Second best in the mix for me!

It’s my favorite one!!!

I think Maid of Honour is getting overshadowed… and it really shouldn’t be.

While everyone’s talking about ICEMAN, this is the Drake project the streets might be going back to the most.

Zara Larsson on Kodak Portra 400 Film. 🎞️

Media got pushed way off to the side, and there was only one small bleacher with three rows — all packed by the time I got there. So I ended up standing behind the bleachers in the corner with nothing but hope, an iPhone, and a camera.

After five years of shooting digital, I finally bought my first few film cameras, and this one is: the Contax G1. 🎞️📸

Chxrry’s U, Me & My Ego isn’t really about ego.

It’s about self-belief.

An album built on the idea that confidence isn’t arrogance—it’s trust in your vision before anyone else can see it.

Some classics aren’t instant—they’re slow burns.

30 years later, Reasonable Doubt is still the album many people consider Jay-Z’s greatest work.

Generator Rex was way ahead of its time.

16 years later, I still think it’s 1 of the most underrated cartoons of the 2010s. Great world-building, memorable characters, creative action scenes, & themes that were much deeper than most people realized.

Great in hand but too expensive for me.

The NBA Draft is about possibility.

Every pick represents years of sacrifice, early mornings, family support, and a dream finally becoming reality.

One month later, 6LACK’s Love Is the New Gangsta still feels like one of the most honest and intentional R&B albums of the year.

Day 173 of Culture Class 365: Why 6LACK’s Love Is the New Gangsta Is One of My Favorite Albums of the Year 🎶🖤

Three years later, Grudges is still a hit. Kiana Ledé didn’t make an album about perfect healing—she made one about heartbreak, accountability, and confronting the things we carry.

Day 172 of Culture Class 365: Why Kiana Ledé’s Grudges Is Underrated 🎶

This camera only has 1.6 megapixels… and somehow it’s one of the hottest cameras on Instagram right now.

Two years later, Born in the Wild doesn’t feel like an album you listened to. It feels like an era of your life.

Tems made an album about growth & trying to understand yourself.

Day 170 of Culture Class 365: Two Years of Born in the Wild and Why It Still Feels So Personal

For a certain generation, “Want U Back” was unavoidable. The second that chorus comes on, every lyric comes right back.

Day 168 of Culture Class 365: What Ever Happened to Cher Lloyd? The Story Behind “Want U Back” 🎤✨

What song instantly takes you back to the early 2010s?

The Knicks didn’t just create a championship moment… they brought New York memories back with it.

Modell’s selling Knicks merch before the win even happened says everything about nostalgia, timing, and culture.

Day 167 of Culture Class 365

The Knicks didn’t just win a championship.

They gave New York a shared moment of joy.

For one night, it didn’t matter what borough you were from, where you worked, or who you knew.

Day 166 of Culture Class 365: Why the Knicks Winning Is So Much Bigger Than Basketball 🏆🗽

[Christopher Claxton @Are__U__Sure]

53 years! That’s how long New York waited to see the Knicks raise another championship banner. 🏆🗽

An entire generation of fans lived through heartbreak.

Now, the New York Knicks are NBA champions.

ICEMAN doesn’t sound like an artist trying to prove he still belongs.

Three weeks at No. 1 later, the bigger question isn’t whether Drake still has it—it’s how this album will age.

Day 164 of Culture Class 365: How ICEMAN Reminded People Why Drake Is Still Drake 🧊

43 years later, “Billie Jean” is still one of the greatest examples of how music, storytelling, and performance can come together to create something timeless.

Day 163 of Culture Class 365: How “Billie Jean” Changed Pop Music Forever 🕺🏾

Laufey didn’t reinvent jazz.

She introduced it to a generation that may have never discovered it otherwise.

The best artists don’t just create fans, they create gateways to entire genres.
