Kendrick pretty much told us in that Harper’s Bizarre interview with Sza that he was balancing his masculine & feminine by tapping into his feminine energy side & connected it to his creativity & music, it helps with things like things like vulnerability, emotional sensitivity, intuition, receptiveness & the ability to communicate from a softer place. He said, “The more I delve deeper into my music & the more expressive I get with myself…that is the feminine energy right there.” He described that side as “the soft spoken me” & said, “This is where my superpower lies.” I don’t see him dropping an r&b album but what if his next project is softer, more melodic? Y’all keep saying Kendrick needs to rap but I’ve noticed him get increasingly comfortable allowing himself to sound smooth. What if his next project is balance?Soft & hard. Sensual & aggressive. Romantic & intellectual. Masculine & feminine. Not just hardcore raps, wonder what the narrative would be then🤔

🚨 The Mallory Bros say Kendrick Lamar can’t be judged like every feature has to be another “crown” moment just because of the Drake beef he still has to be the same artist he was before it They say Kendrick has always had different bags, and on Jhené Aiko’s “So Good” they liked

TUPAC SHAKUR. This month/year marks 30 long years since he passed, sadly, tragically. I interviewed him many times, was there in Las Vegas when he died. This is the only thing I have to say about it all publicly, for now, my newest article for NEWSWEEK: newsweek.com/the-tupac-shak…

why has nobody really figured out how to be a genuinely technical rapper in the traditional & lyrical sense while also fully embracing the production & flows that the new underground loves? like where’s the rapper with Vince/Joey/Earl-level song-writing ability who sounds

YOU CAN SEARCH TELEVISION. NOT SHOW TITLES. THE ACTUAL WORDS PEOPLE SAID, ACROSS 4,430,000 BROADCASTS, GOING BACK TO 2009. archive.org/details/tv the Internet Archive has been quietly recording news channels for seventeen years and indexing every closed caption. so any sentence ever said on air is now a search box away, with the clip attached. type a phrase. get the channel, the date, the timestamp, and the thirty seconds around it. which means you can do things television never intended. watch a phrase enter the language and count it. pull up how four networks described the same hour differently. find the exact broadcast that was on while something happened to you. I tested it on the things anchors say on autopilot. "folks" is in 1,087,798 clips. "unprecedented" is in 374,273. "no one saw this coming" is in 767. "we reached out for comment", in those exact words, appears 485 times in seventeen years of television. it isn't just American channels. BBC, DW, France 24, Al Jazeera and Russian state television are all in there, all searchable the same way. free. no account. no paywall. the strangest part is that this has existed the whole time and almost nobody uses it.

very interesting the amount of r&b centric kendrick features we've gotten post-gnx. i imagine the next dot project will be something very intimate & introspective. a lot of his recent verses seem to explore themes of love & sex. "reincarnated with love"

Back in 1995 I remember frantically calling my music industry friends hoping to get tix to see @StevieWonder at Radio City. Ultimately, Gary Harris hit me back, so I went with him, and needless to say, the show was amazing. When I got back to my apartment, my friend, Elaine, who’d been staying on my couch, told me D’Angelo had just left. He told her he hadn’t been able to get tix himself (when he was still recording Brown Sugar and before he was famous). Since he couldn’t go to the concert, he wanted to listen to Stevie with me on my couch, like we used to do for hours (and hours) on end. So this time around, if I’m lucky enough to see Stevie play, I hope Michael’s spirit is in the building.

Love to see this!! D'Angelo looved him some Biggie. When I brought the Big-Mac sampler home (Biggie and Craig Mack snippet tape), we played it on repeat. Michael's faves were The What and The Warning, so I know he'll be smiling from ear-to-ear watching his precious son play this role.
