I’ve neglected this place for too long. Currently playing Patrice Rushen in the record shop and all I can think about is De La “Millie Pulled a Pistol on Santa Claus”

Well…

This is a waking nightmare.

Apparently, Sacha Jenkins passed away. The same Sacha Jenkins who was behind the influential magazine Ego Trip that became books then TV specials before pivoting into documentaries, docuseries’ & films. I was but one of many writers inspired by his work…

Man…
. @hiphophenry.bsky.social and I often lament Richmond not being as weird as it used to be
🧵 up and down. Especially relevant for #RVA as gentrification forces us into commercializating our weird shit yet ruins the very culture that made it a desirable place.

Around 2012…when I realized he was gonna sing full time
What year did you start hating Drake? It was 2016 for me. There just wasn’t any growth to his music and people really tried to crucify anybody who said anything.
