@OGxTP You saying jealousy is being nice. It’s colorism. If she were lighter none of this discourse would exist because it’d be disruptive and kitsch.

Most of the negative opinions on Sexyy Red are rooted in jealousy. Some ppl feel like once they “make it” they don’t have to encounter those they deem as “less than” and it’s always deeply unsettling to them when they see “hood” or “ghetto” people in the same or higher spaces.

@Eazee Digital zine. Not because the oral retelling of stories isn’t important but because your superpower is visual and graphic and to not use that feels like an oversight

So my question for yall has become: if I was to bring Eazee Street back officially; how do you see that looking? Is it a podcast (I hate that idea of being a podcaster)? A “show”? A recurring event (concert/festival)? A “magazine”? As a consumer, what’s missing for you?

Yesterday, WIRED learned that Madison Square Garden was suing us for our accurate reporting. We stand by our work. That’s why we’re removing the paywall from two of the MSG stories they don’t want you to read, making them free for everyone.

If you're smart, this is when you bet on Black.

Reading the the same book twice doesn't change the ending.

@Dimplez It’s coming!

I love making a living off of thinking critically

As an artist, especially if you’re young, I expect that your vision and knowingness will grow and develop over time. As you discover yourself, maybe you don’t need a label partner yet. Maybe the only support you need is a friend or partner that’s ready to grind with you.

As someone who has been both inside and outside of a few labels, there is nothing scarier than an artist who doesn’t have a clear understanding of who they are and what they want to say. To me, anything that isn’t a clear vision is “I’m not ready yet” and that’s okay.

@Sixfever @thefrenchwood Happy birthday!!!!!

Jeff Bezos asked a room to imagine going back a hundred years. When almost everyone was a farmer. And telling those farmers that in 2018 there’d be a job called “massage therapist.” Bezos: “They would not have believed you.” Then a friend took it further. Bezos: “Forget massage therapist, there are dog psychiatrists.” He looked it up. Bezos: “Sure enough, you can easily hire a psychiatrist for your dog.” The room laughed. The point under the laughter wasn’t funny at all. Every time a major technology shift hits, we do the exact same thing. We count the jobs it will destroy. We never count the ones it will create. Because we can’t. They don’t have names yet. The fear is always specific. AI will replace accountants. AI will replace radiologists. AI will replace drivers. The fear has job titles and timelines and projections. The opportunity has none of those things. Because you can’t name what doesn’t exist yet. A farmer in 1920 could understand losing his job to a tractor. He could not understand gaining a career as a social media strategist. Not because he lacked intelligence. Because the entire chain of inventions between his world and that job hadn’t been built yet. Radio. Television. The internet. Smartphones. Social platforms. Creator economies. Every single link in that chain had to exist before “social media strategist” could even be a sentence. That’s where we are with AI right now. Everyone is staring at the tractor. Nobody can see the thing seven inventions away that doesn’t have a name yet. The fear is loud because it fits inside language we already have. The opportunity is silent because it doesn’t. Every technological revolution in history created more jobs than it destroyed. Every single one. Not because anyone planned it. Because human needs expand faster than machines can fill them. We didn’t need massage therapists when we were breaking our backs on farms. We needed them after machines freed our backs and stress replaced labor. The demand didn’t disappear. It migrated somewhere no one was looking. That is exactly what’s happening right now. The jobs AI creates won’t make sense to us yet. They’ll sound as absurd as “dog psychiatrist” would’ve sounded to a farmer in 1920. Until someone is running a $200 hourly practice with a six-month waitlist. The entire conversation right now is about what we’re about to lose. Nobody is talking about what we’re about to gain. Because the gains don’t have vocabulary yet. A hundred years from now, someone will stand on a stage and describe the jobs we couldn’t imagine today. And the audience will laugh. The same way we just did.

@Navjosh @speriod Woooooow

rip hiphopdx.com, part of the foundation of my career... lots to say about how things went down there, but it was a crucial vein on the internet for a long time. sad to see every byline gone.
