KENDRICK LAMAR. I mean, YO…. Some will have to watch that halftime performance multiple times to understand what he just did on the #SuperBowl stage. Messaging and storytelling in every form, and a direct response to where America is right now.

@Ledisi just sang the Black National Anthem like she was singing it for all 125 years of that song’s existence. Those who understand, understand. Just WOW. I needed and felt that performance. #SuperBowl

Rest in peace DR. JERRY WARD. Poet, scholar, intellectual giant, long-time college professor, mentor to many younger writers, including me. And beautiful protector of Black American Southern culture. Google him, please, hear his voice, read his work, he was a literary master.

BOB MARLEY would have been 80-years-young today, FEB 6. He died at age 36 back in 1981. But his soul and his music and his poetry are with us forever, and all needed more than ever.

KENDRICK LAMAR just won Song of The Year and Record of The Year for “Not Like Us” at the #Grammys for a hip-hop dis record that was an instant classic and culture shifter. Talk about momentum going into next week’s Super Bowl halftime for him.

@beyonce YES YES YES! Finally! Album of The Year. She should have several of these. Very happy for her! #Grammys

I cannot understand a single word The Weeknd is singing nor what the rapper rapped. Anyone? #Grammys

DOECHII!!!! That was an incredible speech! Best Rap Album, only third woman ever to win in that category after Lauryn Hill and Cardi B, since 1989. We need to change that reality but so happy for her. #Grammys #Sisters

I’m still on high from first day of 7-day run of my film, WHEN WE FREE THE WORLD. It is a deep dive about manhood in America, about America. It is at AMC EMPIRE 25 in New York City and AMC RIVER EAST in Chicago. Asking all who can to see it. TRAILER:

My wife/film co-producer and I were at screening at AMC Theatres in New York. First time ever seeing our film in a movie theater. UNBELIEVABLE FEELING. And amazing convo with audience after. WHEN WE FREE THE WORLD runs for 1 week in NYC and Chicago, at AMC. Please spread word.

Just spent some time with my mother. Had to get her a new land line. She does have cellphone, but needs her home phone too. Had to have long talk with her about predator calls, that she has to stop talking with these folks trying to get her personal info, as they prey on elders.

EVERYONE! TODAY is day my first film as director, WHEN WE FREE THE WORLD, starts one-week run at AMC Theatres in New York and Chicago. HUMBLED. 6 years in making. Please see it, spread word. Labor of love, about manhood, about America. I will be at 7pm show tonight IN NEW YORK.
