We always making history, except that this month the woefully ignored contributions that black people have made to this planet will be suddenly elevated.

Saba and Chance The Rapper kill it on “Logout.” From the makers of the HBO show Random Acts of Flyness, comes a short film and collaboration with 24-year-old, old man, rapper and producer Earl Sweatshirt. Poet and pioneer Pharoahe Monch “takes it personal.” Rakim, one of the greatest rappers ever, is a half century old and his sharp sword is ageless. To all the brown people out there, you are an ultra-beam.
