you can just tell when a black artist âreclaimingâ something grew up with a growing contempt for their identity as it relates to blackness / separating the two itâs actually very cringe bc these ppl get branded as the most forward and intelligent.

all artists, especially black ones, deserve to make a fair living without Academy recognition or having to participate in a cycle that promotes hierarchies and individualism at the expense of others. pushing for this helps to perpetuate this cycle.
Getting recognition from the Grammys isnât about validation or clout. Itâs the fact that that the platform immediately means a higher pay grade, financial growth and increased resources. At the end of the day we want to make art, radical or not and afford to make a living.

social media is not real life. if you donât see it here, that doesnât mean it doesnât exist - itâs just not here. social media polarizes us and conditions us away from both objectivity and subjectivity. itâs not safe here.

a lot of people assume that iâm some kind of singer purist but i actually think every single person can sing and likely really well! just gotta find your voice and not try and sound like another. so many unique voices and so much to study in vocalese.

being inspired by someone does not equate a solid foundation for a healthy friendship, it feels like it can be a breeding ground for the opposite.

yes the bullshit (facism, racism, transphobia etc) needs to be met with more open violence but we also need to be prepared to help ppl when they get inevitably punished.

the UAE is contributing to the genocide of Sundanese people. we should all be boycotting the UAE, especially black folks.
In real life, (black) corporate people are moving to Dubai as we speak for bigger and better opportunities. On Twitter, the blacks (incel) look at Dubai in a negative way. Interesting.

every few years or so a black artist declares their distance from a black genre and itâs very often R&B.

education and informing ourselves is more important than ever. Isr*el (backed by the U.S.) has armed and enabled facist rulers and regimes all over the world. In Africa and Latin America especially. Theyâve trained US cops on how to k*ll black and brown people more efficiently.
