I am a college professor.
I have never, never seen psychological troubles among students like I saw in 2020-2022.
No, I can’t quantify it. But I can tell you it’s not just things that standardized test scores can track.
It was BRUTAL.
What I'm listening to today: "Star Cry", Foxy Brown
The Foxy Brown/Lil Kim archetype (confident, sexually liberated, sharp-edged) kinda disappeared from rap around 2000. But then there's the 2008 album Foxy Brown released after she got out of prison, with this "Remember me?" track.
It's got this fascinating sequence where she sort of de-rapper-ifies, takes all her jewelry off and platinum records off the wall and ends by introducing herself with "Hi, my name's Inga".
