    Hail to the QUEEN. Latifah absolutely dominates the screen in this number--she works every line (and every curve) like an expert. Also, here's a fun fact: the prisoner at the beginning of the scene smoking a cigarette (who tells Roxie to keep Mama happy) is none other than Chita Rivera, who played Velma Kelly in the original Broadway production of "Chicago!" I love when films honor the source material with cameos like that. :D

      I had the same thought. She isn't really the type of women I am into, but she sure does know how to present herself, wich makes her very attractive.

      Don't underestimate poor-er Black folks. Sometimes those were the ones with missionary or Catholic educations. I'm one. Now we weren't poor but we were from the hoods of Chicago. But via the Catholic school system we were being taught by nuns with Master's degrees and the occasional Phd. While a great many kids even in rich towns were being taught by people with an Associate's or Bachelor's. And the Archdiocese's curriculum tended to be rich in latin and greek. The funny thing is I hear a lot about code switching and yes, it is a thing. But, I consider my 'reciprocity' side to be the authentic vocabulary, tone, and cadence.
      *I first learned the word reciprocate from a Sheila Bosworth novel when I was 11.

      @@FranSanTeeth90 It's unfortunate that you immediately assumed this was about race and income. I was talking about the fact that this environment is the 1930s (1920s?) version of a strip club. Not that I'm a strip club connoisseur, but I'd wager some money on the proposition that you don't often hear that word inside modern day strip clubs, or their music. (As further evidence, no one laughed at Mama in the actual jail environment when she used "bigger" words) I contend that this was meant to be a joke, and it was funny. And may I remind you, just by the way, you know nothing of my race (or income, or background, for that matter), so I think it might be you who is doing some "underestimating." Please check yourself before you assume bigotry in another (to paraphrase Matthew 7:3, if you read the Bible). All right?

      @@FranSanTeeth90 Here's a quote from you: "Don't underestimate poor-er Black folks." Oh the assumptions in that short statement...you assumed my race, you assumed my income level and what's worse, you directly assumed I was underestimating poor(er) Black folks' (your words not mine) ability to use "five dollar" words. (And you continue to assume that I NEED a "peek into a subset of Black culture" that you happen to know about. Just WOW.) But back to the main point, which was, underestimating poor(er) Black folks' ability to speak using Latinate, longer words = bigotry. So yes, you accused me of it. (I never said anything about being accused of racism, so don't you dare drag that into it now.) Don't backtrack on your accusation now that you've been called out on it. You directly accused me of bigotry without knowing a THING about me: my race, my income, my background. I don't have to put up with that because I made an innocent comment on a genuinely funny joke in a song in a movie. Nope, you don't get to get away with that. I stand by my statement: check yourself before accusing others of bigotry.

    So, back when I was in jail for a bit, there was this one guard who was really nice. She was always sneaking us stuff. Like toothbrushes and toothpaste (this was a bad bad jail. I caught MRSA in there. They wouldn't give you soap, toothpaste, brushes, pads fucking nothing. This is basic stuff and not luxuries. You should be given this shit if they insist on keeping you there.). One day she walked by and asked if I wanted anything. Told her a pen and some paper and a good tooth brushing. She comes back with the tooth stuff and apologizes that she couldn't swipe any pens or paper because someone was there. She then told me to make sure I got rid of the toothbrush by sending it down the toilet (very possible. Ever see a jail toilet?).
    We called her Morton. XD I have no idea what her real name is.

    And now, ladies and gentlemen
    The Keeper of the Keys, the Countess of the Clink
    The Mistress of Murderers Row
    Matron Mama Morton
    Ask any of the chickies in my pen
    They'll tell you I'm the biggest mother hen
    I love them all and all of them love me
    Because the system works, the system called reciprocity
    Got a little motto
    Always sees me through
    When you're good to Mama
    Mama's good to you
    There's a lot of favors
    I'm prepared to do
    You do one for Mama
    She'll do one for you
    They say that life is tit for tat
    And that's the way I live
    So, I deserve a lot of tat
    For what I've got to give
    Don't you know that this hand
    Washes that one, too?
    When you're good to Mama
    Mama's good to you
    If you want my gravy
    Pepper my ragù
    Spice it up for Mama
    She'll get hot for you
    When they pass that basket
    Folks contribute to
    You put in for Mama
    She'll put out for you
    The folks atop the ladder
    Are the ones the world adores
    So boost me up my ladder, kid
    And I'll boost you up yours
    Let's all stroke together
    Like the Princeton crew
    When you're strokin' Mama
    Mama's strokin' you
    So what's the one conclusion
    I can bring this number to?
    When you're good to Mama
    Mama's good to you (ah yeah)

    Jesus the comments here are disappointing. Am I the only straight male who sees Queen Latifah as the amazing actress that she is and not just “BOOOBS!” 🙄

    A long battle took place between the agents of Renée Zellweger and Catherine Zeta-Jones over billing on the movie poster. In the end, "diagonal billing" was settled upon - as depending on which way you read it (top to bottom or left to right), both appear to get top billing.

    Didn't realize this wasn't the entire song so that kind of sucks but really I wanted to say that Queen Latifah was IN that movie and is singing this song, but her name doesn't appear in the title of your video.
    It should.
    She is stand out talent and should have the credit.
    Isn't that what you're always telling us?
    So why do we need to tell you?

    I’ve noticed in all the comment sections to a Chicago musical song/number there are a handful of comments talking about the philosophical point of views and the little contexts I don’t normally notice. I haven’t seen any for this number and can’t come up with any myself.

    Got a little motto
    Always sees me through

    Mama's good to you
    There's a lot of favors
    I'm prepared to do
    You do one for Mama
    She'll do one for you
    They say that life is tit for tat
    And that's the way I live
    So, I deserve a lot of tat
    For what I've got to give
    Don't you know that this hand
    Washes that one too?
    When you're good to Mama
