When Twitter Goes Beautifully Right

Sandra Rose April 12, 2010

I often focus on the negative aspects of Twitter.com, such as this post about rapper Ice-T’s shameful twitter rant at singer Aimee Mann.

But today, I stumbled across this Twitter page of a young, up-and-coming rapper who preaches the gospel through his music.

His name is Lecrae and he tweeted this earnest expression of love for his wife that really touched my heart in a tender way because you don’t often see this type of sentiment by a young black man on Twitter.

You can read more about Lecrae and his music here.

That’s so sweet. Sidenote: It’s easy to find positivity when you’re not busying looking for negativity.

Good to see someone using these sites for something besides chasing tail and trying to find fake friends :yea:

Watch those darned heffas try to spoil this love. The devil loves using publicity to bring out his army to attack. Lovely couple, proves that the presence of God is the true secret to a happy marriage. I shall pray for them tonight, Lord protect them from ‘tell alls’ and jump offs’.

Why did I think when I first saw the picture of the 2 people together that she was his mother…..

He looks really young though…CUTE Tweet nonetheless and glad he learned to love to cook for his wife…It will keep peace in the house… lol

This isnt new.. Its always some positivity, most just prefer to focus on the negative.(The American Way). But Good happens everyday.. There are still real men out there that grind for their families, and love only ONE woman… And LOVE GOD!!

Awwww’z that was nice, great looking couple…

I was just telling my son yesterday that guys were wearing black stud earrings I can’t wait to show him this when he gets home from school……

Ain’t black love grand!!!!
Man, I just don’t care™

Seems like a good marketing move more than anything else.
http://twitter.com/mrs_truth ms.truth

Love period is a beautiful thing. Being black makes it just a bit sweeter!

@Man…marketing to who??
http://www.twitter.com/karazinatl KaraZ

Sandra… I’m perplexed. A black man showing love to his wife and NO SHADE? Nothing about how he’s probably a cheat or how he’s sleeping with men? Nothing subliminal about black women should give up on men and go to team lesbun?

I think I know how you stumbled across his page he is a ATL rapper….the tweet is cute but this is free advertising for the dude….

I still didn’t listen to his though…

Uh oh here we go!

How sweet, too cute, so endearing, etc, etc, etc, ad infinitum!

OK, Auntie, let’s get back to the DIRT! I’m here solely because I NEED negative stories about people to make me feel better about my own life!

IMO Free advertisement of something positive is still a plus. I’m in love and it’s a beautiful thing!!!

Y’all are complaining about this as free advertising? what about all those posts about Louis Stewart and his fugly luggage sets with 5gazillion pictures in each post? Bags that nobody is running out to buy with his gmail address. At least she’s not forcing a yotube video with expired azz LisaRaye endorsing him

@ karaZ…:rofl: aint that it!!!! Like 50 pics on one post for those dang alligator luggage purses!

I ain’t complainin, I’m just sayin.

AND, I’ve told you before but I you kill me. I swear. LOL.

Lisa Raye expired about 10 years ago!
mstkotuki

sorry folks…Lecrae recently moved to Atlanta and therefore should not be considered an ATL rapper. Plus considering he does Christian Rap, he really shouldn’t be lumped in with the rest of the ATL folks. Lecrae was born and raised in Texas.
Ms.Everything

This is adorable and I agree that there are positives everywhere if you can take a minute to stop looking for something negative.

I don’t think he thought to himself before tweeting this that SR would see and blog about it so how can this be considered a marketing ploy and why is shade being thrown his way? Why can’t he just be happy and in love? And even if he is an ATL rapper he’s also a gospel rapper so I doubt Sandra will be shoving him down our throats like she does those bags and other atl “celebs”
cheeks8683

I kept seeing comments from people on here sayingthat Lisa Raye was in 2 movies and I’m like, I only remember 1 (Player’s Club). I finally was able to think of the 2nd movie….”The Wood”….Now was she in anything else?
BROWNSUGAPOET

SAWEEET CHEEKS!!!! Check BET in the loe budget section… oh wait that’s all they have are low budget movies so I’m sure you can find them there sweet cheeks
http://www.twitter.com/karazinatl KaraZ

cheeks, she had like 3 whole lines in the movie, she was simply an EXTRA.
http://twitter.com/mrs_truth ms.truth

