I always wanted Method Man and D'Angelo to do a joint album.
D’Angelo’s soulful voice helped shape the sound of an era, bridging R&B and hip-hop through timeless collaborations like “Break Ups 2 Make Ups” with Method Man. A true musical visionary who left his mark on the culture. R.I.P D’Angelo 🕊️

This album changed the entire game. A classic that gets heavy rotation to this day
D’Angelo was one of the most widely revered artists of the past 30 years. He began his career as a songwriter for other artists, but quickly asserted himself as a solo star with his 1995 debut 'Brown Sugar.' More: https://t.co/iFJ83gV9EQ

D'Angelo was truly one of one. Timeless records. Effortless cool. Musically on another level 🙏🏽

In twelve days, New Yorkers will begin to cast their ballots and face a stark choice. A choice between democracy and oligarchy. Between a city you can afford or more of the same. Between the hope of a brighter future or a broken past. We will choose the future.

Many people have made crime shows but there's only one The Wire. David Simon is one of my personal writing heroes for a reason.

The Wire was created by a Baltimore Sun reporter and cop-turned-teacher who LIVED in that world for years. The authenticity made the show. You think AI could come up with Omar? Shiiiiiit
It takes some kind of balls to even suggest this to the creator of The Wire:

Twista and Scarface almost being on Roc-A-Fella needs to be discussed more
Twista is such a legend. Here he is performing “Adrenaline Rush” at a Cincinnati club in 1998. I don’t think people outside the Midwest understand just how massive that album was. The Midwest held him down like no other — he never had to leave.

It's gonna take strong governors, protestors and lawyers to fight against Trump's takeover of blue cities. None of this is normal or legal.

Rap is a high art-form . It is rhythm and poetry . It is also one of the most complex forms of writing when it’s mastered . Don’t ever let people devalue the art form that rap is .
