I WOULD HAVE BEEN



Lady Pink is one of many people who people should reconize in NYC. She is one of the Pioneers of Hip Hop back in the 1970's in the element of Graffiti. What an incredible artist that she is and I must say...I had a small crush on her as a kid when I first saw WildStyle at the age of like 7 years old (if you know how old I am...you will know how many years ago that was!) but yeah. =P She made NYC Hip Hop blossom and spread that truth worldwide both for males and females.
She's even crossed over and made incredible pieces for private collectors and galleries which she hosted and sold her legendary art work. Lady Pink is a Hip Hop Legend which I feel doesn't get all the respect that she should get so that's why I'm posting this up to my readers who follow what I'm talking about...i also had to big her up too because not only she is a Legend...she is Ecuadorian. That gives me more of an inspiration to do more research to trace my background (although I was born in NYC) to something that I love...Hip Hop.
I'm glad to be one who is deep and one day will contribute more to the Turntablist/ DJ community before my last breathe.
Thank you Lady Pink for your inspiration to do more for Hip Hip.
I have the most upmost respect for Lady Pink. I say that with all respect hands down. (You know I see no gender line with hero's.)

Only a week after his mother's death, Kanye West returned to the concert stage Saturday night in Paris, only to dramatically break down in tears, audience members tell PEOPLE.
Nearing the end of the more than 60-minute performance, with the riff of "Hey Mama" beginning, West attempted to introduce the tribute to a sold-out crowd at Le Zénith in Paris, saying "this song is for my mother...." and could get no further.
"He just cracked," one attendee tells PEOPLE, "He was at the end of his concert and had just started to dedicate the song and then he just lost it completely, crying onstage for five minutes."
"He said the word, 'Mother' and just couldn't go any further," Le Parisien journalist Meddy Magloire said. "A back-up singer, the DJ and a guitar player came over to console him. It looked like he might collapse. He just couldn't continue. He just stood there in a spotlight, crying while the band continued playing."
After a few moments of stunned silence, Magloire says, the audience of 5,000 reacted by offering calls of encouragement, which grew into applause.
Trying to recover onstage, West restarted the song but was unable to finish. He left the stage, returning after 10-15 minutes to conclude the concert with a rousing performance of "Stronger."
"He was very nervous, seemed to have gathered himself up, and had a lot of energy," Magloire says. "He kept shouting out to the audience, 'I need you... I need you right now.' and the public was screaming back. It was magic."
