The Fresh Prince has still got it!
Will Smith recently surprised a Las Vegas crowd with a live rendition of the 1991 hit "Summertime."
According to TMZ, the veteran rhymer turned actor shocked everyone Friday (Aug. 15) when he showed up at the Ditch Fridays ritual at The Palms.
He was reportedly there to support his son Trey who was DJing the event alongside Jazzy Jeff.
In the clip, Smith can be seen grooving while rapping the track bar for bar. He even offered up a little eye candy for the ladies removing his shirt.
Following the performance, rode the pony as he sang "Jump on It."

Since it's release over 20 years ago, "Summertime" still remains a fan favorite. The track snagged a Grammy back in 1992 for Best Rap Performance By A Duo or Group.
More recently, the song was featured in a Wal-Mart commercial.
"It was very organic," DJ Jazzy Jeff said of the song in a previous interview with Biography. "We did the song and we were dropping the record at the beginning of the summer. So we dropped the record, the song happened to be about the summertime and everybody played it. It played at every barbecue, at every block party, on all of the cars on the street cruising."
When asked if Smith misses touring, Jazzy Jeff revealed he's been trying to get his longtime collaborator back on the road.
"I'm sure he does. That's why every chance he gets, and we have an opportunity to get together, we do it. I'm in the process of twisting his arm and doing one more tour."
Maybe this performance and the crowd's response will spark his interest.
