[soulshadow55]

Love this poem!!! I've got the Love Jones CD and the video - I listen to Larenz sometimes as I take my evening walks - it's so cool and hip. It reminds me of the old beat poets of the 1960's. Love the movie - we need more and better written black romantic comedies and love stories - like this one. Love Jones was soooo good.

[antigoniem06]

[AssassinoftheSound17]

yo dis poem is sexy

[royjam]

oshun is a goddess or spirit of love in African, latin and Caribbean cultures

[daphnechase]

love this movie. much love to the beautiful lisa carson I was watching devil in the blue dress and decided 2 google her to see what happen to her since ally mcbeal. i found out she has Schizophrenia i hope that's a rumor but if it's not i hope she's able to get better.

[cpeezie]

What in the FLOOD PUCK is Yemaya or Oshun!?!? I've ALWAYS wanted to know what in the world he was talkin' about!!! Somebody help me out.

[Africanmistress29]

I don't know about Yemaya, but Oshun (sometimes spelt as Osun) is a Yoruba deity in Nigeria.

[kdbrown1385]

Sorry I meant to reply about Yemaya and not Oshun. Yemaya is the "mother goddess" or "goddess of the earth and sea".

[Africanmistress29]

I think it's cool that you responded to Osun, I wasn't being specific :). Thanks for sharing your info about Yemaya. I've wondered about the meaning for a while.

[kdbrown1385]

Oshun is also another african goddess. google her name you'll find lots of info. I think she's the goddess of beauty.

[timtopx]

It's YEMOJA and Osun. They are both river goddesses originating from Yoruba folkore. This influence has spread to Latin America and the Carribean as mentioned by royjam.

[crazy729]

I agree

[koolymoskool]

I made a neo-soul Booty getting CD and started it off with this, Then right after it is Soul Sista by Bilal. No matter how many times a woman hears it, It never gets old. I got every neo-soul song that touches a womans soul, From artist like Eryka Badu, DeAngelo, Sweetest Thing by Lauren Hill and the list goes on. Fellas make you one of these CDs I promise you it'll best move you made. And to top it off, Smoke a fat ass strawberry Blunt and then commence to fucking

[CBrezzy93]

Larenz Tate is to sexy for words i love this movie it's a CLASSIC!!!

[DFWOODSII]

"Come on Slim"!

[ediy1710]

Larenz Tate. Damn....

[ManieB88]

DAMN!!! Talk about getting all hot and bothered!!

[nickcarterismylife]

Thanks so much for uploading this! Larenz is so hot! He has that voice that you could listen to for hours.

[redfiresdesires]
