Grammy-winning music duo Alicia Keys and Kaseem “Swizz Beatz” Dean — both TIME100 Art honorees — do not just create award-winning albums, but they also lead The Dean Collection, one of the most significant private collections of contemporary art by Black artists.
At an event celebrating honorees in New York City Monday, Keys spoke on the energy and “magic” of a room full of artists.
We got echoes of Belly, The Mack, and The Piano Lesson in one brilliantly written episode of television. Throw in a new hit with a Chaka sample and we’re bordering on musical perfection.
That scene with Leon when Wanda asking for money? The strip club entrance recreating Belly? Dara putting in her bid with Leon while Willie Hutch “I Choose You” playing?
That might’ve been a top 5 episode in the Snowfall Universe man #TheDropFX

Sharon Stone says social media algorithms are being shaped by tech leaders who are often “on the spectrum” and may lack the “emotional intelligence” to guide society:
“I say this from a loving heart, because I’m a mom and I’m a little bit on the spectrum: A lot of these tech people who are making up a lot of these choices and algorithms and ideas about how we should do things are people who are on the spectrum. They’re people who are highly intellectual but whose emotional intelligence may not be on par with that. And the balance might not be a healthy way to be guiding us into the future. And so to allow people who are out of balance to be guiding us forward is probably why we all have diarrhea right now. And I think it’s really important to notice if you’re shitting yourself, maybe you’re not making the smartest moves for us as a nation.”
