"?uest, read this little letter I just found......"
?uest, This letter is in the feedback section of the 2-11-02 publication of eurweb.com. Apparently, you hurt this woman's feelings a few years ago. I'm mad @ EUR's editors because, although the reader was unaware that she spelled your nickname incorrectly, the editors made no effort to change the spelling before they went to press. Damn journalists! Though the first sentence of the letter (and the D'Angelo reference) made me titter, the crux of this letter is very sad. She seems to paint herself as a strong woman, but it's evident that what she claimed you did still hurts her. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> *Tam a.k.a. BLAZON (no city given): "Well, it's Black History Month and I got beef. I got beef every-time I see or hear about Qwest Love from the Roots and I have been carrying this around for a couple years now, because I don't like to hate on others. I met Qwest Love when he toured with D'Angelo on the Voodoo tour in Ft. Lauderdale, FL. My friend and I had back stage passes and I was trying to get his autograph but he put me on hold so that he could make a play on a white girl with a very short skirt. I cannot tell you how much that hurt, especially since he and his group are very pro black and plus I knew I looked good, (good enough to get D'Angelo's attention). There are still so many black women struggling to love themselves and I can tell you if I was one of those women, he would have destroyed years of therapy. I didn't get the chance to vent then, but I hope he's reading this. And I'd love to see him try to answer this one cuz he CAN'T! There isn't any excuse.

Er - she got rejected by Quest and in some vain attempt to pay him back she writes this vitriol? - So he was checkin some other girl instead? - get over it - pretty sickening that she uses a pro black angle to attempt to embarrass Quest .

not makin excuses, but maybe quest actually knew the white girl? i mean, couldn't it very well have been an okayplayer femme that he knew by name? i mean, not sayin it was, but we cannot rule out that possibility. peace w/love dave

We do owe them something brother, and if you don't think so, check yourself.
"Unlike those underground cats who rock for heads, we include the throat, chest, arms, and legs"
what is she trying to justify groupieism?? point is that if black women where at these shows and became the large groupie populous then we would attack the black woman for that. i mean true sistas wouldn't even worry about who gets allowed backstage. although i do have some issues with all of our consicences bothers not giving our black sistas the v.i.p treatment

I can't believe a sista was gettin mad over that. She didn't know who that girl was and her relstionship to ?uest. She could have been a good friend, manager, anybody. It doesn't matter who she was....sista was just feelin really blown by the fact that it was a white girl. Chill. Stop tryin to put ?uest's business in the streets, cause everybody know sista gonna be right at the next concert, backstage, tryin her luck again. She must be one of those sistas who doesn't love herself because she would have been able to by-pass all that. A true sista wouldn't be tryin to put down a brotha like that. Come on.....goin to a magazine to put the business out. NO LOVE.

It really aint none of her business who ?uest gvin play. why that gotta matter anyway. I mean iaint never had a white girl friend, but they easier to talk to than a black girl a lot of the times, sisters be trippin especially if theythink they look good. that is not for all cases, my opinion is just based on my own experience. That chick was alme for even bringin something like that up.
Why black women get mad about interracial dating anyway. they say all the Black men get white girls and stuff. If thats the case who cares, just cause you cant get a black man, does that stop you from getting a man? I wanted a chevy but i got a buick...they both serve the same function. a white man, oriental man, indian... what ever can love you just the same maybe even more. Alot of time some sisters personnality just dont be right for the average black man. Just because ?uest was talkin to a black girl dont meanhe dont give sisters no play, that girlmay have been truly sweet, or like an above post stated he might know the girl. that article should have never been run. And what makes her think that ?uest and D'angelo got the same taste anyway D might feel she lookin right while ?uest thinkin she look very WRONG.
Damn Dove, why didn't you let the girl get her autograph

Why y'all acting so surprised over this shit?? Everybody know the roots are famous for contradicting themselves. LOL@you dumbasses falling for their gimmick.
This reminds me of some muthaphuckas that claim they're Muslim but still (secretly) eat pork.

>there is no contradiction > >now get back to ramming Nas > The contradiction is that questlove and the roots spit all this pro-black shit but is the first nigga to try and run up in a white bitch. Dude's problem prolly not only include his battle with obesity but also a color complex.

