The look on Marlo’s face says it all. 💀 Michael thought he was showing off his trophy, but he was actually showing Marlo he’s a threat.
This one piece of jewelry caused more tension than a kilo of product. The storytelling in The Wire is unmatched.
I genuinely feel sad that current 20 something's missed the era of $500 rent, $3 happy hour, 5 bags of groceries for under $100, multiple job offers immediately after applying, and going out to party without social media apps at your fingertips. IT WAS A TIME.
—Only female bees produce honey-male bees only mate with the queen, they don’t work, they don’t defend the hive. Their only role is to mate.
—Only female ants make up the colony-Males exist mainly to mate with queens during nuptial flight and they die shortly after. The entire colony (workers, soldiers) are female.
—Only female plants produce fruits-Male plants only produce pollen. Female plants produce the actual fruit
—Only female spiders sometimes survive after mating-Males mainly exist to find and mate with females. Sometimes they even get eaten after mating.

I’ve been meaning to make a post highlighting how integral of a role Young Guru plays in Jay-Z’s career.
This is the perfect chance to do so.
Aside from their friendship, Guru is far more than just Jay’s personal engineer. He’s also his touring DJ, producer, musical director, photographer, and sometimes when Jay is tending to other matters, Guru takes Jay’s place during rehearsals and recites his verses.
He’s also the person entrusted with housing all of Jay’s released and unreleased music, as well as being the person in charge of leading of Jay’s band.
Too many African governments, politicians, tourist boards are giving major PR and advertising contracts to European and white-led agencies because they still centre and trust whiteness above all else.
When they could and should be investing in home grown / diaspora Black talent.
