Aslan burcuna aşık olmak, hayatın bir anda renklenmesi gibidir. Çünkü Aslan’ın sevgisi sıradan değildir; büyük yaşar, büyük hissettirir. Seni sevdiğinde sana kendini özel hissettirmeden duramaz. Girdiği ortamı ışığıyla değiştiren insanlardandır. Gururludur ama sevdiğine karşı inanılmaz koruyucudur. Aslan’ın sevgisi insanın özgüvenini bile değiştirir. Çünkü onun gözünde değerliysen, bunu her halinden anlarsın.
Dawn Angelique Richard spoke a fucking word. Her IG Live yesterday was very enlightening and insightful. This is why I have no issue with Tinashe, Ciara or Kelly Rowland being full fledged pop girls. Dawn said it:
“You guys ask for R&B but don’t buy the albums”
Thank God Dawn has never let the color of her skin box her in. As an indie act, she has creative freedom. Financial Freedom is another thing. So if she’s gonna make an album, she’s gonna make what pays.
Rihanna remaining primarily pop her entire career was the smartest thing she ever did. You saw the shift from her first to second albums. ‘Music Of The Sun’ - 500K.
‘A Girl Like Me’ - platinum with a #1 single.
SZA: ‘SOS’ will be a diamond album shortly. She erased labels & genres and WON BIG.
Stephanie Mills also spoke on this: “They don’t want R&B from us”
So until Black R&B artists get the support deserved from labels & consumers, stop asking. Stop asking for nostalgia records for engagement. Y’all don’t buy the shit.
Go. Get. The. Album.
The shit costs money to make. You have to pay writers, producers, engineers, photographers, distributors. Then, tours have to be funded.
For an album y’all ain’t buy, stream or download.
You MAYBE press play on ONE record.
Example: Sevyn Streeter’s amazing ‘Drunken Wordz Sober Thoughtz’ album. She delivered, y’all just didn’t buy it.

@TheRealBig5ive4 It becomes your personality. You never truly fit in anywhere else. It doesn't matter how unique or quirky another city is, they'll never be as FRIENDLY as New Orleans and they won't cook the same. It might be the only place on earth that's equal parts crazy, friendly and tasty.
When the sun breaks through the fog outside Jackson Square and Carnival time is in the air…it feels like New Orleans is holding its breath in the most beautiful way. 💜💛💚

Mercy is when you can’t even explain how you’re surviving, yet you are. You don’t have it all figured out, but each day, God sends help, encouragement, and provision right when you need it—showing up quietly but powerfully.
