@lalahhathaway I think you "should" say exactly what the !*$# you wanna say like the free & grown do daily. What I found cringe-worthy were the angry responses to YOU. Some of that phrasing was a lot more telling & emblematic of longstanding cultural divides that get US fucked up every time.

when you decide you want to cover Purple Rain (cause you Love Prince not because you have comparable vocals) - but now, you gone make his song "your own," go so far as to change the key, tempo (everything that made Purple Rain Purple Rain), i have 1 question: Why?

A friendly reminder to take that leap of faith and stop allowing fear to hold you back. You’re more prepared than you may realize.

[Lucky Daye @iamluckydaye]

I love you 🌹🍀

I'm so sad about the news that @tymusic passed away today. He was a huge part in the development of Hip Hop and spoken word in this country. An original no nonsense voice always sharp always witty. todays generation of rappers owe him a lot - a true gate opener. RIP

[Roots Manuva @rootsmanuva]

Rest my Brother. You did good. @tymusic

[Jeliya Griot @Verse2Art]

Heartbroken.

@JaniceWyattRoss Thank you for your empathy. I felt your sincerity and Im smiling typing this response. (P.s. They're being dealt with / I'll leave it at that. *wink*). I am going to get some rest.💜

[Jeliya Griot @Verse2Art]

@tevincampbelll So true...while a lot of "celebrities" (which is an interesting word) go the "the reality show" road, most dont. Reasonable folk understand this. But people with no boundaries dont respect other ppl's either. Some are dumb, too.

[Jeliya Griot @Verse2Art]

@fatbellybella i luh you
i live you

end of commentary, ma

I miss Prince. He was my biggest supporter. Believed in me more than I believed in myself. I wish more male artists with a platform invested in black/brown female artists the way he did. He gave so many artists you know the spotlight when no one was checking for them.

[Jeliya Griot @Verse2Art]

@lalahhathaway fyi...

might ask the lord to just let me go if you ever cover Bofill's, 'I Try' #endoftweet
