In @Nas single, Bouquet (To The Ladies), produced by @REALDJPREMIER, he gives a love letter to women, including women in hip hop. In the tribute to “Queens of the Microphone”, you’ll hear, Debbie D. Today, as a compliment to Bouquet, I received a gorgeous bouquet! 🥰#ImAPioneer

Thanks for the love and encouragement, X Fam! I learned during my pioneering days that education wasn’t a popular subject in hip hop, so I wanted to set a standard! I now have 2 secular & 4 theological degrees, incl. D.Min.! God is good! 🙌🏽🎓 #ImAPioneer

Sad day but good seeing my bro @therealdougefresh at the celebration of life for our #ColdCrush bro, #JDL. We reminisced about our early days rhyming at Harlem World. Doug shared how he felt watching me perform on stage as the 1st female solo Emcee.❤️ #ImAPioneer

A Patriarch of Hip Hop Culture has fallen! The tragic news of this loss among every hip hop pioneer is MASSIVE! DJ #AfrikaBambaataa is a primary contributors to the foundation & expansion of Hip Hop Culture. His legacy is forever cemented! 💔🕊️#SoulSonicForce #ImAPioneer

I’m shocked and saddened to hear of Blondy’s sudden passing; a beautiful soul! Recently she and Cheryl and I did an interview; it was one of the best among female pioneers. Though Blondy will be missed, her legacy in hip hop is forever cemented! ❤️🕊️🙏🏽 #ImAPioneer #TheSequence!

A legend has fallen! JDL, aka Jerry D. Lewis, gained fame with the Cold Crush Brothers, one of hip hop’s most notable and prolific pioneer crews! He was a lyrical beast on the mic and coupled it with a fire he brought to every performance! #RIPJDL #ImAPioneer 💔🙏🏽 #MCDebbieD
