[dj short @_DJShort]

J Dilla instrumental for a D'Angelo & Lauryn Hill track that was supposed to be on Voodoo

Lauryn was also supposed to feature on "Feel Like Makin' Love" but for unknown reasons, neither ended up happening.

[Ms. Lauryn Hill @MsLaurynHill]

People need reflection.

I regret not having more time with you. Your undeniable beauty and talent were not of this world, and a presence not of this world needs protection in a world that covets light and the anointing of God. You sir, moved us, stirred us, inspired and even intimidated others to action with your genius. Thank you for being a beacon of light to a generation and beyond who had no remembrance of the legacy that preceded us. Thank you for charting the course and for making space during a time when no similar space really existed.
You imaged a unity of strength and sensitivity in Black manhood to a generation that only saw itself as having to be one or the other. It is my earnest prayer that you are in peace, far away from selfishness, fear and/or controlling interests. Far from possessiveness, far from greed, far from manipulation, far from exploitation, far from intentionally designed chaos and that you Brother are in peace, in bliss and in eternal light and fulfillment with our Father in heaven. I Love you and I miss you. May God grant peace and shelter to your family, true friends and genuine appreciators, Brother, King.

Y’all, Republicans and conservatives have already won. No matter who wins next week, they won. Not only do they have their elected officials scared of them, they’re able to force Democrats to abandon their own voters to get their votes. Y’all might not like it, but it’s a fact.

Come through this afternoon!

[AshleyStevens @The_Acumen]

If you won’t stop a genocide to get my vote, there’s no reason to believe you’ll pass policies that would materially benefit me and my community. It takes noting to stop sending weapons, it takes everything to pass policies.

To the people of Haiti we are sorry! We are not complacent and we are doing everything within our power to make sure that this Neo colonial project under dictator Ruto is defeated. The imperialist offensive in Haiti shall be humiliated and defeated.