What did she do in The Wood? I don’t remember that.
cheeks8683

HEY BROWN!!!! It was nice here in the city this weekend huh?
U know what? Even tho I don’t fool with BET much anymore, I am glad to see that they stopped playing the Master P movie collections…At least now they try to play some halfway decent stuff…For a while there all they played was a chick prison movie, the chick cowboy shoot e up movie (oh wait was Lisa in that one!) and Baby Boy…

@ kara…since she was an extra does that take the number down to 1 1/2?
cheeks8683

@ ms. truth she was the one that was marrying taye diggs…

cheeks I got the hook up was on this weekend!

No one is putting blame on the dude but I am just saying Sandra didn’t stumble across the dude he is following her on twitter…

That’s just my P.O.V on it…I know I didn’t throw any shade I just feel she used the tweet to plug the dude music…I read the dude’s twitter and he says a bunch of good things and she choose to tweet this…So she can prove her point that “there are few good black men” and he is one of them…

Aw, come off it, Sandra Mae –

If this were Jay Z he’d be a narcisist and if it were Trey Songz, he’d be tryin to throw us off of his “DL” fragrance. lol

Which publicist hit you up for this one? lol
Man, I just don’t care™

@MISSY
@CARRINGTON

Cosign. I mean, if you are randomly surfing twitter/facebook/etc. you will see shout outs from dudes to their girls (and vice versa) all the time. There is a reason that his “tweet” recieves an entire thread devoted to it.
http://twitter.com/mrs_truth ms.truth

@cheeks…that was her wasn’t it. I guess that says how big of a role she had.
http://pearlswindow.com Carrington

I know right @ M.I.J.D.K. –

We all know no MAN gets love on this site (unless he’s T.I.) and watching Sandra gush all over some broad is like watching a train wreck… you KNOW Sandra turnin’ on her a$$ is just a matter of time… but you can’t help watching and coming back to, “wait for it… wait for it…” LOL

Sometimes I think Sandra gets paid for her posts and it doesn’t really matter after the initial “love fest” because she gets paid BY the post… which explains her “you’re GAY AS HELL” to Trey Songz one week and then the semi-positive post the next week.

Just like the “You’re gay!” posts about Rhianna and then she’s “hawt” the next. The initial payment must have a stipulation that the first week is all positive… and then all bets are off and she can say what she REALLY thinks about them. LMAO!

I don’t think Sandra cuts for ANY of these celebs, and that’s why when that money dries up, she “turns”. lol
BROWNSUGAPOET

well I’m out folks so yall have a good one
https://sandrarose.com Sandra Rose

Wow, @MISSY and @CARRINGTON: I receive at least 100 follow requests a day and half of them are blank pages, aka bogus pages. So I take the time to look at each page because I only want real pages following me. In the course of doing that, I saw his tweet. It just touched me because he’s so young and I see so much foolishness on Twitter. I’m not saying men don’t show love for their wives on Twitter.
KrayZKat

@cheeks8683 – she was also in a movie called, “Rhapsody.”
leapyearpisces

I got the hook up was on saturday night on BET…. how about my son was like that was the best movie he’d ever seen in his whole life [that little boy could not stop laughing—he was on the chaise lounge and I was on the couch falling in and out of sleep] at any rate like i said he said that was the best movie he had seen in his life, and I said fortunatley for him he is only eight years old… :rofl:….LMAO
http://www.twitter.com/karazinatl KaraZ

Sandra talks slick about folks that pay her, look at what she did to Kimora the other day, she takes her check and still says what she has in mind.
http://twitter.com/mrs_truth ms.truth

@leap, I didn’t realize how bad the acting in that movie was!!

and I got the impression that this was a sincere post…one of very few.

Good move Sandra @ #58
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Qm2_ppqtZk missy

@Sandra-All I was saying is that it was ironic he was from ATl that is all..I think its a good post and gave the dude free advertising …Whether intentionally or unintentionally it was…..

Im not saying your a mean person and can never have a positive post…..

