  • This is the same Jaye P Morgan that was on The Gong Show?!
  • DOR said: bassie2 said: There are people our age who never appreciated the urgency of the Clash or Gaye's despair or De La Soul's vision when they were first released. It's a tall order to expect a 24 year old in 2016 to give a damn …
  • I've skipped Game of Thrones, too. Not really into fantasy or costumey stories. I was in the same room as a recent episode, though, and I had a good belly laugh when the blond gal swooped in on the dragon and vowed to destroy people's stone houses. …
  • Hairy Moody said: I'm awfully glad to not be that guy.  Basically.
  • For people born in the early 60s to 80s, we are operating under the belief that we are the recipients of a "better world" than what our parents and those before them lived in. Economic booms, end of wars with tangible freedoms gained, major shifts i…

  • Jim Jones - The Kitchen Curren$y - The Legend of Harvard Blue Kodak Black - Lil B.I.G. Pac
  • Too many if I list all the 60s and 70s artists that have passed and 80s artists I was too young for in their prime (specifically, reggae and dancehall) But off the top of my head: Zaire 74 Aretha at the Filmore West Monk's come back at the Five Spot…
  • They all looked like plucked birds. I have a hard time referring to them as anything but it for the first few months, because they are so odd. It's not even on purpose (and I have learned people find it really offensive) but until they have some sem…

  • The Wire still sits at the top of the list (though Simon's "go home, please" comments during Freddie Gray protests have left a sour note). Homicde has not aged well imo. mix of new and old: Happy Valley - BBC1 Survivor's Remorse - best female char…
  • The Roots Dylan Kanye (as a rapper. I rate his production as top five) Tupac Erykah Badu Common Kendrick Lamar (out of everything he's done, I can think of less than five songs I like and half that's with him as a feature) Wiz Mac Miller Aubs I lis…
  • Maybe the question should be who is telling Nina's story? http://jezebel.com/meet-the-team-behind-nina-1762401564?utm_medium=sharefromsite&utm_source=Jezebel_twitter

  • dukeofdelridge said: This thread disturbs me. Are you guys all that comfortable with death? Nope, but my own death is easier to contemplate and accept - for lack of a better word -  than those I love. 
  • Duderonomy said: day said: bassie2 said: Stevie Wonder  This over everyone else. And it will fuck me up for a long minute. Call me a heartless bastard, but when someone has led a long life, and leaves behind a great body of…
  • Stevie Wonder  I know people who would have to stay home that day. After Joe Strummer and Nina Simone, Stevie might be the next person (who I don't know) whose passing would fuck me up
  • white_tea said:  Did I miss "White Privilege I"? You mean the Microagressions thread?
  • I thought MNIMN was really disappointing - it's basically a two tracker for me. I was hesitant with Darkest, too, but I rate it high now. It was a really good year for rap, what was good was excellent...and varied. Vince Staples, Jay Rock, Jadakis…
  • I guess at this point I've more left the board than am left on it but Pusha T - Darkest Before Dawn 50 - The Kanan Tape Dave East - Hate Me Now Mike Davis - King Davis Yo Gotti - CM8 Jadakiss - T5DOA (tape not album)

  • What is happening is well-documented all over the internet. Why ask an academic on SoulStrut when you can read and hear first-person accounts of those on campus and on the receiving end of *microaggressions* like being threatened with death and cor…
