A person ( : people) is a being that has certain capacities or attributes such as reason, morality, consciousness or self-consciousness, and being a part of a culturally established form of social relations such as kinship, ownership of property, or legal responsibility.

Silent Assassin
''Silent Assassin'' is an album by the Jamaican musicians Sly and Robbie, released in 1989 via Island Records. Production The album was produced by KRS-One, at the suggestion of Island; it was KRS's desire to make a "commercial" rap album. Queen Latifah and Young M.C., among others, make guest appearances on ''Silent Assassin''. Critical reception ''The Washington Post'' wrote that "the rhythm grooves on ''Silent Assassin'' are deeper, sexier and more melodic than those on almost any other rap record." ''The Globe and Mail'' deemed the album "a tough, articulate, rhythmically powerful blend of modern reggae and rap and hip hop." The ''St. Petersburg Times'' considered "Dance Hall" "arguably the best rap track of 1989." ''Trouser Press'' called it "an ambitious undertaking," writing that "Latifah rules the mic on 'Woman for the Job'." The ''Spin Alternative Record Guide'' thought that it "was scrupulously intelligent and involving, yet it was an '80s-style consolidation instead of ...
