Teachers teach and do the world good Kings just rule and most are never understood If you were to rule or govern a certain industry All inside this room right now would be in misery No one would get along nor sing a song Cause everyone'd be singing for the king, am I wrong?! -KRS 1 #NOKINGS

Reading Jonathan Rose's 'The Intellectual Life of the British Working Classes' and some of the earliest Labour MP's encouraging the working classes to read deeply and widely to strengthen themselves against ruling class exploitation, is very different to today's sorry batch shilling for A.I.

Sly Stone is foundational to hiphop. At the Black Star show in Sydney Australia, Yasiin Bey and I paid tribute to Sly by doing a rendition of one of the best songs to sample him, Because I Got It Like That by the Jungle Brothers. Rest in peace Sly! #hiphopsky

Sorry to hear Brian Wilson has died. The Beach Boys were the soundtrack of my summers, from "Surfin' Safari" on.

The maestro has passed - the man was a open heart with two legs - with an ear that heard the angels. Quite literally. Love and Mercy for you and yours tonight . RIP Brian. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/11/a...

“Sly invented the alphabet for which most of pop and R&B or Black music will write from for, you know, the next 60 years. Like, we're still writing from his dictionary to this day,” - @questlove.bsky.social Rest in peace Sly Stone.
