Queen Latifah - U.N.I.T.Y. (instrumental)

produced by Kay Gee of Naughty By Nature & Mufi

[@viewfromthemancave1092]

One of the best beats in the history of rap

Hard beat, love early 1990s beats

[@dareal1956]

It’s the horns for me

[@anesuaspyamapako1068]

True say!

[@mjolden]

All these years I never knew Kay Gee produced this, but hearing it now, those drums do sound very “19-Naughty-3”.

[@paul.andre24]

That sax hits me everytime, amazing beat

[@anthonymartin9923]

And that upright jazz bass!!🎻

[@bujubanton3829]

one of the things i missed about old school hip hop, the east coast had that old school jazzy flavor in their beats and the west coast had the funk in theirs, the instrumentals were truly art

[@musiclover-cn7tb]

​@@bujubanton3829yessss nyc had more of the jazz elements.

[@yallsofake9344]

I love how the subtle horn still plays when the high pass filter is cut .

[@GNo03]

Ikr, that’s what I love about low pass filters, you can still faintly hear the melody but it’s all muffled

A minute ago, you was a nerd and nobody ever heard of ya Now you a wannabe... hard You barely know your ABC's, please There's plenty of people out there with triggers ready to pull it Why you tryna jump in front of the bullet (Young lady) ? Uh, and real bad girls are the silent type Ain't none of this worth gettin' your face sliced Cause that's what happened to your homegirl, right? (Barking with no bite!)

[@anthonymartin9923]

I was 10 when this joint came out so I totally got the same the vibe

[@MJBThePeacekeeper]

Okay, I had to do it. I'ma drop my own version of this classic. Peep the acronymized concepts of each verse. Hope you like....Oh, and mad props to the originator; the legendary Queen herself. Verse 1: The world is cursed with enough infamy enough people are portraying misogyny and misandry the madness and mayhem is getting more intolerant apparently we need upliftment and empowerment so this is food for thought between you and I let me break down the concepts of U-N-I-T-Y Utmost Nobility Inspires Tender-hearted Youngsters when kids display manners it's mainly a stunner or a shocker; don't be misled chivalry ain't dead dispensing positive pleasantries will get you ahead teach kids that there's respect need to be shown steer 'em the right way they might initiate on their own no one's telling you to suck up, be a brown-noser or a sycophant, don't be like none of these posers if people would instill and unleash magnanimity the world would probably have less calamity [Queen Latifah Hook] Verse 2: Word to all of you this is concept number two if you only knew this goes out to dispicable crews Uncivilized Nimrods Imprecate Threats Year-round people like these are so easily found countries at war combating with each other psychos inflicting bloodshed on sisters and brothers these kind of people are on one accord destroying peace and harmony 'til the point it can't be restored all the villainous people truly need to scatter forget race and color because all lives matter we gotta diffuse the tyranny and oppressive energy why shall we fall victim to all the enmity and misery take the evil out of people so we can finally unite cuz' the destruction and opposition is simply not right [Queen Latifah Hook] Verse 3: I'ma end this off on a conscience note a little self-awareness is what I'm about to promote Uproot Nefandous Indulgences Troubling Yourselves your well-being is the priority of nobody elses drugs and alcohol can cause great alarm eventually these 2 things can produce bodily harm greed and materialism is a threat for sure it can make attitudes and intentions become impure temptation comes in all shapes and forms let it manifest in your heart; good judgment will get torn if you don't help yourself how can someone help you? keeping yourself together is the biggest job to do in life you gotta be physically and psychologically healthy you know obstacles can be tangible or stealthy remember you have to be your own advocate depending on other people you'll eventually regret [Queen Latifah Hook]
