Happy New Moon & Happy Sweet 16th Volume to us!!
I hope your August is off to an incredible start. I love August because it means summer is almost over. š¤·šæāāļø
The warm weather can be nice but itās my forehead heat rash for me. As soon as the weather drops, my skin immediately improves as do my outfits.
Either way, Iām grateful for my skin as we all should be. This morning I was scrubbing away some dry skin from a healed blister (yum) and found myself just in awe of how our skin repairs itself. It takes some time, but it heals. Ditto. š§š·šæ
LATE
š BLACK MUSIC ASCENSIONS š¶
Recently we lost three iconic black musicians in the physical form:
Rest in Peace toā¦
Kelli Hand aka K-HAND, a DJ + musician from Detroit, the home of the black-originated genre techno. Hereās a video of Kelli doing her thing on the 1s and 2s in 2019 in Belgium:
Paul Johnson of Chicago was a legend of house music. Here he is spinning in 2017
Dennis āD.Tā Thomas, one of the founders of Kool & The Gang. Here is one of the most iconic songs in the history of music also, the title is quite biographical innit? Hereās the band performing on Soul Train in 1974:
š¦CENTRAL PARK KILLS OWL š
In the most ironic series of events, an owl in Central Park was killed by a Central Park Conservancy maintenance vehicle. The park released this victim blaming statement:
What is the employment status of the driver?
NEITHER HERE NOR THERE
š§š§ RIHANNA IS A BILLIONAIRE š°
At the very least I am happy that Rihanna is a black woman billionaire. But if youāre really woke youāre not supposed to publicly like billionaires. Is this an exception? Do you want to be woke more than you want wealth? Sound off in the comments.
I have personally contributed to Rihannaās wealth by purchasing some Fenty beauty for myself and others over the years. I donāt wear concealer, but the highlighter is that girl! I wanted to like the lip gloss but it leaked in my purseā¦so never again.
Should we congratulate Robyn or rob her?
š¤²š» GROPY GOVERNOR GASLIGHTING? š
Dear Cuomo..stop touching people with your hands.
Andrew Cuomo, who weāve touched onā¦ I mean spoke about in volume 4 was found by my neighbor Letitia Jamesā investigative team, to have actually sexually assaulted the 11 women who said that he sexually assaulted them.
Jamesā team released their findings in this lengthy document which says the Gov did a lot of T&A grabbing, asking women if they have/will cheat on their partners, asking women to find him a girlfriend who can āhandle pain,ā etc.
The governor came back with his own lengthy document moments after saying that everyone was lying and that he was trying to help one of the women heal from being sexually abused by somebody else. What??? He also held a press conference which had a Microsoft Word slide show of him touching and kissing all sorts of people, as to prove his innocence.
This man is likely about to face several civil charges for his actions, but has not yet resigned despite his boss, Joe Biden saying he should.
Is it better to be kicked out, or to quit?
šNYC PROOF OF VACCINATION? š§¾
Another politician who we canāt wait for him to get the fuck out of here, Mayor DeBlasio said heās about to make in mandatory to show proof of vaccination in order to patronize some businesses.
As we previously said in volume 5, the honesty policy doesnāt work in this countryā¦so people will just use fake vax cards, which have been on sale since the shot dropped.
Anti vaxxers are super upset about this new rule, when they should spend that energy on photoshop or in a scammerās inbox trying to get their faux documentation!
The vaxxers vs the anti vaxxers is truly the real Verzuz
GREAT
š£LOX VS DIPSET VERZUZ š«
I donāt even know where to start with this one.
If you havenāt watched it, what is wrong with you please click here. If you donāt care to watchā¦and if youāre not a super hip hop headā¦ see you next week girl. Like comment and subscribe. Coz I have lots to sayā¦.
This week, two legendary hip hop groups The LOX and Dipset went head to head in Madison Square Garden (in the theater part though, just to be clear).
Iām a fan of them both had anxiety when this was announcedā¦like how the fuck is this gonna go?
The LOX demolished Dipset.
Avid mask wearer Fat Joeās recap is really succinct and important. It is truly worth every 47 minutes:
As Iāve written in volume 10 Verzuz is based on a multitude of things such as: catalogue, clothing, stage presence and strategy. When discussing this battle ahead of it, I mentioned to a friend that I thought Dipset might win but it would be close.
I based this upon their influence on the cultureā¦but that doesnāt matter in this arena. I wasnāt thinking this through. There is nothing more powerful than somebody who has something to prove. The LOX were seemingly the underdog in this fight. Never sleep on the underdog.
I shouldāve known based on Dipsetās collaboration with Kith, and their copious amounts of āreunionā concerts, that they do every yearā¦at a certain point itās a scam, you guys just care about money.
Camāron is selling sexual enhancement powders on instagramā¦and not even in the cool, Travis Scott way.
CamāRon (who Fat Joe reveals was about to leave MSG thats why he was late to the stage) entered the ring after his groupmates with a horrible hairline & beach chairā¦ as if this competition was about to be easy for him. It wasnāt. He may or may not have gotten booed at the end.
Styles P, juice shoppe guru called Dipset soft before it even started. The LOX opened with āFuck Youā one of my favorite songs and quite a way to set the scene.
They continued to in lock step obliterate Dipset with their natural rhyming ability, plant-based stamina (a little adderall too) and incredible stage presence.
The LOX had incredible strategy: they knew their vain Harlem opponents would attack their outfits so they did it first and leaned into it.
Jim Jones, who fell off the stage at one point, stopped the show at one moment for a jeweler to put a corny chain on his neck:
Juelz sported a horrible durag situation designed by Virgil and forgot majority of his lines, possibly thanks to substance abuse.
The Lox rapped every single word of theirs.
Juelz tried to call out The LOX for not having āgirl songsā and then they played the Mariah Honey remixā¦at that point
I knew how great The LOX was but still didnāt expect thisā¦
I just canāt believe this happened the way it did, although I shouldāve expected itā¦ Diplomatic Denial.
To make matters worse, immediately after winningā¦ Kanye sent The LOX a private jet to join him in the locker room heās sleeping in, while recording DONDA. He played their verses at his scam event on Friday. Still no album.
Where was the preparation????? Where was the plan? You canāt just win ācause you think youāre fly.
Anyway, to focus on the good times I will leave you with this Dipset classic freestyle from Da Basement
