People complaining about the Kendrick interview lets me know people aren’t used to real journalism anymore. They rather focus on entertainment than getting an artist’s perspective on how they engage with their craft

And we have the nerve to think we are more civilized than our ancestors. I’m still wrapping my head around The Great Wall Of Benin. Still savages
I can see it now. First you build hotels in Gaza. Then of course you go to the Ukraine. Find nothing but the best land and rebuild. ..

I mean, is his music really different than what he’s saying though? Thieves in the Night is like… right there. So is The Proud
I know you enjoy his music. It doesn't mean you have to agree with everything he does.

I could have been nicer about it but I don't debate idiotic beliefs. The idiotic belief that I was deriding was, "black people cannot be racist."

It's the same reason I make fun of flat earthers.

I’ve been waiting on a person to do it in front of me. Been wanting to, and patiently waiting to roll my sleeves up for a while now.
I may be late but...somebody on Tiktok is telling people that are STILL defending Elon... 'If Elon didn't do the Nazi salute... Do it... Go outside, do it exactly how he did it, record it in front of other people and see how they react' ...😂 😂 😂 #blacksky

The scariest thing about Rape Culture is you can be an activist, while actively being immersed in it. It’s a psychology of how you view women. A lot of questionable “body counts” out there.

Olaye doesn’t miss at all. A study of Rape Culture told through the lens of Aziz Ansari’s case. Short, sweet, and to the heart of it.

“Class” will always be inherently tethered with “race”. If I had a 400 year head start and started to lose traction, I’d try and reclassify it too.
So many white "allies" rush to tell us
"it's not about race" and "focus on class."

@karenattiah.bsky.social is right.
I was right. Black folks been trying to tell y'all the whole time. We get falsely accused of "hating white people" when we speak these obvious truths. It's always been about race.
And everyone who said it’s not about race.

The fact that the very *first moves* of Trump/Musk were to dismantle racial integration efforts (yes this is what I will call DEI), and destroy USAID, an agency that helped victims of South African apartheid.

This is White Supremacy 4.0 in action.

Kendrick’s GNX Is the Butterfly Pimped. The caterpillar fulfilled its mission and was what it needed to be. Now it’s operating on its own terms. #blacksky

Crazy how Push Thru is how I was introduced to him. Full circle moment here
Congratulations to Kendrick Lamar on his Grammy wins. He is not just an MC, he is a force of nature. He's having an epic run right now, and it's well deserved. I am honored to be mentioned as one of his influences. #hiphopsky

FTR: Goliath never stood a chance against David. David was a sniper, Goliath was old. Sling shots were sharp shooters with insane accuracy. It actually wasn’t fair to have David fight Goliath. A literal ‘knife to a gunfight’ match.

Bey got AOTY (finally), Kendrick swept while wearing a Canadian Tuxedo, Doechii gave a fire performance and even better speech, Tank & Bangas won for Spoken Word, Taylor Swift wearing Janelle Monae’s jacket she threw in the crowd…. This was a Black Ass Grammy event 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
