We are two queer Black artists who are dedicated to stewarding a just inclusive and thriving arts, farm and food culture in Mississippi. Can you give and/or share? We could definitely use the support https://t.co/Ug6A6IXtSt
Between Jidenna and Jeezy, I see the new hustle is rebranding ourselves as a "healed man" after decades of being a menace bc we've been in therapy for a spell and know a few psychological terms to lord over other men + potentially seduce new women.
To which I say, do better.
André 3000 mentioning his age as to why this current album isn’t a rap album isn’t ab being “too old” but started when what would become the double album Speakerboxx/The Love Below. André was over rapping 20+ years ago. At 48, he refuses pretend or be coerced. Major difference
Rappers like PAC & Biggie we’re stolen so early. And the older rap generation are still caught up in “relevance,” meanwhile the point was freedom. That’s what I gather “Dreams Once Buried Beneath The Dungeon Floor…” The Dungeon is where Outkast recorded their 1st album 🥹
I think about how young hip hop & Andre 3000 actually is…and how important it is for artists to keep growing. It’s nice to witness him circle back to your younger self that just wanted to be limitless expression & not necessarily a “hip hop legend.”
I'm up listening to the Andre 3000 album and wishing I'd held off a few months before writing this.

I’ve seen so much chatter about this. But the way this lady is on soundtrack AND casually starring in TV and film…it’s giving: LET HER COOK. Bc the chatter will chatter and then boom, this lady been in peoples heads for 20 years…so 🤷🏾♀️I look forward to the long game
For the most part @moworldwide comedic resume has always punched up & offered herself humanity & BW like her. What Mo has done & continues to do on screen and on stage lasts several lifetimes. Some terrible takes & opinions can’t shake the HUGE impact she has & will have. Period
The @moworldwide#mynameismonique Special left not a single crumb. The way she gave story, background, and flawless comedy. Truly one of the greatest entertainers of our lifetime. PERIOD!
While many of her contemporaries or comedic peers don’t understand why @moworldwide is a headliner, she makes it so clear why she been THAT BITCH, STILL THAT BITCH, & will forever remain THAT BITCH. A tastemaker and trailblazer #mynameismonique
🤣 like what?! Ain’t this person on 24? Honey, press record and eat banana. We would still gag and proclaim “ She ate that.” In short, 🖕🏾that corny advice from DG
Malia Obama is creating a short film at Donald Glover's company. Glover is mentoring her: “The first thing we did was talk about the fact that she will only get to do this once. You’re Obama’s daughter. So if you make a bad film, it will follow you around” https://t.co/ZPTGtZ9DW0
Andre is and has been so self deprecating. Girl, if you don’t like rapping just say that. If it frightens you, say dat. If you don’t like workin like dat, say dat. But continuing this nonsense that hip hop is a “young man’s” genre when it is less than 60 years old, BOY STOP
One day we will discuss how Black women were brought and capture here to be sex workers so it makes sense that the Renaissance to assert humanity would come from a “sex work handbook” initially…
