Look, we love this song, she's touring with Taylor Swift, used to be in Fifth Harmony, X Factor, blah blah blah
I'm sorry. I can't do this right now. I'm just too excited. We have a domain name now. We're at wickedguilty.com! Now it's going to be easier to find us!!!!
OK, so now I feel bad giving Taylor Swift's new bestie the short end of the stick. Really, that was a fun video, and it's a fun, Latin-tinged song.
So here, enjoy this acoustic version that somewhat proves that Ms. Cabello is really singing this one.
Aquí, para nuestros lectores en español, hay una versión en español ... ok, en spanglish de esta canción. Por qué no pudo traducir "la mitad de mi corazón está en Habana" está más allá de mí, pero una vez más, no soy una gran estrella del pop.

21 June 2018 - Public Enemy - Fight The Power
From the 1989 Spike Lee joint Do The Right Thing, this song transcends the movie, which itself ends in a race riot.
This version of the video (which, yes, Spike Lee was involved with) isn't a real riot or even a rally, but it looks like one. It IS a pretty clear demonstration of the group's political stances in the day. Flavor Flav has moved on to a less political stance where he doesn't say "motherf*** him" about Elvis or John Wayne. The video also featured Tawana Brawley in a cameo appearance - I won't go into her story here except to say that it was a very polarizing one in this community.
It's a great, powerful song - I'd almost say manifesto - that just happens to have been featured in a movie.
