The song was produced by Rob Base, DJ E-Z Rock, and William Hamilton and built around the Think break sample and other elements from Lyn Collins' 1972 song "Think (About It)." Rhonda Parris was brought in by Profile Records to sing the hook. video https://youtu.be/phOW-CZJWT0?si=7HGpgSzfprK6NAJz LYRICS Right about now, you're about to be possessed By the sounds of MC Rob Base and DJ, EZ Rock It takes two to make a thing go right It takes two to make it outta sight It takes two to make a thing go right It takes two to make it outta sight I wanna rock right now I'm Rob Base and I came to get down I'm not internationally known But I'm known to rock the microphone Because I get stupid, I mean outrageous Stay away from me if you're contagious 'Cause I'm the winner, no, I'm not a loser To be an M.C. is what I choose-a Ladies love me, girls adore me I mean even the ones who never saw me Like the way that I rhyme at a show The reason why, man, I don't know So let's go, 'cause It takes two to make a thing go right It takes two to make it outta sight It takes two to make a thing go right It takes two to make it outta sight My name is Rob, I gotta real funky concept Listen up, 'cause I'm gonna keep you in step I got an idea that I wanna share You don't like it?

The problem with perception is how important it is financially. If you are black in the usa and you view the black populace in the usa as home, then regardless of the condition of the home, you expect a path to excellence, but here lies the problem, Fiscal activity in an antagonistic environment toward you while supportive to others isn't equal so embracing said place as home is like accepting a prison as a home. How is living in prison financially wise? URL https://aalbc.com/tc/topic/12748-made-in-china-why-is-it-considered-usa-adversary/#findComment-81602 MY COMMENT @Troy this is a lie, i am fortunate enough to communicate to chinese who live in china, tiktok and the greater social emdia is very popular there, you like many others forget, china has near two billion people. yes, a section of those people are all engineers, in the same way a section of northern italy is the most technologically advanced community on earth in the same way, a section of populace in the usa is very educated... but the majority is not the minority in any country, this extends to brasil, india, russia, all countries today from the fiscal poorest like a somalia or hait rto the wealthiest like a sweden china usa monaco have a majority that is poor and not as positive compared to aminority that is advantageous and has alot f positive metrics. who is WE ? are native americans in the usa a part of WE? are black descended of enslaved people who have been in an unhappy antagonist environment their entire lives, whose parents and parents parents and parents ^3 and parents ^4 and parents ^5 and parents ^6 who lived their entire lives in an unhappy antagonist environment a part of WE in the past or currently? I comprehend the black people in the usa or english colonies that preceded it for their views, the JAmes Forten disease. James Foten, Clarence Thomas, Yourself Troy, Frederick Douglass all @ProfD all have this USA is home view points, regardless of the condition of a majority of black people in modernity or historically, for all of you, the usa is home and regardless of how many other black people oppose that view or their reasoning you keep making public Declarations of unity for the black populace in the usa with the only view forward being a hope that one day it will be functionally true. Profd your being too short. the gaslighting is global. during the war bettween ussr + usa, people in the ussr saw photos of new york city's downtown manhattan and said that is the usa. they didn't see the whole regions of the south without running water.. People in africa to this day still run to france, but don't realize the banliues of the big cities like paris are run down and decrepit n different than the slums of lagos or joberg. all the countries are crap: usa/russia/china/england/japan and all other countries including israel/haiti/iran/ singapore.. all countires today have a majority of mostly fiscally poor unhappy people in an antagonist environment that are lorded by a fiscally potent , militaristically dominant minority. the only difference between the minrorities is who can be the bigger bully. COMMENTARY AFTER 05242026 https://aalbc.com/tc/topic/12748-made-in-china-why-is-it-considered-usa-adversary/#findComment-81610 @ProfD war is ridiculous? no... peace side war will always exist, neither is good or bad, either take infinite forms, and neither ever end. based on your logic every prisoner in a prison should be trying to escape. Doing something to attempt to force change does not deny the quality of environment warrants a negative critique. it is natural for all species, all children of earth to be fruitful and multiply no matter the environment, to restate, being fruitful or multiplying has no relationship to the quality of environment, humans ... all