Haha! 'You don't see too many joyous racists' !
Hell of a heavy overcoat to be wearing.
Love
"Relevance"is the word…save the "y."
Shouts to the so-called hip hop fans that disliked the video because they're triggered by the word racist.
Black On Both Sides aged like fine wine. I can't believe this album came out in the late 90s. GREAT sound quality.
Great song,
