Is The Fresh Prince theme song the most recognizable hip hop song of all time?

[Paper Boi]

It’s “Lose Yourself.”

Biggie hypnotize?

i don't think people outside US would know about that song

I'd imagine that as the one time biggest action star in the world, that his series aired in different countries to capitalize on the fame. People outside America have definitely heard that song before.

Baby Got Back…learned in college how big this song is with the general masses. Nouthin But A G Thang is up there too

First thing I thought of, Nicki Minaj got the SirMixAlot stimulus with anaconda so it reached even more people.

Fresh Prince is global

Yeah, the show aired in the 1990s......been in syndication in America since then. Everyday somewhere.
Has aired around the world in the English speaking countries, and language-dubbed in the others since Smith became an action hero / movie star.

Has definitely been broadcasted and heard globally by more ears than any actual rap single has. Not even close.

Now this is a story all about how my life got flipped, turned upside down…



Perfect intro and totally sets the tone.

The Fresh Prince of Bel Air's theme song has been heard billions of times since the show made its debut on Sept 10th 1990. Is there any other Hip Hop song as recognizable on a world wide level as the Fresh Prince's theme? Some people had the audacity to say Baby Got Back?

This is the definitely the answer. I’m dying at some of the answers in here

 

[AQz]

It’s quite possible.
