There's a beauty, agony & fear in figuring out who this woman is while simutaneously carving her out. I am fucking loving it.

[YUNG GRIOT @lucyblou]

That nigga was living exactly how he was moving on this app. Just chaotic and hateful on here I know he was irritating and chaotic outside the app.

[YUNG GRIOT @lucyblou]

They wonder why older rappers are still moving numbers and in the top rappers conversations. They can rap. Using melodies, visuals, personality and production isn’t a new thing for rappers to use to expand their artistry. The difference? Those weren’t crutches for them.

[YUNG GRIOT @lucyblou]

To be fair to him on the second quote, he’s not wrong in his thinking because we’ve strayed so far from what makes rap rap with these newer artists by lowering the bar so much. It’s only a “trap” in the sense that the mediocrity will be exposed immediately.

Rich Amiri says XXL Freshman Cyphers in 2026 are a "trap":

"If XXL is supposed to introduce new artists, the format gotta evolve with the generation it's covering.
Dis current format is not a showcase, that sh*t is a trap."

[mike roplastic ⚧ 🇵🇸 @ghoastdad]

you all laughed at rick ross for this in 2023 but i said it then and will again: he's right and he should say it

[YUNG GRIOT @lucyblou]

Should’ve never took out “girls don’t dance no more all they do is this…”. That was a critical part of the song that made it catchy.

[YUNG GRIOT @lucyblou]

I kinda wish Bey would’ve kept the original Donk demo vibes and just remixed it enough to get rid of how bad the reverb was set.

[YUNG GRIOT @lucyblou]

The day Lucky Thai closed for good. 😔

[⋆KMꜝ❤︎ @misskerrington]

Fuck a breakup you ever been addicted to a restaurant that closed down ?😭😭

[The Art of SpongeBob @ArtofSpongebob]

I've now learned that this is a reference to a public access show that used to run in LA, called Spirit of Truth. "Who put you on the planet?" and even the exact dance is in this clip from the show

[YUNG GRIOT @lucyblou]

Mannn that nigga dead! The signs are all there. They know what they’re trying to prolong by not announcing it.

Aww back when I was getting into British acts this was one of my favorite songs and artists. Until her funky ass did Corinne like that.

[2000s @PopCulture2000s]

20 years ago today, lily allen released ‘smile’

[Mel Smith @iamMelsmith]

R&B is so expansive that Janet, TLC, Brandy & Aaliyah all did futuristic R&B without sounding exactly like each other. R&B is only a “box” if the artist is limited

[YUNG GRIOT @lucyblou]

Love her even more for this. It’s refreshing to see an artist actually be okay with being called R&B and know how expansive the genre is even for other genres.

[ecco @loonapilld]

and very few understand this

[BODEGA PEPTIDES @bigsnugga]

if and when this happens you're about to watch the rap world open their arms to him like nothing happened. it will be digusting

[🐢✨America Is Musty✨🐢 @DragonflyJonez]

That would be revisionist too. India Aire has always been like this. Her very first single flipped Put It In Ya Mouth by Akinyele bc she said she wanted to repackage a song she viewed as highly misogynistic. India Aire been wagging her finger at rap for 25 years now

[YUNG GRIOT @lucyblou]

All of this just because he doesn’t follow their rules of “just shut up and dribble that ball”. lol

[philip lewis @Phil_Lewis_]

Jaylen Brown on his Twitch stream, about “anonymous sources”:

‘I’m tired of these damn anonymous sources, like, anonymous executive — Colin Cowherd, Bobby Marks, Stephen A. Smith — I think yall are the sources”

[🐢✨America Is Musty✨🐢 @DragonflyJonez]

Not even trying to throw shots at this particular tweeter but there are young ppl who have lived their entire lives with rap being embraced and mainstream. They are unaware of the time where rap was a counterculture that offended like 95% of Americans who were over 40 years old

[YUNG GRIOT @lucyblou]

One of my early awakenings to European dance music.

[culture @notgwendalupe]

17 years ago, La Roux released 'Bulletproof'

[YUNG GRIOT @lucyblou]

This moves me so much. Charges worth it. Sigh.

BREAKING: Two people have climbed to the top of the Empire State Building in New York City, holding a banner from the skyscraper's antenna reading, "When the power of love beats the love of power, the world knows peace."

As of now it's unclear how the pair reached the top of the building as police work to get them down from the spire, 1,454 feet above the ground.

[microplastics nanobubbler @facetedcarapace]

Just calling Danny Glover an actor seems insufficient when he has led such a remarkable life of political activism and leftist solidarity. I don't think people even realize what an impact he has had. His activism section wikipedia is as long as his filmography.

[YUNG GRIOT @lucyblou]

It’s clear that he wanted to say something in defense of his mother with how these social media and podcast niggas have been speaking on her.

[Slime🐍 @ItsKingSlime]

Lonzo Ball speaks on his parents’ Lavar & Tina’s divorce, explaining that his Mom did NOT want to leave and it wasn’t because Lavar lost his foot, but she was actually “forced” to leave and Lonzo helped her 😮👀

“I love both my parents, but the situation put before y’all is NOT how it went down… I’m glad she left, she’s in a great spot. She’s good, my Pops is good. They obviously don’t f*ck with each other, but I f*ck with them both, and she was not wrong at all.”
