Skilla Baby pays homage to Tupac Shakur in the cover art for his upcoming album “The Price of Fame” arriving August 21.
The artwork recreates the 1994 photo of Tupac sitting in a wheelchair just one day after he was shot five times outside Quad Studios in New York, drawing a parallel to Skilla Baby surviving a drive-by shooting in Detroit last May
“His father left when he was 2. He lost his mother to cancer. He was moments away from becoming leader of the free world with no parents. So I took his hand.”
- Michelle Obama’s mother explains why she held Barack Obama’s hand on election night.
This quote describes a widely shared moment from Election Night 2008, often attributed to Michelle Obama’s mother, Marian Robinson, involving her son-in-law, Barack Obama. As the election results confirmed Obama’s victory, Michelle noticed her mother quietly holding his hand tightly.
When asked about the moment afterward, Robinson reportedly looked beyond the historic achievement and saw the person behind it. She understood that Barack was about to become president of the United States while standing on the edge of that moment without either of his parents by his side. His father had left when he was two years old, and his mother had died of cancer in 1995.
The story has continued to circulate as a powerful reminder of the personal emotions behind a historic event — a quiet gesture of support, compassion, and family connection during one of the most significant nights in American history.
One of my favorite things as a kid was going through the manual each time my parents bought me a game. It was the first step in transporting me to those worlds.
I remember picking up GTA3 at the mall with my brother and reading the whole manual on the ride home. Good times 💿
