..but I knew that song felt like everything to me. My upbringing in the church. My love for the soul music of my mothers heyday. My wonder of what my future held.
I doubt I even knew who D'Angelo was honestly. But if it wasn't for him, I wouldn't have this memory or message.
I vividly remember my excitement when she pulled the cassette out of her purse. You would've thought she gave me a million dollars.
I doubt I truly understood the power of the gesture (I'm referring to the choir of famous black men singing D'Angelo's letter to young black boys)..
Quick story time: The first contemporary single I ever owned when it dropped was a single cassette of U Will Know. I was too young to watch Jason's Lyric (9/10), but my mother already picked up on my deep passion for music and knew how much this song meant to me..
Feel like I lost a big brother.. but all is is Michael finally got his wings. Praise the Lord.
This a whole new car 😭
my humble contribution to the marriage of ai slop and afam folklore. I only wish my lion had legs lol #sora2
Wow. Never met her but I always thought this was a beautiful woman inside and out. She seemed like she would be a cool chick to hang/have a convo with.
Awhile back a post asked folks fav Prince song. I forgot about "Love & Sex"..
How you gon beat a song who's basic premise is "will God let us f*ck when we get to heaven? cuz I'm tryna see if that p*ssy still hit after we die"

Questlove did a series of mix streams during covid (2020). One was nothing but boogie. Basically everything I heard in utero. Never gets old imho.
It’s stupid.
It's cute if a man thinks there isn't an orgasm gap between men & women, it usually means he can't tell how many women have faked it on him.
YouTubers are no longer just creators, and in some cases, their side businesses are growing faster than their channels.
First version I heard of this song was Donny's. I like other versions but few can compare to what he did with these words
Lemme guess..they white right?
Stuck in my head. #blackskyover30
Someone's Hinge prompt said they like guys who are into cats & socialism so I replied I have a kitten named "Chairman Meow"..

The way you (or perhaps, I should say: "I") rarely see this sentiment online haha

The inclusion of "didindu nuthin" is revealing. Boy it's fun being black.
If I stand watch while you speak to police, I'm lokey preparing to die protecting you. That's the funny part.
Storytime over.
..I'm not so slow as to think we live in a world where black women are made to feel they can count on or trust black men but something in how I was raised made me feel as though I should protect her from whatever she'd previously encountered & the potential of police brutality.
Anyway, no hate..
..as far as I knew I was duty bound as a black man to watch over interactions between black women and police, not to mention if men in the neighborhood are harassing you I can be a line of defense, but she appeared offended at my presence, and while I understand she was already on edge its kinda sad
"Excuse me I'm having a private moment with these officers can you go about your business?"
To which I reply: "Honestly I was just standing here for your safety and because I live here too...but I'll go inside" and went into my apartment.
Moments like this always trip me out...
