You people are not smart. Ignoring racism doesn’t make you less racist. You are a part of the problem and you know it.
Ignoring cancer doesn’t keep the cancer from spreading. Remove the malignant stupidity from your brain.

#Music nerd bonus since I’m hot right now: This song is produced by the legend Quincy Jones and performed by the iconic Pointer Sisters. Thats why it’s a permanent banger.
@chigh
Heavy D: The entire discography. His work and contributions are vastly underrated. Nothin But Love is the definitive album for me.
De La Soul: The older brothers and sisters always liked the DAISY era, but Stakes Is High is the one that actually changed my life
A Tribe Called Quest: Midnight Marauders (I’m more of a love movement/dilla era ATCQ-type girl but you can choose)
Obviously Dr. Dre’s Chronics, as a Los Angeles native, albeit a very conflicting time for me.
+
@chigh and above all else for me -
Missy Elliott: Supa Dupa Fly.
Frankly, in my very musically educated, “I was there” firsthand experience. The most legendary, most influential producers, musicians and performers in Hip Hop. Possibly all time. A true Sound Architect. I will pick Missy’s impact on sound production and the overall (positive) culture of hip hop over others like Dr. Dre’s or RZA. Not up for debate.
I’m going to stop here because no one cares. Thanks for listening.
@chigh
Girl party:
Salt ‘n Pepa: Whole discography. A lot of the “sex positive” hip hop that Megan can represent started with these women telling their fans to practice safe sex in the 80s
JJ Fad: SuperSonic (highly underrated, still touring til this day)
As always, The Holy Trinity of (MC) Lyte + (Queen) Latifah and Lauryn (Hill).
Might have to add Left Eye to that
Lil’ Kim: Hard Core. While some blame her for the current optics in women’s #hiphop, I will not. Naked Truth also. +
@chigh Everyone obviously know Wu Tang for whatever reason. Dig deeper with bands like Black Moon, Group Home, Main Source (Breaking Atoms), Pete Rock and CL Smooth.
Everyone knows about Ice Cube, but dig into his work with Da Lynch Mob, Domino’s production and the early 90s Oakland sound, Del the Funky Homosapien, Hieroglyphs and the Pharcyde please
Also connected; Digital Underground, essentially the launch point for Tupac’s entire career.
Whew these 90s names are exhausing. +
Hi.
So I know the #hiphop section of mastodon is pretty dry, so I’ll throw out some of my favorite options in a somewhat chronological order.
LL Cool J: Radio
Beastie Boys: Licensed to Ill
Whodini: Escape (one of many who started the heavy 808 drum trend [on the song friends] we still hear today)
Rakim: Paid in Full
Guru/GangStarr: No More Mr
Public Enemy: It Takes A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back
Ultramagnetic MCs: Critical beatdown
+
I don’t mean to be short tempered, but here’s what the reality is.
We are not at risk of anything if white people don’t vote for a nazi. Period. I don’t want a whole long paragraph. I don’t even want to talk about it. I said what I said. Biden beat Trump by 7 million votes with the electoral, Hillary by 3 million. Numbers talk, fuck your thoughts.
Again. STOP SAYING THIS MAN CANT WIN. YOUR SPEAKING FASCISM INTO EXISTENCE. STOP. ITS WEIRD.

@oldguycrusty @jacobdewitz no offense, but I am not blue and that is also not the point. These are the only colors and facts I need you to focus on.
White people. Do not vote for a nazi. Also. Stop making excuses to go vote for a nazi. The end.
@raven667 @inthehands it’s not that I’m AGAINST packing. I just feel like in the future, when people like (Anita Hill told you so) show up, they can be taken out when they start to do… what he’s been doing.
@inthehands I hope it’s not packing. I hope it’s the ability to remove.
@inthehands I tell the kids “the hardest drops only happen when there’s a bar of rest” and their little minds are blown lmaooooo
…laying down is amazing.
Just… avoiding upright gravity, laying down and giving up. Beautiful.
Britain voting right
Iran looks like it’s making progress
France waking up….
It really looks like media was attempting to manufacture nazi consent like Noam Chomsky said.
OMFG
IS THIS REAL?
#IRAN LETS GOOOOOO
I’m just trying to figure out who’s gonna come in and save America from doing an America inside of America. For like, the 3rd time in the last 200 years.

@inthehands resting in a world that demands my free labor is a form of resistance.
