Killer Mike being completely silent while Georgia tries to ensure Black ppl never flip any election ever again, and Cube being silent since the election PERIOD is exactly why folks be like 🤨😒 to some of your fave Black celebrities with loud voices but no actual organizing work
Some celebrities realize they have an opportunity via their platforms to make impactful change.

Some just want their voice to be important.

They don't always know the difference.
I was on a zoom last year where Keri Washington herself gave a whole ass PowerPoint presentation. Share screen and all. Broke down data and sources and goals on a targeted voter messaging & information initiative.

Cube ain't even explain details of his plan" in broad strokes.
I mean Kerry*.
I don't how I even typed that.
If y'all in my replies like "Mike is in Birmingham with Bernie unionizing Amazon so ha!" You absolutely missed the point.

Ok, but sis...you and Tara literally made it an extreme sport, including getting pregnant with kids nine and ten back to back on purpose to lay claim to him. After watching how he'd talk about one of you and gas the other on national tv.
You're an exceptional case.
Somebody could do their marriage and family therapy dissertation on Peter, Tara and Amina.
The first time I started really paying attention to Cardi was when she read Peter for absolute filth for the way he treated them both and having them look crazy. (Yes, irony, I know)

I mean... he needed to be there. For us to look at him.
As I got older and really listening I started assuming I was just always hearing JoJo's voice stacked. He carried all the vocal weight in that group, even for his brother sometimes:

I know this seems silly and "rich ppl problems" on the surface, but Kris married Rob when she was 22 and he was 30. She was a nursing student from a working class family and had been in the scene for a minute, but was basically taken care of by her golf pro bf before Rob.
But she took that lack of knowledge, flipped it into a grind, rebuilt Bruce Jenner's whole brand, and then flipped her daughter's ancillary fame into a mega empire. I may hate what the Kardashians have done to culture but I will never EVER hate on Kris Jenner's drive.
Also not knowing HOW to pay bills is not the same thing as not being ABLE to pay bills. One is about budget, knowing what your household overhead is, what's the monthly revenue is, etc. Michael Jackson ain't know how to pay bills either

I just thought about when Kandi starts pulling out them shits she wrote for other people on May 8th....
@verzuzonline
Some of y'all asking "Is that allowed?" Which makes me wonder if you've seen a Verzuz....
Ppl were asking for Kandi back when they were JUST doing songwriters and producers, and features + material written/produced for others has always been in bounds.
First of all, y'all memory is SO selective on Xscape. Especially when you add features.
Second, we've only had ONE OTHER GROUP PAIRING... there's not exactly a precedent.
Lastly, Kandi AND Tiny wrote a lot of them hits together - that's half the group.

Happy Sunday, fam! I’m still in twitter exile from @naima, and I don’t know for how long.
Alot of you know, but twitter got me on a DCMA takedown - HOWEVER - they haven’t actually sent me the takedown notice so I can appeal it. Folks are helping, so keep your fingers crossed.
In the meantime, worship continues! Because they can’t hold me down! (I mean they can... but I’ma fight).
I say all that to say... THERE WILL BE A #MUSICSERMON today!
Actually, a remix/update on one of our earliest sermons.
And you guys will be happy to know the sermons are not lost. I started backing them up a while ago just in case.
