New Hip Hop Song 'Black Princess' Calls Britney Spears Ugly

July 27, 2006 (PRLEAP.COM) Entertainment News
“India Arie, you are so sweet and lovely. Britney Spears you are ugly”. Those are lyrics from the hip hop/reggae song ‘Black Princess’ that has been creating quite a stir on the internet. The pop princess has been accused of a lot of things including a less than perfect mother, but this must be the first time someone has referred to her as ugly. When ask why did he took such a shot at Britney Spears, Bookman the artist for ‘Black Princess’ replied: “I was just watching VH1 most beautiful people and I was not seeing any of the women that I consider beautiful such as Venus Williams and India Arie. Then they showed Britney Spears and I almost fell out my chair, because I thought there is no way Britney is as beautiful or talented as India Arie, so I just came up with the song right there.”

The song which is one of the most downloaded on both iTunes and Yahoo music is getting plenty of praises and criticisms. Surprisingly on MySpace almost everyone seems to agree with Bookman. Some MySpace users even go as far as saying that there is no competition, India Arie far outshines Britney in both the beauty and talent departments. Both comments about the song and the song itself can be seen and heard at www.myspace.com/tcooo. The song does not stop at Britney Spears, but also take shots at some athletes like Kobe Bryant, Charles Barley, Tiger Woods, OJ Simpson and Anna Kournikova.

At press time, a call to Britney Spears publicist to get her take on the song was not returned. Britney Spears will appear almost nude on the cover of the August issue of Harper's Bazaar. ‘Black Princess by Bookman continues to be heavily downloaded on iTunes and Yahoo Music. The song can also be heard at www.soundclick.com/18karatreggaegold.

Below are the lyrics for 'Black Princess'. The song is featured on the '18 Karat Reggae Gold 200' CD.

Man a Kunta Kinte, don't call me Toby
You can't accuse me of raping white girls like Kobe
India Arie, you are so sweet and lovely
I want you to kiss and hug me
Britney Spears you are ugly.

Chorus:
What would I do without my Black Princess
I would live celibate, I would die celibate
Cause all the girls I met
And all the girls I sex
There was none like my African Princess (twice)

To chase white women that’s not me bra
I might marry one to get my visa
But I wont turn white woman breeder
Cause I don’t want my child to be no zebra
That’s why I wont catch no Jungle fever
And I don’t want no girl that looks like Reba
She must be cute like the Queen of Sheba
She must be fit to be an African leader
And in Jah she must be a believer
In Jah she must be a beliver

Chorus:

I was chillin at my job where I met a blonde bimbo
She whispered in my ears that she wants Mandingo
Because I turn her on with my Jamaican lingo
Plus am flexible enough for the Jamaican limbo
She heard it through the grapevine
I give girls a great time
Because I have a great whine
Sweeter than the grape wine
She say meet her at break time
She know that will be long enough
Because she heard am long enough
And she could see am strong enough
Black and African enough
I practice how to slam enough
Her boyfriend only nyam enough
Good thing I was man enough
To know I couldn’t bang the slut
A nuff Black woman mi want….


Chorus:

I could never take vanilla and leave chocolate alone
Oh no, am not Karl Malone
I don’t go crazy for some bitch name Barbie
I leave that for OJ and Charles Barley
Am from the place of water and wood
100% real African wood
Am not diluted like Tiger Woods
I need a real Black woman to make me feel good
So keep Kournikova and keep Martina
Just give me Venus and the sweet Serena
Serena, Serena, I love the batty rider wha you eena
Serena, Serena, I love the pum pum shorts wha yu eena
