"During the Atlanta series Pat addressed our team"

–– Mike Brown on Patrick Ewing

In the Atlanta series the Knicks went down 2-1

They haven't lost since

In Da Club by 50 for this generation is the same year difference as Rapper’s Delight by the Sugarhill Gang was for us back then 🥀

Chopped cheese wasn't a thing in NYC broadly until the last 10 years. That was a Harlem thing, respectfully. We wasn't ordering chopped cheeses in the Bronx in the 90s, 2000s, or 2010s. Lets be real.

[Bill Hoyle ™️ @_BillyHoyleofNJ]

In my opinion your not a Knicks fan unless somebody has congratulated you personally this week 😂

[Ariel Helwani @arielhelwani]

For fans of a certain age, this truly means everything.

She 100% should have blown up. And the Rakim verse is so epic. He tells a rise and fall story in 20 bars thats a movie.

let’s all appreciate the sound system encased in glass that we all knew we shouldn’t touch or play with but we did anyway

When VH1 did Hip Hop Honors @fatjoe was a significant part of the first two. Even filling in for Keef Cowboy during the @DJFlash4eva & The Furious Five set. Never question his place in the culture.

I got my hands on 65 hours worth of live broadcast news coverage and special reports on the MOVE bombing which occurred 41 years ago today. I produced this piece using that archival footage.

On May 13, 1985, Philadelphia police dropped a C4 explosive on the home of the @themoveorganization family at 62nd and Osage Avenue, after 500 police fired over 10,000 rounds into the home. City officials allowed the fire to burn, killing 11 people including five children, and destroying 61 homes.

Eyewitness and forensic evidence indicates that several MOVE children attempted to flee the burning home through the rear but were either shot back inside or their bullet-ridden bodies were thrown back into fire by police waiting in the alleyway.

In 2021, it was revealed UPenn and Princeton had stolen the remains of several of the children and not only conducted experiments on them but also wheeled them out on gurneys at fundraising events.

John Africa's head has never been returned and saw marks on his neck indicate foul play during an unauthorized autopsy.

No one has ever been held accountable for any of it.

In 2023, @mikeafricajr bought the house back which was originally owned by his aunt Louise James, but was seized by the City through eminent domain after the bombing and turned into a police substation. He is barred from turning the home into a memorial until he pays off the $400K mortgage, support link below.

@pamsson Lmao I’m an old soul. He “jumped the shark”.

[Taj Jackson @tajjackson3]

I’ll answer since this is a very sensitive subject to me. Imagine since you were a teenager being told by everyone that you are worthless without your younger brother and you should thank him for everything you have. That’s exactly what my dad had to deal with his whole life. He told me that personally on multiple occasions. What do you think that does to your self esteem and life?

[ELLECT @Ellect217]

All this MJ talk lately and not enough people speaking on “Dangerous”. His best album imo.
