Charleston White goes off on J Prince for telling him he needs to check in when he’s in Houston 😳
“Why don’t you make white people check in? Make Post Malone and Taylor Swift check in too”
Bass Reeves was the first Black American commissioned to serve as a deputy marshal west of the Mississippi River. He brought to justice over 3,000 criminals and killed fourteen outlaws during his years as a marshal.
Most people have heard of Wyatt Earp or Wild Bill Hickok, but far fewer know the name Bass Reeves, even though his record as a lawman surpassed nearly everyone of his era.
Born into slavery in Arkansas in 1838, Bass Reeves gained his freedom during the Civil War and went on to become one of the first Black Deputy U.S. Marshals west of the Mississippi River. At a time when prejudice shaped nearly every aspect of American life, Reeves built a reputation based on courage, discipline, and an unwavering commitment to justice.
For more than 30 years, he patrolled the vast and dangerous Indian Territory, an area that included much of present day Oklahoma. Historians estimate that he arrested more than 3,000 fugitives during his career and survived countless encounters with armed outlaws. His remarkable marksmanship, ability to track suspects across difficult terrain, and knowledge of several Native American languages made him one of the most effective lawmen of the American frontier.
Bass Reeves was also known for his clever tactics. On one occasion, he disguised himself as a preacher to get close enough to capture two wanted men without firing a shot. He often relied on patience, strategy, and intelligence rather than brute force, proving that good policing required much more than carrying a badge.
Perhaps the most remarkable part of his story was his character. Reeves was known for enforcing the law fairly, regardless of race, wealth, or personal relationships. In one well documented incident, he even arrested his own son after the young man was accused of murder. Reeves believed that justice should apply equally to everyone, no matter how difficult the circumstances.
Some historians have suggested that Bass Reeves may have inspired the fictional Lone Ranger, although there is no definitive proof. Whether or not that connection is true, there is no question that his real life accomplishments are extraordinary enough on their own.

Thank you to Benard for such a cool track and then Trackmasters, multi successful music production duo, did magic with the sample on Bad Boy records and LL Cool j song. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
🎶 “Who Do You Love?”
Nobody on the planet hates this song. 😂 It’s such a jam. I have a soft spot from post-disco, pre-new jack swing R&B (it’s all over the 90s, in terms of what Bad Boy and Trackmasters were doing.) Bernard Wright was truly a musical genius worth a deep dive.
Who mentioned anything about a conspiracy? It’s facts versus “sh!t hit close to home.” Perhaps you should research the artists who sign with specific music labels. People don’t read; they prefer jumping to conclusions and attaching a name to something. Remember, “receipt before emotions” or “that ‘Sh!t hit close to home’ read about death, clauses, and contractual agreements before you throw the word ‘conspiracy.’” Empire Records, 1017 Records, Arista Records, Atlantic, and so on, and still, you don’t get it. 😑
