The Pulitzer board wasn't moved, but Louisiana's Board of Pardons and Parole was. This is better than any recognition @LouderThanARiot has (or could have) received.

Mac home now.🙏🏿

Peace to him and his family, day one fans and supporters who've stayed true till this day.

My 1st work of non-fiction, Songs My Mother Taught Me: Why The Artist Must Take Sides - is out today wherever books are sold! I’ve never considered myself hiding behind poems, yet the straightforward prose and personal stories in this book have me feeling a bit naked lol.

Listen......the sole fact that Al. B Sure's In Effect Mode, Guy's First Album, Don't Be Cruel by Bobby Brown, New Edition's Heartbreak, and Sade's Stronger Than Pride all came out within a month of each other, from May 3, 1988 to June 20th, 1988 is a damn fool.....

for my @guardian debut, i wrote about how reducing a movement for Black lives to “woke 1.0” or “2.0” is wack as hell for a variety of reasons

Why can’t they use flock cameras to find out who is lynching Black people in Mississippi???

I like Kehlani through and through in part due to irrational solidarity with fellow Taurus women, but the piece of journalism missing right now asks why she had to wipe all political content from her social media before this latest run. From protest songs to folded overnight

TDE President Punch addresses Hip Hop chart placement on Billboard in featured verse on Nick Grant’s “Same Song” 👀

“[…]Foreshadow, prophesying. Dot told you the party was dying. Niggas thought that he was lying ‘til, them charts got magnified. Propaganda, MAGA vibes. Trump card got denied. I wonder if you know, we know you lie […].”

In the last decade, the media landscape has become unrecognizable. Independent magazines are endangered. But POW has weathered the storm and built a space for analog futurists, digital crate-diggers, and people who love and care deeply about music.

We have no illusions about saving music journalism on our own, but with your help we can be part of the solution.

Today, we're relaunching POW in its most fully realized form. Please consider a subscription.

The letter below explains more. The next episode starts now.

If you watch the Oscars on Sunday, you're going to see a LOT of accolades for Sinners. All earned, but I want to take a minute to point out the preacher, Jedidiah, is played by Saul Williams. It's a small part, but look him up and realize what an absolute legend he is.

@Jeremy_Hecht @JacobB198 curious now. can you name a few of your classics?
