My youngin’ forwarded me an email that she found in her inbox. Apparently it was an email that I sent to her back in ‘04 of the poem BLACK ROSE from the song Mind Sex by Dead Prez. This is one of my favorite pieces by the big homey Abiodun (The Last Poets). This poem was a good look 4 Mr. L-O-M aka Love-O-Matic Machine during the college years.
I actually had Abiodun come up 2 my college in ‘02 & perform this piece & well….. lets just say that evening Ladies Love was born.
So I figured that I would share one of my favorite poems with y’all… Enjoy! Shout out 2 the OG Abiodun.. -!YG aka Ladies Love
A new book from my dude Hank Willis Thomas. I got it as an early x-mas gift. :-) You can cop here. -!YG
