又滑又順
慢慢找，總有好東西。
[Talib]
You know what some people put themselves through
to look just like you?
Dark stocking, high heels, lipstick, alla that
You know what?
Without makeup you’re beautiful
Whatcha you need to paint the next face for
We’re not dealin with the European standard of beauty tonight
Turn off the TV and put the magazine away
In the mirror tell me what you see
See the evidence of divine presence
Women of the, Carribean, they got the, golden sun
I know women on the continent got it
Nigeria, and Ghana, you know they got it
Tanzania, Namibia and Mozambique
and Botswana, to let it speak
about latinas, columbianas…
Tallenas, of course the Brooklyn women walk that walk
And the Bronx women walk that walk
Honies from Queens walk that walk, NYC, ATL, LA
Cincinatti, the Bay Area…
So chickity-check yo self before you wreck yo self
So chickity-check yo self before you wreck yo self
Come on and check yo self before you wrickity-wreck yo self
Cause bitches like you is bad for my health
"Once Upon a Time in New York — The Birth of Hip-Hop, Disco & Punk” (2007)
BBC Four documentary about a New York City vastly different from the one today. Beginning in the late ’60s, this 60-minute film focuses on the three musical genres that greatly impacted music as a whole: punk rock, disco and hip-hop.
“Mostly for black artists, we’re really not afforded unless you’re a jazz artist, you’re really not afforded the luxury of making an art record, or a concept record, or a passion project … For some strange, odd reason, and I’m not ever going to argue it, The Roots have always had that luxury.” - Questlove
