@MoYeeezy That's you, sweetheart

Nas aged way better than Jay Z, culturally, and physically. And I liked Takeover, but when you listen to it and realize it’s a bunch of Number talk… it ages terribly.

@jokingofcourse @consequence Hence that makes you... never mind

@consequence he seems kinda dumb

In a new interview with GQ, JAY-Z spoke about the criticism that millionaires and billionaires receive and why he believes "your morality is not defined by a dollar amount." "And if so, what is that dollar amount? When does it start? If it's a cutoff like 'all millionaires are bad,' at $999,000 I'm good? It can't be that way. It doesn't make any sense. I got successful the hard way, in spite of the way the system is set up. Everything was against me. My talent pushed against all the headwinds and I got successful that way. And with that success, I've done things with my reach that I wanted to do that was helpful for a lot of people. "And I think that's most important—the things you believe in, the things you align with. Because a person with more money can do more good. It's a choice. Again, we're living in the real world. You can be realistic or idealistic. This is the system that we have. And with the system that we have, what are you going to do? ... "People behave the way they want to behave—it's not a dollar amount. It's almost like a cop-out. You get to demonize this group of folks without fixing the actual system that exists, that's in play. [Money] may enhance it or may cause you to act in a way. But you was going to act like that anyway." consequence.net/2026/03/jay-z-…

@jcversace @consequence People ruin their own lives. Look up accountability, son

@consequence Jay-Z sold crack cocaine and ruined people's lives. So that he could make a ton of money and start a record label. He is the definition.

@ATRightMovies Running Scared

What was the first film you saw Joe Pantoliano?

@kingkongkenn @Kurrco And? Ain't nothing free. On either side of politics

@Kurrco it wasn’t a “heavy right wing agenda” when Trump pardoned his CEO 🤓

JAY-Z says there is a “heavy right wing agenda” to silence voices in the culture, and believes stan culture is helping fuel it: "There is clearly an agenda to silence voices in our community, a heavy right wing agenda... We live in a strange time." (via GQ)

@Variety Not a Republican and I agree 100%

Vince Vaughn is criticizing late night TV shows for having political agendas: "You don’t want to become part of a group and feel like you’re a champion for one ideology. You want to make fun of everybody." “The podcasts have gotten so much more popular with less production, less writers, less staff. And the reason is … people want authenticity. The talk shows, to a large part, became really agenda-based. They were going to [evangelize] people to what they thought. And so people just rejected it because it didn’t feel authentic. It felt like they had an agenda. It stopped being funny, and it started feeling like I was in a fucking class I didn’t want to take. I’m getting scolded.” (via "This Past Weekend podcast) variety.com/2026/tv/news/v…

@IamShawnBird @CinemaTweets1

@CinemaTweets1 Probably shouldn't use one of his worst scenes.

Denzel Washington has never worked with Paul Thomas Anderson or Martin Scorsese. Am I asking for too much? I am but a meager fan of Cinema. I just want to see one of the best actors alive work with two of the best directors alive. I pray to the Cinema Gods this still happens.

@ClaudetteGGibs1 Pay her

Black woman ICe agent. This is what betrayal looks like to me.

@Thictee @RollingStone what did u see him do?

@RollingStone Can’t wait until they lock him up

For the first time, Jay-Z spoke about the "uncontrollable anger" he felt over the suit (which has been dropped) and why he couldn't channel those feelings into new music. Read: rollingstone.com/music/music-ne…

@DavidoPolice "should be"

It’s 2026, and this is how weddings should be: just the man, his wife, and the pastor.

@infamousbxdon @TomBrad48246497 Make your own sneakers

@TomBrad48246497 Are Jordan’s sneakers not made by Asian child slave labor? Idiot

There’s no way you become a billionaire without taking advantage of someone somewhere let’s be serious

@infamousbxdon There's a difference btwn using people and abusing/misusing people though.

@covie_93 Hire them then

Seeing Black ICE agents doesn't sit right with my spirit.

