The Black community will celebrate the athlete, the entertainer, and the hustler before it celebrates the thinker. That hierarchy was not self generated. It was installed by a system that needed Black intellectual power to remain socially undesirable within the community
Kevin James fasted for 40 days straight for his daughter.
She was on the spectrum, struggling badly with tics and sleep. Nothing was working. So he made a commitment: pray and fast. One day at a time.
He was ready to quit multiple times, hungry, doubting, over it. Then one morning he knocked on her door and she said she finally slept well. He kept going. The prayers got answered, just not on his timeline.
Raw, real, and a little “jokey” in how God works sometimes.
Sometimes the breakthrough comes the exact day you’re about to stop pushing.
I said this yesterday. You could place these song anywhere and they’d fit. Thus proving there’s a formula, lack of growth, and no real risks taken. Not saying the music is bad. Saying it repetitive and safe always. If you’ve heard the 5 Drake song styles why play the rest?
Y’all tryna convince me #1 charts = better hip hop. By y’all logic, pre-Vanilla Ice rappers are garbage. Vanilla ice was 1st rapper to hit #1 Billboard. See how dumb that sounds? Y’all got it, Drake is the modern Vanilla Ice—y’all can keep it. I like hip hop raw, authentic, and FUBU. Shame on y’all pushing propaganda. Hip hop forever.
Kendrick making songs like “Man at the Garden” at this stage in his career while Drake is out here making Cha Cha Slide remixes with Sexyy Red 😭 smh
And the ovhoes really told us to “stay on that side” for these 3 packs of ass playlist albums LMAOOO
Apparently wanting an artist to mature in their music is offensive to y'all? Why would I, a grown man who is married with 2 kids want to continue to hear someone cry about the women that did him wrong for another 20 years? Like really think about that. I can no longer relate.
...so y'all not tired of these artists dumping they whole hard drives on you b/c they don't know how to edit themselves? These not albums. These are streaming algorithm manipulators 🙄🤦🏾♂️
