Let’s be clear: "The Fresh Prince Of Bel Air" wasn’t the first time that hip-hop culture made a splash on a mainstream sitcom.

Hopefully, we don’t need to explain the show’s basic thesis. You already know that the show made stars out of several of its cast members, and a superstar out of the consistently-bankable and entertainment-dynasty-spawning Will Smith.
