Kirk Franklin and wife Tammy Collins

I’m guessing this pic was when Kirk first started doing his thing with The Family. I love his 90s gospel output.

Its like these news kids not even black. Snoop was like 20 at the same award show as a 50yo+ patty label(among other old heads) n im sure he knew who she was.probly went up to her and showed love. These new nikkas don't even know rappers(same fukking genre) 10-15 years older than them. N saying shyt like if u 30 u lame lol. Even as a young kid i knew all type of black old heads cuz they was like royalty. Ya moms used to clean the crib to them n ya pops used to pick u up blasting them. The generation gap within our culture today is crazy. (No Mal)

Dope thread but makeup back then was so bad

Pure powder on everyone dark skin.

Black females weren't showing toes back then. I wonder why.

 

[Ziggiy]

Mike actually showed up


Meanwhile , the few black pop music icons left usually always snub black award shows

Mike always showed love to the Black Awards shows

Dope thread. I always thought Karyn Parsons was overrated because she was light skinned. Still feel that way.
