Come, let us remember the time Will Smith played second fiddle to Alvin and the Chipmunks

TIL seeks to excavate and luxuriate in the pop culture relics of yesteryear by sifting through the staticky depths of the Internet Archive’s VHS Vault.
It’s hard to imagine, but there was once a time when Will Smith was a cheeky up-and-comer and not a cheeky megastar kicking up his feet in a $2 million dollar trailer that blocks traffic. Granted, this was around three decades ago, back when he was just getting started on a new sitcom after a string of rap hits as The Fresh Prince. The internet, however, never forgets such things, and will always provide for the patient and diligent among us. It is without further ado that we present to you Will Smith playing second fiddle in an extremely 1990’s direct-to-VHS tape of Alvin and the Chipmunks music videos.
