Will Smith and Soilwork. What?

http://www.reddit.com/r/Metal/comments/hxy4w/will_smith_is_a_huge_fan_of_soilwork/

I don't get it? Is something supposed to be funny here or what?

Will Smith, an actor and rapper:

Actor? Yes.

Rapper? Hardly lol. Yeah, he does or did Hip-Hop.

Why would either one of those make it out of the ordinary for someone to like a band?

I thought he was into music before acting.

Please please, do explain the finer differences between hip-hop and rap while I neglect to pay attention because I care not.

It doesn't really matter. The fact still remains why it is funny for someone in the music industry to like a band.

I wouldn't expect an American from his musical genre to even be aware of let alone be a big fan of a Swedish band from such a genre as melodeath.

lol will smith.

I think you are thinking of Woll Smoth
