Continuing last nights convo about preserving some of black culture… I’d definitely put r&b on the list but without the typical Blackistan struggle themes in the music. And yes it’s possible because there are less mainstream artists (Aqyila, Tanerélle, Syd, Nao, etc.) who are already doing it. I would add jazz music on the “preservation list” as well. 

Anyway, this is a good article! I’m happy these ladies are getting their flowers and that r&b is making a mainstream comeback because the girls never stopped making the music. I’m also glad that more black women are reclaiming pop music and making waves in other genres. We are NOT beholden to one style of music. Are there any female artists you would add to or take away from this list? Comment below. TTYS🎵

Some of you are in your feelings about my commentary on Kendrick in the last livestream and it’s ridiculous. Any logical person can see that this beef made Kendrick more culturally relevant and crossover appealing than he’s ever been (despite his previous awards) and that’s all I was saying. I still question if he can reach this level of popularity again on his own and I still like more of Drakes music despite Kendrick being the better rapper. I don’t stan either of these men and none of what I said should be considered controversial lol. 

Some of you think I don’t know the difference between you simply preferring Kendrick’s music over Drake vs you trying to protect him and his legacy. It’s obvious that many black women drank the “for da culture” koolaid and think that Not Like Us is a reclamation of blackness for the whole community when it’s only for black men in hip hop. Sorry but black men throwing a biracial man out of hip hop will not trickle down to black women and they will continue to elevate Drakes female counterparts. Any pandering they do to us doesn’t count.

It’s always been most beneficial for black women to stay out of this beef and refuse to side with either party and especially the black men who’ve undermined our phenotype all of these years. Instead, you continue to defend and assist them in protecting and elevating their image when they have never done that for us. Caping for men in a music genre that has literally abused and degraded us for 50 years is stupid. 

This is why I highlighted the mammying last night cause that’s exactly what it is. I’ve been there too so I know the conditioning is hard to shake but it’s time to do better ladies. Enjoy whatever music you want but at the very least, do so without publicly caping for your opps and keep your dignity. You look foolish and everybody sees it but you. BURN THE CAPE!

I’m not sure if some of you are new here but this is not a pro-black-save-a-hotep channel. I don’t cape for or give dwight man racism white supremacy excuses for a group of men who don’t give them to me. BURN THE CAPE🔥🔥🔥 

NEW drop on my second channel,  ‪@FemStrategy‬ ! I’ll be doing several character analyses (of all races) and sharing strategies on how to apply archetypes in the real world. If you enjoy this kind of content, make sure to subscribe and join my mailing list. Enjoy, and TTYS!🌹 

I debated on if I wanted to share this but I think it’s important to be transparent. If you’ve ever wondered why I stopped posting corrective promotion videos, or don’t use a lot of clips in my content, this is a big reason why. 

I never know when a black woman I promote or do commentary on is going to get upset about my opinions and/or decide they no longer want to be featured and copyright strike my channel. It’s happened so many times over the years and I’m tired of putting my channel at risk and being penalized for helping black women. I could understand if I was misusing or misrepresenting the content but that isn’t the case. 

FYI, I completely understand any person or brand that follows the legal protocol to protect their content and I also get not wanting to be publicly associated with my controversial views. However, if you want your photos/videos removed, just send me an email and I will comply. Trust that I will never keep anyone on my channel who doesn’t want to be nor am I that pressed for views. 

I hated to do it but all of my videos containing potential copyrighted material (without my added commentary) have been removed. It’s just too risky to keep them up at this point. I apologize for the inconvenience. Have a great day and TTYS🌹 

PSA: Thank you all for correcting me in the comments. Apparently, Twitch Boss’s brother and other male family members spoke out against Allison. However, that still doesn’t change that black women collectively were more outraged and vocal about this (as usual). 

Even on YouTube, I’ve seen more prominent black woman content creators condemn Allison more than male creators. The usual suspects of the manosphere are SILENT. Same with larger influencers on X and IG who spoke out - mostly black women. So my points still stands. I know many of you black women want an equal amount of black men to care about this but based on my observation, that’s not the case. Sorry🤷🏾‍♀️

I also don’t care that a minority of white women and men are condemning Allison. They should because those are her people. My opinion hasn’t changed; this STILL isn’t the black woman’s fight. Thanks for listening🌹
