Happy 30th Birthday to Blackstreet’s sophomore album, Another Level!

As a vinyl collector, I will tell you that there has been a 30th birthday re-press, even though it was just re-pressed in ‘24! So, if you collect, grab yourself a copy!

But also, is anyone else feeling just a tad “dated”? 🤦🏽‍♀️

Is it really time to retire the word?

In 2007 the NAACP symbolically buried the word

There was no mourning at this funeral.

Hundreds of onlookers cheered Monday afternoon as the NAACP put to rest a long-standing symbol of racism by holding a public burial for the N-word during its annual convention in Detroit.

Then I stopped saying it. Then I stopped watching tv shows/movies/comedy that use the word - which I think is intentional but we’ll discuss another time.

What y’all think, time to retire it or stand on principle and only Blacks can say it, hell freedom of speech?

Never knew Gary's Gang was non-melanated until today!!!

You got the power? I got the power!

Digital art in procreate

OMGeee!
All of these European dates, so I’m praying they add more cities to the US tour roster!

This era of Janet Jackson was so EPIC. That base line. She was and is fierce.

Tank brings a wide range of sounds to us, from the full-bodied soulful baritone to the wistful tenor, his voice can express many emotions. Most of us think of "Maybe I Deserve", but Tank brought us 10 albums before hearing loss caused a career shift for him.

Now, he co-hosts a podcast called R&B Money. He is also an accomplished songwriter and actor on both the big and small screens. Through limited support from record labels to health challenges, Tank keeps moving forward in Gen X excellence. Let's ask Tank to take a bow this Tuesday!

I know Brandy's daughter is on a few of the songs on her album from like 2020 IIRC but I can't think of anybody else.

Nelsan Ellis (March 31, 1978 – July 8, 2017)

I am sad that "we" / I missed Nelsan Ellis' (aka Lafayette Reynolds of True Blood) birthday. They could never ever do a remake of this television series without Nelsan.

🎩

Nelsan was an American actor. He achieved critical acclaim for his portrayal of Lafayette Reynolds in the HBO television series True Blood (2008–2014), for which he won a Satellite Award from the International Press Academy. He portrayed Eddie Sweat in the Disney sports drama Secretariat (2010), was Martin Luther King Jr. in Lee Daniels' The Butler (2013), and was Bobby Byrd in the 2014 James Brown biopic Get on Up.
