AS SOON AS I POST A QUEEN LATIFAH THROWBACK, I RECEIVED SOME INFO REGARDING QUEEN LATIFAH BEING ON THE COVER OF THE SOURCE. THE MAGAZINE IS CELEBRATING THEIR 20TH ANNIVERSARY AND WILL HAVE TWO COVERS FOR THE SPECIAL EDITION ISSUES. THE SOURCE IS USINGÂ THICKETTE QUEEN LATIFAH AND THICK MAN ICE CUBE. TO MAKE THE ISSUE EVEN MORE INTERESTING THE SOURCE IS USING A THROWBACK COVERÂ FOR BOTH ARTIST FROM THE LATE 80′S EARLY 90′S FOR THE BACK COVERS!
SO MAYBE LATIFAH IS COMING BACK WITH A RAP ALBUM? I HOPE SO! THE SOURCE DID A THICKSATIONAL JOB!
SINCE I CONTINUE TO COMPLAIN ABOUT QUEEN LATIFAH NOT RAPPING, I THINK THIS IS AN APPROPRIATEÂ TIMEÂ FOR A THICKSTIONAL THROWBACK!
Latifah started her career beatboxing for the rap group Ladies Fresh. Latifah was one of the members of the original version of the Flavor Unit, which, at that time, was a crew of emcees grouped around producer DJ Mark the 45 King. In 1988, DJ Mark the 45 King heard a demo version of Latifah’s single “Princess of the Posse” and gave the demo to Fab Five Freddy, who was the host of Yo! MTV Raps. Freddy helped Latifah sign with Tommy Boy Records, which released Latifah’s first album All Hail the Queen in 1989, when she was nineteen. That year, she appeared as Referee on the UK label Music of Life album “1989-The Hustlers Convention (live)”.
