38 Years Ago, One Song Almost Ended Will Smith's Career Before It Even Began

[هَـ-ђāŵĩ-ـَاوِي]

While his last big hit was when he slapped Chris Rock at the Oscars, Will Smith had a run as the undisputed king of end credit raps. His song for Men in Black won a Grammy and while Wild Wild West was a box office disappointment, the soundtrack went double platinum thanks in no small part to Smith's chart-topping song. But before he was known for closing out movies with rocking tunes, Will Smith was the Fresh Prince, and he and his pal, DJ Jazzy Jeff, were almost killed by one of the most iconic horror villains of the 1980s.
