He said to this day New Edition has never toured overseas. That's actually pretty mind blowing. I feel like they should do it while they still can.

Right, so what I saw was not criticism that the person having the heart attack didn't receive aid, but that the proctor kept the exam going as normal WHILE A PERSON HAD A HEART ATTACK AND THEN HAD PARAMEDICS AND WHATNOT TRYING TO PROVIDE AID. Not time stop. No break. No moment to regroup.

This week is the battle royale of music opinions: Covers vs Originals. Now, let's all admit up front that opinions are usually heavily subjective and based on factors including age/era... but let's argue anyway :).
What cover (or covers) do you insist tops the original? (Post both!)
I approve this message.

They doxxed her, her parents, their place of business, she was literally scared for her family's safety.
03.08.2025 15:42 — 👍 248 🔁 33 💬 2 📌 0So now his story is that Maya threw out baseless allegations and lies against him to give fodder to the "anti-Black" accounts that needed something to use against him. This is a LIE. She posted links, didn't just say sh*t unsupported, to illustrate a pattern.
4. Kweli turns the harassment up.
So for folks who weren't there, here's what happened with Talib:
1. A Black women, Maya, made a comment about rappers (PLURAL, I don't even think he was named) patterns of having light skin wives in I think a larger convo about colorism. It was an observation, not an insult.
Woman speaks on rappers having light skinned and biracial wives (or one or the other, can’t remember)
Talib, though not mentioned, was offended because his estranged wife was light skinned.
Everyone found out why she was estranged (he cheated & got someone else pregnant)
Harassment ensues.
There is a a Black-owned bookstore in Las Vegas. It is called Analog Bookstore. Please support!

You couldn’t turn on basic cable without a deluge of Girls Gone Wild commercials.
A quick scan of women’s music from the 90s would be revelatory. TLC’s music was a counternarrative. Lilith Fair existed for a reason. What was Riot Grrl was rioting against? Queen Latifah gave us a whole anthem.
Why in the fuck am I paying over $1,600 for my son to be able to play in the high school marching band?! Oh yeah, cause the GOP has continued to slash public education funding at every opportunity, at every level, that they can.
