All signs point to Hancock scoring a superhuman opening weekend in the next few days. So what’s Will Smith doing to celebrate, aside from crossing his fingers and hoping SAG doesn’t strike? Well, for one, he warmed a lot of old-school hip-hop fans’ hearts by reuniting with his old partner DJ Jazzy Jeff at the movie’s premiere party on Monday night. Opening DJ Mick Boogie caught part of the performance, below — two stone-cold classics, "Summertime" and "Brand New Funk," though sadly there’s no "Parents Just Don’t Understand." I gotta say, it’s great to see those guys back in action. They’ve still got real chemistry, even if their careers have taken them to very different places. (For the record, Jazzy Jeff has continued to do excellent work in hip-hop in recent years.) So what do you think? Would you buy a ticket for Will and Jeff’s rumored reunion tour this summer?

Oh I would so go to that show!
Of course I would be there!
i’d love to go if i was sure they were going to do material from their one classic “He’s the DJ, I’m the Rapper”… but I’m pretty sure they won’t do any of the best stuff from that (Parents Just Don’t Understand, Nightmare on my Street) because Will thinks he’s too mature now. I hope I’m wrong, but… we’ll see.
Get a job so you can help your parents pay for school supplies, uh, huh.
That is cool! What a treat! I enjoy that Will is still in his kick butt bespoke gray checked suit from the red carpet. Work it!
I would go to that tour. So, so much.
DJ JAZZY JEFF + FRESH PRINCE FOREVER!
Rap needs these guys, make more albums and go on tour!! C’mon Will, you can drop the movies and be financially secure for a long time!
Wow these Guys are all of that!! Come to Canada Gentlemen I will be there:)!
JAZZY, aren ya DEAD, yeat…
They were the headline act at a local radio station Christmas concert I went to in 2005. Hands-down, they are worth their ticket price. Jazzy Jeff is an amazing DJ and Will Smith gets so excited about being on stage that the energy is just infectious.
