A White man is coming through with the receipts. One of Nolan Xavier Wells’ so-called friends is the son of a judge, and they all lawyered up. This is why Black folks need a hate crime Bill
Rakim spent 40 years in hip hop without a single Grammy nomination.
Not one. Zero. The man Eminem called "probably the greatest rapper of all time" was never even considered.
On May 8, 2026, that finally changed. Paid In Full was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame at the Beverly Hilton in Los Angeles. Thirty eight years after the album that permanently changed how every rapper writes, delivers and thinks about lyricism.
Before Rakim, rappers rhymed at the end of lines. He changed that. Internal rhyme schemes, multi-syllable patterns, a cold and untouchable delivery nobody had heard before.
The Grammy Hall of Fame is not a Grammy. But after 40 years, it is recognition.
The God MC finally got his flowers.
Shot Out to William Michael Griffin AKA Rakim Allah 😎😎😁😁
Before there was crossover, there was Nat King Cole.
As one of Capitol Records’ first major stars, he helped establish the label as a powerhouse.
One of the greatest pianists and vocalists America ever produced, Nat didn’t just make hits—he changed what was possible. He broke television barriers, sold millions of records, and proved that elegance, musicianship, and excellence could never be contained.
When people look back on this era, they often point to Frank Sinatra. But Nat King Cole was already setting the standard. Much of the sophisticated pop style that later became associated with Sinatra had already been embodied by Cole.
Every great singer who came after him owes him a debt.
I know exactly what to do to get bigger numbers. But numbers ain’t worth it. Teaching this music history and breaking down the science of music is more important. Salute to the people that want information. I ain’t selling out music for clicks. I’m good.
The Supreme Court used the 14th Amendment—created strictly for the descendants of Freed slaves—to secure citizenship for everybody else. Since they gave our exclusive legal protection to the rest of the globe, they owe us a new one. Pass an Foundation Black American Special Protection Bill.
