I tried to write a small tribute to a man I’d admired for much of my life...

If he's able to make 2-3 more albums, ain't no discussion yo. I'm sorry lol

Dianna: “I see you’re a Browns fan. I can FaceTime Hue Jackson for you”

Cop: “Ma’am, please step out of the vehicle”

When did he turn you on?

[leland @bruceleland]

Entire industry jacked his flow. Gotta be one of the best compliments as an MC

[🎵 🎼 🎶 @momentindex]

“Supa Dupa” lowkey shifted rap and nobody gives Big Sean credit for it.

After this, that punchline style was everywhere…

I feel like at some point, Brooklynites will have to realize that for the cost of an NYC one-bedroom, you can buy a 3,700 ft rowhouse in Baltimore.

Your Old Droog once tweeted this song was 9/11 for people who owned multiple copies of Liquid Swords by GZA and that tweet has been stuck in the back of my mind ever since.

Three horns, one breath, no one before or since.

Another bit about Stevie being unrivaled…

When doing a greatest hits album most artists record a new joint to promote the project. Usually not a banger. Focus is on the already known hits

For his greatest hits Stevie gave us

“That Girl”
“Do I Do”
“Ribbon In The Sky”

🤯

I’m not an airline guy but weren’t the potential outcomes:

1) merger approved, JB pays $4B, cuts routes they don’t want, lays those people off
2) merger disapproved, JB pays $0 and picks up the abandoned routes and pilots they do want

Isn’t it the same outcome minus $4B?

[Matt Stoller @matthewstoller]

Blocking the merger wasn’t a mistake. Illegal mergers are illegal. The mistake was deregulation and lawless mergers from the 2007-2016 that enabled predatory attacks on low fare airlines.

[Jeremy @EmbraceMeHere]

I still genuinely don’t buy that the American public has enough extra cash for a flight full of “premium” passengers.

I feel like Michael Jackson should've had a gangster grillz

[Kyle Potter @kpottermn]

For perhaps the last time: No one can afford to cheer for Spirit’s demise.

Their presence forced other carriers to lower fares for years - yes, even AA, Delta & United.

What a sad end to a pioneering airline. Combined with fuel prices, we’re entering a new era of higher fares.
