Old School Fridays: Too Hot for Radio

I know I have been absent from blogging for a minute. Alot has happened on the personal and career front so I haven't had much time to blog. However, when I heard about this week's Old School Fridays theme, I figured now was a good as time as any to get back into the blogging thing. My picks for this week are:

2 Live Crew -- We Want Some... -- Now as a self-respecting woman, I should not like this song. But this came out when I was in 11th grade and it reminds me of house parties I use to go even though I told my mom I was at Showbiz pizza. LOL!



Lil Kim -- Big Momma Thing -- Not exactly a song about female-empowerment, but it was my jam. And I completely forgot Jay-Z was on this...BB (Before Beyonce).



Bo$$ -- I Don't Give a F**k -- I pumped Bo$$ "Born Ganstaz" cd the entire summer of 1993. This particular song was my favorite on the entire cd. I use to get hyped when I played this song. I wonder what happened to her.

"I Too Sing America" -- In Honor of President Barack Obama

I felt this poem by the great Langston Hughes was appropriate for today. God Bless America!

"I Too Sing America" by Langston Hughes

I, too, sing America.

I am the darker brother.
They send me to eat in the kitchen
When company comes,
But I laugh,
And eat well,
And grow strong.

Tomorrow,
I'll be at the table
When company comes.
Nobody'll dare
Say to me,
"Eat in the kitchen,"
Then.

Besides,
They'll see how beautiful I am
And be ashamed--

I, too, am America.
