I don't think that statement is true. Uncle Phil wanted to stamp that foundation of structure in Will's life. Will bringing home a friend from his home town seem like trouble repeating itself.

A TOUCH OF JAZZ.

Jazzy Jeff is a living hip hop museum !!! Thank you for the dope years of music you have given us !!!

I really don't think Uncle Phil knew the MEGA level of intelligence, talent, and drive he was repeatedly tossing out of the house. Admittedly, neither did I. But now... we all know! Thank you for this amazing interview and studio tour, Sweetwater and the truly Magnificent DJ Jazzy Jeff. What an inspiring and beautiful creative soul.

Living legend! And he can cut his own vinyl...😳😳😳..super dope!!!

Man chases his bliss and finds it. Wholesome as it gets. And as we all got older, he made it so he can just play in all our living rooms. Love this guy to death, he's always been more musically interesting than most DJs around. Three cheers for Jeff!

It really hits home when he says he's currently in a creative utopia, and I 100% believe him haha

The baddest DJ in the Land!🎶

makes me miss being back in 88-91. dj jazzy jeff and the fresh prince, ninja turtles and ghostbusters, mc hammer, magic and jordan, bean bags and nintendo. that culture was in white households, loved, and a part of my best memories i'll never forget. wish i could go back.

The baddest DJ to ever touch the 1’s and 2’s

BLACKNIFICENT!!!! Uncle Phil wouldn't throw him out of the house after seeing this. LOL!!! Bro is genius and a DJ/production GOAT!!!

SOUND IS EVERYTHING!! LONG LIVE GEARHEADS!!!!!

I don’t know much about DJ Jazzy Jeff, but in the first two minutes he’s inspired me no end.

listen to the work he did with Will Smith in the late 80s, fantastic work! He was a very good actor as well in the original fresh prince series.

JAZZY JEFF IS LIVING MY DREAM RITE NOW. GOD BLESSED YOU JEFF, AND ITS WELL DESERVED. Peace Fam.. K.N. 2023

Loved the whole video... But when you said "turning the volume up at the fade out, that's where the magic was, wanting to know what happened after the song", man that's exactly what I've always done, even as a kid. Also "it's not overkill to want the best sound anywhere I go." Love it so much.

Wow what a treat to learn how this Genius and Turntable Master lives!!

I'm a software guy, but bought some Physical sythersizors, one being Novation Peak, I like to play around with it but still actually used it in My music yet after 2 years.

I just love how he says "Im working on album with Bob James right now and I'm working on an Album with Rakim right now" so casually. Pure professional! I'm excited to hear those projects

Oh man, this is a Temple💚, Bless & Good Health 🙏🏾🌞🌍✨

Dope, Big up DJ Jazzy Jeff

og beatmaker to dj...dudes done it all

DJ Jazzy Jeff Living the life for real.

1989-1990 the first time i hear sounds from Jazzy. The love for him still there in 2023. Thanks for your music bro! God bless

He truly has everything 😄

4:13 Heart-wrenching to hear! Heart-wrenching! Man, the feeling I got inside when I heard that! I'd imagine Jazz's feeling is the same I've had just from losing a unique mixtape! Then multiply that times ten, I guess!

He’s Jazzy Jazzy‼️ His name is Jeff‼️ Dopeness OG👀🫡‼️

Jeff, I’ve been listening to you since the mid 80s. You have just reinspired me, and also gave me an excuse for my G.A.S. Crazy Props!!!

We love you jazzy Jeff You are truly great

Sweetwater does it again. Thanks Mitch Thanks Jeff. Excellent interview and very inspirational.❤

This is amazing! I love hearing stories from people who are passionate about their craft.

Worlds Greatest DJ

The stuff we own sometimes ends up owning us... I sold my entire studio to travel fun time abroad with nothing but a laptop and a midi controller. For me the ultimate plug-in is pure inspiration, humanity and fresh air.

Legendary!!!!!

What a nice glimpse of what's going on with the legendary DJ Jazzy Jeff! I absolutely love the home studio setup.

Even if you don’t like hip hop you HAVE to know and acknowledge Jazzy Jeff for he is one of the founders of a whole style of music that is still relevant today. I salute you …. Also I just want to stay in that Studio for just one night 😅

You have been blessed beyond measure

Exactly what I did took my budget and invested in my gear. Salute to dj jazzy Jeff the best to ever do it. 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥His studio is Heaven 🤷🏾‍♂️🤷🏾‍♂️

This is a great follow up to his appearance in the NYT's Legacy of J Dilla documentary film. Thanks DJ Jazzy Jeff & Sweetwater!

@DJ Jazzy Jeff is my compass to chase your passion I respect him so much when I met him at Namm you could feel the energy from this guy He's truly genuine it all makes sense now

My all time favorite Dj ever , I am a Dj myself since 1984. I sometimes try to play my sets just like you, started out on turntables and now using my Ddj 1000, my traktor scratch pro with dicers

You’re an inspiration to us all Jazz!

shout out and big thanks to the great Jazzy Jeff and Sweetwater for the great video.

