      It's funny that in the decade of the Rodney King beating and the O.J. Simpson trial, black-white relations in the USA were better than today. The amount of fear and distrust being instigated by politicians/media/educational system is sickening. Anyone who doesn't believe it, can ask an black person over 35. Same goes for m/f relations. The only thing that's gotten better is LGBT. They really had it tough in the 90s.

      I will have to disagree(without changing your mind) on the grounds that the music from my Boomer parents was better. 70's were amazing. I think because the technology didn't allow to overproduce a song with prerecorded samples. People had to play all the instrumental parts and record them over and over to layer them over the melody.

      It was at number 1 for an eternity here in the UK. It really is a great song, and gets it's message across far more effectively than any of the mindless PC nonsense happening today.
      Sadly it was the only real success story En Vogue had over here. A few of their other songs were reasonably well known because they were in movies - but that was it. They vanished from the charts after this song and only get mentioned now on a handful of music channels when a 90's recap must be produced.

But, what are you gonna do? People will always be shallow and ignorant, unfortunately. Thankfully, though, now people aren't afraid to speak out and be strong. So not only is this song the fucking jam, it's also incredibly powerful and positive. Man, the 90's were fuckin iconic

      So you're on a rant about people's prejudice while you have a screen name about boinking dead people?

    • @bonbonbonny
      @bonbonbonny Před 7 lety +21

      Super.Chuck First of all, not sure what you're getting your panties in a twist for. I didn't say anything about a stereotype, I was just saying how this music is empowering and how it's unfortunate that some of the prejudice and ignorance is still happening today??? Not sure what's wrong with me saying that & also don't care. And secondly, you really need to get your facts straight, my dude. *Necrophilia* is when you commit sexual acts on a dead body. *Necromancy* is basically calling upon spirits and talking to the dead. But either way, thanks for your opinion? And regardless, have a great day👌

    [Intro]
    Prejudice, wrote a song about it
    Like to hear it? Here it go
    Free your mind
    [Verse 1]
    I wear tight clothing, high heeled shoes
    It doesn't mean that I'm a prostitute, no no
    I like rap music, wear hip hop clothes
    That doesn't mean that I'm out sellin' dope, no no no
    Oh my forgive me for having straight hair, no
    It doesn't mean there's another blood in my heir, yeah yeah
    I might date another race or color
    It doesn't mean I don't like my strong black brothers
    [Pre-Chorus]
    Mmm-dah, mmm-dah, mmm-dah, mmm-dah
    Why oh why must it be this way?
    Mmm-dah, mmm-dah, mmm-dah, mmm-dah
    Before you can read me you gotta learn how to see me, I said
    [Chorus]
    Free your mind and the rest will follow
    Be color blind, don't be so shallow
    Free your mind and the rest will follow
    Be color blind, don't be so shallow
    [Verse 2]
    So I'm a sista, buy things with cash
    That really doesn't mean that all my credit's bad, oh
    So why dispute me and waste my time?
    Because you really think the price is high for me
    I can't look without being watched, and oh
    You rang my buy before I made up my mind, OW!
    Oh now attitude, why even bother?
    I can't change your mind, you can't change my color
    [Pre-Chorus]
    Mmm-dah, mmm-dah, mmm-dah, mmm-dah
    Why oh why must it be this way?
    Mmm-dah, mmm-dah, mmm-dah, mmm-dah
    Before you can read me you gotta learn how to see me, I said
    You might also like
    Ich Liebe Dich

    All Of The Girls You Loved Before
    Taylor Swift
    Through Me (The Flood)

    [Chorus]
    Free your mind and the rest will follow
    Be color blind, don't be so shallow
    Free your mind and the rest will follow
    Be color blind, don't be so shallow
    Free your mind and the rest will follow
    Be color blind, don't be so shallow
    Free your mind and the rest will follow

    I listen to Alternative, Alt rock, Metal, Industrial, industrial rock, classic rock... rock rock rock. But I gotta say this classic kicks total ass. Awesome message in it too.

      Indeed, and it is amazing how relevant and timeless this song really is.

      Agreed. Because sadly, prejudice itself is timeless, in some form or another =( Love this song, especially its message. I've always liked the video too, but watching it now, as an adult, it kinda feels like some of the message is lost lol What with all the dazzle and of course the stunning beauty of the artists xD

    I don't know what's more impressive, that they are all such amazing vocalists or that they are so mind-numbingly gorgeous? I mean, other girl groups would be lucky to have one member who was remotely as talented as any one from En Vogue and (at best) one or two who could look half as hot!
    They could all sing lead (and did it AMAZINGLY WELL), their harmonies were insane, their songs were awesome and all four looked like beauty queens!!!
    One of the most iconic and legendary groups of the 90s - or any era for that matter!

    My favorite part is 1:17 with the head shake 😊, and yes I'm listening to this in 2023. Wished music nowadays was still like this
