a story about trae the truth: back when i was a teacher i reached out and asked him if he would come give a talk at our 8th grade graduation ceremony — i emailed him unprompted — i told him the kids listened to his music all the time and they’d get a big kick out of seeing him... https://twitter.com/lastqueennss/status/1267285712925319168

i told him i couldn’t pay him cuz there’s no money in a middle school budget for that kind of thing — i left my phone number in the email — he called me like a day later...

he said he had a couple of shows in florida the day before already scheduled and if he was gonna come to the graduation he’d have to drive 15 hours straight to get there — i told him that i understood and thanks for calling to let me know he wouldn’t be able to do it...

and he was like “no you don’t understand i’m just telling you that it’s gonna take me 15 hours to drive there but i’ll be there” — and then he really fucking did that shit — he went 15 hours straight from his shows in florida to our little 8th grade graduation ceremony...

the kids were so fucking pumped — trae showed up exactly on the dot and gave a speech and then hung out for an hour and took pictures and signed autographs — he even literally gave one kid the hat off his head — that’s the kind of person trae is — houston is lucky to have him
