Shing02 - Black is Beautiful

Song: Black is Beautiful
Artist: Shing02
Do Not Ask Me To Send You The Song, Just Buy The Album, It's Worth It~!
I've been kinda busy so I didn't have enough time to put the lyrics to the song in the video, sorry.
Lyrics are in the description instead.
Black is beautiful to me
Wake up brethren Asian persuasion
Black is beautiful to me
Love Self sistren Asian persuasion
Black is beautiful to me
Respect brethren African persuasion
Black is beautiful to me
One Love sistren African persuasion
Afro-centric music is the roots but
Ever since birth I've wondered
Who, what, when, which, how did we get to this place
Island culture cultivate the race
Faces, basic smiles speak a thousand words
That go a million miles
Until we realize that we gotta stay true
Despite the lies, read between the lines
And move forward
Oh Lord
Heritage manifest in the color of the mane of our men and women
New born, blessed with natural melanin
Living and shine like filaments
Pitch black hair, rich black eyes
Capture the rapture of mother nature
Beyond Africa, Pan Pacifica, Antarctica to South America
Health before wealth in the kingdom of righteous
Fight until death do us part and I might just
Travel to the depth of the heart of Atlantis
Pledge to the state of the art so I plan this
Expedition as my mission all the while
Competition lose not knowing why
Til the day I chill in the east of the River Nile
Real skill, real deal never go out of style yeah
Who wanna test their blackness?
Let me guess, fake jocks frontin' like Loch Ness
Life blessed you to look the best
When you're dressed with less but cover the rest
Some kids with straight strands want dread locks
Some girls with a fro want to straighten their chops
It's all good we all grow out of it just like hair-do
You gotta vibe and flow with it just like air do
'Round the globe youth carry the hope
That one day everything's gonna be just fine now
Press rewind to a world color blind
Zero complex, find a space all mine
I grew up on the East Coast, opposite of Ivory
In the 21st, reckon economic slavery
Beyond Africa, Latin America, through Jamaica back to Japonica
Man and machine make the money that manipulate
Mind over matter meaning make moves to motivate
Before we globalize commercially
We need to mobilize community to spread the music with mercy
'Cuz exploitation is the blast from the past
Conversation help future visions last
Til the day I fill the post I'm supposed to live by
Real skill, real deal never go out of style yeah
Black is beautiful to me
Respect all state, all color, all race
Black is beautiful to me
One love, one god, one mind, one heart
INI, You and I, realize U-N-I-T-Y
INI, You and I, realize U-N-I-T-Y
Receive, Respect, Reflect
Pass it on, pass it on, pass it on
Receive, Respect, Reflect
Pass it on, pass it on, pass it on

[@Ineedair]

I found an old CD of mine with this song. Great to see it’s on KZbin.

[@willardlol]

Shing02 is an amazing rapper. I love how he's been so culturally exposed and it shows through his lyrics. This guy lived in England and Tanzania before coming to the States. Also, he lives in Oakland!!!! So cool to have a guy like this reppin' the Bay Area!

[@ArmageddonMusiq]

I love my japanese brothers & sisters as well, good looks shing02! 1 love world wide, judge by character not color!

[@JL0vely]

man thats beautiful! an asian man giving props to blacks..BLACK IS BEAUTIFUL YALL!

[@SirArthur007]

Black hair is beautiful :) Asian unity.

[@redbigdaddy1]

he speaks the truth...and the the whole song is just perfect...lyrics and beat. sounds like reggae and jazz ^^

[@ayabaheera]

I love this guy! Thank you Shing! I'm so sick of the racism and stereotyping!

[@comrademazi8539]

Thank you for making this song bro !!

[@Aries1990]

Shing02 is one of the best.

[@HistoMagouri]

The world was almost at peace 10 years ago! Now look what happened to it today! This song gave me hope for my generation, for the people, for the global citizens, only for them to submit to fear, to turn against each other, all for what? Words? Opinions? Ideologies? Perspective alone? *_I'll never let the pain, the darkness determine who I am._* And if that's how the rest of you are, then *_I will never be you._*

[@bboymango]

nujabes and shing02 both are my favourite artisits of allll time!

