Check out this new track from Jamie Foxx called “Digital Girl (West Coast Remix).” While there’s a lot to take notice on this track—appearances from the likes of Drake, The Dream, and Kanye West, with several lyrical references to MJ—I wanted to draw your attention to a particular lyric…

“I like them brown, yellow, Puerto Rican, or Persian.”

Persian?? That’s a new one! I would say I’m flattered, but honestly, it’s kind of random. I guess Persian KIND OF rhymes with Puerto Rican.

Honestly, it’s interesting to see how this lyric has morphed over time—from A Tribe Called Quest’s “Electric Relaxation” to Da Brat’s “What Chu Like” to, I’m sure, a whole lot more. Always interesting to consider why certain lyrics stick and others don’t.
