Like the hip hop writer for<a href=\"http:\/\/front-free.com\" target=\"_blank\"> Front-Free<\/a> would say, this is a vintage good. That infectious saxophone in the chorus, giving the song a jazz vibe with a hip hop instrumentation makes this record even more better. This song spoke about a lot of things that&#8217;s still prevalent in today&#8217;s time. It was speaking on the issues women go through regarding street harassment, domestic abuse, and the derogatory slurs used against women. It&#8217;s just a timeless hip hop classic with a socially conscious message, that still leaves in impact to the culture.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Queen Latifah - U.N.I.T.Y.\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/f8cHxydDb7o?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n\n<script>\nvar zbPregResult = '0';\n<\/script>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; The legendary rapper\/singer\u00a0Queen Latifah\u00a0released &#8220;U.N.I.T.Y&#8221; in 1993 off &hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1894,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[21,13],"tags":[51],"class_list":["post-1893","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-soul-savvy-classics","category-videos","tag-queen-latifah"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/soulsavviness.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1893"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/soulsavviness.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/soulsavviness.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/soulsavviness.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/soulsavviness.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1893"}],"version-history":[{"count":13,"href":"https:\/\/soulsavviness.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1893\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1907,"href":"https:\/\/soulsavviness.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1893\/revisions\/1907"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/soulsavviness.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1894"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/soulsavviness.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1893"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/soulsavviness.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1893"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/soulsavviness.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1893"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