[@ArtbyAtlas]

Too cool, I never knew Shing made a song like this :D

[@Zero1216]

for the little amount of people who arent completely dull i commend you. Shing02 tells the world but they dont get it or dont listen. with high hopes it will reach "some" people.

[@Jazzyyykat]

U r so right u r king Shing02!

[@thefinalwatcher]

Great song!!!

[@kashifmoore]

i thought all ppl hated us thanks for proving me wrong shing!!

[@jabapy343]

本当に素晴らしいわ 日本人のコメントが全然無いのが悲しいね

[@melonpannnn]

最近の差別問題からこの曲を思い出して来ました！ I respect black people＆culture.

[@RuthIessVillain]

Blacks & Asians STAND UP!!! Stop the hate...spread the love...

[@cellphonecharm]

OMG!!! this is so fresh!!! i love all people, but i love asian people a lot!! I think their cultures are so interesting. i'm mixed black an white.

[@Darkizii]

Awesome.

[@HistoMagouri]

One of my favorite songs to listen to back in the day. It's still relevant, even today. Thanks to Nujabes, Shing02 and many others for teaching me the meaning of "In La'kech" long before I actually knew what it meant.

[@mangadud]

Interesting song! This song should be used in AM and BW vids or something. I will be honest, I never thought I'd hear a song like this coming out of a Japanese guys mouth. Nice.

[@iTonyFortyTwo]

Wow this is so freaking awesome! For reals

[@SunsoAFK]

cali is def the place you see asians and blacks connecting :) i'm puerto rican/black from north cali with a half japanese bf

[@SidneySavaage]

i agree. asians and blacks should unite!!!!!!!

[@redbigdaddy1]

Receive, Respect, Reflect Pass it on, pass it on, pass it on

[@kzoney]

damn usually only blacks usually make a flow about other blacks being beautiful i recall the last rapper to do that was tupac. but the first person outside of the black race to make a flow about blacks being beautiful is Shing02??? i mean i heard a few of his flows such as F.I.L.O., the Luv Sic (all 3),Lift the fog, etc but this is entirely different. real talk he has my respect. Shing02 earned that respect by making beautiful music

[@redbigdaddy1]

black...is...beautiful to me...all colors all races ^^

[@NeoShinobi]

I wanna drive down south of the US and blast this music! XD

[@AnbusKi]

[@sireastwood]

I fuckz with this dude odee BLACK IS BEAUTIFUL

[@AfroPK]

You should be happy that you are who you are rather than belittling yourself. Im a fourth white and i feel that you should do your best to improve yourself and love yourself as you are.

[@80sbabyDUI]

COOL AS HELL!

[@candymoon]

I think that Blacks and Asians can connect with each other. I enjoy both asians and black music I am teaching myself Japaneses. I think that in the south there is a lot of stereo type from both race about each other that they are scared to talk to each other. I have hair the stereo type am I do not agree with any of it. It is the same about Mexicans I love all races

[@cambonese001]

that's awesome!! yea it's weird when people give racial looks but as long as you and her are happy it's all good

[@111Treasury]

What if this is the future for black people and asians. This would be so cool.

[@themarsvolta888]

I think everybody should like everybody

[@From-Molly]

@xXF3LiCkZXx All the best music is!!

[@CptUwU]

@GGDrooid actually rap was made in Mexico along ass time ago its just that it really didn't have a beat like today so no one really thought of it as rap just because of the way it sounds

[@joemplascencia]

No race, just human; imperfect How bout you?

[@unclejemima0]

ASIA, AFRICA, UNITE

[@frozenray0079]

@TheMarkSasuke64 that's awesome xD

[@sireastwood]

black and asians ftw

[@morphomm9446]

👍❤️

[@AGStylZ]

Honestly, I don't know why this video's comments are fulled of arguments and ignorant people. A lot of people in every race are unpious, get over it. If you're not going to do anything in the name of peace and justice then turn the other cheek and go on with your lives. If you're listening to Shing02 and consider yourself a fan, then you wouldn't be stemming arguments from one of his songs. As the Man himself said, "Spread love CC: the whole society". Words of wisdom, soak it in. Sheesh.

[@BlackShogun]

Black hair, black eyes, black soul, black skin...one day, since history has well taught us, the human race will be one skin tone. Then we'll find another reason to fight...religion will still be around?

