My Mom Sent Me a Folk Rendition of The Fresh Prince Of Bel Air Theme Song

by on April 6, 2011

If there’s a stereotype about white girls, it’s that they can’t rap. As much as this bums me out since I love rapping, my lack of rhythm and general swag puts a damper on my future hip hop career. We have to discover alternatives. Today, my mom showed me Kay Pettigrew. She changed a classic 90′s rap theme song into a beautifully arranged folk extravaganza!

I almost wish the title of the video didn’t tell you what you’re about to hear. I’m positive it would have taken me at least 20 seconds before I figured out she was covering I Am Legend.

  6. I’d agree with chris, as adorable as this was it doesn’t quite meet the epic win that was jimmy fallon as neil young…or jimmy fallon as neil young and bruce springsteen as a young bruce springsteen doing whip my hair, oh jimmy you slay me!
