She said Migos' music represented the creativity and culture of the Black community, and she worried the group would be too saddened to make new music _ at least for a while. "It's just something that you can play anywhere, and everybody will just come out and come around and dance," she said. "It's how it brings people together. It's how it makes the whole room just fill up with positivity."(AP Photo/Sudhin Thanawala)
