right?! honestly, I've never heard her sing. I don't know how either. But here I am, in love with this song. very clean but gets the point across so strongly
@@sac5778 She's an outstanding singer. Watch her do "When You're Good To Mama" from the movie Chicago, and her version of "Lush Life" from her album The Dana Owens Album.
I live in Greece and I am 21 years old.. Songs like this one make me understand what people of previous generetations experienced, felt and how they acted about it.. I see how authentic and strong their words are and that gives me inspiration.. Thank you.
YEAH EITHER WAY THIS SONG ROCKS...EVEN THE DIRTY VERSION---IS GOOD BECAUSE SHE IS NOT JUST CURSING WORDS...SHE IS EXPRESSING LIFE...BIG DIFFERENCE--THAN JUST SPEWING CUSS WORDS TO MAKE A SONG...
Actually Norwegians don't care one bit about censoring curse words so she could have done the dirty version if she preferred. Don't mind this though it's better than MTV or vevo doing it regardless if the artist wanted it or not
The woman in the 90s just simply were the last generation of classy woman. They were able to stand on their own and made hits that we still listen to daily . These singers and rappers can only dream of having a legacy like these 90s icons .
I DON'T CARE! I got this joint on replay ALL DAY LONG! This song fills me with joy and seeing Queen Latifah (the Queen of Hip-hop) still rocking this just makes me proud.
4:36 - 4:41 ME AF ...I would have the same face expression if I would be there... I LOVE THIS SONG and the fact it was performed at Nobel prize ... #smashpatriarchy
Queen Latifah is such a great woman. I remember as a kid getting into hiphop in the early 90s and she was always there. A cameo in Juice here, a guest spot on Yo! there. She ran the Flava Unit and was in all the Naughty vids. A cool lady.
Old school is the best and it never dies........ these new female rappers need to take notes, nicki minaj is included. Also, I wonder if that crowd would've bee more live and on their feet if this was iggly azealia or taylor swift on that stage performing, I say this for a reason!
Binge watched episodes of “the equalizer” for the past cpl weeks. Finally got caught up, wishing I hadn’t. Just waiting for the next episode! Had no idea that Queen Latifa was the star that she’s been all these decades. I didn’t watch the episodes thinking I was watching a superstar. I just wanted to watch something fun, spell binding and entertaining. Wow. Decades late but getting caught up on the public person known as Queen Latifa. Mad respect to the woman.
One word: FABULOUS. I love that song...2017 turning 2018 pretty soon and that is still one of my favorite songs. Go Queen Latifah, you are soooo talented. Nothing but love for you.
WOWOWO THIS SONG IS OUT COLD...I ALWAYS LOVED THIS SONG...SMOOTH JAZZ AND SWEET HIP HOP...A VERY EMPOWERING SONG...THE BEGINNING OF THIS SONG IS SOO SMOOTH....AND QUEEN EVEN FAR FAR BACK IN YOUR BEGINNING DAYS... I ALWAYS THOUGHT OF YOU AS A FINE LOOKING SISTER...ALWAYS HAVE AND ALWAYS WILL...LOVE WHEN YOUR HAIR IS IN THOSE BIG BABY CURLS...AND YOUR LOVING SMILE...PEACE TO YOU...AND MUCH LOVE....UNITY! YES WE STILL NEED TO FIGHT FOR IT....THANKS FOR THIS SONG!!
Of all of the people that have influenced my life .... I'd have to say that it's this woman --- Queen Latiffia ....that effected me the most . She keeps it respectfully real ! Thank you so much for being in this world and for being a light in the darkness . Much love , respect ,blessings to you and yours .
The people far away from the stage, I guess I can't blame them for not really feeling part of the party. The people on the floor were flowing a bit. Having great moments in their local groups of friends.
WOOOOOO WOOOOO SHE STILL HAS IT WOOOOOOOOOO ..I REMEMBER MY YOUTH...LISTENING TO THAT SONG ..HUUH HER FLOW IS JUST MAD DAMN ..SHES THE QUEEN OF HIP HOP THATS ALL ..SIMPLY ..
She cleaned the song up for the masses and it still sounded good.
BECAUSE SHE CAN-CLEAN IT UP AND IT STILL COMES ACROSS RAW...
Idk if people understand those pauses were for censorship. Listen to the original song and you'll know why lol
@@dmoney1148 that's right
Yes, she cleaned it up but didn't water it down....true to herself like the queen she is.
I guess it is kind of randomly asking but does anybody know a good place to watch newly released series online ?
20 years later and she still got the real flow. you are great queen
7/3/20 still relevant today!!
Love. This. Song....
@puffy the grande: IMO, she's the GREATEST FEMALE HIP-HOP ARTIST EVER!
More like 30 years 1993-2023
Just Like E-V-E!
when she said “i asked why” i’m like “girl no you didn’t, you punched him dead in his eye” 😂😂
Its been 20 years she must have forgot 😆
🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂 I'm ded
LOL
dead in the eye lol!
Yeah. That would’ve been awkward at the Nobel *Peace* Prize ceremony 😂 But I kind of wanted her to do it too!
Nahh sis you ain’t ask why , YOU PUNCHED HIM DEAD IN HIS EYE 😂😂💚👏🏾
Amberly Jones Exactly ctfu!!
Word!
I SAID THE SAME THING😂😂😂😂😂
Its been 20 years she must have forgot 😆
Rap on the Nobel Peace Prize Concert.. so cool :)
Not just rap, Hip Hop!
Yessss🤗🤗🤗
What I really like is that she cleaned it up but didn't water it down....
@@-_Nuke_- no it's just hip hop. Difference hip hop positive gangsta rap negative.
The fact that she did the clean version and did her thing. Wow. This is hands down my fave song from queen latifah. So epic.
right?! honestly, I've never heard her sing. I don't know how either. But here I am, in love with this song. very clean but gets the point across so strongly
@@sac5778 She's an outstanding singer. Watch her do "When You're Good To Mama" from the movie Chicago, and her version of "Lush Life" from her album The Dana Owens Album.
My fav from her is the jazzy "Queens Had It Up To Here".
that performance is still legendary
Class act. She wearing heels, she didn't take off her clothes, she not twerking pure boss 💯
Whoever was on the sax from beginning to end... you deserve a raise.
Her performance is untouched. Still sounds exactly like the original one. Stuned
Flow is mad crazy!
She's stunning, both inside and outside!
so old school and classy. i love it
Song never gets old - forever classic!
She's allways so graceful and gorgeous, even when rapping
She is a true legend
The Queen of Hip Hop!
Victor Pereira
wu tang style
Word up
Here and Missy Elliott
@@Ziggy788 don't forget lil Kim. Her song crush on you was fire.
No is shante
In my opinion she's in my top five greatest Lyricist as an MC and she's a complete Talent musically and as an actress also. love you Latifah
Yep with mc lyte
Look at the audience yep deep pockets
Gives me 90s and living single vibes
She’s so amazing
This song is still relevant almost 30 years later !
This song will always be relevant because we have people in this world who will never be about unity!
I love Queen Latifah
I live in Greece and I am 21 years old.. Songs like this one make me understand what people of previous generetations experienced, felt and how they acted about it.. I see how authentic and strong their words are and that gives me inspiration..
Thank you.
Mikeisyourfriend Yep.... it pretty much defines the black struggle in the U.S. I love this song though!
ELA RE ALANI
just spell this mellody whenever the struggle is real
Mikeisyourfriend .... It was more than music. It was our childhood. We poured our heart to those BoomBap tracks ... Is forever BoomBap bra.... ☮️
She's our Queen
I like this fusion between rap and jazz!
Rap comes from jazz....It was called scatting.
Damn Latifah is dope. Hosted, emceed, sang, put the edits in in real time. And looked fly doing it! She is a singular talent. Respect to the Queen.
Oh man, when was the last time you saw someone rap live this well without a backing track, so good
True dat!!! She is sooo good!!!
One of the best live sessions. The beat though damn
She still got it yaaaaasss!
Queen Latifah for first female US President ! ....... She is great !
Queen can do it all! Shes so damn talented and multi-faceted
Clean Version Love it. Evolve
YEAH EITHER WAY THIS SONG ROCKS...EVEN THE DIRTY VERSION---IS GOOD BECAUSE SHE IS NOT JUST CURSING WORDS...SHE IS EXPRESSING LIFE...BIG DIFFERENCE--THAN JUST SPEWING CUSS WORDS TO MAKE A SONG...

