Yeah, Brother Love left the door WIDE open for that one
Listen kids, the ‘90s were full of ABSOLUTELY TRASH DEALS. TRASHHHHH. Artists signed to production companies, not the labels, not understanding how many ppl touched money before it got to them. Folks not being explained how points, advances, and recoupment work.
And right to not be bothered with basically anyone or anything.
Even now, we’re perpetually peering over our glasses and then going about our business while everybody fights with the Boomers.
The biggest thing I think people have to understand about Gen X is that we grew up not learning how to fight the system (bc our parents, who’d been activists & protesters, were never home - ha), but how to work AROUND the system and create new ones (hence everything in the ‘90s)
I know it's late, but I've been saying "Ok, tomorrow..." because of time about this for over a week now, and I don't want to keep delaying, so...

Happy Sunday, Saints (and ain'ts). Yup, there is a #MusicSermon on my spirit, and I'm gonna get it out even though the hour is late.

The #MusicSermon ministry believes in keeping R&B alive even in a time such at this, when the genre isn't held in proper esteem. We extol the variety of R&B music, and the many forms and subjects it takes, like Beggin' Ass R&B

Good evening, family. I know it's been awhile since we all gathered to fellowship, but we're back!

I want to thank all of you who have been waiting patiently since....sheesh, I think April (!), for us to be back in the house one more time. Time's up. Sorry I left you.
Tonight, we're going to ease back into #MusicSermon service with something kind of light. I started late on purpose, because it's appropriate for tonight's topic.
But since we haven't had service in a while, we should do Church Announcements.

Women, RT if you’ve had more of these uncomfortably-close, dude-won’t-take-no-for-an-answer, even-if-you-say-you-have-a-man, convos that you can even try to count.
The WORST part is having to maintain an air of politeness and civility turning the whole exchange bc you don’t know if he’ll try to hurt you for rejecting him.
I will never forget once turning a guy down curtly after the polite rebuffs weren’t working, hearing the standard “fck you then, b*tch” that usually comes once they realize it’s a no as I walked away, and praying nothing happened while I had my back to him.
