Everyone in the rap world has been going crazy over "ShEther" for two days now, but this non-news is the latest hip hop news here?

If only Baz had the forethought to cast Chance the Rapper in a role in this bafflingly expensive historic melodram. Then all of the clueless snark from people that don't give a shit would be replaced with clueless wonder from people who don't give shit

Funky Drummer sample was also used heavily in 90s EDM as well, particular DnB and breakbeat

The headline is quite clickbait - y, but I still don't mind when it's a small word that differentiates good smart black art from the lowest common denominator crap or many of the growing-up-in-hood stories.

It's… kinda not worth listening to. The Internet mantra for almost two decades has been "don't feed the trolls". That person could (and likely has) been easily re-trolled with the obvious insults that Internet people of all stripes can give (example: sounds like she threw a party with her cat after making Silver in…

I'm an old, old black fart. I don't mind "woke" at all. And absolutely none of my other intelligent old black fart friends hate it either. People dislike "trendy" things without even understanding why anymore.

I was just about to compare Dream On to Arliss as well. A show I watched younger and didn't find amazing, but also didn't find it awful. Mostly harmless.

That speaks a bit about Western society, when you think about it. Maybe that wasn't the intention. Or maybe that's another twist.

Fox, actually

I'm not a fan of Iron Fist either, but canonically, he makes sense as he and Luke Cage have been partners for so long, particular Heroes for Hire

I feel like Diamondback was to be an over-the-top blaxploitation type of villain, and the actor really sold it. But the character didn't fit into the established world at all, especially with how he was written.

I would really like to see a Misty Knight show. I thought the character was really well-acted, and having more time to ogle Simone Missick isn't bad

Even SNL made the joke that HRC was a Republican

I'm pretty sure I could also go to the Omega Psi Phi website and find "all shades" there too. But that's not gonna make the Que Dog image (and all the ones I personally know that happily fit it) go away no more than the AKA one.

I've known at least a dozen AKAs, and exactly one was dark-skinned

Is 2014 Forest Hills Drive the name of a pretty obscure geek indie rock band?
