Drake in his 30’s was emotional mature enough to discover and understand something that Jay Z still hasn’t learned in his 60’s… It’s quite sad…

Police shoot Black man having a seizure with taser—7 times.
He was putting up Halloween decorations outside his own home.
EMS was treating him after he collapsed in his yard.
"All of a sudden a cop shows up, shoves everyone out the way, and jumps on top of him," brother said.
The officer has only been identified as Sgt. Price with the Chattahoochee Police Department.
He claims he was just trying to assist EMS with a "combative individual" and encountered "physical resistance."
Dwight Jackson is the man attacked by the cop.
He says was not intentionally combative—was defenseless and only experiencing a medical emergency.
Dwight Jackson described the experience as being "more terrifying than being in the war."
Incident occurred outside his house on Chattahoochee Street in Chattahoochee, Florida.

🔴 New Investigation: The son of an Israeli secret agent, Lyor Cohen is the most important man in hip hop having owned Def Jam music & Roc-A-Fella managing some of the most famous rappers & singers. With inordinate influence over the genre, he has made his views on Israel/Palestine clear, and has used his influence to stamp out what he sees as anti-semitism in the industry.
He is now head of YouTube Music, and is working with the U.S. State Department on a new program directly modeled on the CIA’s successful Cold War-era attempts to use American artists to help force through color revolutions in targeted countries.

51 years ago today, Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody" was released as a single.

“Come On Eileen” is from Dexys Midnight Runners’ 1982 album Too-Rye-Ay. The Celtic-influenced pop classic became a massive global phenomenon, reaching #1 on both the UK Singles Chart and the US Billboard Hot 100, where it famously knocked The Rolling Stones’ "Start Me Up" off the top spot.
The track gradually accelerates throughout its running time, culminating in a frenetic finale that mirrors the escalating passion of the lyrics. To mark a drastic artistic reinvention, Rowland replaced the band's brass-driven sound with fiddles and Celtic folk influences, adopting a rural Irish aesthetic featuring denim overalls. Though initially shocking to critics, the look became permanently etched in pop culture history thanks to the song's heavy MTV rotation.

🚨 ACTOR DONDRE WHITFIELD WEIGHS IN ON THE COLIN KAEPERNICK & JAY-Z SITUATION — AND HE DIDN’T HOLD BACK! 👀
During a recent interview on the TFU podcast, actor Dondre Whitfield shared his thoughts on the ongoing Colin Kaepernick and Jay-Z situation, questioning why people are so surprised by the allegations Colin has raised.
Whitfield essentially argued that people shouldn’t find it so difficult to believe that someone who has allegedly contributed to destructive behavior in the Black community could also engage in actions that undermine a movement intended to help that same community.
🗣️ DONDRE WHITFIELD:
“You can’t believe that a person who has sold drugs to our people, which ultimately kills people, wouldn’t do something to subvert a movement which kills your people? You don’t believe that? That’s crazy.”
He went on to make a bigger point about the importance of recognizing that just because someone looks like us doesn’t necessarily mean they have our best interests at heart.
➡️ Whitfield also referenced the current political climate, arguing that people need to pay closer attention to the difference between those who look like them and those who actually live like them.
👀 This is an interesting perspective because the Colin Kaepernick and Jay-Z situation continues to raise bigger questions about trust, representation, accountability, and who actually has the community’s best interests at heart.
What do y’all think? Is Dondre Whitfield making a valid point, or is he taking Colin Kaepernick’s allegations at face value?

Antonio Bonheur admitted today to trafficking nearly $7 million in food stamp benefits through a small retail store he operated in Mattapan following an #FBI Boston investigation with @OIGUSDA & @bostonpolice. ow.ly/mLVb50YBwbY
Despite the store's limited size, inventory, & food offerings, we found its monthly Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) redemption volume outpaced full-service supermarkets. Bonheur also sold donations intended for the nonprofit Feed My Starving Children.
