Mos Def and Talib Kweli – “Brown Skin Lady”
Arguably, two of hip-hop’s best lyricists introduced this positive and celebratory song on their classic album. This outstanding song bespeaks of Mos and Kweli’s fondness and appreciation for the complete woman and ethnic beauty and intelligence.
Memorable lyrics from the song:
Fresher than Tony Rebel’s vestibules at African street festivals
My incredible women is, plentiful
Over the years I met a few, none of them compare to you
Preparin you to make food bearable, somethin terrible, let’s see:
you fruitful, beautiful, smart, lovable, huggable
Doable like art, suitable to be part of my life (© Talib Kweli
