"with the passing of Prince, Ali, and soon other Icons....."


          

we need to start scrutinizing, challenging, admonishing some of these mofos we call our cultural "legends"

or at least raise up some of the people who are actually trying to live up to at least one side of the truly FREE coin they were.

and what they were able to overcome
its amazing to think about a world that was so different from this
and to still be able to rise up and be the best
or be at the top
or overcome

i think we forget how difficult things must have been
Ali's story best represents this, i feel

so for me, thats what i hold on to
doors were opened, yes
but at really great personal sacrifices

i myself would never want to be god,or even like god.Because god got all these human beings on this planet and i most certainly would not want to be responsible for them, or even have the disgrace that i made them.

fall off, some would argue
or run from the limelight


lauryn hill, jill scott, badu

mos def & andre3k quit rap


if social media or 24/7 paparazzi was around in the 60's and 70's, would ali still become the cultural icon, or would he be getting twitter dragged and meme'd for having 4 marriages and sidejawns


i dunno
