147 - Pressure Cooker
There were definitely a pressure cooker of events in this weeks news, good and bad! Twelve songs off the #1 album Invasion of Privacy and Bruno Mars collaboration "Finesse" currently hold spots on the Hot 100. This means Cardi passed Beyoncé for the most simultaneous songs on the tally by a solo female act. Drake holds the overall record with 24 entries, set in 2017. Cardi's got it on LOCK these days, congrats again! Kendrick Lamar has won a Pulitzer Prize for his album Damn. The award is given "for distinguished musical composition by an American." Kendrick's 2017 album becomes the first hip-hop record to win a Pulitzer Prize...DAMN! Talk about a pressure cooker! The pressure was on for Starbucks to do something in response to the incident last week where two Black patrons were asked to leave a Philadelphia location and were promptly arrested by police. With outrage and calls for boycotts high and low, the company will temporarily shut down 8.000 of its stores for racial bias training sessions nationwide. This has got to change FAST! Leave it to Beyoncé. The pop singer’s Coachella performance over the weekend has reportedly set a YouTube livestreaming record. Beyoncé's performance is set to generated 458,000 simultaneous viewers — the most ever for a single Coachella performance since YouTube began streaming the Indio, California festival in 2010. This is why she is and probably will be the Queen of entertainment...period. The pressure is surely also on DC cops! On Friday morning, on the steps of the National Museum of African American History and Culture, Washington, D.C., Mayor Muriel E. Bowser announced that D.C. police officers will be required to take a critical-race-theory program. The training will take a day and comprises three parts: “a three-hour lecture on black history, a guided tour through the National Museum of African American History and Culture and a lesson on U Street, where officers examine police brutality.” The segment topic, as always, was one to make you think a little harder. What to do if your sex drive is higher than his/hers? Let us know what you think?? Until next Wednesday...
