suriname...wore the hell out of them shoes...lol.
I grew up wishing my mom was there though, dont know why...I always missed her more than him.
I didnt really live with my mom untill I was 17, that's when she send for me and my sister to come and live with her and my stepdad in America.

It was very uncomfortable, I could not express my emotions to her. coul;d not hug her for no reason..shit really affected me.
I would see my cousins joke and have fun with their mother and wish I could.
I couldnt, it's like there was something misssing.

my grand parents did a great job raising me though, because up untill I was about 5 or 6 I thought they were my real parents ( I saw my mom and dad when they would visit, but I was too young to process everything and sort it out ) thought my uncles were my brothers and all..weird shit.

to this dad I call my grand parents, pa and ma ( mom and dad in dutch ) I call my mother mom, or ma and my father papa...even when they are in the same room ( i.e my mom and grand mother ) they know who I am speaking too.

because of this my greatest fear is losing my grandmother, since she's the only woman who really knows me.

My grandfather I love to death also, but he's an alcoholic and as a child I had to stand there and watch him beat my grandmother on many occasions.

shit's weird, but made me the man I am today and I always said I would never let my daughter or son grow up without bother parents and at the very least a father.


Real talk, fam'. Props due on keepin' your head up.
 
Damn, Burger Pimp got all the good shit n there, even down 2 Degrassi & Sesame Street. I remember bein a lil kid & cryin when ol Mr' Hooper died, didnt understand death back then. Good throwback shit. 100

Powerful....that was one hell of a performance by Mr. Wil Smith at the end.

I was tellin' a homie of mine that I caught the rerun a few years back one late-afternoon/early-evening after a day's work ... just sittin' there in the zone ... in good spirits.

Waterworks.

The final few minutes were something serious. Damn.

That Wiki article overlooked quite a few very special shows,like:

Happy Days:
*that ep where al,fonzie,and some black character took part in the
civil rights movement

Roc:
*where sheila's friend gets killed in a drive-by shooting.

* The episode (which I believed featured Kelsey Grammer) where Roc is a victim of racial profiling and gets arrested.

* that "live" episode guest-starring Tommy Davidson and Debbie Morgan, whose character had a still-born baby.(another good episode :yes: )

* the one where clifton powell's character andre(the drug dealer) was introduced (tone-loc also appeared)

Moesha

* The episode where Moesha's little brother smokes pot.

* Any of the latter episodes involving Ray J as Moesha's troublemaking illegitimate brother Dorian.

The Simpsons
* Maude Flanders dying

Gimme A Break
* Joey flipping out after shooting Nell in the foot on accident
* That episode where he was wearing black face at that church performance

The Parkers

*The Martin Luther King day episode
* Chilli guest-starring as T's new love interest,whom she tells that she has HIV (lol @ the voice-over in the promo: "TLC's Chilli guest stars on a powerful all new Parkers." *emphasis on the word powerful*)

The only things powerful about that series were:

- Mo'nique's gut

- The fact that pre- and post-butt implant (after the series ended) ... shorty still doesn't have an ass.
 
Whoa..Never saw this episode

* When Tom is invited to join an organization he brings George along to the meeting. Unbeknownst to Tom, it is a KKK meeting. While yelling at George, the meeting's leader collapses and George revives him using CPR. As he is being taken to the hospital, the man's son tells him that George saved his life. The racist leader replies: "You should have let me die." (1981)

"A fresh Fresh Prince?
17/04/2007 12:00:00 AM

(KP International) Rumour has it Will Smith will be taking a break from his box office success to go on a world music tour with his old pal DJ Jazzy Jeff (real name Jeffrey A Townes).

"We always talk about doing a JJFP [Jazzy Jeff and Fresh Prince] record and a huge tour, we just have to clear the time to do it," Smith said. "Right now, the plan is we are supposed to go out on tour together at the end of this year."

The dynamic duo, who received the first ever rap Grammy, had the hit 'Parents Just Don't Understand' in 1988."

[Fresh Prince Speaks With Jazzy Jeff, Discuss Reunion Album and Tour
Addi Stewart
Published: Tuesday, May 29, 2007]


"One of hip hop's original dynamic duos, DJ Jazzy Jeff and The Fresh Prince, haven't connected creatively since 1993's Code Red album, but they are finally considering a reunion album and tour.

"We've been talking about making a record and going on tour," Jazzy Jeff tells XXLMag.com. "It's just about making a schedule. Will is pretty much one of the biggest movie stars in the world. It's really difficult because it's hard for him to just say, 'I'm going to take off two years and focus on just going on the road or just going into the studio to make a record.' [But] every time I talk to Will, he really wants to do it. We talked about possibly going on the road sometime this year and doing some stuff. His heart is there, he wants to do it.

He adds, "We're aiming for November."

DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince won the world's first Grammy Award for rap song of the year in 1989 with their catchy single, "Parents Just Don't Understand."

The hilarious hit catapulted them both onto television, (The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air), and Smith went on to star into multiple Hollywood blockbuster films though the '90s and 2000s (Independence Day, Wild Wild West, I, Robot). DJ Jazzy Jeff focused on his turntable, his audio production and his Hidden Beach record label, which released music from Jill Scott, Cornell West and others.

Jazzy Jeff and The Fresh Prince's light-hearted brand of honest Philadelphia hip-hop should provide some desperately needed comic relief to modern hip hop music."
 
Riley Freeman: Y'all niggas gay...



J/k.....thats one of my favorite emotional episodes along with Will getting shot and when Carlton took speed out of Will's locker.....Yall gotta remember this nigga Will Smith never had no acting training prior to Fresh Prince so to see this dude land big roles and Oscar nominated is crazy....

.

Word ... from the hits with JEFF to landing big blockbuster movies (and franchises like MEN IN BLACK + BAD BOYS) ... to seriously dope work like THE PURSUIT OF HAPPYNESS with one of his sons. Mad respect.

Cat's been a $20 million man with some of his roles ... and his wife is straight MILF DIMEPIECAGE.

"It wasn't THAT long ago that former break dancer Alfonso Ribeiro appeared as a teenager on "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air" with Will Smith. Okay, it was the 90's, but it seems like Alfonso turned into a very mature man overnight. He's only 35 but looks lots older than Will. Especially since now that he's single again, he's keeping company with some very young looking girls, like this one at Joseph's night club last night."
 
any young brother who grew wit a deadbeat dad felt that episode deep down i swear i almost shed a tear at the end
 
On a lighter note, the Stacey Dash, Naomi Campbell, Vivica Fox, Elise Neal/Pam Grier, Mari Marrow, Tyra Banks and Vanessa Williams episodes probably brought tears (of joy) to a few eyes.

Uncle Phil- "YOU SLEPT WITH JANICE????"
:eek:<- aunt viv
:eek:<- carlton
:eek:<- ashley
:eek:<- geoffrey
:eek:<- hilary
:D<- will
 
that was some serious acting chops on display...this from a man whose father WAS there and will basically had no life experience to draw from in that regard..

THATS acting..

I'll give props where props are due...if only more rapper/actors pulled off performances like that...

Co-sign, Geechie.

And like fam' noted earlier today ... that's coming from a cat with a background in music and essentially no real formal training in acting. Pretty damn good for a first-time lead in a series.
