J Dilla in his basement studio in Detroit. Records wall to wall, floor to ceiling. The room where Erykah Badu, Common, and Questlove all came to work. Every sample, every chop started somewhere in those crates.
Dwele doesn’t get enough love. He has two phenomenal albums and countless timeless features in “Flashing Lights” by Kanye and “Tainted” by Slum Village
Sterling K. Brown, while promoting “Is God Is”, says he loves it when studios take a chance on new stories
“We need something new, man. I love the [Marvel Cinematic Universe] and the [DC Universe] as much as the next dude, right? But I also love original stories, and I feel like a lot of studios, to a certain extent, it's a bigger bet for them to do original stories because it's like, do we put it in the theater? Do we put it on a streamer? A lot of people are asking, ‘What does it take to incentivize people to leave their homes to go to the movies?’ Right?
And so, they want to go back on what's tried and true, proven and known IP. So, to take a chance on a new story that they think is worthy of a theatrical release is a big deal. It's a big deal to make a ‘Sinners’. It's a big deal to make an Is God Is because you don't know, but you're hopeful, right? I feel like the more chances we take... You can't stop making new stuff, [which] is basically what I'm trying to say. Because otherwise, we start regurgitating the same things over and over again. And stuff gets played. I don't wanna live in a world where I'm just doing what other people have already done. I wanna make something new.”
