When Marcus Aurellius was conquering Rome, he hired an assistant who's sole job was to whisper "You're just a man" to his ear. This kept Aurellius focused through every tragedy and triumph he came across. "You're just a man", is a reminder that such things (ups & downs) happen❤

Lionel Messi needed 202 games to reach 123 international goals for Argentina. Cristiano Ronaldo has scored 145 goals for Portugal in 230 games. Even Neymar scored 79 goals for Brazil in 129 appearances.

Then there’s this absolute freak of nature called Erling Haaland.

60 international goals in just 52 games for Norway.

Forget the fact that he has more goals than appearances. Have you realized that Norway doesn’t play nearly as many major tournaments as Argentina, Brazil, or Portugal? And even when they do qualify, they usually don’t make deep runs.

Now, in his very first World Cup, Haaland has already scored 5 goals… and the tournament isn’t even over yet.

And the craziest part?

He’s only 25 years old.

At this rate, he could shatter records held by some of football’s greatest legends in a remarkably short time.

Congratulations to Erling Haaland and Norway on qualifying for the Round of 16! 🇳🇴👏

@MbeleNkosilathi @mr_shimmy This is actually directed to the government. The protests finally made the government to address the elephant in the room. Now they are forced to take action. Stop trying to sound smart by constantly trying to move the goal posts.

Prof Kgositsile's son, Earl Sweatshirt, also did a tribute for his Uncle Hugh. He uses the song as one of the opening tracks for his live shows.

Long live Bra Willie, long live Bra Hugh. Long life to Thebe.

🎥After Robot: Kwaito Music in Johannesburg (2002)

So...Kwaito did in fact have visionaries lol.

What we tend to 4get is that Kwaito existed within fragile post-apartheid media economies that later shifted under platformisation and commercial radio/tv restructuring.

Anyway, here’s my favorite clip from Joy James talking about the class divide between the Black middle class and poor.

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.
