This year I have been involved in a number of discussions (strategic & legal) around the future of Media and entertainment within the automotive industry and it's been hella insightful to say the least.
This article provides a good snapshot of where we are at presently and..
The reality show wave in its latter years got a bit ridiculous but shout out to the channel that gave us music in all its visual layers and textures (2/2)
Shit done changed. MTV ushered in a new gen of visual content alongside soundtracks that marked different points in our lives both collectively and individually (1/2)
MTV officially shut down its 24-hour music channels yesterday. They ended their final broadcast with 'Video killed the radio star' by The Buggles, the very first video broadcasted by MTV on August 1st, 1981.
PSA: If you hit play on “In The Air Tonight” by Phil Collins at 11:56:20PM this New Year’s Eve, the drum fill will welcome you into 2026. Start the year the right way.

Still haven't come across a podcast that tops this. Probably never will. Combat Jack forever🙌🏾

Delroy Lindo’s been making films better for five decades & I’ll be damned if I don’t use every last ounce of effort I have to see that Lindo is nominated for Best Supporting Actor for Sinners. @TheAcademy he should’ve been nominated long before this. Please give the man his due.
Always appreciated Issa's transparency in terms of her career thus far and how she continues to navigate the media and entertainment industry. She broke ground in a big way with ABG/Insecure but the work and the hustle continues
A writer friend of mine was telling how a prominent Black writer/producer told them to get out of the game or figure out a way to pivot because it’s scary out here. Overall deals are gone. Black execs getting the boot. Casting less inclusive. It’s not easy right now.
**sighs** Erykah also recently spoke on drink champs as to how she landed on the track which, as a result 'inadvertently knocked Jill out of an opportunity' to be recognised widely as more than just a writer, at that time.
Alas, the plight of black women in the music industry
cannot explain how shocked I was to find out that Eve never got a Grammy for "You Got Me" by The Roots. the song was such a massive hit and her verse was so essential to that song, I can't imagine it without her on it.
@skylarvibes@CarterJahad Auntie Phylicia in there!? Ok im sold. Imma kick off season 1 this week lol. Thanks for the heads up -
This is what twitter should be about!
Ryan Coogler is as bankable as any director in Hollywood right now: Sinners officially crossed $300 million worldwide. The film’s only been out since April 17th & it’s already the 3rd highest grossing horror film in the history of the US Box Office. Coogler’s time is now.
