Though he wasn't exactly born and raised in West Philly (try Kenya and London, Ontario respectively), Toronto-based and Polaris-nominated emcee Shad has dropped this unstoppable shot-by-shot send-up of the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air title sequence as the video for his latest single, "The Old Prince Still Lives At Home." With London valiantly subbing in for Bel-Air and just the right amount of neon, all he's really missing is a hi-top fade.
Once you're done watching, you should probably go buy his record The Old Prince so you can say you owned it before he won his Polaris dollars. Which he plans to spend on food and a gold cape.

spacejack - Or took 2 minutes out of your busy blog-reading schedule to look for the Fresh Prince intro on YouTube.
