‘Songs in the Key of Life’ is the peak of human potential (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Truth and fact are not the same thing. Most people think they are, but they are not mutually exclusive ideals or synonyms. Truth is what an individual or group believes happened. Truth is anecdotal and based on feeling and perspective. A fact is something that can be proven and cannot be refuted. When someone says it’s cold outside, that is a truth. When a weather forecast reports that it’s 45 degrees outside, that is a fact. In 1976, Stevie Wonder released “Songs in the Key of Life,” the greate
Hip Hop Museum moves projected opening date to 2027 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The highly anticipated opening of the Hip Hop Museum has been postponed yet again. The institution, dubbed “Hip-Hop’s Forever Home,” has moved its grand opening from fall 2026 to Spring 2027, as listed on its website and social media pages. As far back as July, museum CEO Rocky Bucano revealed that the opening was pushed back. Bucano told News 12 The Bronx during a walkthrough of the grounds and the building that construction was “60 percent” complete. Located on the waterfront of the Harlem Riv
Commentary: John Coltrane gave Black artists a roadmap for tracking their spiritual evolutions through music (opens the original)
Read excerpt
John Coltrane found God when he almost lost his life. In 1957, heroin and alcohol addiction had cost the legendary tenor saxophonist his gig in Miles Davis’s band, and his reputation was up in the air. He locked himself away for a week to kick his habits cold turkey, and the withdrawal nearly took him out. Had Coltrane died at 30 instead of 40, the world wouldn’t have had his classic recordings, like “Alabama” and “Naima,” Davis’s “So What,” or Duke Ellington’s “Sentimental Mood.” Meanwhile, gen
Discovering 2Pac: How to listen to his discography (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It’s been 30 years since the world lost Tupac Shakur. It took that long for his killer to be brought to justice. Three decades after Shakur was fatally shot in Las Vegas, Duane “Keffe D” Davis was convicted of first-degree murder. This is much-needed and long-overdue closure for Shakur’s family, loved ones, and fans. The year 2026 carries much significance to Shakur’s memory. Not only is it the 30th anniversary of his death and the year his murderer was brought to justice, but it is also the 30t
Action over optics: Dolly Parton’s passing garners well-earned mourning from Black community (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It gets harder and harder to define what an “ally” is for a community, particularly the Black community. For some people, it’s just a matter of someone who can mimic or genuinely, organically enjoy Black culture. For others, it’s having a non-Black person publicly speaking out against the systemic institutions and unseen barriers that have plagued Black people for centuries. There are even people who believe that allyship is mythical and unattainable. But what if there was someone who just behav