species/children of earth will do that as long as they exist. no it isn't , a sport, whether chess or basketball, by default, never has the consequences or prosequences that war or peace has. 05262026 https://aalbc.com/tc/events/event/738-who-is-we-and-the-international-parity/?tab=comments#findComment-17 Nothing is eating at me. In the forum I have always said the black populace in the usa is a collection of tribes, disimilar from each other , which is a heritage, what is carreid from the very infancy of the usa. James Forten was a business owner, black, fought alongside whites colonist who aided or abetted in the enslavement of black people , to initialize the usa. Harry Wahsington was enslaved to george washington, James Forten's general and leader, and fought against the creation of the USA and lef tto Nova Scotia and then to Sierra Leone. The ninety percent of black people enslaved to white colonists who remained enslaved after the usa was initialized. who i am 100% certain hated whites and the usa as James BAldwin admitted to his father, who retained said black folsk dislike of whites and dislike of the usa or absent desire to be part of the usa, . I paraphrase, my father never once spoke ill or attacked a white man and hated white people to the bone to the day he died. And Frederick Douglass, Clarence Thomas, Michelle Obama, Clarence Williams, STanley Couch , You , Michael Jordan are all in the spirit of James Forten. That is ok. No crime, but I must admit that there is no WE in the black populace in the usa, and never was, and i think it is important, because it is the truth. And i think the truth is always warranted. 05252026 MY ENLARGED THOUGHT From what I have seen of Douyin, I don't see it as different, same service, there are creators and interesting people but there are also influencers and conspiracy folk and various other neagtive online agents on there. I don't see any difference. Tiktok is merely a continuation of DOuyin. all websites with a global structure have aregional customizations. Nothing is eating me, it is simply a truth of the populace of Black people in the usa whose forebears were enslaved. in the usa or the english colonies that preceded it. You, frederick Douglass, clarence thomas, James Forten, millions of other black people are not mirrors to each other, but you all share a few traits all of you are in the usa because your person or your forebears were forced to these lands by whites as british colonies or the usa itself. all of you have chosen to view the usa as your home regardless of the condition of the majority, the most, of black people in the usa or the english colonies that preceded it , in which said condition is hell by white terror. all of you reject in some form or fashion any black descended of enslaved philosophy that doesn't match your allegiance to the usa : forten rejected by arms the anti white colonist position of black people enslaved to whites or black people who fought against white colonist fighting aside white europeans , each against the idea of the usa , Frederick Douglass or Clarence Thomas or You , Troy, reject by prose the Black people who through their actions or words are stateless while living in the usa. All three of you and the many other blacks like you, suggest any black person in the usa that doesn't claim the usa as home as false in their thinking. You may find it an insult to be philosophically aligned to Clarence thomas in parts, but you are. And both of you are aligned to frederick douglass. Forten literally shed blood the white colonist who enslaved nearly all the black people who fought alongside said white colonist ot make the usa begin. That's you TROY! Frederick Douglass spoke ill of the exodusters because these are black people who would never trust whites, spoke ill in various tones or strengths of black peole who fled to jamaica/haiti/ anywhere they could to get as far away from the usa or the whites of the usa. That is you TROY! Clarence Thomas calls the usa home and regardless of the condition of black people does so. That is you TROY! and many others. I am not criminalizing you Troy, you may think I am. I mention James Forten to explain that Black people who call the usa home have always existed these two hundred and fifty years or more. My point is that Black people who don't call the usa or the english colonies it came form home have existed just as long. The two heritages are of a people who never wanted to be in these lands of the FIRST peoples, commonly called native americans. But the two heritages the two tribes can never be a WE. and the use of that word WE is the problem. James Forten wasn't in a WE with Stephen Bluke. Frederick Douglass wasn't in a WE with MArcus Garvey. Garvey was never jamaican. he left jamaica because it wasn't a home. He told black people to leave the usa cause it isn't a home. Home for Garvey is the correct definition. Home isn't a place where you live. If that is the case, a prison is a home. The slave plantation is a prison for Black people. the sharecropped