I have a very short list of people that I think could maybe, make a Black male version of Lemonade;

I thought it started off well enough, but by mid-season all of the momentum was sucked out of the show. I found absolutely nobody likeable- which isn't something I usually worry about. Typically I don't care if a character is likeable as long as they're entertaining; problem was, nobody was entertaining aside from

Okay, as a person who apparently liked Jessica Jones, could you please explain to me what is so good about that show that I'm not getting? I finished the first season and the first thought that popped into my head was, "that would have been decent if it were about 3-4 episodes shorter."

Being a "pop" artist isn't a good excuse. There are plenty of pop singers who are currently making music that's actually different and interesting.

I'm thinking more along the lines of Drake, as a Canadian, talking about Blackness in Canada specifically. I don't regularly listen to him, but I don't think he's ever done something like that. At the very least it would be a different perspective.

Yeah. When you think about it, the fact that so much of his work is shallow might be the key to his popularity. I once saw a video by a youtuber called D. Respect where he called Drake the "voice of social media". He brought up the idea that Drake's boastful songs are about separation (i.e. my money, my women, my

One topic I really wish Drake would explore in his music is what Blackness even means for him as 1) a Canadian; 2) a biracial person; and 3) an immigrant that's fascinated with foreign black cultures (i.e. the Caribbean, the US, the UK, West Africa). That would actually be pretty interesting.

A good album would be Anderson .Paak's Malibu; Boogie's The Reach or Illadelph Halflife by The Roots.

I see Swizz Beatz and I think to myself, "there's a man that needs to get punched in the neck".

Why do people think that's a good album?

"The other thing that kills me is he talks about OVO and Toronto so.much and has not put one rapper on. Where is his Spliff star where is his bleek?"

Oh, Drake is derivative as fuck but as the guy that brought that particular schtick to the mainstream, he gets the credit for altering popular music. There are enough people in his mold that you could legitimately have a Post-Drake subgenre.

I'm no Drake fan, but I'd find it hard to argue that he isn't a hip-hop legend at this point. For better or for worse, he has done things stylistically that have forever altered the genre.

"…Drake’s quickness to hang 10 on the latest wave is becoming less tolerable as his star grows."

My favorite long opening sequence is from Lupin the Third: The Woman Called Fujiko Mine. Check it out if you've got a couple of minutes to kill.

One of the things I appreciate about this show is how it consistently manages to be goofy, yet retain a high level of creepiness. That vampire licking Renfield's face was pretty camp, but it didn't diminish the menace in the scene. Unfortunately, I'm never going to be able to take the character of Dracula 100%

Scrooge is Donald's maternal uncle, so he'd be the brother of Huey, Dewey & Louie's grandmother.

Seriously, Michael Beach has really been let down by his character.

Thing is, Clarke being so sympathetic to Bellamy actually doesn't bother me because I kind of get why she would say those things to him. It's because Clarke is, herself, a mass murderer. Yes, the context surrounding their actions were different but, when you get right down to it, they're both responsible for killing

Is witch-hazel something I can find easily- like, I can go to Target and pick some up? Or do you have to go to an actual hair-care shop? I don't shave my head, but I do shape up my face and I'm all for ditching alcohol.
