Da Brat for SMOOTH Magazine #8 (2003).
The tomboy from So So Def pulled up in a whole different vibe for her first glam cover and shocked everybody.
Funkdafied forever. 🖤
What a misleading headline. Zimbabwe donated food to Mophato Volunteers, who are working at the border between Zim and Bots.. They left their homes years ago to be at the borders to help in issues like stock theft. Zimbabwe was appreciative and donated the food to them
Zimbabwe donated 10 Tonnes of food supplies to Botswana to assist communities in the drought-prone Bobirwa District, in a move highlighting cooperation and solidarity between the two neighbouring countries.
Nas is helping make sure hip-hop’s pioneers are finally being compensated for the value they brought to the culture.
Through the Paid in Full Foundation, legends like Rakim, Scarface, Grandmaster Caz, Roxanne Shanté and Kool Moe Dee have received major financial awards alongside recognition for their contributions.
The goal isn’t recovering old royalties, it’s creating real financial support for artists who helped build hip-hop but never benefited from its billions the way later generations did.
That’s what giving legends their flowers looks like. 🌹
