Many #ados Black Americans are politically quiet because they don’t grasp what this chart and this quote by economist Piketty mean for their life prospects and familial relationships. And what it says about the likely limited prospects for their children.
It means none of this matters because of your life’s immediate needs. And should beg the question why is it even on your twitter or in your conversation given the moment?

🤫👀🤷🏿‍♂️ #ados This should be the main discussion in mature Black homes with full families to support. It is literally nonexistent as a talking point. With most everyone never even seeing the HUGE issue until watching this video.

PUFF AND JD ARGUING ON JOEY'S LIVE!!
"let's stop acting like Puff Daddy ain't Puff Daddy. This what he supposed to do. All this not answering shit, that's another nigga" - JD
"Why don't you play MY remix of 'Big Poppa'?" 😂😂😂

I'm honestly shocked how Puff tried to son Jermaine last night...
Like
Mariah
Usher
Bow Wow
JE
Xscape
Kriss Kross
Da Brat
Dem Franchize Boys

Like, Puff was out of pocket based on My Way, Confessions, and Emancipation of Mimi alone especially because... THE HITMEN.
JD has gotten on my nerves in multiple ways over the years but we NOT gonna act like this nigga wasn't the Atlanta counterpart to Puff. We're just not. They're direct peers, both wonderkinds with an eye and ear for talent and creating a full lifestyle & culture.
.... and only one of them is in the songwriter's hall of fame, and it ain't Puff.

Yes and I think that's why so many people - even folks OF the culture - were quick to assume Bobby was just gonna blow him out of the water.

I thought #Verzuz would have reminded everybody the power of #EssenceFest mainstays - crossover or not - by now.
Somebody - who was on Keith's side - said folks were counting him out because he "doesn't have any No. 1s"
... Keith has No. 1s on every single R&B chart. He has 7 on the Hot R&B/Hip Hop Chart, and 5 Top 10s on the Hot 100. And has never stopped selling tickets. Ever.
If ever you're about to use crossover hits as a barometer, just remember that the average white person has no idea what a Frankie Beverly & Maze is and never heard "Before I Let Go" until Beyonce did her version.

So, I was going to wait until tomorrow to bring the #MusicSermon #30DayMusicChallenge over here but we #minuswell. The full list plus Days 1 & 2 are below to keep continuity... ImageImageImage
. @naima got shut down this morning right after I posted one of my favorite #BlackMusicMonthChallenge prompts:

Since we know better, we all try to do better... but tell us the problematic bop you just can't let go of.
(No "When you say teenager, how old?" selections, please) Image
And there has never been a time before that I felt like I had to say that... but somehow this year my spirit knew...

GOOD MORNING TO NOBOY EXCEPT THE ISLEY BROTHERS. A THREAD

I woke up this morning to see The Brothers Isley were trending on Twitter and then I saw why so although I'm busy this Monday, you definitely messed up if you think I'm not gonna take the time to speak on this real talk.
Someone out there said Isley Brothers don't have 20 hits in regards to being on #VERZUZ going up against The Elements but I'm not even gonna talk on that cause that don't mean anything. What I am gonna talk about is how we have a living group that has done so much for so long
Just off the strength of longevity X relevance - not about impact, influence or legacy. There's nobody that is seeing The Brothers Isley. No. Body. Do Not. Get. Me. Started. Although. Search. My. Tweets. I've. Been. Saying. This. For. YEARS.

Bow Wow is having a very open convo right now.

He talked about his addiction to lean, him being star struck when Jay-Z came to see him perform, Michael Jordan throwing away his Reeboks, that the Face Off album was suppose to be with him and B2K, and his beef with Soulja Boy.
Bow Wow says a #Verzuz between him and Soulja Boy would be fun
Bow Wow reminded the room that he began his career affiliated with gangster rap: Death Row

Final thoughts #PattiVsGladys #Verzus.
1)Both ladies, ALL the ladies looked GOODT! Gladys & Patti, 76 & 77, Dionne 80!!! Black truly DON'T crack!

2)ladies sounded great, but Miss Gladys CAME TO SING. when she started singing LIVE, I like wait...is Glady singing LIVE... (1/4)
3)Too many folks were coming into this verzus sleepin on 7x Grammy winner Gladys Knight. Tonight they found out why they call her the Empress of Soul...

#PattiVsGladys #Verzuz (2/4)
4)I figured Gladys would do "That's What Friends Are For", and I hoped they would bring out Dionn Warwick, but I wasn't sure. When Dionne came out and they all sang That's What Friends Are For and Superwoman...I was excited. #PattiVsGladys #Verzuz (3/4

I don’t care if Patricia Louise Holte, aka Patti LaBelle, just threatened someone with bodily harm in front of all of us for messing up her teleprompter, I’m acquitting. #Verzuz

I’m sure there’s a very good reason why #Verzuz streams on Apple Music and not Apple+, and I welcome someone linking me to the article that explains it.
Will also accept an oral history of the planning and evaluation of #Verzuz if such a thing already exists.
I like this explanation, but I’m still curious about the economics of that choice for Apple.

It makes me SICK to my stomach that Monica and Brandy didn’t get paid for their #verzuz

Brandy kept saying we are going to go on tour...

That WAS the MF tour.

I don’t care what handshakes were done in the back room.

Those women deserved to be paid AND...
I’m a nobody but I’m tired of people playing on the emotions of black women.

I’m tired of it.

There are so many caveats and conditions that could be made to this conversation.

Just understand that these women sustained 1M PLUS viewers for 2 consecutive hours
They did greater numbers than the MTV awards.

They deserved an upfront check, reproduction royalties, to debut any music/upcoming events, merch sales.

And then some!

They don’t deserve the crumbs. They deserve the TABLE.

The hype has died down. The energy has dissipated. I am left with my thoughts. I am a little sad. I'll tell you why 👇🏾 #VERZUZ
The culture that created @KingBeenieMan and @grunggaadzilla has been dying a slow death. Pretty soon there will be no active artists capable of pulling off what they did tonight. #VERZUZ 🇯🇲
We lost sound system culture like 20 years ago. Stage show culture has been gone for some time too (not concerts... There's a difference). Riddim culture is hanging on by a thread. 🇯🇲

Damn, watching the backlash from that #LudacrisvsNelly #RKelly verse tells me that the #retrograde energies of #Venus #Jupiter #Pluto & #Saturn are in full effect. Watch what you say cuz truth will be revealed swiftly and dealt with accordingly. #astrology
#RKelly is a Capricorn, Jupiter, Pluto are both retrograding in #Capricorn- big exposure of abuses of power, Saturn retro in #Aquarius- community/social activism and revolution, Venus retro in #Gemini- reminiscing on past music/pleasure through the internet. #ludavsnelly #Verzuz
The whole #ludavsnelly #verzuz "battle" contrast to the previous #JillScottVsErykahBadu vibe session only illustrates that the Age of Pisces, with its duality, dog eat dog, patriarchial, abuses of power, egocentric, selfish mentality is ending and the #AgeOfAquarius has begun
