I walked into the Pantages Theater last night with exact notions on how I felt about Queen Latifah and what her performance would look and feel like.

I walked out after finding all of these notions to be true.

1. Queen Latifah is beautiful.
2. Queen Latifah is multi-talented.
3. Queen Latifah is down to earth
4. Queen Latifah has a great sense of humor.
5. Queen Latifah makes me proud to have curves.

Having seen her performance last night at the Pantages, and as a hip-hop fan of the Queen since seventh grade, I left with a question that I never in my life thought I would EVER ask:

Why did that girl ever rap?
