The noise. The message. The movement.
Public Enemy took the ESSENCE Festival stage with a powerful performance that reminded us why their music still resonates decades later.
PASTOR LORAN LIVINGSTON (@CentralChurchNC): “There has never been a Christian nation, and never will be. You don’t live in one now. A Christian nation wouldn’t have killed and displaced 20 million Native Americans, or thought owning slaves was pleasing to God.”
On this day, in 1986, @JanetJackson, scored her first no.1 Pop album with Control. At the age of 20, she became the youngest artist since Stevie Wonder to reach no. 1. This feat also made Michael and Janet the first siblings to have no. 1 Pop albums.
If you only knew how many times we’ve watched Ryan Destiny absolutely smash this choreography.
Tonight’s tribute was choreographed by the iconic choreographer and friend of Aaliyah, Fatima Robinson. #ESSENCEFEST
This is our tribute to the legacy of Aaliyah Dana Haughton.
Let’s take it back to 1994, when we first met Baby Girl.
To begin this celebration and give our flowers to a true icon, Mýa takes the stage to perform the song that introduced Aaliyah to the world: “Back & Forth.”

Ex NFL player, Brandon Marshall LOSES IT & STANDS OVER Channing Crowder & Ochocinco during a podcast debate to incorrectly claim that only 4 guys on an NBA team have fully guaranteed contracts.
"There's 4 guys on the NBA team that have guaranteed contracts and everyone else can be cut today and don't got nothing! Look it up!" 😳
Ochocinco gets sick & tired of BMarsh being factually wrong so he STOOD UP & SNAPPED BACK! 🤯
Guest, Andre Johnson’s face froze in shock as BMarsh almost popped a blood vessel over this.
