Elfen’s TBT TOP 40 R&B of 1985 Loose Ends Hangin’ On A String
Loose Ends Album release date August 17 th 1985
The year was 1985. This is pre internet, smartphones, Twitter, Black Twitter, Facebook and Instagram. Black folks of 1985 was listening to the radio or on the move with their Walkman. The R&B radio station I was bumpin’ to in my home city and state of Tacoma WA was 1250 Kfox am and one of the songs topping the 1# spot in the U.S R&B top 40 for 1 week was Hangin’ On A String by a British R&B Band called Loose Ends. Notice you can understand EVERY word. And the lead singers aren’t cussing and no one is saying nigga every few verses. The message is simple and to the point. Back in 1985 the radio personalities choose the song being played. They got to play what they liked and thought their listening audience might like it too. This song was on the niddle every time this song was requested. I even remember calling in to request this jam!

Jada Pinkett-Smith Opens Up About Her Friendship With Tupac, Says She’s Angry Because She Thought He’d Still Be Here
“I’ve had a lot of loss. So many of my close friends gone. They didn’t make it to 30. They didn’t make it past 25. A lot of people talk about my relationship with Pac and figure that out. That was a huge loss in my life,” Pinkett-Smith said.
She continued, “Because he was one of those people I expected to be here. My upset is more anger because I feel like he left me. And I know that’s not true and it’s a very selfish way to think about it… I really did believe he’d be here for the long run. And when I think about it I still get really mad.”

This Is the Remix to Eviction: R Kelly’s Playlist removed from Spotify
As of Thursday, Spotify listeners will no longer be able to bump—or accidentally bump into—any R. Kelly tracks on the site’s playlists. The move is made possible by a new policy regarding public hate content and hateful conduct, which gives the company the right to choose not to promote artists it feels have caused harm.
To be clear: R. Kelly’s music can still be found on the streaming service if one searches for it. But Spotify will no longer actively promote his music—banning R. Kelly’s catalog from all of Spotify’s editorial and algorithmic playlists. The news was first reported by Billboard.
According to the new policy, Spotify emphasizes that it won’t censor content from an artist or creator because of their behavior. But, the company writes, “we want our editorial decisions—what we choose to program—to reflect our values.”
“When an artist or creator does something that is especially harmful or hateful (for example, violence against children and sexual violence), it may affect the ways we work with or support that artist or creator,” the policy states.
For more than 20 years, R. Kelly has been hit with allegations that he has targeted and had sexual relationships with underage women. Recently, multiple women have come forward to say that Kelly is running a sex cult; he’s also been accused of sexual violence and coercion by multiple women.
Recently, the Time’s Up initiative launched a #MuteRKelly campaign, outlining his alleged abuses and calling on Apple and Spotify to quit supporting the artist. The campaign was first announced on The Root.
