Just days after a Fresh Prince throwback with DJ Jazzy Jeff, Jimmy Fallon decided to bring the show's former star -- Will Smith -- onto The Tonight Show to recreate some serious '80s magic. The pair performed a special beat box version of "It Takes Two," the 1988 hip-hop classic from Rob Base and DJ E-Z Rock.
Fallon has developed a reputation for viral late-night antics, including several duo-rap performances (most of which feature Justin Timberlake). Smith is no stranger to the show, as he previously helped out with a dance segment in 2014.
But Thursday was the first time we got an authentic rap performance from the Fallon/Smith duo (and the first time we've gotten a Will Smith concert since... forever).
Check out the results below:
We're okay with Smith leaving the rap game, because his son is apparently picking up the torch.
Jade Smith dropped This is the Album -- a three-song EP -- this week after releasing The Cool Cafe in November.
"The only way to change something is to shock it," he told The New York Times. "If you want your muscles to grow, you have to shock them. If you want society to change, you have to shock them."
As previously reported, young Smith recently joined the cast of a new HBO Show, Brothers in Atlanta. Maya Rudolph is a recurring character in the show that centers around two entertainers (played by Diallo Riddle and Bashir Salahuddin) who are struggling to kickstart their careers.
Jaden will play the pair's "rowdy, suspiciously solvent" teenage neighbor. The show, if it goes to series, will be his first major TV role.
