  1. Things are getting worse, with the combo of summer and the increase in cases out there, people are mad, and acting out. I walk for my own fitness, today I was crossing a street and was well out of the way of anyone, yet this white guy blows his horn, and for the first time I thought to myself my safety could be in danger from some fool out here. Not to make any long story, all I'm saying is this race deal in the country is like a powder keg with a lit fuse, and it's going to explode.
  2. this pic just appeared under the news section on Google but there wasn't any story attached, I only put it here because its one of a very few HD pics from this time frame.
  3. as it fucking was, the shit surprised me cause it was in the hood and they gave no fucks about pumping up Janet LOUD@!!!!
  4. haven't seen it, BUT I do have Hamilton to watch and I have not seen Parasite which I heard was great so I have a lot to catch up on. trying to read books since I aint doing shit else
  5. the summer is popping if you out here in dez streets I just heard GTIG LOUD as hell bumping from a truck with the windows down driving by as I walked back from the store, I mean PUMPA BOO! PUMPA!.........dat shit was LOUD!!
  6. chile please dont do it Buckie I dont know if you recall seeing the pic of her in her PJs getting makeup put on but her nail color matched her PJs that woman has her nails done like we sneeze, it just happens
  7. I wish the VR tour had a great clean up too
  8. we cycling here too, I see all kinds of stuff now, I dont know what those one wheel skate boards are, but I have seen a ton of people on them, they move fast as hell
  9. Janet likes her driving in her SUV, I think back in the day she drove a Jeep in Cali we forget Janet is a Tomboy at heart, people enjoy everyday "things" like a good drive, I sometimes enjoy driving my Jeep it's nice
  10. I just saw this pic online but did not know it was this recent. I wonder how her shoes are made if they take regular kicks and just add two inches
  11. thank you so much for cleaning the show up, I hadn't watched it in sooooo long it's nice to see that show again
  12. I did some research and Ozark (yes it exists) is a known hub for White Supremacists, the area is accurately portrayed
  13. Ozark got better, it was leaning towards some redneck bullshit, but they got better, and the show is really good too so, I watched all of it. I needed a Black character or even a Mexican on the show that was more than "furniture" in a room of white folks
  14. It is real,, it started all about old people, and survival rates being over 90%, until I lost my aunt. Covid-19 is real and they dont have the answers, which, aside from the fact its not leaving, makes things scary. Glad you recovered heffa I was in here conjuring your spirit telling the drive in concerts to turn on your high beams for this next song..... Don't worry I'm cray
  15. As a long time hard core fan, I can try to tell you somethings as I believe them to be and if you add them up it all makes sense: 1. Janet is a mother, that's her first priority. 2. Janet's a great legend act and she's done more than many will ever do, having said that her best days are past her now. 3. Some Janet fans truly expect these long drawn out album promo campaigns with 4 music videos and singles. Refer to #2 4. Did you know there was a global pandemic? That thing stopped a ton of projects in progress. For example, Janet was making the rounds early this year, she did The View, Jimmy Fallon, announced a new tour with a new album. I don't think Janet's NOT doing when she can be bothered. Speaking of when you've done as much as Janet you've earned the right to do it on your time. 5. So much got cancelled and pushed back, I saw Wonder Woman promo Doritos bags at Walmart, problem there is WW2 didn't happen yesterday I was at the store and looked at the Sunday paper, it was thin as hell, Sunday Newspapers are usually bulky with ads etc. I was told by someone they dont even have a TV guide in them anymore because new shows aren't being rolled out.
  16. I'm not a hater, a gave her a good minute and thought at first I might enjoy it, so its not hating nor not giving her a shot, it's just I found myself towards the end ready for it to end. IMO
  17. it sounds more like a B-side thats not polished well, it certainly is NOT single worthy, the quality is just not high enough
  18. I was speaking musically the song Pillow Talk has some Island Life vibes in sound. As for the vocals, I felt "Pillow Talk" could use a vocal arrangement akin to that on "Island Life"
  19. the vocals are not doing it for me either, the music sounds good though. It reminds me a bit of "Island Life", a song that echoes the kind of vocals that Janet shine on with a mid-tempo song like "Pillow Talk" which I've never heard of until now come through Questlove
  20. it's too much, everyone with an opinion feels like its cool to say whatever the hell they feel like saying, regardless of how it affects others. I can only do social media so long now adding that to the news. People say and do ignorant things
  21. I LOVE me some Madonna, and I've played plenty of her lately on my nostalgia 80's binge BUT watching Madge "dance" is cring worthy to me, and for the exact same reason you mentioned, Janet makes dancing look flawless, well executed in timing and attitude, and effortless get dat ish Janet so watching other pop dance chicks is not the biz Well Gaga has a top 10 hit on her hands, although it fell 4 spots from its previous position on the BB Hot 100
  22. as a man of color, many Black and Brown folks know who our allies are and perhaps more importantly who they are not. I get this impression that you feel the burden of carrying this "struggle" on your own shoulders, in that I believe that is not a "struggle" for you to carry. Why should you bare the cross of humanities sins? You are not responsible for the actions of those who happen to look like you. It's greatly appreciated that you voice concern, and in some ways are part of a new "normal" wherein white folks are speaking up in this moment. We all, no matter who we are, have to take care of ourselves, because if you don't you're not good to anyone. Take care of you, racism was here before you came and it'll be here after. That said, As others here have voiced, take in only so much of the news, because while its disheartening I believe new cycles can be toxic and desensitizing. Take some time to evaluate what your thoughts are regarding what's occurring and formulate your own ideas about the realities we are in. For example, I cannot recall a white officer ever going to prison for having killed a person of color, not one. So I dont expect much, because the record has given me too many "I know how this movie ends" to warrant expectations. I will say, interestingly, that I have become acutely aware, even more lately, that I'm a black man. Being a person of color comes with that state of existence an entire litany of "this is just how it will be for you" and we learn to work around or circumvent "unfairness" I must admit even leaving my place to go for a walk to think and clear my head, again, I am very aware of my surroundings, who is present, and my all important go to: ARE THERE OTHER BLACK PEOPLE AROUND!!!!....to a marked degree my anxiety decreases when I see my people, there's strength in numbers, I also fear for my own safety in the event someone ignorant decides I'm the one to steal on in that moment.
