I See A Taylor Swift Lyric In A Fic And Weep

with the state america is in right now, music is genuinely one of the most comforting things for me. thank you kendrick lamar for making music that makes me feel heard and not insane in this fucking country

‘reincarnated’ by kendrick lamar is actually crazy. i’ll never get over kendrick’s more introspective music, even though mr. morale took a while to grow on me, i see the appeal now 😭 listening to a man address his faults is lowk therapeutic

every time i listen to wesley's theory i have an out of body experience. how did kendrick make a song so perfect? and its the OPENING TRACK to an even more perfect album? im ill

Woke up, still obsessed with Sinners.

Seriously, if you ever wanted to ask/wondered:

What and why our music means so much to the Black community, the roots from the past to the present

Why it's so deeply insulting to deal with the cultural appropriation and disrespect of Black music, given the depth of that meaning

How we use language, history, and context to determine when somebody ain't kinfolk despite pretending

How you might be allowed to forget that you're white, but we aren't allowed to forget that you're white, and that frames our interactions with you

How your allyship can fall oh so uselessly flat, no matter how well intentioned you may be, if you refuse to understand your position within the game

Why what scares you as fantastical is often a living nightmare for people of color, and how that history and social context can weave a horror story that hits close to home (I have a whole lesson on that!)

And more, go watch that movie 🙏🏾

grew up on this song

all of the tags are literally killing me 😭 theres so many

sorry yeah we queer coded your boyfriend. he’s arguing with his brash and emotionally reserved rival over something trivial for comedic effect. they have a special, vaguely suggestive bond that sets them apart. hm? oh uhh. yes they are blue and red

“has the question become darker than the answer? baby, i’ve got news.””
