I’ve never looked forward to the Met Gala. Honestly, I usually forget it’s a thing until after the event has taken place. This year though…

Maaaan listen, I’m quite excited about this year. This year’s theme is Superfine: Tailoring Black Style. They have to get this right. Everyone better come correct and due this theme every bit of the justice it deserves.

With Pharrell Williams, Lewis Hamilton, A$AP Rocky, and Colman Domingo being co-chairs, as well as, Doechii André 3000, Simone Biles, Regina King, Spike Lee, Audra McDonald, Angel Reese, Tyla, and Usher being host committee members I expect great things.

As designers this is right up Thom Browne’s & Tom Ford’s alley and with Morehouse alum, James M. Jeter, being a creative director at Ralph Lauren I would hope these designers will show up and show out.

The Cry of Jazz - YouTube

""The Cry of Jazz" is a 34-minute, black-and-white short subject that is now recognized as an early and influential example of African-American independent filmmaking. Director Ed Bland, with the help of more than 60 volunteer crew members, intercuts scenes of life in Chicago's black neighborhoods with dramatic scenes of dialogue between blacks and whites".

Woke up checked my phone and thinking to myself “did Derrick Rose just retire on Instagram?”

Still in disbelief.

You already know I got a new D Rose coming ASAP
