It took me 3 days to get past this INTRO. I rewound it for DAYS because of the indescribable feeling it gave me. Took me at least 5/6 days to listen to the whole song. I cried like a baby when I heard it live. I could absolutely live here. D’Angelo forever, like seriously.

I guess this the hill I’m e-dying on. If Meg was a man, Hiss would have been considered the record to beat in this battle. Misogynoir robs us of so many of the convos we should be having, but anyway… She drew heavy blood that informed and inspired where we at now 🤷🏽‍♀️

My mom (Lukumi Yoruba priest by way of Cuba) went to Nigeria & sang praise songs to Obatala. They all said it was an ancient dialect you no longer hear except from the very old. Much of the knowledge was displaced, not lost. Our ancestors were preservative genius.

There have been cases of Nigerians going to Cuba to retrieve info/knowledge that is either scarce or does not exist in Nigeria anymore. Folks need to understand ENTIRE communities were wiped out/kidnapped and trafficked OUT of Africa ALONG WITH the knowledge those people had.

Not to be graphic but “You a mom.” Is just so funny to me because all that signals is that at one point she busted it wide, dropped it low, and left it in 😂. Why are mothers desexualized when in many cases, sex is the thing that makes you a mom? Why is everyone so puritanical?

RnB is alive & well! Unfortunately, the mainstream doesn’t reflect or promote the vast number of artists making great music across the range of RnB genres. And it’s still the source music for the most popular sounds of today. U just have to seek it out. Radio won’t do it for you.
