Black Twitter Wikipedia Page?

[and are] proving adept at bringing about a wide range of sociopolitical changes." A HuffingtonPost article goes into more detail about the emergence of this wikipedia page and exactly what does it mean.

Cash Money Reunites


Last night in a ceremony honoring Cash Money Founders, Bryan “Birdman” Williams and Ronald “Slim” Williams, and former label-mates Mannie Fresh, Juvenile and Turk joined Birdman, Slim and Lil Wayne on stage at the BMI R&B/Hip Hop Awards. The ceremony marks the first time in years that Juvenile, Turk, Mannie Fresh and Cash Money’s Birdman and Slim had been seen as a collective in years. This is a good sign that the talks about a Big Tymer and Hot Boys reunion might indeed be in the works.
