[TEH]

I’m a huge fan

Rest in Power

 

[Tribal Outkast]

Had a chance to meet her a few years ago and she happily showed me her thug life tat when I asked her about it. She was so nice and I was so happy to hear her speak. That was back in my poetry days.. RiP to the Queen

Rest In Power to our Queen. A beautiful soul. I hope we end up doing her legacy proud.

Culture is so dumbed down these days.

What’s the contemporary equivalent to this?

Ta Nehisi Coates speaking to Meg the Stallion?

 

[Squirrel from Meteor Man]

Rest in Peace.

See you think like a cracka

If anything, that'd be a worthwhile endeavor. Two black people- one a breh from PG/Maryland and a sista from Houston area

areas were there's noteworthy black success and visibility and upwardly mobileness

and you talk down on it

but you Canadian, so anything from the lower 48 ain't for you weirdos who stan dictator's but freak out if you see a unloaded .22

You lack reading comprehension and it’s painful to observe.

Name a modern, contemporary equivalent black female poet to Nikki Giovanni. You think Meg the Stallion is her equal?

Ah man we saw her live a few years ago. Beautiful soul. Rip

 

[Bleedin Gums Murphy]

I’ve carrying a book of her poems in my daily bag for months now, just because. Peace to her.

Rest In Power to our Queen. A beautiful soul. I hope we end up doing her legacy proud.

So I was just reading the obit the Washington Post published, and they have several pictures of her with her son as a baby. The obit mentions that she’s never disclosed who the father is, only her son, close family/friends, and “the FBI knows.”

I’ve never seen a picture of her son—nor have I ever invested close attention to her personal life—but when I saw that baby, my impulse thought was: “man, that baby looks like…..”

RIP to a legend.
