So,
I cried…
today.
keyword: today.

i wasn’t about to get netflix just to see beyonce perform yesterday.
netflix and i are on bad terms right now,
but that’s another story.
today,
i watched her concert in houston and it was chef’s kiss.
it’s a whole different level when black excellence takes the stage.
bey has been the entire forest in an industry where we’ve had to fight just to plant roots.
yesterday,
she graced her hometown with a special christmas performance at some arena.
something about the nfl…
ya know,
who cares because once bey rode in on her high horse…

Khalid speaking out after being outed,
and it’s clear that this hit deep.

truth is,
it doesn’t seem like khalid was ready to share his story.
that jackal decided to snatch that moment from him.
next,
we can’t tell khalid how to feel in a situation like this.
i’m gonna repeat that font:

We can’t tell Khalid how to feel in a situation like this.

how you would handle it,
is different to how i would handle it,
and how he is handling it.
everyone processes things differently.

so khalid came out with a video to explain his side and…

Khalid shutting down anyone who doubted his pull.
Hell,
maybe those who didn’t think he had pull.

calling khalid ugly is absolutely ridiculous.
i’m not shocked about khalid being gay.
ya’ll done told me it started with his song,
“location“.
apparently,
the clues are in the lyrics and the alleged grindr notification sound.

the real headline is…

The boogeyman of hip-hop strikes again.

kendrick lamar dropped a surprise album yesterday,
gnx,
and the message is still loud and clear:

Whoever wants to be dragged to hell can step up.
He’s ready.

in “wacced out murals“,

kendrick took a swipe at lil wayne,
calling out his teary-eyed rant about not getting picked for the super bowl.

as you know,
or didn’t,
but the super bowl in his hometown of nawlins this year.

this morning,
wayne logged onto elon’s swamp and chose…

We (desperately) want that ol’ thing back.

muni long’s “made for me” hit different,
didn’t it?

it’s like a love letter to the golden days of R&B,
it fed our nostalgia-starved many of our millennial hearts.
it gave heavy midnight love:

let’s get into FLO,
the UK trio who teamed up with missy for “fly girl“:

…and delivered a sound so 90s/2000s it feels like a time machine.
of course,
many are out here calling their music “dated”.
funny tho…

Gay-friendly gone wrong or in denial?

NLE choppa stepped into the forest,
flexing bawdy and vibes,
and it got all the villagers horny.
i get it.
they have all been looking for every excuse to get under his sheets.
his fatal flaw tho?..
