My texts were blowing up because my friends know how much I adore this woman. Fortunately, I already had words to share, originally written for People Magazine’s celebration of Dolly Parton's 75th birthday in 2021.
For week 6 of #BlackMusicSummer, share the songs that would be on your syllabus if you were tasked with teaching hip hop 101.
I wasn't even conscious of it until today.
We'll pick #BlackMusicSummer back up on Monday.

Maybe it's music from a very specific time in your life, or music you wish you'd been around for because you know you would've had a TIME. Or just an era you believe illustrates greatness in a genre.
This is another one where you can use the week to your advantage: want to highlight more than one genre or era? Knock yourself out.
For Week 4 of #BlackMusicSummer, share a song (or songs) that represent YOUR idea of a golden era in music.
This week is just about highlighting your favorite artist(s). Yes it can be multiple artists and multiple songs, but your choices should explain to us why your fave, is your fave.
For Week 3 of #BlackMusicSummer, share a favorite song (or songs) by your favorite artist(s).
Listen DJs, I know some songs are guaranteed crowd movers, but y'all are *stewards*! The people trust you! Remind them and/or introduce them to more! Ashe.
We spent two hours assessing songs (and we PLAYED the essential sections of the songs. IG shut down the live like 4 times) based on the following criteria:
1. Mid-tempo, or a ballad that can easily be brought up to at least a high 80s BPM range (Two-stepability)
2. Familiar (so doesn't have to be a smash hit but no deep cuts), and ideally in a late 80s - late 90s window (with some outliers)
3. Smooth lyrical pace for sing-alongability (this knocked a couple of joints out of the running)
4. Strong chorus paired with either a great bridge, intro, vamp, ad libs, or something to build to & give us some emotional high points.
5. Makes you feel warm and fuzzy singing it, even if the lyrical content is lowkey sad.
6. The following songs were ineligible bc they’re already on the overplay list, on the way to being overplayed, or recovering from being overplayed: “Weak,” “Candy Rain,” “When I See You,” “If It Isn’t Love,” “Tell Me.”
This is the FIRST round. There’s a second round that’s got more uptempo party joints. I’ll drop that soon. Also playlist coming!
Also, credit to for the video in the intro slide. I saw it as I was putting this together and I was like “clearly the people need this right now!"
This week, let's go to the opposite side of the spectrum - the songs for when your heart is broken. The lost love, if only, please come back, just one more time, why'd you have to do that joints. The full glass-case-of-emotion, crying in the car soundtracks.
For week 2 of, share a song (or songs) that puts you IMMEDIATELY in your feelings.
For the next 8 weeks prompts will drop on Monday, and we had a good time on IG live last week so maybe I'll (finally) get a weekly prompt discussion going!
So to kick #BlackMusicSummer off, I wanted to bring back a prompt we haven't had in the challenge in a while.
Some love songs sound so sweet - until you realize they're about plotting on somebody's existing relationship. For Week 1, share a dirty-macking jam.
I'll absolutely have some of y'all join me if you have need to speak you piece, so come ready!
See y'all at 7pm ET.
Nai
I realized I've never done a proper “Welcome to #MusicSermon” new follower/community member post. I take for granted that the community knows me and knows how differs from other music pages, but that was an oversight on my part.
So, real quick:
1. I’m Naima. You’ll see some people refer to me as “Pastor,” (bc the whole “sermon”/church references, get it?). It’s always me posting and commenting. I’m a former label exec and manager turned music journalist and college professor.
2. started in 2017 as a weekly series of Twitter threads (in fact, the anniversary is just a couple of weeks away). I expanded it to IG for the #BlackMusicMonthChallenge in 2018, but this has become the center of the community over the last 2 or 3 years.
3. My goal with was to fill in the many gaps that I felt fan accounts left in Black music storytelling and history. As someone who worked with core R&B artists, I saw how often they got left out of conversations in the 2010s. My focus was primarily on pre-blog era artists and music. No topics devoted to superstars. (I've relaxed that a little.)
Now we’re several years into an R&B renaissance and a massive nostalgia movement, but that was just beginning to bubble when started.
4. New Jack Swing is the cornerstone of this ministry. I’m Black Gen X; we danced hard AF, wore bright colors, and changed the world. That's my testimony. My content is def influenced by my own personal taste, bc if I don’t enjoy what I’m posting it won't hit the same.
And finally
5. Two of ’s primary mission points are
- To tell the stories that go beyond the obvious about artists, sub-genres, and eras of Black music.
- To foster and maintain a spirit of community with followers (but the community does a great job of this on their own. They’re awesome)
We’re here to celebrate, bop, reminisce, and sometimes hopefully learn something. Now greet somebody you don't know:) Enjoy!
