It wasn't COVID. The country has spent decades getting rid of third spaces, people have grown to *aggressively* detest kids doing kid shit in neighborhoods, and gentrification has made for a shortage of warehouses in seedy areas of town that used to be a haven for partiers and weirdos.
There are a huge number of white “entrepreneurs” who would rather go bankrupt than do work that they consider to be work for Black and brown people. It is *wild*.

My older sister made some from scratch last year that put the canned stuff to shame (according to my pops, since he was the only one able to compare it lol). Shit was the bomb, and great on sammiches the next day
getting Kimberly Drew was an ELITE move. I used to work with her (albeit on different teams) at The Met. She's an art-world legend!
That damn can of Ocean Spray cranberry sauce. Growing up, only my dad ate that, and my mom used to get fancy with it & serve it on a bed of lettuce 🤣
As a survivor of the Tulsa Race Massacre, Viola Ford Fletcher bravely shared her story so that we’d never forget this painful part of our history. Michelle and I are grateful for her lifelong work to advance civil rights, and send our love to her family.
As someone who used to watch Jacksons: An American Dream damn near every time it came on TV, I for sure don’t mind sitting in a theater for 3-4 hours for this movie

Too many legends are leaving and it's not fucking fair.
RIP D'Angelo
Wrong. It IS a cart
Wow. Gaslighting yourself into believing you're guilty of a crime to avoid coming to terms with the fact that police are corrupt is the nastiest of nasty work.
I mean...building a casino in Queens is definitely 100 times easier than trying to build one in Times Square. The latter is a complete logistical nightmare.

Inspectah Deck's last 6 bars on "C.R.E.A.M" is the realest shit to me rn. I've had some youngins come to me for advice recently and end up rejecting it because it's not what they wanna hear or it's not the most fun/attractive answer to their question 😅

BEING RACIST IS NOT A DIFFERENCE IN OPINION
Zeo & Turbo got my vote
Counting down the days until I get my first royalty payout from my PRO 🙏🏿
Fellow millennials: Did anyone else used to troll or post funny shit on people's Facebook & MySpace pages whenever they forgot to log out of the Apple Store macs back in the day? 😂
I highkey wish Raekwon retconned his bar on Incarcerated Scarfaces from “who son’s who” to “who’s Sun Tzu” lol
But Happy 30th to this masterpiece! Imma have to watch “The Killer” when I get home
"The Saga Begins" by Rakim, produced by Pete Rock is the beat that made me want to know how beats were made. My journey started there, but my cousin (who was an aspiring producer in the early 00s) is who taught me how to create.

I'm a millennial and I just experienced this while seeing Superman last week lol
God rest her soul, but my grandma couldn't cook for shit 😂
Heard that one, love it

Damn, niggas are still on this type of time?
