This is a great thread that I mostly agree with. But I want to point out that it's important to read more than white/mainstream pubs that monopolize *impact* views (NYT, P4K, etc). XXL still has decent trend/critical writing on occasion. Here's an example. https://t.co/yxTF7xb15m

even now, I think it's under appreciated that every single year the XXL Freshman Class still manages to inflame rap fans, many of whom weren't even sentient when it first debuted, despite nobody really paying attention to XXL at any other point in the calendar

@CineMasai_ LOL...I was commenting on the fact they removed your byline. I see you, of course.

KA is one of the most unique artists I've encountered in any idiom, from his methodology and approach to his craft to his voice. His sudden passing is a stunning and tragic loss.

@hd__angel_ I just noticed you're following me and I didn't follow back. Sorry about that. Hope you're good.

[Humthrush @humthrush]

@brandonousley I wonder how much contemporaneous critical writing about Maze exists. (Maybe it can't be easily found online.) I also noticed most if not all of the Frankie Beverly obituaries reference Beyoncé, the Essence Festival, or the samples...but barely discuss the band as *artists*.

@jacobscheier Ha ha ha ha......okay, sure!

@MMLunlimited Terrace Martin has played on a few R&B radio hits, notably YG's "My Krazy Life" run.

@caltrops_press Given that X-Raided has long argued for his innocence – and given his historical importance in regional street rap – it seems off to simply dismiss him as a "convicted murderer." That's irrespective of whether the music is good (I haven't listened yet).

[Humthrush @humthrush]

@caltrops_press The sentence about X-Raided feels a bit tone deaf, though.

@humthrush Oh, that's fucking terrible news. Awful. RIP, Mike. You were one of the good ones.

Rest in peace to my friend and former Bay Guardian/Rhapsody colleague Mike McGuirk, who passed away on Wednesday, June 17. He'll be missed. https://t.co/UQvaFaLgZZ

@VALENTI I don't do retweets anymore. Otherwise, I would retweet this.

@bencardew Nice piece. Interesting you didn't mention Kaytranada's remix of Teedra Moses' "Be My Girl," though. It wasn't a chart hit, but it had an impact.

By 1994, hip-hop had clearly evolved into a generational movement. But its innocent, playful quality was lost in the process. https://t.co/99HrYT6pvm

'Dark Times' Review: Vince Staples continues to craft densely lyrical, hook-filled bangers while reaching towards new depths of understanding about his life.

@NewBlackMan It's remarkable how listeners such as this writer cling to outdated ideas about Drake. It seems they haven't confronted the toxic ugliness that defines his recent work, and remain dazzled by the fantasy of a light-skinned avatar of Obama-era globalism and nice-guy misogyny.
