*Will Smith is allegedly planning to revive his hip-hop career.
According to an insider, Smith is plotting his comeback after being blacklisted for slapping Chris Rock at the 2022 Academy Awards.
“Heck, in the rap world, slapping a guy across the face for dissing his wife isn’t seen as a crime, it’s a badge of honor,” an insider told the National Enquirer, RadarOnline reports. “No one holds it against him and it makes Will feel that is where he can make his comeback.”
Smith recently launched a new podcast called “Class of ’88,” which unpacks groundbreaking rap artists of that era.
“Will’s changed a lot since the old days,” said a close pal of Smith, per Radar. “He could go a little harder with his content now that he’s been kicked in the teeth!”
Wondery and Audible released all episodes of their new limited audio series “Class of ‘88” on October 26, available on Amazon Music and Audible. The podcast is hosted by Smith and “takes a celebratory look back at the year that defined the global cultural phenomenon of hip-hop,” per the news release.
“Listeners become immersed in this landmark year for music through in-depth, hilarious, and emotional interviews with the artists that helped define the genre, including Queen Latifah, Salt-N-Pepa, Darryl ‘DMC’ McDaniels, Rakim, Fab 5 Freddy, DJ Jazzy Jeff, Chuck D, J.J. Fad, and DJ Red Alert,” the release continues.
“Class of ‘88” is available exclusively on Amazon Music and Audible. Prime members can listen ad-free on Amazon Music.
Through Smith’s unique perspective and personal experiences, “Class of ’88 reveals the milestone moments, albums, and artists that inspired a sonic evolution and secured 1988 as hip-hop’s most important year,” per the series description.
