      Does she feel uncomfortable always being the biggest chick everywhere she goes? She does not need to be a size 2 like Badu but at least get down to a normal thick girl size like a 12, make even a 14, she looks like she is at least a 18-20. I hope she does not still call herself a vegan, if so she need to step up that protein, and stay away from those carbs. She looks so bad

    Looks like a fun concert. Jill Scott cut off her hair? that pattern/color does not compliment her figure.

    I’ve followed the instructions: “click through the pages…” yet, I’ve been able to see no further pictures except the first page. This is the second post where I’ve had difficulty doing so. I don’t mind you “stepping your game up” Concrete Loop, but can you please make sure that your game is just a little bit more tight because I’d love to see the other photos?! Thanks! #fanofCL

    Janelle and Nicki are on the same page of pics…it’s like polar opposites, lol. One who looks like she picks up anything or any color and puts on and the other is too scared to try anything other than two colors!

    Ok so everybody gets a regular introduction and Jill Scott gets an adjective in front of her name??? If you are going to describe each person do it…

      I agree… I don’t know if it was done consciously,or it was done to put an end to her being called fat before it started..shrug. Either way,like you said,if you’re gonna describe each person,then do it!

    Yep. Exactly what you thought I said.

    I can’t wait for the True Hollywood Story where Nicki Minaj tells how depressed she was being a clown for the industry. And how they MADE her do it. And how she absolutely hated it and considered dropping out of the game because of how embarrassed she became of herself but she was under contract. Or something like that. SMMFH

      They all come up crying on Unsung/THS.. But while they are in it,people think they are living the life..That’s why it kills me when small minded people come back with “They making money” and other non sense like that.

      Agreed. This is not what she wanted. She really did want to be a hip hop female artist instead she was forced to be side show bob. But again she is grown and has choices. It’s always about choice and the moment they thought that I would be coming out like that is the moment I would have walked out the door. No amount of money is worth your pride and dignity.

      True, very true. @Michelle she had choices. The choice to be signed or not. It’s that simply. Sadly gone are the days where female rappers can just rap. Like Salt n Pepa or Lyte. As the female rappers grew they had to get a “gimmick” to be seen, a.k.a the sex kitten. After folks get tried of you rapping about your tatas they throw them away. So taking on the barbie doll (still a sex kitten but one with no brain) entered in. I think since the 90s when female rappers looked and acted like males the industry hasn’t a clue how to just accept a female rapping without seeing her or pushing her into an extreme character. I reference Salt n Pepa particaulary because they didn’t really have “character” or show extreme sex to sale. Now most females cannot seem to get a deal outside of being with a “crew”. You ever notice that? I mean Eve, Remy Ma, Nicki, Lil Kim all had to brought in by being with an all male crew…they never even have two females in the crew.

    JILL SCOTT! Girlfriend; you need to lose that outfit. I mean it wouldn’t look good on a small girl; let alone a bigger girl.
