THE FATBOY SHOW : Will Smith's long, strange road back to music with his first album in 20 years.

But after 20 years, was this the comeback that anyone was waiting for? About as much as a sequel to "Wild Wild West."

And after "Bad Boys: Ride or Die" proved that he could still deliver a hit movie last June, it feels unnecessarily desperate — and tone-deaf when "he can fit your whole house in his pool."

Will in his feels just isn't what the world needs or wants right now.

Even at the height of his music career — both with DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince hits such as "Parents Just Don't Understand" and "Summertime" as well as solo smashes on the order of "Men in Black" and "Gettin' Jiggy Wit It" — Smith wasn't exactly rap royalty.
