Casino turned 30 over the weekend. I wrote about the maximalist brilliance many critics missed in 1995 and why they missed it, as well as its place in Scorsese’s filmography three decades later. inreviewonline.com/2025/11/24/y...

A beautiful requiem for the miracle that was D'Angelo. The pen, the voice, the face, the talent. The three classics. The genius that he could summon by force of will. The impossibility of categorizing him. The void that his death leaves. By Abe Beame www.passionweiss.com/2025/10/14/d...

Dug this heartfelt tribute to D'Angelo by @abebeame.bsky.social. "With each project that parallel line between the sound of mainstream R&B & whatever TF D’Angelo is up to continued to diverge...but the songs were no less potent or beloved." HT @nitishpahwa.com | www.passionweiss.com/2025/10/14/d...

few people beat @abebeame.bsky.social when it comes to passionate, deeply felt obits of our greatest artists

so, @abebeame.bsky.social finagled his way into the NYFF's Marty Supreme events, then penned a dispatch for the ages

another solid Cuban Linx retrospective from @abebeame.bsky.social: www.okayplayer.com/rediscovered...

This is a good deep dive on Meek. Being Philly all the way down to my bones means he reps the city and vice versa but it's known that his limitless talent is matched only by the fucking mess of a life he has outside the studio. Also he lost a rap beef to Drake, but mainly it's the other things.

Profiled Meek Mill and discussed criminal justice reform, label bullshit, and you know who. www.complex.com/music/a/abe-...

Saw Wayne move into a new stage in his career last night and considered the passage of time for @rollingstone.com www.rollingstone.com/music/music-...

As a restaurateur, Tilman Fertitta has exhibited no specific taste other than a hunger for a thick, juicy bottom line. We sent @abebeame.bsky.social to dine at his latest and buzziest establishment: The Corner Store.

Spent the last few months thinking and writing about Tilman Fertitta, the billionaire restauranteur attempting a hostile takeover of New York’s restaurant scene, for @thebaffler.com thebaffler.com/latest/the-b...

I wrote about the end of a great bar in Bed Stuy and some real bullshit for @bkmag.bsky.social www.bkmag.com/2025/05/28/b...

He still ain’t good in Dyckman.

@coreyatad.com claims sharing work on here is better for writers, so prove him right by performatively liking this Unified Theory of Tim Robinson piece I wrote for GQ that no one on Twitter gives a shit about www.gq.com/story/tim-ro...

you may think you never want to read anything about the adjective "Lynchian" ever again, but I promise you that the great @abebeame.bsky.social has written an etymology extremely worth your time: lareviewofbooks.org/article/defi...

Something I have to be constantly reminded by when I talk to editors is you can’t base the popularity of a piece on Twitter traffic.

Some personal news: Nominated for my first James Beard Award after making a Gochujang, Kimchi & Tofu Stew with the bric-a-brac in my pantry and wilting produce in my fridge

What the fuck did I do to the algorithm to deserve this

A fun way to watch The Order is to pretend it’s about a redneck militia opposed to the Zionist project.

honored, as always, to contribute to @passionweiss.bsky.social's annual roundup of the best rap songs of the year, this time to expound on the wonders of the Luh Tyler and Bossman Dlow collaboration "2 Slippery," a fitting anthem for the Florida rap scene: www.passionweiss.com/2024/12/29/t...

I am learning my taste as an editor is completely different to the point of being diametrically opposed to my taste as a writer.

This Nolan news was terrible, not for the film we know nothing about, but because it’s the perfect intersection of speculative film bros and Classics nerds flexing and getting jokes off.

The perfect night to dive head first into a bowl of lamb fat, chili oil and peppercorns.

“The artist clearly wanted to make a great work of art” is a pretty funny critique.

The first time we went to Ugly Baby it was on a couples date with some people we thought we could be friends with, but then they wouldn’t eat anything and we realized it wouldn’t work. This headline perfectly sums up why I loved and will miss Uhly Baby. defector.com/i-loved-how-...
