Will Smith Bumps Playboi Carti, and It Was Lowkey Cringe - Page 2
Is Will Smith now a Vamp? After cooking up some music in real-time on PlaqueBoyMax’s stream, Will stepped out of the booth for a break. Max saw the perfect opportunity to introduce him to “OPM BABI” from Playboi Carti’s new album. What happened next was pure comedy.
The second the beat dropped, Will looked lost. His face twisted up like he just smelled something foul, and you could tell he was fighting for his life trying to catch the rhythm. Carti’s chaotic production of wild 808s, distorted melodies, and baby-voice ad-libs was clearly throwing him off. The Fresh Prince tried to nod his head, but it was way off-beat like he was buffering in real time. After about 30 seconds of pain, Max hit him with the golden question: “So, what you think?” Will paused, probably gathering his thoughts, then hit Max with the most safe, media-trained answer ever “I like the rhythm.”
The chat lost it. The clip went viral instantly, with people clowning the generational gap. Max was vibing, but Will looked like he just went through a spiritual crisis. Safe to say, Carti won’t be making it to the Philly Legends personal playlist anytime soon, but at least he tried. The moment was legendary, though Hip-Hop’s past and future collided in the most awkward way possible.
Check out some of the funniest reactions to Will Smith listening to King Vamp, Playboi Carti.
