just because of her wonderfully HomemadeVINTAGEeccentric look, but because she is an exceptional artist with some of the best lyrics I've ever heard. Every single album is greatness! Chaka Khan & Erykah are great! Nneka is a very hot artist! I admire that she is not contemporary and she has a very distinct voice. She can sing, rap, and do poetry- I'm all on board the Nneka train! I love her album cover for SOul Is HEaVy She's got a lot of FLAVA! Nneka is deep. The Floacist- I really follow Natalie because she is on of the most successful female performing poets I know of. Her lyrics mean a lot and I really appreciate her level of consciousness. She always looks so comfortable no matter what look she takes on. You can tell moeny doesn't drive her- the art does. Peace to this QUEEN. 16 The Floacist POETIC FACES IN APRIL- I am lovin' this chick right now! Her name is LiAnn La Havas and her voice is extremely and soothingly POETIC! My favorite pic of her. Have you seen them? The Les Nubians have so much style and flava. Amazing looks. 11 Les Nubians BEAUTIFULLY POETIC FACES How can we ever forget the wonderful Velvet Rope years of Ms. Jackson. She was at her peak during this time. Her movement brought the world to tears. Lauryn Hill broke records with her lyrics that no female rapper has yet to come close to. I don't mean, grammy's and such- I mean she had the power to get into your heart because she was so REAL. 15 Lauryn Hill Goapele's music continues to be wonderful. I even enjoyed her last album which she added a bit of a "neo-pop" twist to a few of the songs. She is powerfully POETIC. 21 Goapele POETIC FACES IN APRIL- She is extremely expressive/animated and I love every bit of it! Her lyrics are amazing as well. 24 Janelle Monae http://africanessence.wordpress.com/2013/04/13/queen-things-poetic-riding-boots/ http://africanessence.wordpress.com/2013/04/13/queen-things-poetic-riding-boots/#comments Sat, 13 Apr 2013 16:22:44 +0000 Shila Iris http://africanessence.wordpress.com/?p=2945 Continue reading →]]> http://africanessence.wordpress.com/2013/04/13/queen-things-poetic-riding-boots/feed/ 0 shilairis Poetic Riding Boots
