A Thousand Words: The Fugees Vs...

Something about this picture stood out to me.


I think it was this...

"Hey Hey Hey/Try to take the crew and we don't play play/
Say say say/ Like Paul McCartney, not hardly/
ODD-ly enough/ I can see right through your bluff/
Niggas huff and they puff but they can't handle us/ WE BUST." - Lauryn Hill ("Oh La-La-La")

They were definitely dope, when they had the spotlight.

Now, the spotlight has transitioned....

No more to be said.

A Thousand Words: [Throwback] NBA Edition

Man, this picture had to be taken like mid 90's b/c everyone looks sooo young. It may not seem like much to tell from this picture but, when you point out each individual there's much to say.

For one, look at Kobe. He just won his 4th championship && is prob. the only one out of this whole picture that has done so. Him & Steve Nash [white guy on the right] are still w/ their original teams, which is amazing in the NBA [Tho, Nash did leave & come back to the Suns at one point.].

You gotta notice Ray Allen aka: Jesus Shuttlesworth. Ray still got game & I'm rooting for him & KG to take the Celtics to the TOP!

Then there's Stephon Marbury [Attention Whore] who has been all over the news w/ his Live streaming. He has been caught crying on tape, arguing w/ his sister, && dancing frolicking around his room! He looks like trouble in this picture.

[I wish I recognized more of the players but, I don't.]

What does this picture speak to you?

A Thousand Words: 'Reigning Ladies'

Da Brat//Missy Elliot//Lil Kim//Aaliyah

They reigned the 90s's didn't they?

We need more women in the music industry [like them].

Da Brat hit us w/ my jam "Funkdafied" [which i still bump].

Missy Elliot declared respect w/ her "I can't stand the rain, against my window--"

Lil Kim held her own as the only female on Biggie's roster [still holdin it down].

&& Aaliyah [who everybody jocks to this day] gave us soul, esp. with her debut album Age Ain't Nothing But a Number. [We Miss You]

Enough of me, what does this picture speak to you?

A Thousand Words: 'The Story of Love & Hate'

They say a picture is worth a thousand words, and this one is no different. Taken from the 1989 film [A Spike Lee joint] Do the Right Thing is a picture of the character 'Radio Raheem' expressing a powerful statement. [Before we go on any further, I must ask.] What does this picture speak to you?

I'm not trying to be grammatically correct when I propose this question as I'm just trying to get your mind flow. Maybe you are in love, or you it may be that you hate it. You may even recall of the Dreams' debut album 'Love/Hate'. Or maybe you think nothing of this picture at all, just maybe. [None of those thoughts are incorrect.]

There you have it, 'The Story of Love & Hate'.

I must ask again [now that you know, what you know now] what does this picture speak to you?
