Legacy, Legacy, Legacy

On the 28th anniversary of Mobb Deep's The Infamous, I must remind you: there is indeed a war outside. To once again quote the greatest artist of our time, Drake said on "March 14": I wasn’t hiding my kid from the world; I was hiding the world from my kid. From empty souls who just wake up and look to debate... It took me some years, but I now understand exactly what he meant. Somewhere along the way, we slipped up and lost our way. Some would say it started with the 2016 election, and others would say life hasn’t been the same since the spring of 2020. It’s also possible that the world ended in 2012, and we’ve lived in a simulation since. Hell, that’s what it feels like. Even Elon has said he thinks the simulation theory is entirely plausible. And well, if you were to let social media and the news media dictate your beliefs, you’d think that the world is over. The scary fact is that perception becomes reality when propaganda, conjecture, and misinformation become the standard for communication. We’re fighting a psychological battle for our future; for black people, our war is one on two fronts. It’s up to us to decide how this all plays out, and I, for one, will not sit back while others try to make that decision for me.

The Bama Brawl, The Bus Boycotts, & Brandon Miller

Short and sweet for this cultural commentary. I believe this is a moment that will spark a movement. And, for that to happen, it requires action. That's why there is not too much that must be said. Th...

No More Cake!

I try not to directly call for revolution because most people's idea of a revolution is not what I would be asking for. I've called it many times instead, a Renaissance. This expansion of awareness an...
