The key the show her wearing on her necklace is to honor her brother that she used to ride motorcycles with. He passed away in a crash. Not sure if anyone mentioned this yet. Also I'm a 47 year old white woman who has had a crush on her for 30 yrs. She's stunning and never ages! Next try "Ladies First" by her

When it comes to Queen Latifah’s acting career after the bone collector she had a no death clause in her contract, so that means any movie or TV show that she does she can’t die. Her death in set it off was enough for me because of how well that she did it. Her character only died in 3 films( Set it off, Sphere, The bone collector)

Latifah's delivery and breath control on the mic was just crazy. I'm just glad to see a younger generation vibe out and appreciate the OG's from yester-year. That Saxaphone sample is crazy. Oh ya and she can write too. This was a time when half of the HIp Hop artists were socially and politically driven.

Ya'll need to do a deep dive in Black music period. Other cultures appreciate our greats across the genres, sadly black millennials and Gen Zers don't study our rich musical heritage from the negro spirituals to the mid 1990s. Post year 2000 black music is mostly trash.
