※ 引述《JuliusErving (搖籃灌籃)》之銘言： : 太經典了 : Black Men United - You will know : http://tw.youtube.com/watch?v=bx48V14NdcQ&feature=related : 有人認得出每一個歌手嗎 ? : 是D'angelo寫的歌不過我找不到D爺貢獻舊文一則… "The leading cause of death among black males between the ages of 15 and 24 is homicide." --Amos Wilson "Black-On-Black Violence" 15到24的黑人男性主要死因來自他殺。 "Over 4 of every 5 black victims of violent crimes identified their assailant as another black person" --Join Center for Political and Economic Studies 五個受到暴力的黑人受害者中，就有四個指出加害者是另一個黑人。 The Week of July 23, 1994, 42 Black Men United to perform the song "U Will Know", dedicating its royalties to charity and its message to PEACE... 這首歌曲"U Will Know"，演唱者是B.M.U. (Black Men United)，類似We Are the World這種臨時的巨星合唱，是1994年的一部黑人電影"Jason's Lyric (傑森之歌）"的主題曲。（導演為"New Jack City"的製作人Doug McHenry）歌曲意念很通俗，就是叫黑人們互相尊重、彼此相愛，即使生活痛苦之類的。有趣的地方當然是在於找來的這群音樂人都是當時年輕一輩的，同時也是D'Angelo初試啼聲的作品，包括詞曲（與弟弟Luther Archer合寫）、製作（與Brian McKnight）。出席的42位黑人音樂人有： Guy的Aaron Hall與Damion Hall After 7 Brian McKnight Christopher Williams D'Angelo El DeBarge Gerald Levert JOE Keith Sweat The Rude Boys的Lil Joe Tony Toni Tone R. Kelly Mint Condition的Stokley Tevin Campbell Usher Al B. Sure! Boyz II Men DRS H-Town Intro Portrait Silk Sovory Lenny Kravitz -- Jason's Lyric，除了主題曲名單嚇死人之外，整張原聲帶裡的參演人員也很豐富。其實在90年代這是蠻常見的，只是以現在的角度來看讓人直流口水。這些原聲帶網路上都算好找，但要看電影的話可能得費一番工夫了。清單如下： Jason's Lyric (1994) Held Up (2000) New Jack City (1991) Panther (1995) Disappearing Acts (2000) The Hurricane (1999) Heavenly Bodies (1984) Two Can Play That Game (2001) Get on the Bus (1996) Dead Presidents (1995) Dead Presidents Vol. II (1996) Bamboozled (2000) A Thin Line Between Love and Hate (1996) HavPlenty (1998) Money Talks (1997) A Low Down Dirty Shame (1995) Sunset Park (1996) Marked for Death (1990) Higher Learning (1995) The 6th Man (1997) Boomerang (1992) In Too Deep (1999) Set It Off (1996) High School High (1996) The Big Hit (1998) Black Mask (1999) Livin' Large!
