When my mama told me “I’ll always have somewhere to lay my head because of how I treat people”, it stuck with me. It’s why if nothing else, I’ll show up in the name of relationship and community. It’s not always easy to do but the making the choice to do it is.
No they don’t. That’s why they don’t have any. Being apart of community is not always convenient or pleasurable. And a lot of people want everything to be convenient and center their pleasure
It’s really on us as men to right the ship of the damage that has already been done to these boys. We terrorize and we’re teaching them to terrorize. These ain’t one offs.

on the state of rap at our Musicians on Musicians event:
"This shit sucks. The place that hip-hop is in right now is a terrible place...It’s trendy. It’s a lot less risk-taking. It’s a lot less originality."
Watch the full conversation:
Wait wait wait. So not only did y’all shrink when it came to standing up for a black woman who had been harmed but THEN you let misinformation from a notorious misinformation spreader make you feel affirmed?!
🗣️ A lie gotta start caring who tell it!
I say this sincerely. I love when ppl are genuinely happy. Loved on. When folks feel seen. Accomplished. Feel free. Feel safe. Feel empowered. The fruit of my life proves this but it’s worth saying in a tweet. I’m praying for yall to receive the best life has to offer
@nhoodpublicist
That’s wild. I explicitly tell my partnered male homies (friends and acquaintances) when something I’m saying or doing pertains to me and my singlehood alone AND that any advice or moves are made with them being partnered in mind. Unless they say otherwise themselves.
I remember dodging a deer on a freeway in VA. Car flipped and totaled in a ditch. State cop was like “glad you’re ok. Gonna have to give you a ticket because the deer is not present” 🙃
Turned 37 today. Full of deep gratitude and deeper thanks to any and everyone that has shown love. Especially to those who chose to believe in a relatively young black man from Detroit 💜

It exists (speaking as a former pro athlete) but we need to reserve the real time diagnosis for the scientists. A lot of these actions are beyond CTE induced.
idk how he does it but 2 Chainz manages to be an old rapper, make music that reaches multiple generations, and still not come off as an old nigga in the club chasing young bitches
how?
@queenveej
Just had a coworkers’ best friend collapse in the middle of the night with limited motor function and delayed speech and cognitive response. Docs’ eval summed up that it had to be effects of Covid that the dude had earlier in the year.

Exactly. It’s best we deal with the consequences at hand as opposed to speculating. Cuz if ole girl decide she wanna put buddy out his misery, themz the consequences for the “CTE” she probably got from dealing with him.
@javeauriel
Yea. The leaders of the church been juuging with that one. Cuz there ain’t a thing biblical (or sensible) about not being able to ask God questions. That quite literally is “leaning on our own understanding” if we can’t ask lol.
@speakmercedesj
She would’ve been happier with more money, my baby lol. Not to mention knowing someone in the industry having their back while they were unaware of something that could help them. She probably would’ve been very happy with that.

🙌🏾. Human connection and the human experience is/can be amazing. I love this shit and have been pivoting towards it more and more as time goes on.
@DJGotALot
🙌🏾. I can understand reactionary meanness. I really can but talking bad about strangers unprovoked is mean-spirited at its core. Meanness with no incentive boggles my mind.
@nhoodpublicist
They’re 1000% lying when they say shit like that. And also an explanation and simply stating you do not want it are not synonymous. That’s how you know they be lying.
@KMJeezy
Couldn’t agree more. Part of the ‘brilliance’ in Katt is how he owns his mistakes, process, and learning and STILL fits that into his comedy. Without leaning on anything other than the point and the joke. This didn’t come through with Dave.
I love this because one of the dictionary of misinformation facts from last season was that emphasis on correct spelling as a sign of intelligence is relatively new and is 100% an attempt to maintain a certain power structure or dynamic
It’s the holiday season and I’m inviting you to be a donor for our 4th year of

Sign up to be a donor below or DM me to buy an item (or more) from a list! I will send you 1!
We need more donors to make the season bright for kids!…

The they of the trope is not the they of the phrase. That would make your interpretation and response thereafter incorrect. Come on, man. Don’t care if you can hold that but it ain’t tough to comprehend
People are weaponizing therapy talk and just flat out don’t understand these terms and definitions, but using them to suit their insecure and abusive behavior.
Have y’all looked around?! If you’re not trying to make a cutie’s (who you’re actively interested in) life easier by sprinkling a little monies, you still in the stadium parking lot while the refs blowing the whistle for the opening kickoff.
(Emphasis on monies and not little)
Target do not have a hold on me. I can walk in right now, grab the paper towels I need and walk out. No fuss no muss. The key is to never actually stop walking. Not even to self checkout.
Between folks feeling a way about how ole girl is treating her dog and some of the resounding outlook on marriage/happiness, it’s safe to say that a lot of people think love, happiness, care, and kindness is finite. They think more for others is less for them.
Older buddy wanted that power dynamic moment so bad. Probably never felt in control of anything in his entire life and wanted to get that off on this kid. Loser shit in abundance
What advice would you give a 4th grader getting ready for middle school?
The Raise The Bar Reading Club spent some time with Mr. Miere’s 4th grade class at KIPP DC Heights Academy.
#raisethebar
big believer as much as I’m intentional about saying I love you, that also that phrase should not carry as much exclusivity as we’ve given it. If it’s true, no matter how long I known you, even if I just met you, imma let you know :)
Aye y’all, guess what?! Today is a special day. Take a moment and wish my sweet, brilliant, silly boy a happy 4th birthday!
All together now… HAPPY BIRTHDAY ROUX! 💜🥳🎂🎊🎁🎈🎉
Men are mad that women are excited about the Barbie movie?! One of the most iconic figures/brands ever?!
Lmaooo nah William Hazlitt was right. Hating gon be here forever. People just can’t help themselves.
The kicker is that almost every WNBA player likely can, at some point, make as much as you do doing your job BUT you will never make as much as any of them to play basketball.
@queenveej
Yup. We partly addressed this on ATP. Movie soundtracks were basically the only way rap/hip hop were remotely crossing the threshold of acceptable. Let alone liked. And the scene that featured the song had to be memorable
A blessing’s blessing. The light of so many lives and she continues to find ways to live hers to the fullest. I love her more than words can say. Anything good about me comes from her. Happy birthday to mama Vickie 💜
