  1. "No Black Person Is Ugly" is a song by American rapper Lil B, released on his 2014 mixtape Ultimate Bitch. The song was released with its accompanying music video on July 30, 2014, prior to the mixtape's release on October 14, 2014. The song received a critical acclaim from music publishers and was included on year-end lists.
    "No Black Person Is Ugly" is a hip hop song and samples Hungarian jazz guitarist Gábor Szabó's "Magical Connection", originally composed by Alex North. The song features "a relatively traditional flow," compared to Lil B's other works.
    The song's lyrics deal with race and identity in present-day America. It explores Lil B's condemnations and criticisms of "police brutality, beauty standards found on magazine covers, and the knot-in-stomach self-loathing that he sees as an intentional media construct," The lyrics, which touch upon "how far the media has to go in its representations of African-American people in pop culture," alternate between his "black power declarations and his appeals for global solidarity against racism, rape, and all such violence." The song delivers its a positive message through its hook: "No black person is ugly, don’t say it one time."
