I Tried To Fight It But I Fell in Like With Drake. I Blame Hotline Bling
The day has come, ladies and gentlegoons. I have to admit that I enjoy Drake. I might think he raps like Eeyore and he runs through the 6 with hella woes, confusing me. BUT I gotta say that I like Drake the persona. Wheelchair Jimmy has grown on me, and it …
Janelle Monae’s “Hell You Talmbout” is Movement Music that Moves Me
Chile, y’all know I LOVE ME SOME Janelle Monae. Not just because her closet is my spirit animal and her love of suits and feminine menswear makes my heart swell. The lady is a free Black girl whose music has no limits and she has fun with it. Plus, she …

It’s been about two weeks at this point, since the Meek Mill vs. Drake beef has been happening. In case you’re wondering “What is a Meek Mill?” or “Where can I get a Drake?” it’s ok. They’re both rappers. One of them used to resemble Lumiere the candlestick from Beauty …
The 20 Greatest TV Show Theme Songs of All Time
I miss the times when TV show theme songs were big. Back when the opening credits was about laying the groundwork, giving you some context or just telling you the background story. We spent the first 1.5 minutes of each show just jamming, singing along and getting ready for our …

Shade, Snubbery and Sam Smith Slayage: My 2015 GRAMMY Awards Recap
What can be said about the GRAMMY Awards that can’t be said about any other out of touch award show? It was long, it was hella white and it snubbed Black and brown people. It’s their tradition and it is mine to complain about it. Consider this that complaint. But …
Brandy, Queen Latifah, MC Lyte and Yo-Yo Performing “I Wanna Be Down” Was Everything!
I did not watch the BET Hip Hop Awards last night because I forgot and nobody reminds me of anything anymore (*side-eyes everyone*). Plus I had work to do. I’m catching up with some of what I missed (amen, YouTube) and I got my entire LIFE with the performance that …
Aretha Franklin Performed on David Letterman and Cissy Houston Can’t Be Bothered
Last night, Aretha Franklin went on the David Letterman show to perform her cover of Adele’s Rolling in the Deep. When the recording dropped, many said she breathed new life into the song but that autotune was not what life was about. I couldn’t even finish it. But her singing …
Kanye West Calls Out Fan in Wheelchair For Not Standing Up at Concert. Ugh.
Kanye West is a giant douchecanoe. So many antics, so little accountability and people got so many excuses for him (he’s a genius. He’s misunderstood. He lost his mother). The latest in a long list of “WTF, Kanye?” is what happened at a concert he had on Friday in Sydney, …
