If Not Hip Hop, What?

Sometimes I shave my legs and sometimes I don't
Sometimes I comb my hair and sometimes I won't


Apparently I have offended the feminine Gods by not selecting the preferred image of India Arie.

I stand corrected.

  2. India Arie "Beautiful Flower"

    This is a song for every girl who's
    Ever been through something she thought she couldn't make it through
    I sing these words because
    I was that girl too
    Wanting something better than this
    But who do I turn to

    Now we're moving from the darkness into the light
    This is the defining moment of our lives

    'Cause you're beautiful like a flower
    More valuable than a diamond
    You are powerful like a fire
    You can heal the world with your mind

    There is nothing in the world that you cannot do
    When you believe in you, who are beautiful
    Yeah, you, who are brilliant
    Yeah, you, who are powerful
    Yeah, you, who are resilient

    This is a song for every girl who
    Feels like she is not special
    'Cause she don't look like a supermodel Coke bottle
    The next time the radio tells you to shake your moneymaker
    Shake your head and tell them, tell them you're a leader

    Now we're moving from the darkness into the light
    This is the defining moment of our lives

    'Cause you're beautiful like a flower
    More valuable than a diamond
    You are powerful like a fire
    You can heal the world with your mind

    There is nothing in the world that you cannot do
    When you believe in you, who are beautiful
    Yeah, you, who are brilliant
    Yeah, you, who are powerful
    Yeah, you, who are resilient

    Yeah, you, who are beautiful
    Yeah, you, who are brilliant
    Yeah, you, who are powerful
    Yeah, you, who are resilient

    Yeah, you, this song is for you
    Yeah, you, this song is for you
    Yeah, you, this song is for you
    Yeah, you, yeah, you
    You are brilliant

  3. "Brown Skin"

    Brown skin, you know I love your brown skin
    I cant tell where yours begins, I cant tell where mine ends
    Brown skin, up against my brown skin
    Need some every now and then:oh hey:

    Where are your people from? Maybe Mississippi or an Island
    Apparently your skin has been kissed by the sun
    You make me want a Hershey's kiss, your licorice

    Every time I see your lips, it makes me think of honey-coated chocolate
    Your kisses are worth more than gold to me
    I'll be your almond joy, you'll be my sugar daddy

    Brown skin, you know I love your brown skin
    I cant tell where yours begins, I cant tell where mine ends
    Brown skin, up against my brown skin
    Need some every now and then:oh hey:

    Every time you come around, something magnetic pulls me and I cant get out
    Disoriented, I cant tell my up from down
    All I know is that I wanna lay you down

    Every time I let you in, abracadabra magic happens as we swim
    Higher and higher finally we reach heaven
    Come back to earth and then we do it all again
    Yeah:..

    Brown skin, you know I love your brown skin
    I cant tell where yours begins, I cant tell where mine ends
    Brown skin, up against my brown skin
    Need some every now and then:oh hey:

    Skin so brown, lips so round
    Baby how can I be down?
    Beautiful mahogany, you make me feel like a queen
    Tell me what's that thing you do that makes me wanna get next to you, yeah

    Brown skin, you know I love your brown skin
    I cant tell where yours begins, I cant tell where mine ends
    Brown skin, up against my brown skin
    Need some every now and then:oh hey:

  10. Ahhh ... Jasai calm down. Got your lips all poked out for nothin'.

    Fox News my ass. I'm proud of the range, depth and coverage here. If you know a place where black women are better represented in all their beauty, diversity, range and depth, let me know.

    Ya'll can crucify black male rappers all day every day and blame them for everything from global warming to athletes foot then hit the roof because of a light hearted portrayal of India Arie?

    How you go from Buddha to a hater?