@OutofContextGRP @A2HHTheGame Nas was playing the dozens, it was sheer anger with Ether. Takekover was more clever

@A2HHTheGame That ether still burns till this day

Jay-Z confirms that the Nas BAR ‘Lex with tv sets the minimum’ was The beginning of their battle and he regrets he and nas were beefing: “I actually regret that, because I really like Nas. He’s a really nice guy” - Jay-Z

@Zrke24 @A2HHTheGame With 2.8B u think he cryin? Cmon TZ

@A2HHTheGame Regrets it cause he got waxed on Either, him fucking Carmen confirms he didn’t give a fuck back then Cmon Jay

@brandonousley Beautiful. Chicago artists hit different, man.

Album of the day. Couldn't let the day pass without acknowledging Chaka Khan's 73rd trip around the sun. Jazz music was never too far from the Chicago-born artist, as she soaked up its figures and influences since childhood. It's the foundation that shaped her brassy, expansive voice and she dipped and dapped in it throughout her career. But in 1982, she took a brave left turn in the middle of her blossoming solo career and recorded this stellar acoustic bop excursion, Echoes of an Era. Joined by an exceptional group of jazz luminaries, including Joe Henderson on tenor sax, Chick Corea on piano, Stanley Clarke on upright bass, Lenny White on drums, and Freddie Hubbard on flugelhorn and trumpet, Khan and the crew interprets a well-chosen selection of jazz standards and songs from the Great American Songbook. Khan fiercely ran through the paces on a series of Corea’s athletically complex arrangements. First, the Pinkard/Tracy/Tauber standard “Them There Eyes,” then the Ella Fitzgeraldesque swoop-and-scat “All Of Me,” followed by a galloping romp through Thelonious Monk’s “I Mean You” that is full of unison jumps and masterful comping and soloing from Corea. Her interpretations of George Gershwin’s “I Loves You Porgy,” Billy Strayhorn’s “Take The ‘A’ Train,” Frank Loesser’s “I Hear Music,” and Fran Landesman's "Spring Can Really Hang You Up the Most" are freshly rendered in Khan style—graceful, lovely, and free. It's also worth mentioning that these selections were all reportedly recorded in one take, done up in the old-fashioned way with mics on everybody and no overdubs. A true once-in-a-lifetime collaboration.

@brandonousley A multi-faceted bedroom epic from beginning to end. Even the instrumental to After the Dance. Leon Ware underrated to tears.

Album of the day. There's nothing to further express about the greatness of Marvin's Gaye's uber-sexy 1976 classic, I Want You except happy 50th anniversary.

@brandonousley "In Time" is Sly's last piece of uncut genius to me. Miles played it for his band time and again and I understand why.

Album of the day. Often regarded by many as Sly & the Family Stone's final classic (an honor that should truly be given to 1974’s Small Talk or even Sly Stone's underrated 1975 solo effort, High on You), Fresh is undoubtedly a ‘70s funk essential from start to finish. After the dark, claustrophobic end-of-the-'60s masterpiece, There's a Riot Goin' On and the departure of master bassist, Larry Graham and drummer Gregg Errico, Sly Stone retooled his band for the first time with a few new recruits and turned their attention to a laid-back sound. By this point, they ventured heavily into the murky, dense, bass-centric style of Riot, albeit being less intense. This album is best known for “If You Want Me to Stay,” a forever quotable funk jam that boasts an infectious bassline skating around an uncomplicated, stripped-down groove. Like that hit single, Fresh also marked Sly turning fiercely inward as a lyricist, detailing the morning after what would have almost been a fatal drug overdose in the gospel-like testimonial “Thankful N’ Thoughtful” and even referencing his two-year recording absence in the classic opener, “In Time.” At its best, there are loping, jazzy funk grooves over which Sly wails out passionately and the band lets loose. There's plenty of horns, chanted gospel-honed background vocals (courtesy of Sly's sister group, Little Sister), and some of the slickest drum rhythms known to man. But the true star of this album is newcomer Rustee Allen, who joined the band after Larry Graham's departure. Hearing him anchor such standouts like "In Time," the downbeat “Dance to the Music”-sequel “Keep on Dancin’,” and "Let Me Have it All" with his thumpy slap bass style is nothing short of revelatory.
