Thank YOU for coming out and sharing your gift. Good night, Whitney. We will always love you.
Omar must have heard me asking bout him the other day. And he teases me like THIS! Presume this was taken after D’Angelo’s London show.
Man listen. A collabo, recorded jam session, tour…something! Music Gods, hear my cry!

Beautiful image, but I cannot get down with this version of hip-hop history. Only Roxanne Shante made it, because apparently women did not
existinnovate in hip hop? Let me be constructive, some suggestions: Sha Rock; MC Lyte; Salt n Pepa; Monie Love. That’s just the 1980s. When it comes to the ’90s there are so many that I can’t list them all, nor hyperlink the first that come to mind: Bahamadia, Lil Kim, Foxy Brown Missy Elliott, Latifah, Jean Grae, Trina, Rah Digga, Left Eye … Lauryn Hill.In short, stop rewriting history and writing women out. No ‘it was unconscious’ excuses: just come better.
