BGOL Almost Famous: Jaguar Wright

I'm hoping it works because we need the sound. Plus the live events were LIT. The Black Lily was the best shit ever. I was dumb young and sneaking into The 5 Spot back then, but at any given night you could see Quest playing with the band, Floetry singing, India floating thru the crowd. The unsung hero of those times was Lady Alma though. Fam, she used to blow EVERYONE away.

MAAAN! I REMEMBER THIS ! LOVED HER, ONE OF MY BIG HOMIES PLAYED ON THE RECORD, HASAN KEYBOARDIST
My teen years !!, i used to sneak into these places especially wetlands, wetlands was such a magical place as a younster! first place i saw the roots/robert randolph/ scott storch/bilal/eryka/3stacks/jaguar/the 2 sister group(forgot their name one was cuban & other was sista from philly) they had that old vw bus smack in the middle of it!! maaaaan!!!smdh
thaaaank you brother! i swear i used to have arguments with people about this shit, what were they ashamed about ? they did it in my opinion to appease white labeling, i always thought the roots had that shit on lock and they couldve gone on to give a middle finger to what white established industry and white people wanted to classify or label us as and just do us , build this alternate to radio r&b and stay with it ,without tryin to hard to distance themselves from "labelling" which is pretty much what they tried to do with okayplayer and shift into a new paradim! they had it and got spooked from bs! now they try to so hard to reclaim that!power advantage i felt eryka & jaguar's record title were ass backwards and regressive in the lon run. what happens when folks think they too smart for their own good
This was on the High Crimes sdtrk Movie with Morgan Freeman. I don't even think they played it during the movie. I heard it and it stopped me in my tracks. Great song never heard anything else from her.
I bought the album when it came out in 2001 or 2002. There was not one weak track on that album. Pure fire! The sista was on to something with that sound, I’m surprised she didn’t continue it.
jazzyfatnastees and les nubians are their names.
Lowkey, the Jazzyfatnastess are a MAJOR reason most of the rest of the neo soul squad got on. The story goes the Jazzies were signed first, and they used their money to create the Black Lily, give everyone a platform, and pat folks.
Jaguar did her thing in the industry for a hot minute. I thought she was on for real when she did that Come commercial and was featured heavily that year. Loved her music.
YO! move over Katt.. Jaguar Wright is shooting shots at ERRYBODY...update: Beyonce is a witch fucking women around her! new interview last page

This shit is crazy. I don't know what's true and what's not, but I will say, Jag has always been a real ass chick. She was all neosoul and shit, but she always been a G. She from the worst projects in Philly and was in all the hood spots back in the day. She was always about that life.
The problem with that whole genre isn't the style of music they were doing. it's that none of them were PLAYING the music. It was always a bunch of white musicians and/or producers pushing all the buttons for them. What ever happened to go old fashioned soul where WE play the instruments?
No bueno
I wonder if anyone other than regular folks listening. Hope she don't get in a 'car accident' I love her work and think she courageous AF. I don't know if it will ultimately do any good but we'll see. Something will come of all this. She mentioning too many ppl
Can someone give me the bullet points on this. Hopefully I can listen to it later, but this thing is over 2 hours.
This Chick is going in on puffy

Puffy Andre Harrell clive Davis
sodomites who like to use their power and influence to force coerce men into homosexual acts in demean and dominate
