Billboard's R&B and hip-hop team has been crushing it lately - great reads, smart analysis, funny observations. I'll overlook the pro-Knicks tweets.

Too many strong pieces to highlight, just follow @TheRealCL24 @heranmamo @ADiaz456 @thisisdscott @GailNMitchell @LordTreeSap!

Listening to @RadioFreeKJLH pay tribute to #LutherVandross reminded me of when we met in the early 2000s. He was down to earth, funny and passionate talking about his craft. Seeing him perform ‘A House Is Not a Home.’ is a highlight for me. He was the consummate entertainer. 👑🕊️
