this, M Latifah simply likes to think the best man and woman won "When I'm not working, I make beats in songs as a hobby "That's a crushing thing to tell a kid I'm always going to be music first Music Remains 1st Love for Queen Latifah Mar 5, 12:59 PM EST Queen Latifah seems to have flip-flopped from singer-who-moonlight s-as-an-actor to movie-star-who-dabbl es-in-music " Halle Berry and Denzel Washington both won, the first time black actors swept the top acting prizes ' But she trusted me, and I stuck with it, and it worked She was hunting for a tag to set her apart from the many rappers adopting the initials "M " In between, there were a couple of scrapes with the law " Latifah also launched her own record label â€â€? among her first acts was the Grammy-winning rap group Naughty By Nature â€â€? and management company, Flavor Unit Entertainment "I think as long as there's racism in America, there's always going to be racism, period And that there will be people who will come against you just on those two reasons, those two facts Some viewed Berry and Washington's wins as a sign that Hollywood finally was making a fair share of choice roles available to blacks Emil Wilbekin of Vibe magazine calls her "one of the foremothers of female rap Her wide musical influences included jazz, rock, soul, gospel, doowop and reggae, along with movie musicals Latifah," she said "I had kind of been kicking around `Queen' because I thought all women should carry themselves as queens, and if they felt that way about themselves, they wouldn't go for half the things they do "I think she kind of represented real women, instead of the music-industry, cookie-cutter version of the female rapper that, and I didn't want to be known as M "Chicago" was a chance to emulate screen idols such as Bing Crosby, Bob Hope, Gene Kelly and Danny Kaye in musicals that Latifah, whose given name is Dana Owens, watched growing up in New Jersey That's just what I do "I guess I've been putting in my work, and people have kind of been waking up slowly," she said She came onto the project early, helping to shape the script Y C "But personally, nah N "My mother was like, `Queen? Who the queen? You're 17 I don't really look at it as everything has changed That sounds good "But it's not the kind of thing I held on to, like, OK, we've made it "And that you're a female, so you're going to have to work twice as hard She made her first mark as a rapper recording singles in her late teens, when she added "Queen" to her stage name " "I think 'Set It Off' really showed everyone a different side of Queen Latifah, because she played a bad woman," Wilbekin said So I was like, yeah, queen In a separate case, she pleaded no contest in January to reckless driving being this sort of Nubian queen, and being very strong," said Wilbekin " When choosing movie roles, Latifah, who turns 33 this month, is drawn to tuneful projects Others saw it as an aberration " earned her a Grammy for best solo rap performance In "Bringing Down the House," Latifah plays a brassy prison escapee who upends the life of an uptight attorney (Martin), whom she enlists to clear her name " "A lot of her music was very motivational, very grass roots, and she really took on this whole role as C As long as there's classism, then there's going to be classism across the board, which can translate into racism So things like musicals were places you could escape to " "Once you start getting worldly enough, your mind develops enough for you to understand when your mother has that conversation about you being black, and that you're going to have to work twice as hard," Latifah said Or get on the guitar and play the two strings that I can and come up with a melody I'm the damn queen I And she wrote the inspirational memoir "Ladies First: Revelations of a Strong Woman Musicals were a welcome refuge for a girl whose parents divorced and whose tender nature prompted a cousin to nickname her "Latifah," an Arabic word meaning "sensitive" or "delicate And they would feel prideful, respected " She made her movie debut in Spike Lee's "Jungle Fever" in 1992, starred in the sitcom "Living Single" and was host of a syndicated TV talk show But Latifah hopes to return to musical mode later this spring with her first album in five years T "Your little hand, you've got to keep knocking on them, knocking, knocking, knocking, till they finally say, `What the hell is that?' and take a look She had a scene-stealing role in last year's hip-hop romance "Brown Sugar " "Everybody was M "Publicly, I would probably seem like I'm more an actress now than singer," she said in an interview They wouldn't allow people to just treat them any kind of way There's her Academy Awards nomination for supporting actress in the musical "Chicago," and her first big-screen lead role, in the comedy "Bringing Down the House," co-starring Steve Martin Other movie credits include "Set It Off," in which she played a bank robber, and "Living Out Loud Some people will pick up a book or a magazine, read or watch TV or go to the movies In 1996, she pleaded guilty to carrying a loaded firearm in a vehicle and driving without a valid license "That was a real turning point for her because everyone thought of her as the big sister or the good friend " Latifah, who played "Chicago's" opportunistic prison matron, was the lone black acting nominee for this year's Oscars, after three black actors earned nominations last year Three more records followed in the '90s, and the single "U I'll go in the studio in my house and just make a beat We've arrived The title, "First Love," says it all about how she views her career priorities " And for "Bringing Down the House," on which she is also an executive producer, she contributed a song and recorded a bonus track for the CD soundtrack I'm proud of what we did with `Chicago Her Oscar nomination caps a 10-year slow build to gain clout as an actress C ' So I'm just going to go and enjoy the moment, you know?" Her ascent to Oscar-caliber performer began with church choir gigs and school plays as a child I appreciate the nomination It's just in my heart C " With her Afrocentric garb and regal presence, Latifah launched her career with the album "All Hail the Queen" in 1989 "I looked at it as they both deserved those awards," she said In both incidents, she was ordered to pay a fine and sentenced to probation To introduce your child to the fact that you live in a world of racism is tough Chief Executive Officer Amy Trask, a fan of the NBC show, has hired Nick Warnock, 27, to sell 143 luxury suites at the Oakland Coliseum " Warnock flew from Los Angeles to the team's Alameda headquarters Thursday for an interview "At first he was dubious, but when we saw on his Web site that he had a football background (he played high school and college football), it seemed like a great idea " Warnock, a native of New Jersey, was among 16 candidates on "The Apprentice" who competed for a high-paying job with Trump Although his salary and benefits are still being negotiated, Trask said Warnock has agreed to work for the team this season "I called someone else in our office equally addicted to the show and told him, `I want to hire this guy to sell suites,'" Trask said "Who hasn't heard of the Raiders, the Autumn Wind, the Silver and Black? It's as recognizable as the Yankees Raiders Hire 'Apprentice' Nick Warnock May 7, 6:58 PM EST A former Xerox copier salesman who made it to the final episodes of Donald Trump's hit reality show, "The Apprentice," has been hired by the Oakland Raiders â€â€? but not to play football "This is one of the greatest organizations in the country," Warnock said Trask said she was impressed by Warnock's salesmanship on the show and noted that many people, including Trump, complimented his ability to close a deal In the last episode, Trump hired Internet entrepreneur Bill Rancic, who will oversee the construction of a 90-story building project in Chicago |
