Things Fall Apart

The 90’s Parisian styling to compliment the atmosphere >>>

May 23, 1982 was the last time the Sixers beat the Celtics in the playoffs. ‘Twas a Game 7 in Boston too. Andrew Toney and Dr. J combined for 63 points. As for what was going on in the world: — Michael Jordan hit the game-winner vs. Georgetown two months earlier — Michael Jackson was still recording Thriller. — #1 song in the country was Paul McCartney and Stevie Wonder’s “Ebony & Ivory.”

I know people react badly to it because they don’t want to feel judged or condescended to, but there’s no defense for the low literacy rate here. It’s not an individual problem, it’s a complete dismantling of the national project. Now being literate is framed as pretentious.

They should do a criterion closet type thing but instead it's action directors in an armory

@_Zeets “Working on a creative team” That full description sounds like the creative team. Wild what people are trying to get away with lol.

This is like 4 different jobs

I'm not a hater, I'm a copywriter

Stevie Wonder recording "As" during the making of Songs in the Key of Life, 1976. A song about unconditional love, and one of the most transcendent recordings of his career.

Most people picture Philly as skylines and glass towers, but the real city lives in the rows. Block after block of brick homes, front steps, and narrow streets, that’s where Philadelphia was built. Long before Center City views, these houses held generations of workers, families, and neighbors who made the city what it is. This is where life happens every day, where steps turn into conversations, where everyone knows your business whether you like it or not, and where blocks become their own little worlds. The skyline might get all the attention, but Philly’s identity is in these streets. In the bricks, the steps, the shared walls, and the neighborhoods that feel like home.

Had the honor of writing the liner notes essay for @Criterion's John Singleton box set. RIP to him, and thank you for being so bullish about telling our stories. criterion.com/current/posts/…

“[The boxset] completes the vision of a director like Singleton, who made his films for the people and by the people.” For @ebertvoices, I reviewed @Criterion’s release of John Singleton’s Hood Trilogy feat. Boyz n the Hood, Poetic Justice, and Baby Boy. rogerebert.com/dvd-blu-ray/jo…

God, give me the restraint to not say what I want to say.

Niggas don’t even know about this

20 years ago, Lupe Fiasco pulled up to Fletcher’s in Chicago to promote his new single "Kick, Push." This was just days before the Food & Liquor leak, when it still had it's original June 06 release date Lu shows off his signature Reeboks & announces the song was added to Hot97

@The_SummerMan been saying this for over 20 years

I'll say it: "The Girl Is Mine" is overhated
