"Across 110th Street" (1972) Hotney 9 Streams • 4 years ago

This is the Opening of 1972's "Across 110th Street" with RE-MIXED SOUNDTRACK: specifically instead of the original version of the song the film used, I've swapped out that track for the other more well known, more orchestrated recorded version, also with Bobby Womack on vocals, just to see hear how it would work. And man DOES it work -- albeit now minus some of those funky 70's rough edges the original version had (congas) which did give it that great 70s 'blaxplotation vibe. Anyway I've got both versions up here on the Tube so you can compare them, the original here
https://youtu.be/96WE2Nj-k-U
and this Remix one.
See what you think!
If you don't agree Bobby Womack just kills this song, man something is wrong with you!

Tarantino used this version of the great Bobby Womack's song in his film, "Jackie Brown". Not once, he used the song twice (!) Under the Opening credits sequence with Pam Greer seeming to float through the airport on the moving sidewalk (pretty cool shot) and then in the closing scene with Robert Foster. Both times to very good effect. More recently the same track was used in "American Gangster". So I hope Mr. Womack is catching some nice royalties.

I hope you enjoy this - it seems very popular and I cant get over the number of hits it gets.

More info:
"Across 110th Street" (1972) is one of the better Blaxploitation Films of the 1970's. It has some great 70's vibe and feel, especially for New York City and & Harlem back then.

"Across 110th Street", the song, is both well written and beautifully sung in this version - credited to "Bobby Womack and Peace". Bobby Womack is truly a gifted vocalist.
Finally here are the VERY WONDERFUL SONG LYRICS:

"Across 110th Street"
------------------------------
I was the third brother of five,
Doing whatever I had to do to survive.
I'm not saying what I did was all right,
Trying to break out of the ghetto was a day to day
fight.
Been down so long, getting up didn't cross my mind,
I knew there was a better way of life that I was just
trying to find.
You don't know what you'll do until you're put under
pressure,
Across 110th Street is a hell of a tester.

Across 110th Street,
Pimps trying to catch a woman that's weak
Across 110th Street,
Pushers won't let the junkie go free.
Across 110th Street,
Woman trying to catch a trick on the street.
Across 110th Street,
You can find it all in the street.

I got one more thing I'd like to y'all about right now.
Hey brother, there's a better way out.
Snorting that coke, shooting that dope man you're
copping out.
Take my advice, it's either live or die.
You've got to be strong, if you want to survive.

The family on the other side of town,
Would catch hell without a ghetto around.
In every city you find the same thing going down,
Harlem is the capital of every ghetto town.

Across 110th Street,
Pimps trying to catch a woman that's weak
Across 110th Street,
Pushers won't let the junkie go free.
Across 110th Street,
A woman trying to catch a trick on the street, ouh baby
Across 110th Street,
You can find it all in the street.
Yes he can, oh

Look around you, just look around you,
Look around you, look around you, uh yeah

(Great stuff huh?)

MR. BOBBY WOMACK PASSED AWAY IN 2014. RIP TO A GREAT ARTIST

Lyrics:
She drinks wine by the glass, not by the bottle
She ain't stuck on the past, ain't worried about tomorrow
She's a lover, a mother, a sister and wife
She rolls over in the morning to the love of her life
Only smokes one on vacation, says just what she thinks
She don’t need validation or much of anything

I just wanna be her so bad, it hurts so bad, it hurts so
I just wanna be her
I just wanna be her
I just wanna to be her so bad, it hurts so bad, it hurts so
I just wanna be her
I just wanna be her so bad
It hurts so bad

She knows being rich is just a state of mind
She stays talking to Jesus, calls her mama all the time
She don’t over embellish
If she says it, then it's true
I don't mean to sound jealous, but what could I do 'cause

I just wanna be her so bad, it hurts so bad, it hurts so
I just wanna be her
I just wanna be her
I just wanna to be her so bad, it hurts so bad, it hurts so
I just wanna be her
I just wanna be her

Don't want all this drama, give me something real
Trade a mile high to walk one in her heels
Take all my money, everything I have
I just wanna be her, I just wanna be her so bad
It hurts so bad

I just wanna her so bad, it hurts so bad, it hurts so
I just wanna be her
I just wanna be her
I just wanna her so bad, it hurts so bad, it hurts so
I just wanna be her
I just wanna be her

Don't want all this drama, give me something real.
Trade a mile high to walk one in her heels
Take all my money, everything I have

I just wanna be her, I just wanna be her so bad
It hurts so bad
I just wanna be her
I just wanna be her so bad
Yeah it hurts so bad

What Happened To Rah Digga? | Leaving Flipmode Squad, Shelved Second Album & Beef With Busta? Hotney 8 Streams • 3 years ago

Rapper, writer, actress and activist Rah Digga, born Rashia Fisher, is well known as a long-time member of the Flipmode Squad, a hip hop collective led by fellow rapper Busta Rhymes. She parted ways with the group after a nearly decade long run to venture out on her own. Even though she’s been labelled one of rap's most prominent women MCs, her professional journey hasn’t been an easy one and her personal life has also had its share of trials and tribulations.

[Lyrics]

I used to count the stars in the sky
Now I count the ones in your eyes
I used to think that my paradise
Was somewhere waiting on the other side
But you
Take me higher than I've been
Laying hands on my skin
It's true
Nothing compares to you

So tell me why
What good is life
If we're all just waiting to dance in the sky?
I'm already there
Here in your eyes
We climb the gates every time that you lie down next to me
I rest in peace
They say it's better, but how could that be?
If everyone had a love like us
They wouldn't call that place above
Heaven

Waking up to you feels like a 'pinch myself' moment
If we're only here for a while
I wanna spend all of it holding you
Take me higher than I've been
Got me questioning everything I knew
'Cause nothing compares to you

So tell me why
What good is life
If we're all just waiting to dance in the sky?
I'm already there
Here in your eyes
We climb the gates every time that you lie down next to me
I rest in peace
They say it's better, but how could that be?
If everyone had a love like us
They wouldn't call that place above
Heaven

Nothing comes
Nothing comes close to this
Looking up
Looking up even if it exists
My heaven is on your lips
So tell me why
What good is life
If we're all just waiting to dance in the sky?
I'm already there
Here in your eyes
We climb the gates every time that you lie down next to me
I rest in peace
They say it's better, but how could that be?
If everyone had a love like us
They wouldn't call that place above
Heaven