Any whooooooo He seems nice…

*************************
Lisa Raye was in that horrible movie they show on EBT all the time. She was a cowgirl and I think The Brat was in it too. It was awful so I am not sure who else was in it because I couldnt watch more than 10 minutes of it.

Ms Truth:

Girl, I think I might can get with SoulPlane before that movie….LOL..girl, but from the time the credits roll in the beginning of the movie until AJ Johnson got shot in the butt at the end of the movie, my son was in stitches…..

and you are doing yourself a diservice by not watching a Gang of Roses…like I said the other day….I will break my neck to watch that movie EVERYTIME it comes on, because there is NOTHING like a Drama that ends up being a comedy…. LOL
leapyearpisces

Truth,

It seems like you and I are the only ones still on, just curious, have you ever seen Sparkle with Irene Cara? That is one of my favorite movies of all time. It’s a classic.

LOL…he actually said that…he fixed his mouth to make that sentence…LOL
cheeks8683

@ qtipthecat….Oh ok Gang of Roses….I took looked at approx 3 minutes of it and changed the channel and leapy I remember Sparkle! That was actually a good movie. Usually when u see a movie as a kid you think its the best thing ever, like u said about your son on I got the hook up. I used to think Howard the Duck was off the chain when I was like 4. I saw that mess again as an adult and I was like what crackhead studio gave the greenlight on this ish…Same with Purple Rain lol!
http://twitter.com/mrs_truth ms.truth

Leap, I have not seen that. What’s it about?

Cheeks, Howard the Duck was a trip! Have you seen Killer Clowns? I think that was the name of it. 80s movies.
cheeks8683

@ ms. truth…Killer Clowns? Oh heck no I know I would not be able to get down with that…I’m scared of clowns. I saw “It” as a kid and that jacked me up for years!
leapyearpisces

Girl! You haven’t seen Sparkle???? Man, they wouldn’t have it in the video stores, because its so old, but there is this website I will have to find it, that sells nothing but old classic black movies.

Its about three sisters who end up having minor sucess for being an “around the way” singing group…..its set in the seventies and Phillip Michael Thomas, Lonette Mckee [i think that is her name- the one who plays Wesly Snipes wife in Jungle Fever] Irene Cara, and a lot of othe people star in it…. Sparkle [Irene Cara] is the middle of the three sisters and Lonette Mckee is the oldest and the “PRETTY ONE” she ends up on drugs etc….but Sparkle ends up getting a record contract with the help of her boyfriend Stix [Phillip Micheal Thomas]…its really good…you have to see it….

Aretha’s Franklin “Giving Him Somthing he can feel” that song was on the soundtrack for that movie. That is where that song comes from….. and when envouge remade that song, that video paid tribute to the movie…
leapyearpisces

Cheeks,

So I take it you have never seen Steven Speilbergs movie IT…..before that movie I used to collect clowns…I used to love them….I haven’t touched a clown since….up until this day, that movie scares the shyt out of me…..
cheeks8683

@ leap, see above ^^^^^ “It” jacked me up for life and I was scared to walk past sewers for a long time as a kid…and there was a sewer right next to one of bus stops as a kid and I thought a clown would jump out and get me.
http://twitter.com/mrs_truth ms.truth

yep…Killer Clowns from Outer Space- 1988

Sparkle sounds like something I could watch. I love good black movies. is it like an earlier version of dreamgirls?
leapyearpisces

Cheeks,

OMG! I thought I was the only one…. you better than me, because I STILL stay away from sewers…I am like you, something about that movie just messed me up with the clowns and sewers….I think I watched at too young of an age….but I was wanting to be grown and chill with my dad [who loves horror movies]…my mom told me not to watch it…
leapyearpisces

Truth,

I guess you can say that…just a WAY grittier version of Dreamgirls..LOL….no one really ever MAKES it, in Sparkle [but its inferred that Sparkle makes it], the costumes, the dance moves [while sublte but very sexy] are just awesome!

Lonette Mckee is absolutley BREATHTAKING in that movie… very beautiful!!!
leapyearpisces

Gotta go girls, done ran my mouth with you all, now I only have ten minutes to pick up the kids…TTYL!
