Will Smith may be more of an actor than a rapper these days, but when he’s out promoting a movie, he seems like he is always happy to drop a few verses on an always-appreciative audience.

This latest walk down memory lane comes a few weeks after Smith beatboxed “It Takes Two” with Jimmy Fallon over an iPad app on The Tonight Show.
