Gita Jackson makin waves. We just ride them.
Why Black Men Love Dragonball Z
Dragon Ball Z tells the story of an underdog and outsider. In his book The Tao of Wu, the rapper Rza says the story of Dragon Ball Z, "represents the journey of the black man."

"You see it more clearly as the story goes on," he writes. "Son Goku has super powers and doesn't realize it—a head injury destroyed his memory, robbed his knowledge of self. Then one day, gets stressed beyond his limits and Hulks out into his alter ego, Super Saiyan—a n- with dreadlocks."

I'm noticing a trend with these Latin American rappers.

You take an L off the rip for having women as decoration in your videos. Then you film in Panama, but only hire light skin women?

Notice how some the other guys in his crew have dark skin. This shit is deliberate. Plenty of mestizos have darker skin than the women they chose.

I mean, that's Latin America for you when it comes to sexuality. Look at are channels and news. Galavision, Telemundo, Univision, Caracol and Televisa to name a few. The networks don't enforce it as well. Is been part of our culture for so long we are just used to it. As for not having darker skin women is very simple. That's not the type a lot of us are told as kids not to go for. You know how many times my own parents told me not to date darker women than me so her grandkids won't have bad hair? A lot of times. And a lot of people growing up in Latin America man or women will tell you that. Same story regardless of the country down there. The racism in Latin-America has been put on blast in the past few years due to a lot of Latinos being raised in other countries(Like the US)and going back to their parents country and making some noise. That happened in my Country of the Dominican Republic when they passed a stupid law saying "If you are dark skin, and cannot find a proof of birth, you be deported to Haiti. A lot of Dominicans form NYC was not having it. And went down there to address the issue as best as they can.

Watching some Black Panther interviews right now, and apparently Sounwave, Kendrick, and Ludwig Göransson (you may know him from his work with Gambino on Awaken My Love) all played a part in editing the score/music that gets featured in the film. I guess that's implying there's music in the film that's from the soundtrack (or maybe Kendrick/TDE otherwise), but it's kind of cool that they got to have input on it besides kind of doing it in isolation or being your typical movie soundtrack of this sort that features music that shows up nowhere in the film.

Goddamn all these albums that dropped over the weekend are weak. Not a great start to the year.

Aside from Gods Plan.

Goodness, this Nas Illmatic show is killing me. This is so good. NY State of Mind and The World Is Yours with an orchestra, I never thought I'd see it. The whole performance is here, I'm sure y'all can find around geolocking if it's there: https://www.pbs.org/video/nas-live-from-the-kennedy-center-classical-hip-hop-ia4ugt/

Ohh, I was hoping they'd upload it. Thanks! Will watch tonight, mhhh.

EDIT: Argh, geoblocked. My usual proxy site doesn't work either.

There's some really good tracks on this Rich Brian album. Cold and Arizona will be in rotation for a while.

I think a couple of you here make music, right? I've been listening to this album by Khruangbin, "Con Todo El Mundo", and I think there's a lot of material to work with there if you want to sample stuff. Some really good riffs there, sounding like they're straight out of India or the Middle-East. This one in particular is pretty good.
