Queen Latifah - "U.N.I.T.Y." video

Posted on June 8, 2006 9:32 AM

Who you callin' a bitch?

Obviously Queen Latifah's had it up to here with the misogyny, so we're gonna keep Women's Week rolling on Talkin' Videos with "U.N.I.T.Y.," [watch it now] a classic from my favorite Latifah album "Black Reign." Shit... that's one of the best rap albums of 1993 period. (No, I'm not buggin, and yes, I'm including "36 Chambers," "Doggystyle," "The Diary," "Bacdafucup" and "'93 'Til Infinity.")

I just saw Dana on CNN yesterday. Homegirl was talkin about startin a damn holiday. (Did anyone see "Last Holiday?") Her caption said "Singer/Actress." I guess that's because she ain't rapped in a while. I get the strange feeling she might be positioning herself to go into public service. Imagine in 2028... "President Latifah!" This is some shit we couldn't picture in 1991. Brother J (X-Clan) as the good Governor of Florida? Vice President Treach Cheney? Kid N' Play ministering education?

I don't know which transformation was more drastic for her, 1990-1993 or 1993-now.

Fuck was Vinny thinking grabbin on Queen Latifah's ass? He's lucky all he got was punched in the eye. Cleo is known to go pop the trunk and dump on a chump. Plus, she don't like dudes. Fellas, here's a little bit of cultural sensitivity training in honor of Latifah's Women's Day. You niggas can't just reach out and touch anymore! These aren't the good olde days when women just fell from trees onto dicks without resistance or opinion. You gotta like... talk to em first and shit. I dunno.

...and she left that imprint in that black forehead of his... UNIT-TEEEEEE!!!!

I love Naughty By Nature, but that seems like it wasn't the first time someone had to whip his ass... (*fading*) whip his ass... whip his ass...

She talkin all this unity shit, but straight up killin niggas with carbon monoxide poisoning from the bike. Irony is a motherfucker. Sure, we need to stop the violence in the hood, but we also need to stop the asthma. This was like former Vice President Latifah's version of "An Inconvenient Truth." This shit really had white folks like "Oh, my God! Is that really what's going on in the jungle... I mean... ghettos? We have to DO something! Well... I'll think about it after my facial... and racquetball."

I don't know which video I like more, this one or "Just Another Day." It was a tough call, but this one was a little bit more fun, so I went with it. Plus, Vin Rock slapped her ass. That was enough for me.

  • LOL @ skdamc

    I dont know.... People have always said she was gay and I personally think its her business if she is but Ima give her the benefit of the doubt and say she's not gay, she's just conservative with her personal life. If you can prove otherwise, somebody show me the tape, LOL

  • "Who u calling a bitch"...

    I used 2 love this joint. The whole KRS-ish reggae 2 rap fusion in it's infancy stages.

    As 4 Latifah .aka. DANA,
    I think she's maturing "in this business" and as a woman. If she's coming back out as a rapper, it will be interesting 2 c how she "comes out".

    Will we see the softer side or the whole Cleo on a motorcycle toting a gap. The bigger question I guess is:
    Will any1 still be interested.

  • "Ima give her the benefit of the doubt and say she's not gay, she's just conservative with her personal life."

    Dig, "benefit of the doubt?" You say that like she'd be at fault or in the wrong if she were gay.

    I have no problem making a gay joke... just like I have no problem making a joke on any group... but that's not to say that being gay is a bad thing.

    Like being black, or asian or...

  • I feel what Dig is sayin.

    Latifah seems like the type who would have come out of the closet willingly. Cuz she can whoop a niggaz ass for talkin sideways.

    'Yeah I eat pussy...WHAT NIGGA!!!'

    'Ummmm..........nothin QUEEN, let me get you a soda or something. Snapple? OJ? Watermelon White Owl? NO PROBLEM!'

    Beat a nigga like sophia did harpo in the color purple.

  • Queen Latifah movies are HORRIBLE. Set it off was a classic though.

    Her movies are as bad as...

    Jackie Chan AMERICAN movies *Sans Rush Hours*

    Tim Allen movies.*Sans...fuckin...Toy Story!*

    Martin Lawrence movies *Sans Bad Boys*

    Orlando Bloom movies! *Sans LOTR*

    Ben Affleck movies *Sans...nothing...*

    Jennifer Lopez movies! *Sans Money Train*

  • Ron Mex...

    Being gay is not a bad thing, I meant Im giving her the benefit of the doubt because everybody - at least everybody I know - is assuming that she is, especially after Set It Off. She plays a str8 woman just as well as she plays a lesbian because she's a good actor - or maybe cause she's bi? hahahaha.......... nah but like WillyJ said, I dont think she would give a damn bout saying so if she was, I just think she doesnt address it cause it aint everybody's business.

  • Orlando Bloom movies! *Sans LOTR*


    Jennifer Lopez movies! *Sans Money Train*
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    LOL Darth,

    Revise your list because Pirates of the Caribbean with Orlando Bloom was good

    and Out of Sight with J to the LO was good to.

    And don't front like watching Selena don't make your eyes a little misty.

  • Dig: Alright... cool. Thanks for the clarification. I getcha.

    ONE, homophobic? People think accuse me of having sugar in the tank on account of how much I attack homophobia.

    Mecca, Peace!

    WillyJ, They got watermelon white owls? God fuckin damn!

  • I met Lah a few times,and she was very pleasant each time.

    I have to disagree with you, whomever stated that Lah's movies was wack,( not so much!!)

    Bringing down the house was a pure classic! Funny, the funny thing about when i met Lah, I wanted to say a line from her movie, Do you guys remember in bringing down the house, Steve Martin tricked her by telling her he had Bagels ready for her outside and she walks outsdie and goe's WHAT UP YO, WHERE THOSE BAGELS AT? Me and by brother always recit that line, so when i met her, I really wanted to say that, but i didnt want to look corny, so I didnt say anything!!

    From one sister to the next, Im pround of Lah, Gay or sr8, who cares!!

  • When me and my old group opened up for Queen Latifah at one of her promo shows, I got to hug her and lose myself in her chest(no disrespect, but that was heaven!). I held on a little longer than I should've, but she was cool with it.

  • I don't think there's another female rapper that exhibits grace, class, and elegance like the Queen. She is definitely one of my idols. Love the song, love the video, love the album, love her.

  • Tragedy Styles says...
  • Yeah, my cousin was rapping on that beat. Who, he ripped this entire song. The beat is gone. Comepare it to Lloyd Banks song and you'll see my reason why of ranting and raving.
