This screenshot is not actually a very good case for '89 being a bad year for pop music, but I've perused some of those Hot 100s and lemme tell ya, the bad stuff is much more numerous and much, much more bad than in most years

Tom Scocca @tomscocca.bsky.social · 1d

People need to stop retconning literally the worst era in American popular music history into something it wasn't, just because there were also some amazing records that like 250 people happened to be hunting down and listening to

Lauryn Hill just shared a moving tribute to the late D’Angelo:

People need reflection.

I regret not having more time with you. Your undeniable beauty and talent were not of this world, and a presence not of this world needs protection in a world that covets light and the anointing of God. You sir, moved us, stirred us, inspired and even intimidated others to action with your genius. Thank you for being a beacon of light to a generation and beyond who had no
remembrance of the legacy that preceded us. Thank you for charting the course and for making
space during a time when no similar space really existed.

You imaged a unity of strength and sensitivity in Black manhood to a generation that only saw itself as having to be one or the other. It is my earnest prayer that you are in peace, far away from selfishness, fear and/or controlling interests. Far from possessiveness, far from greed, far from manipulation, far from exploitation, far from intentionally designed chaos and that you Brother are in peace, in bliss and in eternal light and fulfillment with our Father in heaven. I Love you and I miss you. May God grant peace and shelter to your family, true friends and genuine appreciators, Brother, King.

Not even going to mention the accolades and numbers, as music isn’t about that, but her success during this time (sales and concert tour) exemplify the hold she had on the public with this project. She should be very proud of this. Cheers, Jan, Jam & Lewis. This still holds up well decades later.

Griever @griever91.bsky.social · Sep 20

A risky gamble, and a little too broad, but this *was* pop music coming from a 23-year-old sheltered woman, but the spirit and message are there, aided by Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis’ production and songwriting. Fantastic from start to finish and a crowning achievement in a career full of them.

Yes, there was carefree, sunny bops (Escapade, Alright, Love Will Never Do) & her ballads & bedroom jams (Come Back To Me & Someday Is Tonight), but half the record was devoted to drugs (Black Cat), education (The Knowledge), school shootings (Livin’ In A World) & homelessness (State of the World).

Imagine following up your huge breakthrough album that spawned an entire sub-genre (new jack swing) with a socially conscious album. Do you know the guts that had to take? And this wasn’t in the era of poptimism like we are in now. Janet knew she’d be ripped apart by critics, and some weren’t kind.

Convincing Janet to come outside from her years long hiatus is a flex, but I think it’s just Cardi rapping over that Funny How Time Flies sample she posted a snippet of awhile back.

It’s one thing to make good music. Great music even! But to pretend you’re a revolutionary whilst greedily hoarding wealth and doing stuff that harms your own people is a special kind of cognitive dissonance.

Griever @griever91.bsky.social · Sep 15

I like their music, but billionaires gonna billionaire. These are awful people who say one thing in public and fund and vote differently in private. Bey been on my shitlist since the native thing earlier this summer. Don’t think for a second these greedy fucks care about you.

Beyonce & Jay-Z held a fundraiser where they seated themselves next to Jared Kushner & Ivanka Trump.

When will the poor have as much class solidarity as the billionaires?
