I partnered with @KindeaLabs to make an animated video to explain the concept of #Blacksound from my book. I hope that the video allows people to grasp the complexity of the concept in its simplest terms before reading the book: ucpress.edu/book/978052039… @ucpress
I attended a really dope conversation tonight at @nyucbvc titled “Black Rest in Black Music” featuring Jake Goldbas, Dr. @fredaraMareva Hadley, @richmedina, and Dr. Mark Anthony Neal moderated by Dr. Kwami Coleman.
Happy Pubday to my baby, #Blacksound 🖤🥹 3.5.24 @ucpress UCPSAVE30 (code): ucpress.edu/book/978052039…
It was a beautiful night. Stay tuned for the video release on May 10, 1934…that day is the 90th anniversary of the original concert.

I’m so tired of seeing these online articles that neglect to list @SusayeGreene as co-writer (and lyrics writer) of Michael Jackson’s “I Can’t Help It” (1979), that I created a special gif. Share it with all your friends.

7K Followers 4K Following college faculty, armchair a & r, curiosity hustler, crit-rhet & hip-hop. the username is not sexual . slang +Houdini . I'm not weird i'm just worldly...Continuing my visit through the 90s Blk new wave I revisited 95's Waiting to Exhale which I hadn't seen in awhile and it didn't lose any of its power as a tear jerker, but the prevailing thought I'm this revisit was Angela Bassett, Angela Bassett Angela Bassett... 🧵
I do wanna give these male actors credit for being hilariously true to form, proving niggas ain't changed. You can see this dumbass on Twitter daily, he's just not on your lawn. Its a brilliant performance by Mykelti worthy of its memage and cultural popularity...😭
In the doing what waiting to excel does is culturally definitively show that nothing is new under the Sun and that what is going on in our time is not special... What BW are saying is not special or new. All these complaints regularly appearing in supposed "discourse" today
Just in case that scene didn't do it for you right after that another comes and the fact that ultimately this movie ends with the bulk of the women not having relationships with men and just enjoying sisterhood this movie ends up being extremely prescient of what was to come...
But even still it does a wonderful job of putting in a concrete exactly why it's so difficult for black women to find partners, what a lot of these supposedly good men are, and to tht point, I think Whitney's Arc is the best representation of that...
One of its strongest points of being that it is still so relevant today as to truly presenting women's lack of options I wish the men had even more dimensions not to make them better people but to really get into how women are tricked into these relationships...
Despite some flaws as I previously mentioned the run time or the lack of time to truly flesh out some of these women stories, the lack of fullnes for the men while also providing cover on occasion, a bit of homophobia, this is a strong film...
@JoyBella80 mentioned it, but there are so many great decisions by Forest Whitaker from the moment I just showed to the famous Bassett moment she mentioned, to this beautiful bit of sensual poetry with Whitney
Also why was everyone's walk so MEAN. Loretta turned that street into a certified catwalk... I totally got Gregory's reaction
Onto the rest of the movie because there is a rest lol the film's performances do somewhat reflect who it's seasoned performers are. Loretta Devine was also very impressive, this particular moment was brilliant!!!
Bassett not being nominated for this is not only a sign of the Oscar's long-standing ineptitude at their one job, (HEAT anyone?) but also indicative of how disinterested they are in the depth of blk ppl's inner lives unless depicted thru the funnel of their tiny imaginations.
"I thought this was supposed to be a party" Absolutely broke me and again it's representative of precisely what I mean when I say it's Angela who is providing the layers it's doesn't work anywhere near as well without these incredibly articulate depictions of emotional depth...
This scene is another one of the sort of ninth wonders of this performance the way she just races through these different emotions and how she presents them. The cut and throw of her hair, the laser eyes, the vulnerability after, the quiet "Thank you".... rewind rewind rewind...
This gif has it in HD. It's something she does in all of her smoking scenes in this pretty much, but licking her lips here....well...let's just say it's devastatingly 🥵
Them theres just the way she smokes in general each one suggesting her mood, and some just pure art...
The walk away is one of the all time great walkways in movies and the last little wave of the hand...🤌🏿
