Latin House and Afro House are set to explode. So let’s make sure that POC artists do too.

@alpharivelino If you believe this, I hope you never reproduce. Strong women are dope. So are nurturing loving fathers and people in solid relationships with a nuanced dynamics. Men in the “Mano sphere” are silly small-dick energy boys with outdated ideas. This shit makes you look ignorant.

@LayahHeilpern Andrew Tate inspires young men to beat and control women. He’s an admitted misogynist and abuser. What exactly did you hope to point out here?.

@RevRundown @krassenstein The fact that you’d compare Trump to Nelson Mandela is laughable. Nelson Mandela helped free an entire country from persecution. Trump snorts aderall, pays hush money to porn stars, and stiffs hard working contractors on the bills. They are NOT the same.

@ThoughtMiss @collin_ruth89 Being an employer is a business relationship. What someone does while they are not at work isn’t your business. If you’re in California an employer is actually not allowed to ask for details about this.

@JerryTurin @IDoTheThinking I’ve twice had a fun pulled on me by a cop. Once in a routine traffic stop. The other when I was simply getting out of a car to assist a motorist. Neither time had a crime been committed and I have a clean record. Your comment assumes that police are good people. They aren’t.

Hard disagree. I didn’t come to SEE a DJ perform. I came to hear them play. One of the coolest things ever was watching guys like DJ Dan completely destroy a dance floor and look cool and calm af while doing. The set is all that matters.

@man_like_lion @alpharivelino I already am. And it’s not an issue of “control.” You got shit fucked up if you think that way. Relationships aren’t a competition they’re a partnership. If you’re concerned about power dynamics in such a binary way, you probably shouldn’t be in a relationship.

@BehizyTweets Why? I should listen to him because he’s rich? How does that make any sense? He isn’t relatable. He doesn’t have the same concerns as regular people. He just wants to get richer. Wealth doesn’t make him someone worth paying attention to.

If you think Da Baby losing bookings because of what he said is part of cancel culture then you aren't an ally. Yes, he has the right to say what he wants. Festival organizers have the right to drop him too. Cancel culture is a myth. This is classic Fuck Around and Find Out.

The best dance music album was televised last night. That’s a big deal. That means alongside Bey’s name everyone heard ODESZA, Rufus Du Sol, and Bonobo. Inevitably people will be curious about the other artists and that will open their eyes to a new wold of music.
