@ShaunMorash Pistons won with 6’1” Isiah Thomas and then again 15 years later with 6’3” Chauncey Billups. Becky just bumping her gums on espn with historical inaccuracy

@WSJ And average salaries will reflect the shortened work week. Same way that companies are now viewing work from home as a salary negotiation point. I find it hilarious that some of yall think ceos are interested in making YOUR jobs easier.

@ShaunMorash you see this? The people need you to complete this challenge when you go to Citi with Evan and Tiki.

I feel silly now cuz I just realized you guys are going through some mourning. My bad 😞

@questlove @blackthought I promise I’m a patient person, but I’m getting nervous about the Roots Picnic. If you can just confirm that it is, in fact, happening this year, I will chill and wait happily…

@Kil889 Cormega did it like 25 years ago with “American Beauty” from The Realness. Nas did it 20 years ago with “Who Killed It” from Hip Hop is Dead (a song I like but most others do not).

@Kil889 I want to a majority white high school and I can’t even front…that Hybrid Theory album used to bump in the football team locker room.

[APtheKid @APtheKid]

@Jodie_Tweetin Ok. So you didn’t know that preem produced for Aguilera. Got it. And you think that’s a stain on Preem?

And you don’t understand how an album can have rap production but not be rap?

Ok, I’m done here. Enjoy your day.

[APtheKid @APtheKid]

@Jodie_Tweetin I didn’t say anything about a Christina Aguilera hip hop album. I said it’s a pop album with hip hop production. If you didn’t know Preemo produced several tracks on “Back to Basics” just say so and thank me for teaching you something.

[APtheKid @APtheKid]

@Jodie_Tweetin And just to finalize this entire convo, in 1988, Billboard had a hip hop/r&b chart. They were the same chart (the black music chart). As far as billboard is concerned, they are the same genre. Which brings me back to my first point…Billboard is irrelevant.

[APtheKid @APtheKid]

@Jodie_Tweetin Humpin Around is R&B with new jack swing production and just like Don’t Be Cruel, features a rap verse, but isn’t a rap song.

[APtheKid @APtheKid]

@Jodie_Tweetin First of all, why can’t it be both? It’s an r&b song in the new jack swing style that features a rap verse. This is the problem with genres. Music don’t conveniently pack itself up into arbitrary categories. Is Wale’s song “Pretty Girls” a rap song or a go-go song?

[APtheKid @APtheKid]

@Jodie_Tweetin Also, people rapped over New Jack Swing a lot during the early 90s. Bobby Brown rapped verses on Don’t Be Cruel. Teddy Riley is one of the originators of that sound and he rapped while part of Wrecks n Effect. Let’s not do this.

[APtheKid @APtheKid]

@Jodie_Tweetin Let’s not talk about Billboard charts as it pertains to what is and what isn’t rap. Billboard let Post Malone cosplay as a rapper and he charted on rap charts. I could do an entire dissertation about music genres and billboard/grammy mislabels. But I won’t.

[APtheKid @APtheKid]

@snkr_twitr Wassup with Corporte shipping? Do they only ship to local addresses?

[APtheKid @APtheKid]

@Kil889 I don’t be on this app nearly as much as I used to but I had to come here for your sage words on the reaction of this Nas/Preem album. I feel like a stranger to the entire world with the way people have responded to the album.

@RayAmico @SleeperMets You wanna use our record vs the Braves in this argument 😳? Yikes. The Braves win the season series agains us EVERY YEAR.
