I named Status Ain’t Hood after a line from Destiny’s Child’s “Soldier,” and the name was always supposed to be a joke on myself: of course I have no place writing about half the stuff I write about, but fuck it. It’s always been fun watching comments-section goons try to flip it on me: “Status really ain’t hood!” I got there first, assholes.

Dang. This was one of my few oft frequented music columns. Sad times. Status Ain’t Hood will always have a polace in my memory!
