She has to look in the mirror every day and go "YESSSSSSSSSSSSS."

Is she doing the incense "smoke" thing? That's fantastic, I didn't realize that more people then the people I worked with did that.

Not only is her afro fantastic, her lips are aaamaaaziiing holy crap.

OH JOY.

I was thinking of her after reading the Lauryn Hill post... I remembered a rumour that they were going to do a duet, but youtube doesn't know about such a thing, so I can only assume it never happened.

It looks like a cigerette in a long thin holder to me...

[existence]

Yeah, maybe. I just know a guy who'll take a long incense stick and light it and hold it like a smoke like that. Either way!

[ironed_orchid]

I kinda hope it is incense

[st_aurafina]

She is AMAZING.

[nanila]

Oh, I hope so. I also imagine she has every single shade of eyeshadow in existence.

[nanila]

I'm pretty sure it's incense. I doubt she smokes - and if she does, I doubt it would be cigarettes. ;)

[nanila]

I don't think so. I know she's worked with Eve (another female rapper on my list of future posts)!

[nanila]

Yes. I should probably add a tag about her acting chops - a multi-talented lady!

You might appreciate the fact that I was introduced to her music when Trent Reznor hosted Rage (a late night video show here) in 2000. He also played A Tribe called Quest. I was so impressed that he chose some nice hip hop instead of only playing noisy angsty music all night.

Indeed!
