Press Release Summary = Is Britney Spears still a princess when the make up is off?
Not if you believe the lyrics to the new hip hop song \'Black Princess\' where the
artist referred to Britney Spears as plain ugly.

Press Release Body = "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
Serena, Serena, ...............


Outro:

Look pon dem
Beautiful Black woman dem
India Arie, I got a crush on you
I wanna put this African touch on you
Run this African truck in you
Work for a hour and bust in you
Bust inyou, bust I you, bust in you
