Saying a dark skin woman (Doechii) is making “Harriet Tubman” music. Saying Kendrick rapping like he trying to “free the slaves”. Claiming to be a “hip hop producer” but saying “sampling soul to make beats is some UNC shit”. Y’all getting too comfortable #blacksky #blackskyover40 #blackskyover50

What a terrible drag to wake up to the news that Jellybean Johnson, one of the all-around funkiest, coldest drummers, guitarists and songwriters of all Time—not just The Time —- is now an ancestor. Sleep well, brother—well done. #MusicSky #BlackSkyOver50

If you don't know enough about the life and legacy of the great Sam Cooke -- who was killed 61-years-ago today, the @netflix.com doc series 'Remastered: The Two Killings of Sam Cooke' is a great place to start.

Look, I’m not a Beyoncé super fan by no stretch. Some of her music is cool, but the fact that folks are getting mad at “finger guns” after a performance, but school shooters keep popping up like a herpes outbreak and no one bats a fucking eye is treacherous. #blacksky #blackskyover40 #blackskyover50
