Before Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat on a

Before Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat on a bus in Montgomery, Alabama in 1955, there was a brave 15-year-old who refused to sit at the back of the bus.

Her name is Claudette Colvin. She challenged the driver touting her constitutional rights to remain seated near the middle of the vehicle.

She was subsequently arrested and was the first woman to be detained for her resistance. Although her story is not as well know as Parks', she is known as an American pioneer of the 1950s civil rights movement.

When The Chronic was released, it was hailed by ma

When The Chronic was released, it was hailed by many critics as a masterpiece, and "Nuthin' But a 'G' Thang" was among the best selling singles of 1993. The song is powerful and features a sample from "I Wanna Do Something Freaky to You."

The song gave a familiar feel for fans of 1970s music, and channeled a decade heavy with pro-black artists and music, represented by Parliament, Roberta Flack, Marvin Gaye, Barry White, Smokey Robinson, and Stevie Wonder.

Perhaps above all, the song was a perfect fit for cruising in a car or hanging out at a party. It appealed to a mass audience, which was a huge departure from other gangsta rap.
