Would love to hear Thriller for the first time in 1982. Honorable mention: would love to have been about 10 years older to truly appreciate music in the 90s.

Is there a music moment you wish you hadn’t missed out on? For example: I wish I hadn’t missed Kurt Cobain/Nirvana and Radiohead.

D’Angelo’s catalog is filled with classic songs but one of my favorites that doesn’t get talked about much is his scorching cover of Prince’s “She’s Always in My Hair” for the SCREAM 2 soundtrack; a choice needle drop for the opening scene.

I loved when artists featured darker complexion women in their music videos. it made me feel seen as a young girl who got bullied for being darker.

Tish James lit up the room last night — and her words echoed far beyond the walls of The United Palace. This is a fight for the future.

Just bc I know what's wrong with me doesn't mean I have the tools to fix it, and just bc I have some tools doesn't mean they're the right ones or all the ones I need. Also, the issue with being highly self-aware is that paradoxically, you don't know what's in your blind spots. Highly is not 100%.

Question for ppl who go to therapy but are highly self aware of their issues: how does therapy help you?

I gotta say and it’s a soft spot for me but seeing Mamdani support Tish James when a lot of dem , left, liberal and everybody has been so damn complacent

About watching Black women be attacked ?

and not making it some generic thing or pretending it’s disconnected from what’s coming ..

Chileeee. I've gotten really good at letting convos die until they revive them and leaving if it flatlines for too long. I want entertaining, curious, stimulating conversation without always being the entertainer, stimulator, and curiousity.

I settled on a clip from the (incredible) doc Sly Lives! (watch it now on Hulu if you haven't.) I think it's the most transparent commentary I ever heard from D'Angelo; it's about Sly, but it's really about him.

My plan was to grab a whole different clip, but this one felt right.
