Dearest Queens,

Dearest Queens,

I am really excited about The Queen Project formed by 3 Grammy winning artists.



& if there's anyone who LOVED R&B like I did back in the day,
they will be joyous about this occassion as well.
I, honestly, haven't been this excited about R&B music in a lloonnngggg time.
I am/have always been a HUGE fan of all 3 of yours & I'm really excited
to see 3 ladies, with some of the most distinctive/beautiful voices in the indsutry, hook up to bless us with MUSIC.

Deborah Cox, I remember KILLING the One Wish album.
As I listen to it while typing this love note,
it brings back so many memories...reminds me of when I could listen
to an R&B CD & play the whole album back to back/word for word.

Kelly Price, I remember first hearing your voice on the "Mo Money, Mo Problems" joint & I think that was one of the main reasons that one particular song was MY SH*T!
Then, Mirror Mirror dropped.
OMG!! If that album wasn't constantly in my CD player!
I LOVEDLOVEDLOVED that album. From top to bottom. Classic.

& Tamia. I remember when I first heard your voice.
It was on 'Slow Jams' , ft. Babyface, & after loving the 'Imagination' video, I was a fan.

& now all three of you Ladies are together to form The Queen Project.
When I heard this I was so excited that I just FF'd through the interview
to get straight to the snippet of you all's first single, 'Queen'.


[FF to 6:42]

I really like this joint. I can't wait to hear it in its entirety.

Dearest We Are Heroes,

Dearest We Are Heroes,

CONGRATULATIONS!!!



You Ladies KILLED it the WHOLE season.
I must admit, I slept on you all in the beginning
but as the season went on I fell in love with you & your passion.
Last Year, I was so mad at ABDC's Season 3 voters b/c I felt like "Beat Freakz" was the BEST...remember this performance?


But, I'm happy again since you diverse group of ladies took that golden trophey home and are now labeled as America's Best Dance Crew.
One of my favorite performances this season was the "Stanky Leg" performance.



MURDERED it!
I have to say, for the record, that was/will be the only time I like anything that has to do w/ the Stanky Leg.

Dearest Lil Wayne,

Dearest Lil Wayne,

AkA Weezy F. Please Say the Baby...


HAPPY BIRTHDAY

Once upon a time, I was a HUGE fan of your music.
But once you started speaking Martian, everything started to sound
the same & possess no substance.
Besides the "BlingBling" & "Drop it Like it's Hot" joints.
I never really paid any attention to you until I heard...

&

They quickly became two of my most favorite joints off The Carter.

After that, Carter II dropped...In my book. CLASSIC.
I brought that CD 2x b/c I played the 1st one OUT!
[That's the CD that should have went platinum in one week.]
From the Intro to "Money on my Mind", "Best Rapper Alive", "Hustler Music" & many more...the CD went HARD

I must say...after all the mixtapes & features, I kinda couldnt keep up.
But, despite all that, millions of people love you.
Speaking of which, while driving to work today...
I heard you on a remix one of my favorite joints right now,
[caution: this is not a hip hop track.
This song makes you feel good/sway side to side]


Shout out to Derick G. for the exclusive birthday pics.

& Baby w/ Weezy's Bday Tatt'd on his arm [sigh]

PS: FAVORITE LiL Wayne quote,
"I don't care if its Heroine in my cup. Its MY CUP. Fu*k you."
Classic.
