In 1981, Funky 4 + 1 performed on SNL in one of the first nationally televised rap performances. MC Sha-Rock was pregnant at the time & the crew saw this as a threat to their success, revealing hip-hop’s long-standing double standards.

Three Democratic lawmakers — @brotherjones_, @Justinjpearson and @VoteGloriaJ — have been removed from their committee assignments. WPLN's @BlaiseGainey reports this comes after they took part in gun control protests on the Tennessee House floor last week. wpln.org/post/republicans-ba…

Why did Angel Reese's "you can't see me" wave on the court cause such a stir yesterday?
Context is key. Here's what to know about the gesture itself and where we've seen it before.

I loved this conversation with @JenSeniorNY. Her new book - On Grief is out this week. It's based on her award winning 2021 piece in The Atlantic. It's a beautiful story about loss, memory and forgiveness.

News: Judge Davis rejects Fox's motions to dismiss Dominion's defamation suit ahead of trial.
Noteworthy: Davis ruled that Dominion has proven the *falsity* of statements made on Fox News.
Whatever else, Dominion can say a court of law found these claims on Fox to be false.

Friendship is not the backdrop for boygenius’ ‘the record,’ or merely context for its creation. It's why and how this album was made, writes @mrsslrss. npr.org/2023/03/31/116673890…

What happens when the male gaze goes corporate? @iamdoechii wanted to use nudity in her “Crazy” video to call out and subvert the male gaze.

Now with audio! As heard on @MorningEdition:
The rapper Afroman turned lemons into "Lemon Pound Cake" when he made music videos out of a police raid on his home. Then the cops sued him.
He's now planning a lawsuit of his own — and another album.

In 2022, inflation in the U.S. was the highest it’s been since the 80s. But we’ve been there before. Over the years, politicians have fought it w/ everything from price controls to shocking interest rates.

1/ These first two episodes of NPR’s Taking Cover podcast are… kind of a trip. I spent a lot of late nights talking with the guys from Echo 2/1, hearing their stories. What happened on that day – April 12th, 2004? The memories are raw. Painful. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas…

In hip-hop, image is everything. And for women, having a baddie body has become the cost of entry. How do @iamdoechii @imbabytate @dreamdoll deal with their bodies being policed?

The great mime, Marcel Marceau, was born 100 years ago this week. When he passed away in 2007, the world commemorated him, appropriately enough, with a moment of silence...and I offered this appreciation. @npratc
