Parabéns ao queridíssimo Paulinho da Costa!

i liked "conscious rap" all the way up until social media got hot and i found out all these dudes i thought were smart were actually stupid as hell and dont read and i shouldnt listen to them

rap moved from street tales to rich republicans whining about getting cancelled, reagan won

Pitch….correction. And Just dawned on me @TheRealTank is 50 years old…making Y2K boy band level R&B with a vocally chipmunk processed artist stuck between 17 Again and Forever 21. Should be ashamed you at colonoscopy age singing some hashtag body goals.

‘MICHAEL’ has crossed the $600M mark at the global box office.

my opinion of american academia has never been lower

Mind you all of the media was against it, Critics against it, and it had a late marketing campaign and its still doing shit like this. It beat devil wears Prada 2 WITHOUT IMAX

Gentrification of Black American culture is never gonna sit right with me, Because I know years from now they’re gonna act like it was a collective effort by everyone, and deny the Black American originators

We should actually call albums a piece of shit more, not less. Need radical redirection from the stan era and private equity firm run media’s desperation to appease them. Fuck em all.

"Fascism has won and all we can do is party and have fun" if you were wondering why the politics of Drag Race always felt so vapid: the host is a rich liberal who'd have you go down without a fight in the face of fascism. Queer people deserve better idols than this.

White people jokes be like “racism and sexual violence lol”

Media struggled with a figure who became too globally, too culturally dominant & too commercially successful. As Stuart Hall suggest, systems become uncomfortable when a Black figure like Michael Jackson stop being an exception and become the absolute center of global culture.

It is not just trying to rebrand itself. France is actively in search of new colonies. This is not speculation or Pan-Africanist conspiracy theory. Two years ago, Macron presented a plan to his own parliament explicitly identifying anglophone and lusophone African countries as France’s new strategic frontier, the next territory to be brought into the orbit of French influence now that francophone Africa has had the dignity to show it the door. The methodology might be different because we are not 1946. The vocabulary will be partnership, investment, security cooperation, cultural exchange. But the result will be identical because the logic has never changed. So to our “anglophone and lusophone” brothers and sisters across the continent, congratulations on your new status as France’s next strategic frontier. That status earned our countries labelled as “francophone” 7 places out of the top 10 poorest countries in Africa. It really pays to speak fluent “comment allez vous?”.

Sad to say but in a Chris Brown dominated and gatekept r&b world things will never get better for any artists that don’t make that kinda sound until his cultural hegemony is over

Prince's official page reposting this... 🤍 He knew. #ApologizeToMichaelJackson

All the Kevin Hart roast proved is that Will Smith should’ve supplexed Chris Rock on stage

well no. and that’s precisely why y’all need to read afropessimism to disabuse suffering from anti-blackness.
