A beautiful requiem for the miracle that was D'Angelo.

The pen, the voice, the face, the talent.

The three classics.

The genius that he could summon by force of will.

The impossibility of categorizing him.

The void that his death leaves.

Dug this heartfelt tribute to D'Angelo by @abebeame.bsky.social. "With each project that parallel line between the sound of mainstream R&B & whatever TF D’Angelo is up to continued to diverge...but the songs were no less potent or beloved." HT @nitishpahwa.com | www.passionweiss.com/2025/10/14/d...

Wrote about a beloved, once thriving industry in decline and why you’re all responsible for it.

"Ramen Weather" is a Construct. In NYC, it's Killing an Industry.
The "ramen weather" phenomenon is largely confined to the Northeast, and it’s badly stunting the growth of a once-thriving, now arguably in decline genre of cuisine.

This is a good deep dive on Meek. Being Philly all the way down to my bones means he reps the city and vice versa but it's known that his limitless talent is matched only by the fucking mess of a life he has outside the studio.

Also he lost a rap beef to Drake, but mainly it's the other things.
