In 1986, Whistle's "Just Buggin'" was everywhere.
But even back then, some Hip Hop purists saw it as lightweight novelty rap, an early example of the never ending 'what is real Hip Hop' debat.
Time has been kind to the record, though. Nearly 40 years later, it's still a beloved old-school classic.
What's your opinion on this joint?
To everyone who helped bring the Obama Presidential Center to life, thank you. Michelle and I are so grateful for all your dedication and hard work over the years.
I got a little teary-eyed tonight thinking about my mother-in-law, Marian Robinson.
What I looked like the last time the @NYKnicks won a championship.

I’m glad I got back to writing last month, because I just picked up some editorial work I was offered because they ‘need my POV and voice.’ The brand is strong.
It’s Stroke Awareness Month, and I gotta say, I didn’t even feel my stroke but the real pain had been the aftermath. I’ve been through a lot and this has been the hardest thing to come back from. And I’m ‘young’.
I've got an EMMY AWARD WINNING doc out called #KilandtheKids about the work I do in DC with my teens. We're trying to set up screenings & discuss about how to work with teens! So peep it & if you enjoy it please RT so we can get more eyes on this!

Today’s Supreme Court decision effectively guts a key pillar of the Voting Rights Act, freeing state legislatures to gerrymander legislative districts to systematically dilute and weaken the voting power of racial minorities - so long as they do it under the guise of “partisanship” rather than explicit “racial bias.” And it serves as just one more example of how a majority of the current Court seems intent on abandoning its vital role in ensuring equal participation in our democracy and protecting the rights of minority groups against majority overreach.
The good news is that such setbacks can be overcome. But that will only happen if citizens across the country who cherish our democratic ideals continue to mobilize and vote in record numbers - not just in the upcoming midterms or in high profile races, but in every election and every level.
