"Imagine if a blueprint for a better future could be found in Hip Hop, a culture that has always remixed division into unity, scarcity into abundance, and obstacles into opportunities."

What an incredible and inspiring weekend for Hip Hop culture. I was honored to keynote and then just be immersed in the inaugural “To The Best Y’all” symposium. My crappy recap reel doesn't begin to do it justice. Rest assured, the CULTURE is alive and well & fully capable of helping save America!

An interesting aspect of the Charlie Kirk killing is that both Kirk and his killer drove down the same indoctrination highway -- they just got off at different exits.
Worse, the right found a way to infiltrate communities they previously couldn't touch.

Phenomenal breakdown of PragerU's impact on public education by our very own @mannyfaces.com. Unf*ckers know Manny as our engineer extraordinaire, but he's also one of the foremost scholars on Hip-Hip in American culture and education.

As our beloved teachers celebrate this last weekend of summer, many face a darkening and daunting time ahead.
Yet, a brilliant and innovative intersection exists that can provide valuable tools for resitance against the dismantling of our education system.

Trump's attack on The Smithsonian isn't because he thinks there should be more focus on "American exceptionalism," or because these things are "too woke" or "makes white people look bad..."
It's because they make Black people look good. Strong. Brilliant. Resiliant. Loving. Human.
They hate that.
