"Find a beautiful piece of art. If you fall in love with Van Gogh or Matisse or John Oliver Killens, or if you fall love with the music of Coltrane, the music of Aretha Franklin, or the music of Chopin - find some beautiful art and admire it, and realize that that was created by human beings just like you, no more human, no less." -Maya Angelou

Not really a fan of female rappers tbh
Khalil Gibran
I wonder if Avante will show up and throw out a hundred obscure blues men that influenced the dearly departed.
I had the chance to meet her at a lecture she gave at USC and though she didn't have to, she stayed way past the last person departed talking to us students and it was like you were talking to a relative. She was open and listened and gave us tidbits of advice and was genuinely a great a person as her reputation was believed to be.
RIP to Maya....and ^
She was raped when she was 7 and literally didn't speak for 6 years....people thought she went full on re ....but when she finally spoke she had nothing but all this beautiful poetry coming out of her.....and fyi - a mob beat her rapist to death in the streets.... ok Avante
what a beautiful and inspiring woman.
Wow, can't believe I didn't hear about this earlier.
RIP Maya Angelou
Was she the one who sat on the bus?
No, my mistake, she was the Oracle in The Matrix movies
Wouldn't call her a rapper, per se, but she did have that collabo with Sisqo back in the day.
Decent piece.
That's pretty cool! She's the perfect example of someone who brought nothing but beauty into this world. RIP.
she was also a stripper and reportedly ran a brothel!!!
