Hey ya’ll hey!
Thanks for tuning into Episode 63 of Tellemtiptoldyou—"A Tribute to Dark Man X.” I had to make some scheduling adjustments to today’s episode. Originally, today was supposed to be a Midlife Musings episode with Brandon, but instead word about DMX’s death moved me to upload this episode.
Shortly after recording, I learned about the lynching of Daunte Wright at the hands of police just around the way from Derek Chauvin’s trial and it all became a bit too much for me. I contemplated scrapping this episode too and trying to get something—anything—up about Wright’s murder.
As you can see, I decided against that—not because Wright’s death doesn’t deserve and episode (because it certainly does), but because Black life has to endure even in the face of tragedy. If our work stopped everytime one of us was murdered, we’d get almost nothing done. AND, Earl Simmons (DMX) deserves his tribute. He deserves our attention—perhaps now more than ever.
So this episode remains as it was—dedicated to the life and legacy of DMX. We’ll talk about Daunte Wright next week (and we pray there is no further tragedy before that).
After you tune in, let me know what you think of this episode by leaving me a 5 star review.
Take care of each other so we can build together. #tellemtiptoldyou