land is a prison. Black urban regions are prisons. Garvey saw home not as a place that needed to be changed, but a place that loves you without you needing to do a thing. This is why so few children have a home, they live in a residence with their parents, but too few children in humanity are home. Home don't need to be improved. Home don't need to be changed. Garvey comprehended this But Forten, Douglass, Clarence Tomans, you, all feel home is a place that needs to be worked on to be bettered. so for all of you , home can be a prison, a hell hole, but by you living there it is home. Ok, I don't mind. Again, James Forten to me is the patron saint of the black statian, the black person whose forebears were enslaved who calls the USA home. a business man through all the uneven of negatively biased challenges setup by whites, a peaceful integrationist to whites, which is mandatory, embracing the usa at its very infancy even though he knew most black people hated the whites in these lands and hated these lands. But that is allegiance, that is devotion, that is claiming the usa for oneself as a Black DOSer. OK, but no WE exist in the black populace. And with the coming of the willing black immigrant of modernity in huge numbers it is to your tribe in the villages advantage even. As a female member of the forum once said, she likes the black immigrants, and it makes perfect sense to me. Whereas many, historically most, Black DOSers will always be anti white + anti usa, black immigrants in modernity have chosen to come to the usa. they have nothing they can complain about. All DOSers including even James Forten can always say, I didn't want to be here, because our forebears were forced to these lands and time will never change that. You see my position as insult. I simply see a proper labeling of the collective condition of the black populace in the usa which I argue is needed. I think too few black children... in all humanity in all earnest, but i will stick to the usa, are not told the truths that black adults know. The UA has always been anti black. I can't recall how many black adults admit this, even to black children. yes JAmes Forten's have always existed, but the majorty of black peple enslaved has too. Tell black children they will have to embrace the usa to change it, but explain to them what that means, that means embracing whites, which they may not want to do. Explain to black children that the black populace of the usa is full of so many different typs of black people that it is not simple gathering us together because we don't want the same things. I have never liked the usa, or embraced it as a home, it has never been a home. My interactions with law enforcement alone is enought o prove that. But, while I have my own plans and ways, I am not a prosyletizer. I am not looking for people to join me. The black people i know, some personally , others as personal acquaintance, who left the usa to live in various parts of the caribbean, south america, france, africa, prove that many more black DOSers I dont't know make the journey away from the usa. Some find a home. Some simply settle for another place to lay their head that isn't a home. But, black people are not a WE 05082026 https://aalbc.com/tc/events/event/738-who-is-we-and-the-international-parity/?tab=comments#findComment-19 @Troy I didn't ignore your words, but i have nothing to say on that. I am not here to proselytize . I despise proselytizers. That issue is at the simple point of you have your source of information and I have mine. You have stated your conclusion to what you know, I stated mine. what more is there to say? I can't think of anything. I am not interested in changing your mind. so... if you want to call my muteness on that topic being ignorant, that is your choice, but I can accept when nothing can be said anymore by me. I don't always, but i do sometimes. I do think all of said people in said list, have a common speech/position regardless of the variousness in other thinkings. It is a conflation as all of said folk in my view, share a common idea. and an idea that matters in the larger context of the black populace in the usa or the european colonies that preceded it. what does it mean to be human? well ok, I comprehend your position. I can say that 100% 05282026 Who is We? and the International Parity - RMCommunityCalendar - African American Literature Book Club @Troy a liar isn't based on deliberation, it is based on function. A liar is someone who lies whether they intend to or not. It interesting that you think a liar is only one who wants to deceive . As for what you keep linking to , I refute that as evidence of change between douyin and tiktok . But I am not in the mood to explain. You believe what you want, and I am not interested in changing your mind to anything. And lastly , there is no need for sorry for I was not rude, i was truthful and the truth hasn't changed. it isn't false, i explained how you are all the same and it is the truth. You may dislike or oppose it, but it is the