At 60, Too $hort is helping usher hip-hop into what he calls its senior citizen era. Just don’t expect him to rap like one. “Sir Too $hort Vol. 2: Drink & Smoke,” his 23rd studio album, produced entirely by longtime collaborator Lil Jon. It arrives Friday, exactly 20 years after the release of his enduring hit “Blow the Whistle.” More here: https://t.co/vpok5ntOw0
currently obsessing over that one bojack horseman quote:
“it gets easier. every day it gets a little easier, but you gotta do it every day. that’s the hard part.”
I am the stone that the builder refused
I am the visual, the inspiration
That made Lady sing the blues I'm the spark that makes your idea bright
The same spark that lights the dark
So that you can know your left from your right I am the ballot in your box, the bullet in the gun
The inner glow that lets you know to call your brother son
The story that just begun, the promise of what's to come
And I'ma remain a soldier 'til the war is won
It’s funny how WOKE used to simply mean being aware of injustice and inequality. Then racist whites and people uncomfortable with those conversations turned it into an insult.
Now they call anything WOKE if it acknowledges racism, discrimination, or the existence of people who are different from them. A word that once meant awareness became a political buzzword because some people didn’t like what it was exposing.
