A few days ago, when my phone rang at some late-late hour of the night with an unidentified number, I almost didn't pick up. I was all "who the eff is this??" When I answered a strangely familiar voice said "What's up Ginny, this is Bun B." Good thing I picked up. Turns out Bun B was in need of Roots crew contact info as he was fixing to come through to their performance in Houston. Looks like he not only made an appearance, but hopped on stage for a live rendition of "International Players Anthem." Of course we've got to say RIP to Pimp C who we all wish could've been right there with them.

*Editor's note: I'm not a name-dropper, I swear! Really, I'm not. Did I mention my total new BFF is Estelle? Well, we did talk one time. Wait- Erykah Badu and I email each other! Okay, it was only once, and it was a press release from her label- but the email address SAID "Erykah Badu." I saved it. One day I'll show you.
