JAŸ-Z responds to Drake's 'The Jig Is Up' diss from 'ICEMAN' during a freestyle at the Roots Picnic in Philadelphia 👀
“A rapper can’t be my opp”
"The jig is up, n**** I'm up 10, wrong chart champ, n****s looked up to Hov, I never looked up to them"

“I’m going to cry. I’m a bitch. I got bitched out.”
Black inventor Julian Brown explains why he intentionally doesn't patent his technology. He learned from the inventor of the wireless car key fob, who had 70 patents but still had his invention stolen by GM. Brown says a patent just gives big companies a blueprint to copy your idea, and you can't afford the legal fight. He said to use trade secrets, like Coca-Cola did with its formula.

“Then I looked them dead in the eye, and I say ‘you dumb mother f*ckers’…”- Yahya Abdul-Mateen
A teammate of Yahya’s told him to join a drama class after watching him imitate his track coaches. Said, “It’s just like recess”. Yahya chose Ving Rhames, “Baby Boy” guns & butter monologue for his audition. What happened next was an epic performance, that launched a career that led him to it a Prime Time Emmy for his portrayal of “Wathcman’s” Mr. Manhattan.

The New York Times Magazine naming Jay-Z one of the 30 Greatest Living American Songwriters feels less like praise and more like confirmation of what’s long been true.
Even as a rookie, he rapped with the voice of experience, calm, precise, and already thinking three moves ahead. Jody Rosen points to that immediately: while others were “shootin’ stupid,” Jay was “carefully plottin’.” That same discipline carried him from Reasonable Doubt to ghostwriting “Still D.R.E.” to the bruised honesty of 4:44. He never chased what didn’t belong to him, and he said it himself: “If you’re trying to make young music and you’re not young, it’s gonna be inauthentic and people can feel that.”
Pusha T backed that up in the same piece. He said “Hovi Baby” flat out scared him, and pointed out that even Jay’s biggest commercial records never lost the weight of mixtape lyricism. That same authenticity is why Jay respected what Clipse did with Let God Sort Em Out: “I love what the Clipse are doing right now and how it’s authentic to them.”
He was even close to appearing on the album but stepped back because he wasn’t ready to say what needed to be said. At 56, that kind of restraint says more than forcing a verse ever could. That’s how legacies last!
A 13-year-old has officially accepted his admission to Morehouse College, making him younger than Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was when he entered the prestigious HBCU at age 15.
Joshua Suddith received over 20 college acceptance letters from across the country, but his heart was set on Atlanta. By 18 months old, Joshua was already a fluent reader.