Maybe she >was engaging or maybe that >she was a contestant winner > Or maybe she's just white. That nigga questlove prolly do have a fetish for white bitches. I wouldn't put it pass his hypocritical ass.

Bitch it would be a privilage for you to be anywhere near my dick.
>dumbass > >read the above >he knew her, she wasn't a >fan or a woman he >was talking to
She was a groupy just like the chick who wrote that letter. Questlove just has a fetish for white hoes. Ain't nothing wrong with that except he's trying to cover it up cause it contradicts his image.
> >I know you love me, that's >why you cuss at me >so much
27. "RE: ?uest, read this little letter I just found......" In response to Reply # 0
Why do ya'll okayplayers immediately let Quest off the hook about any and everything. I ain't crucifying him but wait to see if he responds to the letter and then post commentary. I'm starting to think Okp is a cult and you people actually have Quest Love shrines in your homes. That's scary !!

>Why do ya'll okayplayers immediately let >Quest off the hook about >any and everything.
Cause their a bunch of dickriding homos. Star struckt cause questlove is typing little messages to them. These misfit muthaphukas want to be part of something so bad that they're willing to cling to the nuts of another man. Like I said, majority of these "okayplayers" must be a bunch of closeted fags.
>I'm starting to think >Okp is a cult and >you people actually have Quest >Love shrines in your homes. >That's scary !! You're prolly right. These people are even worst than the fanatical tupac dickriders. They're just a bunch of nerd ass misfits creaming in their panties cause someone I guess could pass for a "celebrity" is typing little messages to their sissy asses.

If the okayplayas are a bunch of dickridin homos, then I guess you must be one of them. Why are you on the website and responding to shit up on here if you feel that way? Read the article, and you will see that the sista was wrong. Whether it was ?uest Love or any of the other Okayplayas, everybody would have felt the same way. Put yourself in ?uest's shoes. That shit would not have been cool at all. You go through enough touring, you shouldn't have to worry about what some damn groupie might be telling a magazine. Stop hatin' cause ain't nobody ridin your dick.

why is such a big deal being made about her skin colour? would it be any better if she was black? I don't understand some of ya'll. There are so many beautiful shades of brown, white and yellow in the world today. Why are some people so close minded? and for those who are, it's ok, but don't be bringing down brothers who are more open minded. Keep your business to yourself.

person who wrote the note is the Question??
"My friend and I had back stage passes and I was trying to get his autograph but he put me on hold so that he could make a play on a white girl with a very short skirt. I cannot tell you how much that hurt,"
No comment on that statement.. I gotta come back to that one!
"especially since he and his group are very pro black" who said they were the "Black Panther" pro black (that's how it reads) Did they have a "I'm Pro-Black" campain that I didn't know about.. banoodles is what that is... (it may have been a pro-pussy moment...(not to offend or disrespect lol)
"and plus I knew I looked good, (good enough to get D'Angelo's attention)." Well if you knew you looked good that should've been it for ya sis. dayummm seeking approval from others than yourself....yea we all like our "egos" stroked once or twice in a blue moon..but uuuhhh..umm come on get a grip....lmbao
"There are still so many black women struggling to love themselves and I can tell you if I was one of those women, he would have destroyed years of therapy."
come on now... for the dames who are struggling (I overstand that) who said he's the "poster man for healin sistas with self love issues" ....
"I didn't get the chance to vent then, but I hope he's reading this. And I'd love to see him try to answer this one cuz he CAN'T! There isn't any excuse."
to put on someones back. I cant speak for dude, but a short skirt will catch my attention anyday of the week. putting a label on who someone can and cant be attracted to or locked in convo with is some cold shit... just my 2 and a half... -j

need to actually try to LIVE their live, instead of blaming other people for what they feel goes wrong.
If she really was so confident about her looks, how come something as silly as one person not paying attention to her causes her to react like this, ALMOST 2 YEARS LATER ...
?uest must feel good he didn't pay her any attention back then when he sees her reaction today LOL
anyway, we're giving this thing way too much attention ... there's thousands of similar stories, about every artist (remember the outrage when Thought 'had an affair' with a white Jewish woman ?).
I just thought it was an interesting read, and decided to post it. Sorry if I struck some raw nerves that resulted in name calling, catfights and `bows throwin'. Didn't know it'd spiral into such a melee. In the process, I have learned a lot of things about OKPs.
