In honor of BlackMusicMonth, this week’s BopShop is dedicated to artists like JanelleMonae, Beyonce, and YG who are creating music that feels vital to the moment
's Wondaland Records collective is still as relevant and visceral as ever. A bombastic bass and biting snare set the tone for an anthem that captures the sense of angst and anguish experienced by those who protest in the name of justice for Black lives and respect of Black bodies. Forgoing a traditional song formula , Monáe and her crew repeat the names of Black Americans who have been killed by police or rogue neighborhood watchmen.
More chant than song, it calls the listener to answer the question America seems to ask the Black community repeatedly regarding matters of racialized violence and injustice: “[What the] hell you talmbout?” Black life. Human rights. Black lives — that’s what the hell we’re talmbout. —Look — it’s Pride Month, and if this iconic gay national anthem doesn’t put some PrEP in your step, I don’t know what will.
