What People Are Saying

Renina continues to
challenge herself and
give these types of
conversations a platform
away from the classroom.
i also think she grapples
with a lot of ideas and
i love that she?s not afraid
to put that work on display.
i?m thankful.

I’ve read your blog for a long time and this is
my first time responding. You give me reason
to think and improve upon myself and others.
Thank you.

I treat the booth like a crack spot/ im in an out

When Slay give me the green light/ Imma start callin’ you nigg@’s out
I would wet ‘em up/ but I’ll live it out
because any time you leave a DRY SNITCH wet / then cops RINSE ‘EM OUT/.

Kelefa, at the Times, is waxing about Papoose’s show at S.O.B’s last week. Is that the one you went to Jase?

Its okay Brooklyn. Just b/c fam can’t put on a dope show, YET, does not mean he ain’t nice.

Because trust. He is.

Great performers are cultivated, not born.

Dude in the red hoodie look like he just had some greens w/ rice and peas.

What is the point of writing about an artist like Papoose in the Times.

Exposure?

Can it plausibly help him get a deal?

Do (the majority of) Times readers car about (a) Papoose?
Is that even a requirement for articles? (*That one is rhetorical)

    I was in the building, and I thought he tore it down. What constitutes a good show is all relative.

    @SK^

    this dude/chick kelefa sana is a major hater. he shat on MOS DEF’s last CD too. he doesn’t get it, but then again he writes for the NYTimes and I have yet to see them have the right angle for anything that colored folks like.

    @Bill
    Kelefa is def gonna take the middle ground when it comes to Hip Hop.

    @ Bill
    No one liked the last mos d, except for me and and you and like 5 japanese kids that love hip hop.

    It is what it is mayne.
