I love the power of words, nouns and verbs....

@CashJ @ChefAnthonyDC Literally the first place I thought of when my SIL sent me this post.

[Frederick Douglass Stare @NoIdeaOriginal]

300% agree. Show was a slow burn as well, but really gratifying towards the end of each season.

Nothing flashy, just pure storytelling done right.. trust me you need to watch this.

Or the time Big said Nas freestyled and rhymed so long and killed it...Big said he refused to follow him. 😂

[Madd Slander @madd___slander]

This must've been the time Nas got so high that him and Big never got to do the collaboration joint they were supposed to do

[Frederick Douglass Stare @NoIdeaOriginal]

Honestly, I'm pretty sure this is part of what Pimp C was talking about in his legendary (and unfortunately, one of his last) phone interview: "there's no more social commentary in the records." And Vince Staples seemingly confirmed this when talking about what he grew up on.

Listening back to old southern rap albums the last couple days is crazy cause idk when street rappers stopped being aware of systemic issues causing their situations in acute ways. Juvenile was calling out Bob Dole and Medicare reform policies by name

@GeorgeFoster72 ...weren't they LITERALLY BOOING as he's talking?!! 😂

[Frederick Douglass Stare @NoIdeaOriginal]

In 1995, this was all over the radio (at least in PG/DC/NoVa), MTV Jams, The Box and BET for like a month and a half during the summer.

That Craig Mack bar saying, "taste some defeat" is underrated, been in my head for 30 plus years. RIP.

[DJ R-Tistic @DJRTistic]

I didn’t hear this or see the video til five years ago. Did it get any radio or TV play?

[Frederick Douglass Stare @NoIdeaOriginal]

This is EXACTLY how I feel about the City. As a Commanders fan, I can say I don't love the Eagles, he'll, I don't even HATE them. But I have nothing but respect for that City and how they rep their squads.

Yesterday in Philly a six-year-old girl in the back of a car rolled down the window and yelled “boooooo” at me because I was in Philadelphia wearing a commanders shirt. She was smiling so big it was amazing she didn’t have any hate or anything. She just knew her mission and she accomplished it and that’s what I love about sports . it was the absolute greatest moment. I don’t love the Eagles, but I love Philadelphia.

@JoshTaylorFB Re-sign Treylon Burks. That's all I got. 🤷🏿‍♂️

Fun Fact: Betty Davis wrote, arranged, and produced every track herself at 28 — one of the first Black women to fully self-produce a major-label funk album.

How many of these 90's classics have you seen?

[Frederick Douglass Stare @NoIdeaOriginal]

100% accurate

What is and what ain’t considered the DMV including 757, and Richmond.

[Frederick Douglass Stare @NoIdeaOriginal]

@365CharlesParis Amazing. The only song I could do without is "Sell Out." "On My Block" is a song that still gets me emotional to this day. And I can't watch the damn video, STILL.

We Are One

[Frederick Douglass Stare @NoIdeaOriginal]

@TonyDaDome Yes. Folks keep talking about him getting in his own way, but that's for stuff outside the work. The work alone should stand there.

Personally, I think he just came along at a time (blog era) where the "Big 3" just shined larger.
