Genesis speaks directly to the role & necessity of imagination. Art has never been trivial. The opening line of the Bible, five words in, is the only way we survive—the only way we have our being.
“In the beginning, God created.”

I’m beginning to see the foreshadowing of the fact that we’re only receiving the story of #TheChi because Bakari wrote the book (no one paid attention to at first) and then passed away.
I just want the writers to know that if it’s true… you’ll have a hater in me forever.

It was 1986. Sonny Rollins fell, broke his heel, and kept playing his tenor sax.

My favorite Earth, Wind, and Fire fact will be that that’s the band’s name because Maurice White didn’t have any water signs in his chart.
The music you know. The story you don’t.
Ahmir “Questlove” Thompson tells the story of the Grammy-award winning band chronicling their evolution, highs and lows, spiritual meaning, and lasting legacy. #EarthWindandFireHBO premieres June 7 on @HBOMax.

And I love talking about it.
As much as Yasiin is hip-hop, he’s also the screen. There isn’t a character he hasn’t loved to life.

Decades ago Miles Davis recorded the full albums Workin', Cookin', Relaxin' and Steamin' in two marathon 1956 sessions to get out of his Prestige contract. The big difference was they were all classics....

Being asked a really good question feels phenomenal. The type of question that leads to a thoughtful conversation where I almost have to collect my thoughts before diving into it. That scratches my brain so goood. It makes me feel so known and desired

Usher looked us in the eyes and stood hand in hand with Diddy, the abuser, last month. This month, it’s Chris Brown, the abuser.
Those are choices.

If people who think only exist for you on social media, you have to change the people you hang around. That's dangerous.

Raphael Saadiq writing, producing, playing every instrument, and singing the background vocals on an Elmiene track?
My God, I’m obsessed. This thing feels like a baptism.

They Cloned Tyrone should’ve 100% been a theatre release. Such a loss that it wasn’t.

So many Black films have been premiering on streaming and it’s bothering me. This is not a jab at any of these films. Just shows how difficult it is to get a Black film in theaters. Also some producers have bought into the idea of mostly making Black films FOR streaming.

A relationship is a very long conversation. Don’t date people you don’t like talking to.

Before Lauryn sang “Nothing Even Matters,” she mentions that her and D’Angelo never got to perform it together.
Midway through the song, the camera did this beautifully intentional pan to an empty keyboard. It was the holiest moment of the night.
He was in the room.

Last night immediately sent me back to his Verzuz performance from February 2021.
5 years later, and that moment will forever be in conversation with this one.

This man is a shapeshifter who can move seamlessly through emotions. Put him back on stage, and take my money!
