@hustlersnthehood: Will Smith was 12 and already writing rhymes in a notebook, curse words and all. His grandmother Gigi found it. She didn't say a word to him about it. She turned to the back page and wrote him a note. "Dear Willard, truly intelligent people do not have to use words like this to express themselves. Please show the world that you're as smart as we think you are. Love, Gigi." "From that point I never put profanity in my rap music," he said. Years later that clean record took him and DJ Jazzy Jeff to the first rap Grammy ever handed out, for "Parents Just Don't Understand" in 1989. He calls Gigi's note "probably the single most impactful event that shaped how I led and how I still lead my career." #HustlersNTheHood