[@ilias900]

yeah I'm not black but my homecountry is in Africa too.

[@lynnjerome1807]

.....im gonna marry him....thats ...thats it..o_o...im marrying him..

[@Soullessmushux4]

[@ChristCenteredMentalHealth]

@Mischievous415 amen to tht bro!!! im chinese and my girl is black :)

[@redbigdaddy1]

[@ruusG]

Marcus Garvey - Burning Spear :D

[@brooklyninja]

Black is Beautiful. Everyone is Beautiful. The only ugliness comes from some bad/ignorant people.

[@Wolfsrain90]

@duckirby To be fair, he did spend some of his youth living in Tanzania.

[@NYhope07]

Surprise I'm one anywaysnCalif is where you see blacks and Asians connecting

[@ChristCenteredMentalHealth]

@FastUzumakiFive we aint togetha no more but we were together for almost a year though ...

[@atbanzairock]

@TheKittymix yeah,i think so,too. to begin with, they should respect their own culture.

[@candymoon]

Re post I really think that both races can come together as I said before I love learning about the Asia culture and I am black.

[@Big-Papa-Smurf]

Hip-hop/Rap originated in the U.S. Blacks in the U.S. lost almost all African roots, to say rap is African is like saying Rock music is African, considering blacks started that too.

[@JoyfulElephant]

I'm asian and im just gonna be honest we don't like black not because we are racist, but it is human beings we tend to chose the people who is more whiter becuase it is looks clean. and like what I said it is human being and has proven by the psychologists.

[@redknightricky]

@no2facism: Any color combination is beautiful.

[@dj2nu]

Asians are also beautiful. I'm black and I love Asia.

[@thebigmike94]

where u get these songs at i cant find any nujabes or shing02 anywhere

[@shylove7312]

Well you don't appeal to the common denominator either- that's for sure! :) Oh, and um, I don't need to "appeal" to the common denomenator, THANK YOU VERY MUCH, I'm happy appealing to my boyfriend, and my family. :) But of course I doubt you care. Oh well!

[@piddshare]

as long as noone bothers me i have no prb with any race

[@xXF3LiCkZXx]

@SeanShannohan Shing02 is underground xD

[@atbanzairock]

@TheKittymix Hi,i am japanese.that is true but there is no racism or discrimination,i think.they just dont feel black people familiar to them very much yet.excuse my poor English.

[@Mattgizzle19]

Its all good dude...i know where ur coming from but Hate creates more hate, and we have too much of that in the world, it really wasnt supposed to be this way.

[@nighthood27]

can i find somehow the beat?

[@qnzchoe]

he sounds like the opposite of DMX from that song like PITCH BLACK HAIR.

[@redbigdaddy1]

i thought he was raised in Oakland Cali...

[@dj2nu]

My last girl come from Vietnam

[@purplehoody]

i can see shing02 w/ a black chik hahahah jk

[@steeleX42]

@zanpaktuh im black and l love you even with all your hate :) peace and love

[@JoyfulElephant]

Do not make any excuses to yourself, you know everything you said is not a facts but just simply your imagination.

[@sireastwood]

asian and black is a good mix preferbly japanese

[@cambonese001]

you know what??? i've seen many asian girls with black guys but i still have not seen a asian guy with a black girl my cousin has though ...... just a random saying

[@duckirby]

Hahah now that i think of it, i can see Shing(0h)2 having a black GF and a half black kid lol

[@matics28]

@matics28 crowd*

[@maryamhughes3532]

So, I guess he never got his dream....

[@jongsong86]

@Nblood1992 I wasn't being funny? Hence the use of the phrase "not to be funny but.." sheesh dude wtf.

[@Bhatch2007]

@chocol8haze24 Shit I'm black and I love asian culture. Finna take an asian history class. Lol.

[@jongsong86]

@Nblood1992 Calm down.

[@shylove7312]

Also, the reason white people have colorful eyes and colorful hair was because even the creator (or whatever you want to call it) knew that White gets a little bit boring after a while! He figured that it wouldn't be fair to give only some races color, and not the others. He had to make it even! :P (I know it's racist, Im so so so sorry! I'm not racist, its just this person really pressed my buttons, and I needed to say something. Honest, I'm sorry. NOT TO YOU MR. ZAN- or whatever your name is!)