truth . And nothing has disproven it. All of you have shared the same prose that proves what aspect of each of you is the same. But again, I am not interested in proselytizing. You reject it, ok. No problem, but there is nothing to talk about IT isn't a disagreement. I never said any of you or those like you from the past or in the future don't have the right to call the usa home. My point is those who don't call the usa home whose forebears have been enslaved have always existed , like me, as well, and have as equal a right to their position. And as said two groups have a deep problem historically in making a collective action by blacks, it is problematic that black people like you keep saying things like the following land stronger, again, that is the language of proselytization. My arugment is the truth, it isn't about changing minds or landing stronger or proving to those who disagree/dislike it . that is what you think, interesting. Again, black people like you who call the usa their home from james forten to you to those in the future, keep suggesting black people who don't have some ignorance or dysfunctional position. No nation/country or government started exists absent the complete plethora of human life, which range from the most positive to the most negative. This is about calling a place home. this isn't about the existence or nonexistence of strife , which in my mind has nothing to do with calling a place home. Not australia.

For me , no character of fiction is locked into one way, imagination gives any artist the chance to find a way to change any character, because your imagination allows you to make yur own version of any character. Will your version be financially successful... I don't know, financial success in the arts is not an exact science. When Toulouse LAutrec made money with his art when alive but more came later in appreciation. Jean Michel Basquiat made money but died giving his art away for free , now decades later art he gave away for free near the time of this death that the art market suggested had little to no financial value is now worth millions each. Fragonard was very successful with his adult themed paintings when alive but after his death was cast out only until late 1900s and beyond gave his work more appreciation. so... the ability to regale isn't set ins tone, it isn't a matter of work rate, audiences, viewers, customers, the public have the right to simply not like your work today and love it tomorrow or love your work today or hate it tomorrow. But I do think artistic objectives can be achieved in manipulating any story to a particular theme or style. STeven Barnes made a post about John Carter of Mars by Disney and made the following comments , the first the initial reply and the others temporally in sequence to replies to mine. LINK the shadow/the phantom/john carter / tintin I think a long list of films exist that aren't bad but the film going customer needed a preview. Marvel + DC + harry potter+ Twilight + Dune+Lord of the rings all had tv shows or comics or multiple media forms not movies in theaters that prepared the movie theater going audience for the films, which is needed when a ticket isnt affordable. If ticket prices were affordable I think all of those film would had better fiscal reception. .. My biggest issue was in preproduction the storyboard artists or writers didn't realize LINK Kathy Lehman haha well the original radio program was cheesy, but sincere and the movie is sincere too. LINK Steven Barnes That is cool you figure a way for tarzan today, i see a way to do phantom or shadow today. Though to your original post theme, i do think all three need marketing care, wise production . Need quality direction from an efficient director . it isn't just a good screenplay from you or me:) that will do it. None of these properties are like a star wars or marvel where they are present and strong in media before a movie comes out. LINK Steven Barnes to the phantom, the inherited hero aspect of the phantom is the tool to break out of the negative biases, white saviordom, in its creation and majority history. Yes , the phantom was made with pure white savior mythos, but within the story it has a great way to fit beyond said limitation and not sideline the history of the character. LINK Steven Barnes yes the cultural point of the original creator of the phantom , lee falk, or the audience he created for, would vanish with my version, but that is why it would be my work. Rich Murray's phantom, based on falk, but not falk's LINK Steven Barnes I will answer the questions in reverse order. MY experience as an artist has taught me never to assume to know how to capture audiences for sure. But I always hope to capture them. 