There’s this white person on TikTok demanding to know what rap album deserves a Pulitzer and I just…y’all’s attitude towards rap and the way yall treat it as an art form is why Black ppl feel some type of way about white ppl every time yall open your mouths to speak on. You’re disrespectful and a good majority of the time yall don’t know what you’re talking about. You’re uneducated and racist. Yes I said racist, cuz calling classical music sophisticated in the same breath is unacceptable. Yall do this with every Black genre. Spirituals, jazz, swing, the blues, country, and rock n roll to name a few were considered “devils music” and “unsophisticated” until white ppl started doing it. Then it was the greatest thing in the freaking world. Once a colonizer always a colonizer I guess.🙄

This is why I say African music is SUPREME. Although we were stripped from our countries on the continent of Africa, stripped from our cultures, stripped from our religious traditions, and stripped from our families, we created an abundance out of nothing but our souls. The chart below stops in 1992. Think of all we have created from 1992 - present.

Song of The Day

"Mississippi Goddam" Nina Simone, 1964 "Mississippi Godamn" was written in 1963 in response to the Baptist Street Church Bombing, when the KKK bombed a church and killed 4 black young girls. It also contains references to other racist murders, like the death of Emmett Till and Medgar Evers.

She considered it to be her first Civil Rights song and her debut in the Civil Rights movement. She first performed the song live in Los Angeles, and then again in NYC in 1963. it was released in 1964. She said

"And I was beginning to get angry then. First you get depressed and then you get mad. And when these kids got bombed, I sat down and wrote this song. And it’s a very moving, violent song cause that’s how I feel about the whole thing."

This song is one of the best songs ever written.
