Brown Sugar: WE LOVE YOU [present tense]
26 August 2015 Brown Sugar
I’m a lil late but I celebrate her artistry.8.25.98 Miseducation Drops & our musical world is immediately impacted. Eventually selling 19 million sold world wide. 19 MILLION. Lyricism spliced w/ Historical References, wordplay, & vocals that remain the standard. None of us can truly predict who we become within the shadow of success/fame. I love her forever. I love her “defecating on the mic like Nina Simone”. I love her “flippin in the ghetto on a dirty mattress”. I love the simple craving of acknowledging “I JUST WANT YOU AROUND” & I love hearing her in recent years remix the feeling of being a reFUGEE. I celebrate her voice & her bravery & the lasting effect that 14 tracks from a creative genius can have in the soul. WE LOVE YOU LAURYN [present tense]
