You know that feeling, when you're reading a book, and there's a line in it so awesome you re-read it again and again; because you love it so much you just want to reach out and touch it, but the best you can do is read it until you can almost taste it on your tongue?

Nas - Daughters

Yesterday, for the memorial weekend, Nas released the video for his newest track Daughters. Hip hop heads might say that Nas is back, back to sharing reflective and relate able lyrics. Not that he ever stopped, but that signature bravado in his lyrics complimented by his flow was lost. He is back and we want more.

CN: Advice for success and achieving your goals?

“Well, I’m always so reluctant to give advice because the single most important thing about success is that everybody’s pathway is so different. I hate the idea that everybody has to march in line for that one thing… that there is only one way to get there. It feels inauthentic. If I had to give one piece of advice, it’s that you have to be really comfortable with failing. Because the only possibility of reaching whatever success means for you, will require taking risks. Sometimes those risks are going to pay off and be great, and other times they are going to be really spectacularly painful, and sometimes public failures. And also sometimes, you’ll have to deal with lots of criticism from people that you care about. It can be hard to take those really, really tough hits. You can’t always take it as, ‘oh, they’re just haters and I don’t even care’, you have to actually take them and listen to them. ‘Cause sometimes, even when somebody is hating, they’re right. It’s completely plausible that they’re hating and 50% of what they’re saying is absolutely accurate. So you have to learn to be comfortable with your own imperfections and try to figure out how to take the useful criticisms even out of the things that seem like they’re hateful”. - Melissa Harris Perry

Dear White People (movie trailer)

DEAR WHITE PEOPLE
A satire about being a Black face in a white place. DEAR WHITE PEOPLE follows the stories of four black students at an Ivy League college where a riot breaks out over a popular “African American” themed party thrown by white students. With tongue planted firmly in cheek, the film will explore racial identity in “post-racial” America while weaving a universal story of forging one’s unique path in the world.

Remember when Black movies didn’t neccesarily star a dude in a fat suit and a wig? Or have major plot twists timed to Gospel numbers for no apparent reason? No? Damn…

Well believe it or not there was a time when “Black Art-House” was a thing. When movies like Do The Right Thing, Hollywood Shuffle, and Boyz In Da Hood were breaking box office records as well as making us laugh, cry, and think in ways movies hadn’t before.

The humble producers of DEAR WHITE PEOPLE, a satire about being a black face in a white place, long to bring those days back. But we can’t do it without you!

We pieced together what resources we had to make this trailer in order to entice investors for our planned million dollar feature. Armed with this trailer and your support we plan to make this film a reality. Click here to help bring this film to theaters: http://bit.ly/DWPYoTu

I want to see this.

“On Sunday New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg went to a black church in one of the city’s most heavily policed neighborhoods to let them know ‘Stop-and-Frisk’ isn’t going anywhere.”

- Mayor Bloomberg to Black Church: ‘Stop-and-Frisk’ Is Here to Stay - COLORLINES

Wow. Just. Wow.

(via biyuti)

“Stop and frisk today, stop and frisk tomorrow, stop and frisk forever?”

Uh, Mike, that one’s got really, really bad precedents.

typical Bloomberg arrogance at work.

(via talldarkbishoujo)

So wait.

Bloomberg didn’t just release a statement to say he’s going to continue to harass Black youth, he went to where they, their families, their elders, parents, grandparents, cousins, aunts and uncles go to commune with one another to tell them he’s going to keep beating them into the ground both metaphorically and literally.

Um. NYC? Can y’all please vote this anal leakage out of office? Please? Try?

(via deliciouskaek)

Shit stain. The man is a toxic shit stain.

(via theuppitynegras)

To the church though….Where we come to worship and glorify though? The made a way out of no way, generations born, raised, baptized, dedicated, wed, prayed for, saved, and buried in church. The church that meant freedom and safety to many black american’s church. The symbolic how we got over church.

O_o I say it all the time, the pastor at my home church would tell us, The devil comes to church on Sunday and sits on the first pew, usher board, choir, etc.

In this case. The devil showed up to remind black folks, especially black folks of faith, that white people in power will attempt to make you pay for their need to enforce the lack of what they feel the have.

(via queennubian)

what a fucking disgusting sack of shit

(via dumbthingswhitepplsay)

“Stop and frisk today, stop and frisk tomorrow, stop and frisk forever?”

Uh, Mike? That one’s got really, really bad precedents.

(via holzmantweed)

That is fucked up to go to the church to announce that. FUCKED UP.

(via therotund)

Lol oh Mike. Consider this to be your last term you punk bitch.

(via crankycritic)

Oh.. My God…..

No.

No.

HELL NO.

Fuck you Bloomberg. Fuck you and your racist policy and FUCK YOU.

7 Reasons We Feel So Old Yet We’re Not Because We’re Twenty-Somethings

1. Because we suddenly have all this money to pay back.

Back when we were just taking out student loans with impunity and saying, “Mmm, don’t mind if I do!” to every misguided credit card offer that…
