An outpouring of condolences followed as a testament to Taylor’s life and contribution to hip-hop history.
Gotta go. This… This hurts different than BI. I’m old. This is my soundtrack. This is backpackers’ … Nvm. Be well. #RIPPhife

My personal testimony as to how timeless ATCQ is is that independently, my 19, 18 and 14 yr old sons listen to Tribe on their own. #RIPPhife

The Bad – Apple fools no one with familiar iPhone SE
Monday the technology innovator released its newest slate of products which included the iPhone SE.
Held on to my iPhone 4S for years because all I’ve ever wanted is a small phone. Thrilled about the #iPhoneSE! pic.twitter.com/sRtW0VUi4T
— Johanna Fuentes (@jfuentes) March 21, 2016
However the reaction was lackluster as the SE was revealed to be nothing more than a glo’d up iPhone 5.
The #IPhoneSE is a 6s in a 5 case and a 6s is a 6 + better camera and a 6 is a 5 in a bigger case + better camera therefore SE =5s

I don’t need a new #iPhoneSE, I need a new political system that truly empowers our gente, inspires discourse, and promotes real solutions

The #iPhoneSE is like your ex that you dumped for a new one that came back better and stronger but you don’t love anymore. 🙄🙄🙄

This little boy folded Katt Williams up like an Auntie Anne’s and wrapped the ashiest leg since slavery around his midsection.

We’re frankly tired of seeing Katt as a repeat offender on The Socialhood Watch. Hope he gets the help he needs.
