To exist is to change, to change is to mature, to mature is to go on creating oneself endlessly - Henri Bergson

Quincy Jones asked for a song called “Pretty Young Thing.” Michael handed him a mid tempo late night groove that sounds like it belongs on Off the Wall but Quincy wanted something faster. James Ingram wrote a completely different song that kept the “P.Y.T” title and became the Thriller hit. This demo version sat in the vault until 2004. No tenderoni, no chant, just MJ singing like he’s telling you a secret At 3 a.m.

Two songs, same three letters and two different moods, the one they left off still slaps 🔥🔥

Us normal niggas: “Kanye West displayed very high nasty levels of racism towards his own people, sided with racist Orange man, sided with Hitler, wore a ‘white lives matter’ shirt, told us Black people that slavery was a choice and many other things that tells us he is not FOR us at all…”

Kanye stans: “yeah but…”

But??? BUT?? Nah my nigga there is no “BUT”.

Gary Oldman as Dracula.

One of the best to portray the Villain with the most films and TV shows made of them.

Suave. Sophisticated. Viscious and ultimately tragic.

There are actors who play villains, and then there was Tim Curry.

This scene from Ridley Scott’s Legend has stayed with me since childhood. Until this moment, Darkness has existed mostly as a presence: whispered about, feared, glimpsed in shadow. Then he steps into the light, and Tim Curry somehow makes the impossible seem real.

The makeup and Rob Bottin’s extraordinary design are part of it, of course, but the performance is what gives Darkness his power. The voice. The physicality. The deliberate way Curry moves and speaks. He could be frightening, seductive, funny and completely theatrical without ever seeming embarrassed by any of it. He understood that some characters demanded you go bigger, and few actors ever did that with more confidence.

For a generation raised on fantasy, horror and strange movies discovered on VHS, Curry seemed to be everywhere: The Rocky Horror Picture Show, Clue, It, Muppet Treasure Island and countless voices we knew before we even knew they were his.

But Darkness will always be special to me. One of fantasy cinema’s great villains, brought to life by an actor who understood exactly what a creature like this needed.

The world just became a little less interesting.

Rest in peace, Tim Curry.

Kool Moe Dee says the first sellout in the hood was the drug dealer.

He makes a valid point here.

PEOPLE NEED TO WAKE UP...

Your 7-year-old wakes up exhausted.
Not because he's sick.
Because it's 6AM.

You pour him cereal.
Not because it's healthy.
Because it's quick.

He stares at an iPad.
Not because it's good for him.
Because you need to get ready.

The school calls later:
"He can't focus"
"He can't sit still"
"He needs testing"

The doctor writes a prescription.
Not because your boy is broken.
Because the system is.

The truth?
His brain is FIGHTING:

- Chemical food dyes
- Sugar crashes
- Screen addiction
- Sleep deprivation
- Natural energy

But we medicate the child
Instead of fixing the cause.

Your grandfather's kids:

- Played outside
- Ate real food
- Slept well
- Moved freely

No pills needed.

Modern parenting isn't convenience.
It's warfare. Against your own child.

Give him a chance:

- Clean food

- Real sleep

- Free play

- Natural movement

DON'T give him pills.
The system wants patients.

NATURE MADE WARRIORS.

CHOOSE WISELY...

Hip Hop Awards don’t even do cyphers anymore because nobody knows how to freestyle. Our genre has turned into a get rich quick scheme for people who don’t even like music

I've been saying this for years. The more often someone flaunts having a therapist the more I think of theirs as an enabler on payroll.
