felt sad at seeing her judge that awful choir competition thing on the BBC (since cancelled?) but hey gotta pay the bills

oof cringey video tho

solid jam

by all accounts Nas was a terrible husband and his story of their relationship on "Bye Baby" is probably a load of bullshit, but this image stuck with me:

You screaming at the racist cops in Miami was probably
The highlight of my life

https://pitchfork.com/news/kelis-says-she-wasnt-told-beyonce-sampled-her-on-renaissance/

“Milkshake” is interpolated on Beyonce's “Energy.” When she heard the song was sampled, Kelis likened it to “theft.” She is not listed as one of the producers, composers, or lyricists on the sampled song and has previously discussed the terms of her early contract.

It's the delivery of the lines "On stage, rockin', I'm star crazy, Cocoa flow like 1980's" using the flow from the Milkshake hook that's in question? used to be a commonplace and benign thing to make references like that

maybe I'm not hearing it right

Kelis thinks she should have gotten a songwriting credit for "Milkshake" long ago, but acknowledges she signed a contract then. So since there's a credit on the B album to the Neptunes for the "interpolation" she thinks she should have been credited as well. But yeah that used to be commonplace to make melodic references like that.

Aah now I get it, thx

So she's dating Bill Murray. Huh.

Um…

Great revive?

I don’t know what famous people do.

Pondering it too much, that way lies madness.

Not that this will stop me.

I don't have any actual opinion about Kelis dating Bill Murray, I just thought it was interesting in a "pictures of famous people you wouldn't expect together" way.

Right, of course.

Guess we might as well actually see a picture.
