i saw “act ii: cowboy carter” leaked yesterday and i told myself:

“DON’T JAMARI!
CHILL!”

i was laying in bed,
while recovering from bad allergies when i saw it all over twitter.
i am proud of myself for waiting until the actual release to listen.
so my thoughts…

We barely appreciate Mariah and all the other legends.

i keep saying and fonting that people don’t appreciate you until you gone.
until you say “fuck you, don’t talk to me anymore, goodbye“.
folks get the message either through death,
when they see your ass glo’d up in “new me; who dis?”,
or you not fuckin’ with them anymore because of being taken for granted.

“OMG!
______ was so amazing and I miss them so much!”

tell us how you fucked up and lost a good thing without telling us.
so when i see shit like this…

I called it.
I knew it.
I felt it.
I heard it.

i had a feeling bey was dropping new music.
she wasn’t walking around here like dolly parton.
i knew before her iconic verizon commercial during the superbowl:

pause: i love love LOVE this commercial.
i love when bey shows us her personality.
well after usher’s concert,
bey was like it’s my turn and she broke the superbowl cause…

as a millennial,
i pulled up to see my gen x legend give us a performance.
usher has been a part of many of our lives since we were young.
he has done some dumb shit over the years that has gotten him caught up.
see what i did there?
he’s like bey with songs that bring back hella memories.

Sidebar: I’m listening to Confessions and I am taken back to a time when I was getting over someone.
I couldn’t listen to this album for a long time but it still sounds so fresh as it did in 2004.

i remember when “yeah” dropped and all the white wolves lost their shit.
that song in the club use to activate peak “copy the video” too.
so when i see…

lets acknowledge that nicki minaj dropped her diss(?) track to megan thee stallion.
it’s called big foot.
for the first time in history,
she @ an opponent instead of sub tweeting.
YAY FOR GROWTH!
after hearing it,
i can also acknowledge that…

i’m glad megan the stallion is coming hard this era.
i was bored with the many ways she could shake her tail.
like taylor swift during her “reputation” era,
megan is embracing the rumors and coming for everyone’s neck.
i listened to her new track,
hiss,
this morning…
