I was on Threads and then, someone told me that I wouldn't have survived during the 90s spoken word era (they weren't being rude they just didn't know who I was) I bragged on myself; people agreed, and now I'm overwhelmed. It's been three weeks. I can never return. what y'all doing over here?
WHO TAUGHT WHITE PEOPLE HOTEP?? Show yourselves!
A Penny for Your Thots.@bitchardpryor.bsky.social · last yr.I'm baffled to hear some white friends claiming Kendrick LaMarr is a Ho-Tep, as if he doesn't literally have a song that includes him talking about going down on a woman. Ain't no Ho-Tep ANYMORE mature enough to eat pussy. They CLEARLY don't understand the term.
My dad is working the gnx tour tonight and I’m sick about it. He said who is Bendict Roma? Benedict Roma. I’m sick. Sick enough to volunteer to volunteer for his church group? No. Sick nonetheless.

Why do babies love this man so much? I thought this little boy knew him but he really just saw him running and ran with him. Dot: life goes on I need all my babies… Babies:

Usually, I’d be the stanniest Stan who ever stonned about Dot not speaking up about shit. My GOAT lets his art talk. How and ever, nigga, you gotta say SOMETHING! It’s LA. That’s you! It takes zero. Don’t come in here disrespectful. That’s still the greatest to ever do it. Watch yourself.
I can’t understand anyone who loves hip hop (not just Dot) and says that Joey “lost” or isn’t on Ray’s level. It’s just as bad as Drake fans who love Drake but not hip hop. Joey is a killer on the mic. He out rapped and our songed them boys. Come on now. Don’t do that.
Uh… no. You can’t just run up on stage to say your four words, Lefty.
Have I ranted about how much I dislike DJ Hed yet? Because today’s episode of the Bigger Picture is exhibit A.
Ray was trying to launch his career and get into the mainstream. Nothing wrong with that. Everyone gets something. Joey can’t see Dot but nobody this week saw Joey at the end. Crash Test Dummy wrapped it up.
Grant Lorrell@grantlorrell.blacksky.app · last yr.Eh, he very clearly is trying to catch a wave by baiting Kendrick into a response. But I highly doubt he'll get one (at most he'll probably get a throwaway line like Jay did to 50 Cent when 50 kept trying to battle him).
So Fleece Johnson is out and you raggedy niggas have made him famous? Dont ever talk to me on some “what about men” ish because he should be out of here if you cared.
Joey won. Leave Dot and Drake out of it. Strictly hip hop and raps.
I’m so happy to see Joey out here carrying the East on his back. He sound so BK too. Let’s go! Hip hop is back!

Yes, understand. I didn’t say agree or support. 😂 She was acting out of a need to feel valuable to Stack and the community. Remmick’s words (both his and his thoughts through the people he turned) got under a lot of their skins. She went straight to Stack for that trauma bond.
my muse is mi@read-aboutmi.blacksky.app · last yr.Except for Grace as in you understand Mary? 😮💨
That’s why I love it over here. I only assume good faith. I’m always ready to fight over at them people’s house.
Kim McLarin@kimmclarin.bsky.social · last yr.I love that we can discuss this with such graciousness. Thank you both for being so thoughtful. Happy Mother's Day.
To be very clear— Remmick is the villain in this story. Don’t let anyone tell you different. I’m not saying Grace is a villain AT ALL! I just don’t like how she did what she did. Remmick (white supremacy masquerading as progressive altruism) is the enemy. Nobody else.
This is literally all I’m saying. They were already getting ready.
The New Big@tinclock.myatproto.social · last yr.I just wish she would've given the group a chance to formulate some sort of plan
This is strange to say on Mother’s Day but we need to disabuse ourselves of the idea that a mother’s love for their child is a superior love. It is a different love. It is a biological love. It’s an immediate love but it’s also still a love in practice. That’s why toxic, abusive mothers exist.
When I say “every character’s arc” I don’t mean Remmick. Nothing about what I saw the second time changed my mind about him or made his mission any clearer.
Bassey@basseyworld.bsky.social · last yr.Watched Sinners again— I didn’t cry this time and actually walked away fully understanding every character’s arc. Except for Grace. She can still go to hell… literally.
Right. They saved her life. I have a child too and I’m not saying I wouldn’t do the same but that doesn’t make it less selfish and reckless.
@daneestillwriting.bsky.social · last yr.And, to be fair, she did try to leave on her own accord and they wouldn’t let her. Admittedly, it irked me at first. But as a mom, there’s not much I wouldn’t do to protect this lil girl, so…
Respectfully disagree. The people in the juke weren’t orphan only children of only children. Sammie had parents and younger siblings. I understand the sentiment but they used her and she succumbed by letting her emotion take precedence over Annie’s knowledge and the greater good.
Kim McLarin@kimmclarin.bsky.social · last yr.I get that people are angry at Grace, but Coogler clearly set her up as a mother protecting her child. Fiercely. She was the only one in the juke joint who had someone she loved in town in danger. The dad vampire would have easily killed the kid. She was ready to die to protect her kid.
Watched Sinners again— I didn’t cry this time and actually walked away fully understanding every character’s arc. Except for Grace. She can still go to hell… literally.
There’s no way Ryan Coogler and Kendrick Lamar weren’t in a text thread during the creation of both their projects. Ain’t no way. Too many songs on gnx fit Sinners and the halftime show feels like Ryan had notes. Can’t tell me a damn thing different.
