Our music has always been deep. It’s always been complex and it’s always been soulful/spiritual. We use hip hop to evolve. To protest. To celebrate. Etc. Art/music plays a role in why a lot of us are proud to be black today. Our culture is all through these genres. Don’t let these people brainwash you into disconnecting from the soul of hip hop by convincing you it isn’t cool or it’s “too deep”. It’s always been that deep for us and it should stay that way. We created it! Once we lose the soul we’ve lost the genre.
Nobody should be redefining our art form but us. Anybody talking shit about hip hop that makes you think or makes you feel something— should immediately be recognized as a opp. Ask yourself what they gain from us watering down our music, taking the soul out, only discussing surface level topics and becoming less conscious. Only a specific group of people benefit from us not being introspective.
Tighten up.
He's a whole lie and the more interviews he does, the more I see why none of the cast of family matters fucked with him like that. A lot of black ppl watched Seinfeld, Cheers, Golden Girls and other "white shows". He wanna be different so bad and it's aggy.
Jaleel White says it annoyed him in college when people questioned why he watched the show Seinfeld, adding, 'Black culture in Hollywood is treated very monolithic.

Seeing the feelings towards Doechii change in REAL TIME is so weird. A year ago, it was "Doechii is so underrated and talented." The tear-down started the second those Grammy nominations were announced last month. Now, it's she "makes Harriet Tubman music." Y'all are gross.
This is horrific and devastating. A Black woman influencer, Dominique Brown, goes to an influencer event hosted by BoxLunch and dies from a food allergy even though she notified staff of her allergens. How could this happen?!!

I get so sick of seeing mfs saying “slave music” especially other black people.
Y’all really letting the canadian send y’all down some questionable paths…
Baby I told this lady at this coffeeshop that I was getting my PhD in Women Gender and Sexuality Studies and she got so excited because she’s been wanting to talk to someone about how she’s noticed that birth control is making black women gay 😭 I cut that convo so short
