Free Music Review: Queen's best (5 stars)
Hit: 5 Stars

Lemme tell ya this is one of the best rap albums that Queen Latifah eva put out in 1993 'cuz that's a tribute to his late brother "Winki" aka Lancelot H. Owens from a terrible motorcycle accident backthen. The tight song "U.N.I.T.Y" is an ode to the ladies who're bein' called "b****es" or "h**s", stuff like that. I'm blessed this doesn't have no warning label or sumthin that saids "PARENTAL ADVISORY: Explicit Lyrics" based off of that label put out in '85.

The song "U.N.I.T.Y" features a sample of the Crusaders (who are mostly my all-time favorite jazz group along w/ Spyro Gyra, Impromp2, Patrice Rushen, Us3, etc. who are my favorite jazz playas) which I read off the cover. This I have on tape not CD. The rest of the songs I might tryout once I listen to the album. Bought it yesterday at CD Warehouse ('cuz I heard they're goin' out of business pretty soon this summer or the fall).

I've always followed and dug Latifah's work back from day 1. From a rapper, an actress, an former TV host of her own show, a singer, all of the above. Yea as I said Queen Latifah is my girl and mostly da bomb in the music, movie and entertainment industry/community.

I recommend all of her other rap albums incl. her latest she put out last yr., "The Dana Owens Albums" (which sure is a good album to have), so hopefully I'll cop that rightafter I dig up all of her other albums. Surely a must for all hip-hop lovers, non-rap fans or beginners, A fanatic fan to any type'a music i.e. jazz, R&B, blues, rock, etc.

I 'specially recommend Ronny Jordan's "The Antidote" incl. all of his other albums, Guru's JAZZMATAZZ 3-part series, Miles Davis' later works from '81 thru '91, anything from Ray Charles, Quincy Jones, Barry White, Prince, Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder, Mase, A Tribe Called Quest, Patrice Rushen, Common, The Roots, Salt-n-Pepa, Dr. Dre, Outkast, etc.

When New Jersey's Dana Owens adopted the stage moniker of Queen Latifah when she launched her rap career in 1989, she also assumed the regal bearing and flowing clothes of African royalty. Her raps not only demanded respect but also radiated an unassailable air of authority. Since then Latifah has branched out as an actress (starring in the TV sitcom Living Single), businesswoman (she co-owns Flavor Unit Management, which handles rappers like Naughty by Nature), and singer (she sings with a live jazz band on the concluding cut of a later album), but that imposing dignity remains her trump card on Black Reign, her first album for Motown after an unfriendly split with Tommy Boy. Her refusal to be pigeonholed or limited in any way is part and parcel of her demand for respect and makes her one of the most rapidly evolving artists in hip-hop. --Geoffrey Himes
