Smith trashed an entire career that had been leading up to that moment — from sitcom star (“The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air”) to box-office boss (“Men in Black”) to acclaimed actor (“The Pursuit of Happyness”) — when he shockingly slapped Oscar presenter Chris Rock shortly before winning one of those bald bad boys.Now he was the bad boy.Almost three years to the day after the slap heard around the world went down on March 27, 2022, Smith is attempting the most improbable of comebacks by going back to his roots in music with “Based on a True Story,” his first album since 2005’s “Lost and Found.”He addresses all the drama right away in the opening “Int.
