Hopefully she won’t be a hip-hop Whitney.
kids must be hungry for her to put her crazy on hold to make grocery money. She’s such a talented young woman, I hope she’s o.k.
I agree with you nightshift. I usually don’t listen to rap but, I made an exception with Ms Hill. The MisEducation CD is great. Such talent is going to waste.
hope she dont spring a leak….im just saying
