Spike Lee reveals why he wanted to become a filmmaker

"The reason I became a filmmaker is my mother was a cinephile and my father hated Hollywood films."

"I'm the oldest of five, so I was my mother's movie date... she loved Sean Connery."

"One of the first films I remember she took me to see, Goldfinger. I was six years old... The theater is packed. Loud explosions, gunshots, everything."

"There was a lull in the action and it was quiet. So I looked at my mother and said, 'Mommy, why is that lady named Pûssy Galore?'"

"My mother grabbed me by the neck... The whole audience was dying laughing. It was quiet, so everybody heard my voice."

Big Sean realized he was robbed of $6,000,000 after he AUDITS Kanye Wests record label (G.O.O.D. Music & Universal) after spending Hundreds of Thousands of his own money to have an auditor to audit the Labels books! 🤯

Big Sean on Kanye: “I put $30 Million in this mans pockets & he OWES ME Money & he’s up BILLIONS!”

Big Sean gets frustrated & SNAPS!

“I F*cking drove myself to Depression! I sold 50Million records, I was a Top 10 selling artist from 2010-2020, I worked my A55 OFF BRO!”

“It effected me personally bro” 😢

Big Sean: “My manager (from Rocnation) said it was the WORST deal he has ever seen” 😳

Auditor revealed to Sean he was also missing substantial royalties that were allegedly paid directly to the label (Kanye’s pockets) instead of him.

This financial dispute & Kanye publicly “humiliating him” eventually led to Big Sean stepping away from Kanye West's label.

The music business is Ruthless.

This reminded me just how much of Black lesbian history in the late 2000s into the mid 2010s is preserved on YouTube. And also, generally, how big of a role YouTube played in connecting Black lesbians during that timeframe.

Lauryn Hill’s tribute allowed me to reflect on her legacy & what it meant for Miseducation to be the first hip-hop album to win album of the year.
An album about Black womanhood, vulnerability, relationships

We are able to feel her impact!

So keep it cute with the jokes

Reminder to journalists and editors to say Died of AIDS-related illness/complications as times change to reduce stigma. AIDS itself does not kill someone.