Yes! UNITY!
For the brotherhood
I love this performance. So classy and elegant. A true Queen indeed.

Gotta let em know! that's natural flow right there! I wasn't even born when this song was released but it's one of my favorites

but why y'all keep the name of Nicki in the mouth? Lmao, leave her alone already.
Back when females can rap with clothes on and supported each other.
Cardi B for sure
@mytime interesting thought point
The singel is beautiful❤🎉😊
Perfect performance by everyone, especially the Queen.

30+ years this song is so so golden, this track is everlasting just like The Whispers love.
Queen and u.n.i.t.y both dont get old
That audience is dead.
F.A. H. They tried 😂 bless their hearts, they tried so hard.
Stuffy old people...
they dont like hip hop
White people
The people far away from the stage, I guess I can't blame them for not really feeling part of the party. The people on the floor were flowing a bit. Having great moments in their local groups of friends.
Crowd was dead asf
deonna.xx it’s sad because queen brought it all to the stage too 🙄 if I was there I’ll be acting up lol!!!!!
Its a nobel prize haahha, there are only scientist
They're sleeping 😖
It's the Nobel Peace Prize concerts, the audience are on average 40+ year old scholars, scientists, and philanthropists.
It’s because the crowd is meant to be silent and respectful while the artists sing/rap so it can be heard clearly.
Old School!!
She's a living legend, long live the Queen Of Hip Hop. 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Queen Latifah has earned a Nobel Peace Prize for speaking out against domestic violence, give her the flowers
A true beautiful hiphop QUEEN!! A sista who always carries herself with class and integrity!
I known where I've been is a beautiful song perfet for us people of color.
This flow is on my mind from years.... I love Queen Latifah🔥💗. THIS IS U.N.I.T.Y
Imagine cleaning up a song and it's still SICK!
LEGENDARY ❤️
