Read this in my Ali voice.....lol.....RIP
The GOAT. My favorite Ali pic, by Gordon Parks:
RIP great one.
FUUUUUCKK!!!!!! Its too early in the morning for me to be crying like this..... Ali was one of my pops heroes and consequently one of mine. This is too much RIP to the greatest ever.
RIP to the greatest to ever step in to the ring! Floats like a butterfly, sting like a bee! The black superman! Peaceful journey!
I am the greatest! Of all time! Damn y'all
Cursed be the ground for our sake. Both thorns and thistles it shall bring forth for us. For out of the ground we were taken, for the dust we are...and to the dust we shall return

Seen the bad news coming and it still hit like a brick... just like one of his punches. Looked up to brother Ali like no other. I remember cats trying to tell me he lost fights and that he retired undefeated and I told them that we were going to analyze that Trevor Berbick fight round for round minute by minute punch by punch and count the points that should have been deducted from Berbick... fight was over in the third disqualification by my count.
May Brother Ali pass from this life gracefully into Eternal Peace as promised by the creator.

Ali was the definition of Black manhood and dignity. I loved this man like I loved my father...and will mourn and shed tears for him the same way. He was the modern day King David...our champion who faced the Goliath called White Supremacy, warrior-king who even lost his crown for us, passionate and poetic lover of his God, Black women, and all Black people....not perfect....but a man after God's own heart.
Psalm 27
Of David.
1 The Lord is my light and my salvation—
whom shall I fear?
The Lord is the stronghold of my life—
of whom shall I be afraid?
2 When the wicked advance against me
to devour me,
it is my enemies and my foes
who will stumble and fall.
3 Though an army besiege me,
my heart will not fear;
though war break out against me,
even then I will be confident.
4 One thing I ask from the Lord,
this only do I seek:
that I may dwell in the house of the Lord
all the days of my life,
to gaze on the beauty of the Lord
and to seek him in his temple.
5 For in the day of trouble
he will keep me safe in his dwelling;
he will hide me in the shelter of his sacred tent
and set me high upon a rock.
6 Then my head will be exalted
above the enemies who surround me;
at his sacred tent I will sacrifice with shouts of joy;
I will sing and make music to the Lord.
7 Hear my voice when I call, Lord;
be merciful to me and answer me.
8 My heart says of you, “Seek his face!”
Your face, Lord, I will seek.
9 Do not hide your face from me,
do not turn your servant away in anger;
you have been my helper.
Do not reject me or forsake me,
God my Savior.
10 Though my father and mother forsake me,
the Lord will receive me.
11 Teach me your way, Lord;
lead me in a straight path
because of my oppressors.
12 Do not turn me over to the desire of my foes,
for false witnesses rise up against me,
spouting malicious accusations.
13 I remain confident of this:
I will see the goodness of the Lord
in the land of the living.
14 Wait for the Lord;
be strong and take heart
and wait for the Lord.
R.I.P. our Black Champion and King....R.I.P...
Stood on his principles ...even though he lost millions. COURAGE personified
RIP Champ
RIP Champ
Putting all the God stuff aside....he talked about some deep stuff right here. Using your time wisely...compassion etc.
When you think of Black Superstar athletes throughout history, we've actually had a handful that had the guts to use their clout to speak out on certain political issues. Whether it be about race, Wars, whatever. A lot are were and are to scared to jeopardize losing a pay check. Few Black Athletes were built like Ali. True Soldier!!
Much Respect to the Man...the Myth....the Legend, Ali

Fam...
Our elders and pioneers are leaving...
And all of sudden I started thinking who in the hell do we have to take up their mantle.
Ali was the greatest in ever sense of the word.
Our parents revered him wgite people hated but respected him.
He was far from perfect...
But he was Black
In ever best sense of the word.
Look how we treat OUR young greats now?
What would tmz, espn and social media have done to Ali legacy?
We can no longer allow THEM to control dictate and craft OUR heroes.
We should think about especially now when these talking heads criticize Lebron, Curry, Iverson, Jim Brown, Beastmode, etc.
They need to dedicate the Black Panther movie to Muhammad Ali.
Just because.
Just because.
I just had to tell my kids why I'm so sad this morning..
They asked who is Ali?
I f*cked up....
Gonna have to give them a master class this weekend.
