I LOVE Lalah Hathaway. I began this morning with her on the brain and decided to make her my WCW (woman crush Wednesday). As I was listening to her Ghetto Boy, which is a remake of Donny Hathaway's original, I was reminded that Snoop, Dre, and Nate Dogg did a version too. When I think about how turbulent times persist in America so long after the original now 44 years ago I wanted to express my compassion for the young black man - because lets face it: that's what they mean by 'Ghetto Boy'. Code for economically disenfranchised men that look like me.
In homage, and somewhat a revolutionary cry of exasperation, I just wanted to take a moment to share with you the matriculation of the Little Ghetto Boy.
Listen to every one.
It's a spiritual journey.
One Love
