@MrChuckD After the Knicks Parade, I headed up to Harlem. To my delight, DJ Hollywood was playing classics at the Row House. As I stood there listening to the music, the words to every song had me in a chokehold! Back then was a great time to be alive! #ImAPioneer

@polo_man404 #Lyricismmatters. When I met Ra and wanted to give him his just due, he saw the tshirt and said, “Deb, I got to give it to you first”! PS - in a world of controversy, not one person here disagreed on Ra’s greatness; salute! #ImAPioneer

@WUTangKids That’s wild! And all I got was a sign! 🤣

@Coopz___ They let them in on that side. Across the street, they did not! Here’s how the street looked. Thousands of people standing behind me on Church never saw the parade! SMH! 🧐

@ShegunTweets Samuel L. Jackson. Most movie credits among Black actors. Incredible range. View this on Apple TV. Google Jackson and watch ANY of his movies; never disappoints! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

In @Nas single, Bouquet (To The Ladies), produced by @REALDJPREMIER, he gives a love letter to women, including women in hip hop. In the tribute to “Queens of the Microphone”, you’ll hear, Debbie D. Today, as a compliment to Bouquet, I received a gorgeous bouquet! 🥰#ImAPioneer

@MissyElliott Love this!!! 🤣👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Thanks for the love and encouragement, X Fam! I learned during my pioneering days that education wasn’t a popular subject in hip hop, so I wanted to set a standard! I now have 2 secular & 4 theological degrees, incl. D.Min.! God is good! 🙌🏽🎓 #ImAPioneer

[MC Debbie D, PhD. @MCDebbieD]

God is good! I did it, yall! The Fly Girl Debbie D has earned her (secular) Bachelor Degree! 🙌🏽#TeacherLoading #ImAPioneer #BooksAndBars #HipHopEd
