That key that Queen Latifah wears is the key of the motorcycle that her brother was killed on so to answer your question it was not a fashion statement. It was something personal to her
@@StaxReacts'Ladies First' by Queen Latifah & Monie Love!!!! Also the dudes in the video for the first verse was Naughty by Nature, the one who grabbed her was Vin-Rock... Queen & Naughty are both from Jersey!!
This song is on her Black Reign album! The album still smacks to this day! Came out in 93! And the key around her neck is representing for her brother who died in a motorcycle accident
Jersey City NJ Dana Owens started her own label at 18 years old. Flava Unit Records and Management Company with CEO Shakim. Managed and Started the career of Naughty by Nature and Jhan’e. All this before her first acting role on Living Single.
As a gen-xer, I have been into hip hop literally since it started. What's sad to me was there more female rappers back then and there are now. Why is this????
I personally think a lot of it has to do with misogyny. while east coasters like Afrika Bambaata, KRSONE, Wu Tang, were coming up people like lil' Kim had to use sex to sell records. Mc Lyte and Latifah didn't exactly fall into that category. Male acts from that time got the first record deals, early stage shows, and were very well received. I also don't see a great change in that statistic until the past decade, with people like Claudia Meza (Snow the Product) really performing at a level high enough to make noise in the underground. (her story, in particular, is an example of textbook Misogyny)
She is lovely. When Latifah smiles she lights up a room. Hell if an actress too. She sings a song fronnhairdoray I think called I know where Im going and she sang for all she was worth and you really saw her talents there.
CRASH! 'Have a nice day' by Roxanne Shante '86. One of the 1st females in the rap game. ❤🇬🇧 pioneered the way for Latifa, Missy Elliot, Foxy Brown, Lauren Hill etc.... 👍
Newark, NJ Prince St!! This track was huge n still gives me goose bumps to this day. The key around her neck is from her brothers bike that died from a accident. Good doing your thing bro! Illtown to the Brickz😏💯💯
An OG in the NY hip hop scene. Good shit. "Ladies First" is another banger. Monie Love is with her in that video and another OG if you ever have time to get into her. "It's a Shame" and "Monie in the Middle" are good places to start with her. MC Lyte is another - I recommend "Ruffneck" as a starting song for her. Badass. Thanks for doing this one!
At the beginning of the video is her and her brother making a cheers to one another He rode a motorcycle and was killed and she wore his key around her neck. Just to let u know, Latifah is not from New York she's from Jersey. But I can understand why people would think because of our accent they alway equate it to New York. But the Attitude the Accent is a Northern Thing not a New York Thing.
I never noticed the key around her neck. If I had to guess, it was a call back from being a "latch key kid." Back in the day, parents used to put their house keys on their kids neck. That way, they had free use of the house until parent(s) got off work.
She's from Newark, New Jersey, same hood as Lauryn Hill/The Fugees. Look at Ladies First, Wrath of My Madness, Princess of the Posse. Cuts that had male mc's st the time puttting respect on her name. They came out years before this album.
"Ladies First" w/Monie Love, and "Latifah's Had It Up to Here" are 2 other good ones from her. She's also good on some collabs, checkout the remix to Brandy's "I wanna be Down", "H.E.A.L.", and "Freedom" (rap version) from the Panther movie soundtrack.
New shit lookin fly bruv. If you're hip to the 'native tongues' Queen Latifah and Money Love did a track together about their experiences in the hiphop supergroup. it's called "Ladies First" it's a banger. and easily one of my favorites.
Some wore condoms as accessories thanks to Lisa left eye Lopez from TLC then some wore pacifiers as a necklace then choke chains and ball chains became popular and for clothing really baggy pants and a tight shirt for ladies and extra large extra long shirts by the guys
Heya Stax! Love the Queen since way back! I searched you + salt n pepa, but didn't find anything. Would love to see you react to Salt n Pepas 'Shoop', Whatta Man, Push It, or None of Your Business! I saw them once. They opened for R Kelly, and (the very young at the time) TLC opened for them. It was TLCs first tour. I was there for SnP, was never a RK fan. Have a great day, Stax! 💙🔥💙
Social Scientist. Family Counselling. Edicator for over two decades. I teach folkx who will ne nurses and therapists. Abuse victims and abusers typically come from households of abuses--saw their own parents do this as the norm for love. Confidence and self-love are not instantaneous. They take time to build with support. Victims usually don't leave because of real fear of loss of life, especially to children, lack of capital (financial abuse is typically par the course), and lack of safe support/no where to ho ehere they cant be found by the abuser. Just fyi.
52 year old hip hop kid from Cincinnati. Latifah was just a bad ass rapper that mfers forgot
100%
Never forgten

And had something worthwhile to say, all with styly fashion. Sigh ❤
Her flow is reminding me of KRS-One here.

Mc Lyte Paper Thin, and Cha Cha
That key belonged to her brother who died, it was the key to his motorcycle.

Added!!
The last part of the song is about Yo-Yo the female rapper from LA who use to be Ice Cube's girlfriend in the early 90s.
🔥🔥🤘🏽🤘🏽
That's her singing the hook.
Yo Yo - You can’t play with my Yo Yo.
Classic Material HipHop HOF Shit Right Here
🤘🏽🤘🏽🔥🔥
Queen Latifa is the GOAT of female rap aka the Queen of hip hop.
🔥🔥🔥🙏
The key belonged to her Brother Lance, he passed on motorcycle.
RIP🙏💙

"Just another day"

Some wore condoms as accessories thanks to Lisa left eye Lopez from TLC then some wore pacifiers as a necklace then choke chains and ball chains became popular and for clothing really baggy pants and a tight shirt for ladies and extra large extra long shirts by the guys
I think someone stated she wore the key to the motorcycle her brother died on
The pacifier necklaces started at Raves. When you're gurning, you need something to stop you from grinding your teeth!
Lady of Rage - Afro Puffs
On the list
Could you please do the punk song seeing double at the triple rock by nofx
Queen latifah is covergirl face of the year for 4 years

Thank you una, I’ll check those out
That’s just a way of making her views known, because the little guy playing the part of touching her is VinRoc from Naughty by Nature.
💙🔥
Dude, check out Foxy Brown. CRAZY GOOD flow from her!!!
Gotchaaa

She the goat
Gotta throw out the song “ladies first” with a ton of guest appearances by other female rappers at the time in 89.
Definitely! If “U.N.I.T.Y.” is the anthem, then “Ladies First” is the VIP invite to the party! 🎉