🙂 My Phantom's change is simple but influences the entire storyline. My change is to make the phantom older than kit walker. In Falk's version the phantom starts with Kit Walker. this lineage of white men of europe who save colored folk and others. In my version the phantom is from an ancient lineage from Africa itself, started by a Black man in the ancient predecessor to Bengali about the indian ocean coast somewhere[thus afro asiatic] . Now what has to be added because of this? The first phantom around the time of kemet passed it down to his first son, but also had other children. And over the thousands of years, the bloodline of the original phantom is now global , and has members of every phenotypical race in all parts of the world, but all in the bloodline don't know it. A group of descendents were started by the second son of the first phantom from kemet to catalog and keep the record of the lineage of the phantom and manage the phantom, including killing the phantom if need be. To kit walker, a phantom died without an heir sometime before pirates killed his father and he crashlanded on the shores of bengali A member of the second son's descendents notices kit and checking the records see's that he is a descendent of the first phantom. After Kit, who is negatively biased towards blacks makes the vow. The descendent of the second son invites him to become the phantom. What is the point? the phantom has always been a hero, the ghost who walks, but has not always been culturally the same. In my version, the phantom before kit walker was a black man who had a huge negative bias to whites. But still aided white people at times in a condensending way. Kit walker , albet condescending to blacks still saves lives including black people. To your first question, my phantom is still a legacy hero like falk's but unlike falk's my phantom is a greater legacy as complicated or complex in membership as humanity itself, while it has a more interesting stewardship in the descendents of the second son of the first phantom, preserving this hero, who can't stop all crimes or keep all safe, and has never tried to stop all crimes or keep all safe, but consistently does good no matter who bears the name.

James Forten who is certified real, unlike Crispus Atticks, is important because whenever a black person in the usa claims to have connection to the united states of america from its infancy , they can point to james forten. But, two key points must be comprehended alongside James Forten. James Forten was a big representative of blacks who fought for the creation of the usa WHILE blacks who fought for the creation of the usa was the smallest minority in the black populace in the european colonies that would become the usa. The black populace in the english colonies had three groups. Black enslaved to white= 90% majority, these are a blend of black people who hate whites to the core, are afraid of whites to the core, while have no desire t exist aside whites. Segregationist + Seperatist. Not merely wanting distance from whites segregation, they want a wall to blockade any merger , seperatist. Black free folk who fought against the creation of the usa- 8% minority, black folk who are free or have recently escaped enslavement who don't like or trust whites, but have a particular distaste for whites in the usa and will aid whites from europe against whites from the usa, with the promise of freedom. At the end of the war of cessation from the british empire, britain was able to get these people to freedom, though many were recaptured or enslaved by whites throughout the larger battlefield. Black free folk who fought for the creation of the usa- 2% minority , people like James Forten. What is my point? From the war of 1812 to the war between the states, most black people have an anti white + anti usa position in the usa or the european colonies that preceded. Black people in the usa to our forever dishonor, keep presenting our history as akin to willing immigrants whether they be black or non black.

And should we not then enjoy the same liberty and be protected by the same laws? ♪ Some consider us as much property as a house or a ship and think how anxious we must be to raise ourselves from this degrading state. James Forten. Narrator: James Forten was born free in Philadelphia. At 9, he had been in the crowd at the Pennsylvania State House that heard the Declaration of Independence read to the public for the very first time. Forten took the promise of the Declaration to heart and never questioned whether its self-evident truths applied to him. ♪ Now, in the summer of 1781, Forten was 14, old enough to fight for his country. With his mother's permission, he went down to the docks, signed on to a privateer, and set out to sea. Forten was one of 20 men and boys of color in a crew of 200. For privateers eager to attract volunteers, race was no barrier. ♪ His first voyage was a triumph, but the second was a disaster. His ship was overtaken and captured by a British warship. ♪ Once aboard, the captain's son befriended him, and the captain offered to release him if he were willing to sail with the boy to England. Forten refused. He could not turn his back on his country. The art is from Portrait of Forten, c. 1834, by Robert Douglass Jr.[ WIKI https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Forten
