Editors' Picks: Our Favorite Things From the Week of July 17 of 8
Easter Egg of the Week
Knowing that Sorry to Bother You is rolled tight with hip-hop references, we've been thinking about this striking image of Tessa Thompson for a couple weeks because we knew the statement earrings were a lyrical reference that was evading us. It struck us just now that director Boots Riley was paying respect to the group Blackalicious, who reached a creative zenith in 1999 with the record Nia. If you're fortunate enough to own the record, skip over to track No. 7, "Shallow Days," to piece this music-to-film Easter egg together.
