IN THE CUT’S GRAMMY PREDICTIONS- WE DON’T CARE- LOL

Beyoncé better win ALBUM OF THE YEAR for Renaissance. Every category is invalid if she loses that category. We don’t care. Fuck it. Also, all my friends have been waitlisted and Kalen Allen was waitlisted and he’s the President of the Beyoncé Fan Club- It’s giving ERAS PTSD.Ticketmaster, you deserve Chapter 11.

IN THE CUT’S TOP 10 FAVORITE GRAMMY-WINNING ALBUM OF THE YEAR RECIPIENTS- IN CELEBRATION OF BLACK HISTORY MONTH

Granted, the Grammy’s constantly screw up as this list doesn’t include Janet Jackson (RHYTHM NATION & THE VELVET ROPE), Mariah Carey (BUTTERFLY & THE EMANCIPATION OF MIMI), Usher (CONFESSIONS), Aaliyah (AALIYAH), Beyonce (DANGEROUSLY IN LOVE, BEYONCE, & LEMONADE), Kendrick Lamar (GOOD KID M.A.A.D. CITY & TO PIMP A BUTTERFLY), and Alicia Keys (SONGS IN A MINOR & THE DIARY OF ALICIA KEYS). In fact, at the time of compiling this list, only eleven albums made by a black artist won Album of the Year. Fuck! Three of the 11 were won by the incomparable Stevie Wonder- one of the best decisions you ever made, Grammys! Regardless of this list, some of the albums that did win are our favorite ones of all time.

Here are our favorite albums from the treasured list:

STEVIE WONDER; Songs in the Key of Life

LAURYN HILL; The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill

WHITNEY HOUSTON; The Bodyguard soundtrack

OUTKAST; Speakerboxxx/The Love Below

MICHAEL JACKSON; Thriller

JON BATISTE; We Are

NATALIE COLE; Unforgettable

STEVIE WONDER; Innervisions

STEVIE WONDER; Fulfillingness' First Finale

RAY CHARLES; Genius Loves Company

Finally, we are not kidding when we say that we will raise hell, fire, and brimstone (IN THAT ORDER) if Beyonce lost another AOTY for RENAISSANCE when that album was the most complete concept album and genre-mixing dreamscape from the 100 albums nominated. You better not even think about handing her Grammy to Coldplay, Adele, Bonnie Raitt, Harry Styles, and fucking ABBA, of all people. It's nobody's fault but yours that you decided not to award ABBA in their prime when you had your chance. AOTY is not a consolation prize.

IN THE CUT CELEBRATES BLACK HISTORY MONTH WITH BLACK FINAL GIRLS- A CELEBRATION OF BLACK GIRL IN FILM, FASHION, ART, & MUSIC

It’s BLACK HISTORY MONTH, and Queen Beyoncé has presided over us in proclaiming us poor, broke, and happy fellows worshiping at her Iluminatti altar. Stay home if you don’t want your souls sacrificed for the Baphomet demigods. We’re okay with our souls being turned to dust. It’s for the art. What’s one day closer to death, anyway?!

This month, we want to celebrate all the BLACK FINAL GIRLS that birthed a nation from the times of Josephine Baker to the greatness of Beyoncé as we watch her win Album of the Year at the Grammys this Sunday night- which sends us Grammy predictions this weekend. Lovely.

The magic begins with the movers & the shakers, the ground-breakers, and the iconoclasts who have etched their names in immortality on the silver screen and on vinyl records.

Women like Angela Bassett, Halle Berry, and Lauryn Hill innovated the art and became the first to guide their communities to achieve greatness. We celebrate the Diosa of Music this month, her resting anniversary, Whitney Houston, as we look back at her history at the Grammys & the Super Bowl. We also honor the movie that made the millennial girlies want to start a band, The Cheetah Girls (a film produced by Houston and Debra Martin Chase).

Like Raven Baxter, this is the future we can see together.

Let’s celebrate BLACK FINAL GIRLS everywhere.

IN THE CUT’S TOP 10 MOVIES ABOUT SUICIDE AND CRIPPLING DEPRESSION- WE DON’T WANT TO BE ALIVE ANYMORE (SEND OUT AN SOS)

We don’t want to live anymore.

It’s not a secret that we have not uploaded pieces for January.

It wouldn’t matter anyway. None of you read our pieces.

This isn’t a note but a legitimate reason for missing in action—bottom line.

We suck, and we want to die.

Movies help us escape, and these ten movies have components that articulate our pain.

THE VIRGIN SUICIDES (1999); directed by Sofia Coppola

ORDINARY PEOPLE (1980); directed by Robert Redford

GIRL INTERRUPTED (1999); directed by James Mangold

TASTE OF CHERRY (1997); directed by Abbas Kiarostami

ABOUT ALEX (2014); directed by Jesse Zwick

ALL THE BRIGHT PLACES (2020); directed by Brett Haley

AUDRIE & DAISY(2016); directed by Bonni Cohen & Jon Shenk

ARCHIE’S FINAL PROJECT (2009); directed by David Lee Miller

PROZAC NATION (2001); directed by Erik Skjoldbjærg

THE SKELETON TWINS (2014); directed by Craig Johnson

IN THE CUT’S TOP 10 BEST SONGS OF 2022

We are back for our annual year-end TOP 10s. Kicking us off as we usher in the holidays and the new year, IN THE CUT counts down the Best Songs of 2022. In a year where music felt the surging blows of awful TikTok and nursery rhyme patterns like Leah Kate's aged-out narcissist twinged hideously whiny "Twinkle Twinkle Little Bitch," & gutter-trash talent levels of rap fads milked pop girlies into their otherwise generic pop song such as Perma-Curl Jimmy Neutron Jack Harlow's "Dua Lipa" & (I don't know who this wanker is) Central Cee with lyrically off-putting homophobic "Doja," we also got some of the best finds music can offer with Beyonce, Bad Bunny, and rise of Steve Lacy. Lacy enjoyed his first number-one song on the Billboard Hot 100 charts in 2022.

BEYONCE: “Summer Renaissance“ from Renaissance

ROSALIA: “Saoko” from Motomami

CARLY RAE JEPSEN & RUFUS WAINWRIGHT: “The Loneliest Time” from The Loneliest Time

SZA: “F2F” from SOS

BAD BUNNY: “Tití Me Preguntó” from Un Verano Sin Ti

STEVE LACY: “Bad Habit” from Gemini Rights

ETHEL CAIN: “Sun Bleached Flies” from Preacher’s Daughter

KENDRICK LAMAR: “N95” from Mr. Morale & the Big Steppers

LIZZO: “Break Up Twice” from Special

HARRY STYLES: “Music for a Sushi Restaurant” from Harry’s House