Jazzy will always be my first favorite dj

Whoa, DJ Jazzy Jeff!! As a rock musician I always had TONS of respect for Jeff. His music was always unique compared to his contemporaries! He is as authentically passionate about music as anyone I have ever seen yet he is so down to earth!! Much respect!!

One of the best interviews I've watched on KZread 👏🏿👏🏿 Jazzy Jeff 👌🏿👌🏿👊🏿🖤 Greetings from Uganda 🇺🇬👊🏿🖤

DJ Jazzy Jeff is a BEAST

Much respect, old hip-hop heads unite!! ✌🏼 ❤️

LOVE YOU BROTHER JEFF ❤!!!!

Going into DJ. Jazzy Jeff's studio would literally be like a meditative walk in a serene forest trail for me. The vintage Rhodes piano is what closed to case for me. Euphoria. That studio is a producer's Disneyland. That is truly a Creative utopia. Thank you for this. P.o.p.

The most impressive studio i saw. This is too much !

One of the MOST TALENTED and Koolest Brothas in the Biz! I cut a few records on my first album at Jazzy's studio in Phila!

That intro charged me up. Real talk.

LEGEND!!!

Jazzy Jeff is Top Ten on my DJ list.

Mans living in heaven!!

This is not Jazzy Jeff...............This is A Legend.

You look good Cuzin 👍😊

That studio is magnificent. Jazz always had those beats that knock. Much respect. Big inspiration.

I could listen to Jeff all day!

A Pioneer, Legend and Icon.

Very inspirational, thanks Jeff for the tour of your amazing creative space...you have raised the bar for sure!

Love you Jazz you are an inspiration everywhere!!!!!!!

Jazzy Jeff has always seemed like the most cool dood. Hes a legend with them cuts n scratches.

Exceptionally inspirational and legendary! What an amazing journey and fantastic studio space! 😍🤯

Literally Magnificent, iLove Jazzy Jeff’s level of absorption in his soul passion… amazing , how he’s first album with The Fresh Prince had samples of Bob James, now he’s producing albums with him , great circles of connections with architects of innovators and living music legends. Soul glad he fuelled more gusto to create his own studio, and evolving sound.

Your are absolutely an inspiration and a joy to listen to. I’m blessed to be able to enjoy the wonder of Sweetwater and the amazing people that work there. Thank you for sharing your journey.

I can feel the passion, Bless Jazz for the message of finding your sound very touching

Talented, grateful, hardworking, and blessed.

Best interview I’ve seen all year … motivational

I enjoyed this episode. Informative and entertaining. Great job, Sweetwater and DJ Jazzy Jeff. Continued success to both parties.

This was amazing..Jeff is amazing..Sweetwater is amazing..

Much respect to this legend of hip-hop for standing his ground in the business! Jeff is also one of the reasons why I started DJing and producing my own music since 1994!!! I’m also a long time customer of Sweetwater since 2015!

DJ Jazzy Jeff, you and I are on the same wavelength. I'm not a musician, but I am into music and sound. I call my Internet radio station on Mixcloud "The Sound Connection" as a testament to my love of hearing recorded music as the artists intended.

He’s a real dj luv playing music making music loves gear from speakers to drum machines 🙌🏾🖤

This interview with DJ Jazzy Jeff is very inspiring. Like him Im experiencing some health issues everytime I dj in the club. Im 48. In my mind I can still DJ and play at the clubs every night by my body says no. Its really hard to let go something you really love to do and you are doing for almost half of your life. I have a DJ Store / DJ school before called KR8 Manila but I close it down because I moved here in Shanghai China but I have some friends and former students that still want to learn from me. I really want to have my own studio so I can still continue what I love to do. This interview inspired me alot.

pure inspiration thanks for this session!!

Jazzy Jeff, you spoke the words that are swirling around in my heart and mind. I too have been blessed to put out music with my son, a true joy ❤. I have shared the same words regarding finding “your sound” with him and put him on that journey.

Thanks Jeff…….. and Sweetwater

The GOAT. This was amazing. And he’s right about Sweetwater, y’all are great

This is great, thanx Sweetwater !

All I can say is, WOW 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

What a mega legend & super open dude. Awesome JPMusic

The man can get his records pressed right at home 😏🔥

The sales people at Sweetwater have totally captured the vibe of being in a music store physically

This was brilliant. So good to see behind the scenes of Jazzy Jeff’s studio and also how it came about. I’ve been there with the experience of an engineer not doing what I had told them to do and did the same thing. Started buying my own equipment to record at home. Thanks for interviewing Jazzy Jeff👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Good to see you're still around. I saw you at Curtis Hixon Park in Tampa a few years ago, great show...

SO underrated... the man is a legend and inspiring AF>

I'm a Rock Metal musician. Nothing worse than someone deleting your music. DJ Jazzy Jeff is legand. ✌️🤘🏴🇦🇺
