As a rapper, his name was The Fresh Prince, and he and his partner DJ Jazzy Jeff were the first hip-hop artists to win a Grammy award.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\"Summertime\" is one of their most famous songs; it has a slow pace and a smooth, relaxed feeling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><em>The temperature's about 88<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Hop in the water plug<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Just for old time's sake<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Break to ya crib<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Change your clothes once more<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>'Cause you're invited to a barbecue that's starting at 4<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"video-responsive\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"DJ Jazzy Jeff &amp; The Fresh Prince - Summertime (Lyrics)\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/bBs60R9qahI?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>\"Water plug\" is another name for a fire hydrant, which many children in the city use like a fountain on hot summer days.
