Exactly. I had to re-watch a few YouTube clips to refamiliarize myself. I so wish I lived in a city with a drag scene so I could experience the culture first hand.

"Shade is, I don't tell you you're ugly but I don't have to tell you because you know you're ugly. And that's shade."

Ha! That is true. I can't stand them, but I grew up in Nebraska and didn't try soul food until I was a teenager. Too late then!

Ha! Cool.

Thanks! I quickly read his article, and it's great. A much more international perspective on The Nod.

I edit more when I'm in Chicago and New York for sure, but I'll still throw a few in just to let people know Nebraska-born represents the diaspora.

My kids are 3/4 white and they finally asked me why I always give a head nod to other black people on the street even if I don't know them. It will take them years to really understand why.

Perfect, thank you.

Can we agree to disagree?

Well, let's be clear. Jimmy Fallon doesn't have the power to ruin hip hop, even if he wanted to. He's just cheapening it a little for money and laughs, and annoying me in the process.

No kidding. But the article was about Fallon, not Kanye.

One of many.

I wasn't trying to make it broader at all. I was just calling out Fallon and that's it.

Well, in fairness, if you didn't watch the clip, then I'd have to say that you're all up in the Kool-Aid and don't know the flavor.

LOL. Your comment makes no sense whatsoever. It's laughable.

That's true, but who cares? I'm calling out Jimmy Fallon as wack, because he was the subject of the article.

Since he's getting paid to legitimize Fallon, that wouldn't surprise me.

That's cool. I know he's trying his best. And most people are like you - they think the shit is funny.

Ha! I don't even believe in cultural appropriation, broski.

Nah, it's totally touchable. Fallon has every right to touch it; he's just consistently annoying when he tries.
