Today We Honor A Tribe Called Quest

Queens, New York natives Q-Tip, Phife Dawg, Jarobi, and Ali Shaheed Muhammad of Brooklyn, formed A Tribe Called Quest in 1985. The group is one of hip-hop’s most legendary, beloved and revered groups of all time.

Easily recognized for their unique approach to rap music by employing jazz infused soundscapes to Afro centric rhymes, ATCQ was largely responsible for the popularity of a new genre that dominated the East Coast sound of the early 1990s.

Today In History

Gertrude “Ma” Rainey was born in Columbus, GA on this date April 26, 1886. Rainey was an influential blues singer and early blues recording artist.

Dubbed the “Mother of the Blues”, ‘Ma’ Rainey bridged earlier vaudeville and the authentic expression of southern blues, influencing a generation of blues singers.

‘Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom’ is a 1982 play by Pulitzer Prize winner August Wilson-which chronicles Ma Rainey and the 20th-century African-American experience. The play is set in a recording studio in 1920s Chicago, and deals with issues of race, art, religion, sexuality and the historic exploitation of Black recording artists by white producers.

The play has been converted into a film, “Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom” directed by George C. Wolfe and written by Ruben Santiago-Hudson. The film stars Viola Davis, Chadwick Boseman, Glynn Turman, Colman Domingo, and Michael Potts. Streaming now on Netflix.

You know when someone truly love themselves, it shows in how they treat others…Also, how much they hate themselves

Pay attention to how people treat others. That includes you, certain people and more importantly how they treat themselves. Then you will find out what kind of character they have and stop ignoring the signs! Most people know how fucked up they are and the fact that you choose to deal with them is giving desperation which screams to them you’re easy to manipulate because clearly you’re in denial about the obvious…

Sincerely,Tracey

Sista Souljah was so underrated back in the day! She was actually trying to TEACH our People. But we’d rather hear about Prada, money, and coochie! Nothing wrong with that but not 24/7!
