This is a dissertation

White girls are tearing up Taylor Swift’s new album down to the Tik Tok. I mean eviscerating old girl.



We're celebrating 52 years of hip hop this week as part of #BlackMusicSummer. The posse cut used to be an epic event, whether it was folks from the same crew or just artists who rocked with each other. What's your ultimate posse cut? (And feel free to add why)!

Aug 11th was the 52nd anniversary of Cindy Campbell's back-to-school jam, where her big brother DJ Kool Herc looped break beats using a two turntable set up. In honor of hip hop's birthday, share the song(s) you would start with if you were teaching hip hop 101. (And why??)

This week is the battle royale of music opinions: Covers vs Originals. Let's all admit up front that opinions are usually heavily subjective and based on factors including age/era... but let's argue anyway :). What cover (or covers) do you insist tops the original? (Post both!)

I did the very first #MusicSermon 8 years ago today - but I deleted the thread lol (when I first started getting takedowns I panicked!) HOWEVER, I revisited and expanded it later. The first sermon before #MusicSermon even had a name: We Danced Hard AF in the 90s

I mentioned then that my intention was to revist and expand on some of the earliest #MusicSermons, when we were a much smaller congregation with fewer members and only 140 characters. Tonight we're going to start with the VERY FIRST sermon, about how We Danced Hard AF in the 90s



Today is #MusicSermon's EIGTH ANNIVERSARY!!! 🎂🍾 It all started with a thread about how we danced hard AF in the 90s (and we'll revisit that this week), so it's only appropriate that for Wk 4 of #BlackMusicSummer, you share the songs that have you put in a whole ass work out!

Another increasingly rare feature in R&B is the monologue. Sometimes artists just had to get the words out plain; singing alone wasn't gonna do it. They needed to emphasize the point! For week 3 of #BlackMusicSummer, share songs where the monologue was the main feature.

Willie Brown showed up to my sold out San Francisco shows once & told the door man "Willie Brown on every list" (he was NOT on my list) still they gave him a free ticket. THEN after the show, he came up to my merch table, took a CD w/o paying, then shook my hand and said "You…
