one thing that unnerves me about this attempt to push ai generated r&b… it just feels like a new way for white ceos in music to commodify & distill black art, and in this case they don’t have to tell a real person that their ideas are too radical. a dream scenario for them.

who in music started using “body of work” to mean only one singular project/album… whoever it was i hate you.

El-P sounds the exact same on any track whether it’s from the late 90s or right now… an ageless wonder

Beatrice M is one of the top-tier electronic producers right now - everything she makes is brilliant

i learned the other day that this is one of the top 100 streamed songs on spotify of all time... i knew it was a big song but not *that* big

Under Trump, 591 books by Black authors have been banned from Pentagon-run schools and libraries, according to Onyx Impact. It’s Dee-LAN-oh! 👈🏽 🤷🏽‍♂️ axios.com/2025/11/29/fun…

I’m increasingly thinking that Clairo’s “Charm” album is a modern classic

There have been so many great musical comebacks in the last few years, especially in dance music… I wish I could say that Skream & Benga were one of them

Today I learned that Mustafa is a credited writer on “Sucker” by the Jonas Brothers… I never in a million years would’ve expected that

both gyrofield and a morgan wallen/post malone collab appear when you first click on the top 100 songs of the year list… the duality of pitchfork.

OURI is an artist who deserves a lot more attention and praise… her music is so gorgeous

this RA end of the year thing looks like some bootleg spotify buzzword nonsense

I will take back at least half the negative things I’ve said about Crumbl cookies if their CEO indeed helps make Penn State football more miserable

idk if I’m alone here but “Come Down” by Anderson Paak is one of my least favorite songs on the Malibu album, and it’s continued usage in seemingly every sports commercial has baffled me lol

Whenever someone says something about not having enough time for movies or books, I want them to post their screen time

If this is indeed about to be the end of Giannis’ tenure on the Bucks, I will root for him anywhere he goes… he always gave his all for this team and completely reinvigorated basketball in Milwaukee after a decade plus of mediocre-to-awful years.

Shawny Binladen, Lady Binladen, and OsamaSon should form a supergroup together

Miss Black America by KIRBY is an incredible album
