Genesis speaks directly to the role & necessity of imagination. Art has never been trivial. The opening line of the Bible, five words in, is the only way we survive—the only way we have our being.

“In the beginning, God created.”

@DevinnEdwards Absolutely and without flinching!

I’m beginning to see the foreshadowing of the fact that we’re only receiving the story of #TheChi because Bakari wrote the book (no one paid attention to at first) and then passed away.

I just want the writers to know that if it’s true… you’ll have a hater in me forever.

RIP

Sonny's Bridge (Faith Ringgold, 1986)

[Chelsea S. @UmEarth2Chelsea]

It was 1986. Sonny Rollins fell, broke his heel, and kept playing his tenor sax.

My favorite Earth, Wind, and Fire fact will be that that’s the band’s name because Maurice White didn’t have any water signs in his chart.

And I love talking about it.

As much as Yasiin is hip-hop, he’s also the screen. There isn’t a character he hasn’t loved to life.

[IAMNJERA @IAMNJERA]

Unrelated: Yasiin Bey got the craziest range of acting credits.

Decades ago Miles Davis recorded the full albums Workin', Cookin', Relaxin' and Steamin' in two marathon 1956 sessions to get out of his Prestige contract. The big difference was they were all classics....

Being asked a really good question feels phenomenal. The type of question that leads to a thoughtful conversation where I almost have to collect my thoughts before diving into it. That scratches my brain so goood. It makes me feel so known and desired

In the end, Eleanor hopped on a boat and got far away from white people.

If people who think only exist for you on social media, you have to change the people you hang around. That's dangerous.

This shit only exist on social media I swear

Usher looked us in the eyes and stood hand in hand with Diddy, the abuser, last month. This month, it’s Chris Brown, the abuser.

Those are choices.

Raphael Saadiq writing, producing, playing every instrument, and singing the background vocals on an Elmiene track?

My God, I’m obsessed. This thing feels like a baptism.

They Cloned Tyrone should’ve 100% been a theatre release. Such a loss that it wasn’t.

Last night immediately sent me back to his Verzuz performance from February 2021.

5 years later, and that moment will forever be in conversation with this one.

Before Lauryn sang “Nothing Even Matters,” she mentions that her and D’Angelo never got to perform it together.

Midway through the song, the camera did this beautifully intentional pan to an empty keyboard. It was the holiest moment of the night.

He was in the room.
