I love De La Soul so much, man.

Just caught Digable Planets show celebrating the 30th anniversary of Blowout Comb and now I'm at a karaoke bar where a couple is singing D'Angelo and Lauryn "Nothing Even Matters" and it feels good to be old because our culture is amazing. Brown liquor is also involved.

When I used to do words for a living, I had fantastic editors who kept my voice intact, sanded down the rough edges, identified my blind spots and pushed me to tighten up my prose. Great editors are like audio mastering engineers to me.

This seems anti Black abd I don’t like it.

Whole world really run by pedophiles and dorks.

I’m still struggling with the fact that ICE “brown shirts” went to a taco shop and thought they would get served. F that!

About half of what it was going to cost to fully fund SNAP in November during the shutdown.

Having never doubted that he is a kiddie fucker does not blunt my rage as the receipts slowly trickle out. I am filled with deep hatred.

Today I'm glad I'm not rich enough to feel absolutely invulnerable when I put things into an email

They’ve laid off so many people that the government is now getting its economic data from DoorDash.

It is hard to come up with a better analogy for whiteness than preferring the AI simulacra of your supposed authentic art form to whatever a Black woman from your art form’s cultural geography might make.

Just a quick PSA: word of mouth will forever and always be the best vessel for music discovery. Yes, algorithms can steer you towards music that aligns w/ the taste you've fed it over time, but a human literally saying "you should check this out" offers a superior layer of personalization.

I often think about how he was a huge inspiration to Robin Williams. Legacy is awesome.

A Veteran's Day message in the family group chat. 🫡🇺🇸

In honor of Outkast being inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame, I'm re-upping my convo with Three Stacks. Still a personal and professional highlight for me. It's bugged out that we're the same age, but that was part of the connection when we chatted.

In a normal democracy, a total collapse of party leadership would result in an no-confidence vote and immediate snap elections to find leaders who can lead

We really could have had Len Bias, Clyde Drexler and Michael Jordan in the league at the same time.

Watched that Allen Iverson doc that my homie produced and now there's a new De La album coming out. My feels are feeling 😭

Driving home from my gig listening to a brand new De La Soul song in 2025...

guys I’m sorry but have you looked through Getty images for yesterday 💀

Hopefully all this will piss Big Orange off and his clots can start moving faster.

I think about this and say it often. No other place this small has affected global culture this much.

Imagine having a kid in this daycare who watches as their teacher is bodily dragged away by masked goons.

Suburban strip mall banquet hall font.

I'm enjoying seeing Desus and Mero happy about their new mayor and trying not to imagine how great it would have been if they were hosting a Mamdani election night victory show together.

The only way this could possibly be better is if someone pulled up as Teena Marie and y'all started singing "Fire and Desire". You are the champion of Halloween.

We are the most beautiful, the silliest, the most hilarious. 😆🥹

Stevland sang at D'Angelo's funeral. He has sang so many of our beloveds to their eternal rest. I hope that doesn't weigh too heavy on his heart but when you hear him speak, he's very clear that he's a vessel for love and beauty so he does what his soul and his maker call him to do.

Whenever I see coverage of parties at Mar-a-Lago I just always imagine it smells like a 1985 Bloomingdale’s perfume counter in there.

I have subscribed to day after Thanksgiving Christmas stuff. I will never subscribe to November 1st Christmas stuff.

WE SHALL NOT YIELD

Y'all sistren and some of these Halloween costumes...

Why are ‘we’ like this?! 🤣😭

This is art.

Yall please look at my niece 😭😭😭

My son and his cousin with the hardest mixtape cover this year

Who is the older person in these two photos?

Like everything he touches?

I’ve said it before, but I knew this country was headed toward… the current path… by the way people (and institutions) handled Covid

It’s the best when a tiny kid dresses as a “big” character, like you get a 2-foot-tall Thing from Fantastic Four

The way these Gen X losses keep piling up, my spirit rejoices every time I see Big Daddy Kane receiving his well deserved flowers, crushing a stage, or just posting hilarious content with his son on socials. And that vid of Rakim embracing George Clinton as he says the God's rhymes?! My feels... 😭

On the left, the refurbished Lincoln bathroom. On the right, picture I took in Saddam Hussein's palace in Basra in 2005.

One ongoing fascination in my DJ work is how Black and white women are disciples of two completely different Beyoncés. Them hits don't hit the same with each audience.

This is correct.

Get offline for a day. Create something. I'm serious. You cannot endure our current reality in ANY timeline if you are constantly scraping your raw nerves across the jagged edges of the evil that people do. You need tangible, embodied reminders that we endure through hope and love, not despair.

We're really now in the timeline where climate change has rendered certain parts of the globe uninhabitable.

Custom made double breasted uniform great coat not alluding to any historical period in particular surely

Imagine being the big ol powerful company that owns Tylenol and not suing Trump for the whole bullshit autism stuff immediately because you were too afraid of him and then being sued by Texas lmao

The POTUS really be out here crapping his pants and his cult just pretends that they don't smell him.

Autumnal skyline cleanse with the fur chirren and they old lightskinneded daddy, also known as Al Thoreau.
