Kendrick Lamar’s “Pop Out” delivered another knockout

Published

on

Sometimes, as I wrote on Twitter last night, you actually need to get on the market and show people. That’s exactly what Kendrick did last night in an epic performance. Someone on TikTok said, “Kendrick is June 16th and Drake is July 4th,” and after Kendrick’s The Pop Out concert last night, that rings true. Kendrick is black culture, while Drake is a giant crossover celebration. But before we go any further, we must come together to decide on a reputation for this historic program that the culture has seen as one, talking on Black Twitter and texting about how this program has given us life.

@shanellegenai on Twitter suggested we could call it that “Gangchella” or “Gangteenth” due to the way in which Kendrick combined the Los Angeles Bloods, Crips and Pirus at the tip of the show. (She also offered “Goonteenth,” “The Gangerie,” “The Blood Bonvention” and “Niggapalooza.”) The gang unity aspect was each uplifting and wild. The sight of red and blue dancing together on stage and their group photo demonstrated Kendrick’s cultural power – his ability to unite discordant people is unmatched in modern hip-hop. @michaelharriot wrote on Twitter: “Gangsta lounges weren’t on my Juneteen bingo card.” @actatumonline wrote on Twitter: “It’s guys with 14 bodies on stage dancing carelessly.” At the tip, they were together on stage in peace. @righttimeBomani said Kendrick deserves the Nobel Peace Prize for this. I wrote on Twitter “Not Like Us” became so popular that it united the Crips and Bloods.

But no, it won’t be written as “Gangchella.” Many suggested we call it “Hatechella.” @mikebeauvais wrote on Twitter: “It’s like, ‘We are the whole world, but because we hate a guy.’ Kendrick went through all of his battle records, starting with “Euphoria,” moving through “6:16 In LA” and “Like That,” and ending with “Not Like Us,” which he performed five or six times in a row. I lost count in all this euphoria. You know you have a cult hit when you can sing the song five or six times and everyone wants to hear it again. @kevonstage wrote on Twitter: “Kendrick plays this song over and once again, identical to I do within the automotive.” @basseyworld wrote on Twitter: “Are you still a serial killer if you kill just one person repeatedly?”

@porterhouseLA wrote on Twitter: “This is literally the culture that Drake doesn’t have,” and that is what Kendrick said multiple times during this battle. When Kendrick called Drake a colonizer and told him “we don’t want to hear you say (that word) anymore,” he wasn’t talking about biology. Not because he was mixed. This is because he lacks a deep cultural connection to African American culture because he isn’t African American. Everything Kendrick did on this battle demonstrated Kendrick’s cultural competency and cultural strength, and last night only added to that. He brought the celebs of Compton, from Dr. Dre to YG to Roddy Rich, and Los Angeles-born NBA stars Russell Westbrook and DeMar DeRozan danced with him on stage. I heard LeBron was homese. Is there anyone who won’t take part on Kendrick’s sonic stomping? (OK, J. Cole. Touché.) And he stepped out in a blood-red outfit that spoke to his Blood homies and to the legacy of Tupac, who in 1994 wore a blood-red sweatshirt and a blood-red hat. (That was a visible digraph. The man is a genius.) Drake is definitely within the culture, but Kendrick is the culture. It’s in his blood.

Many were hopping last night when Drake ended…@stagbechillin wrote on Twitter: “Damn, that was a nice funeral. They did the body nicely.” Of course Drake is not dead. He lost badly, and public embarrassment is devastating for somebody who cares about image and being liked. He may have to debate his PTSD together with his therapist, but make no mistake, his profession will go on. But he’ll eternally carry the stain of that loss, and maybe also the pain of watching an arena filled with people rhyming to songs calling him a pedophile. Because you realize Drake was at home watching his blood pressure go up and up. @drewscoty said“If I were Drake, I would cancel my Amazon Prime membership immediately.” Surely.

At the tip of the terrifying “The Heart Part 6,” Drake said it felt good to get out and take his pen to work, but what did he have left from the battle apart from scars? Kendrick could do an entire show on Amazon releasing his latest songs against Drake. It was an entire diss show. Like Versuz, which did not have a second MC. As I wrote on Twitter“Do you think that Drake will make battle videos each time he goes on tour? NO.”

Keke Palmer shares his POV with a breakdown in the shady remix of Usher “Confessions Part II”

Published

on

By

In July 2023, Keke Palmer and her dad and former boyfriend Darius Jackson caused one of many great debates in social media. After Palmer was noticed (great, I can add) at the Usher concert this summer, Jackson began to X to share his contempt for the mother of selecting his child, causing a discourse with the “equivalent” of her outfit.

Although Jackson was very open about this case, Palmer was silent about her feelings at a viral moment – to this point. On Friday, May 9, the Wielfenian star released a recent song entitled “My Confessions”, in which she spills all tea at this moment and her break with Jackson.

“This is personal.” My confession “is exactly as it sounds – whether giving the feelings I buried”, Palmer he wrote on Instagram About the song. “Sometimes we need a closure, it does not come from a conversation – it results from being honest with each other. This is this song. My room. My brightness. My way to let go.”

The record, which rises from the “Confessions Part Conmissiones”, was written by Palmer and her best friend for 22 years, Tayla Parx, who says that the star “no” saw her through every version of herself. Describing the song as “harsh, emotional and real”, Palmer takes the listeners back to July 2023 and lirially explains every little thing about how Jackson broke up with her at the time, which prompted her to the evening of girls.

“Summer ’23, we were in Vegas, on the right/we broke up with me and jumped to the flight/you were an attempt to find the way to” positive “/so I thought I have a girl’s night”, sings. “48 hours later online/I made me a villain, but you lied, mm/but the truth is that now we now have now already ended in Vegas.

In the whole song and the lyrical film accompanying her, Palmer refers to Jackson’s controversial tweets, and even reported tensions between her and his family.

“Your family, they don’t like me, that’s good / but when did you come back on the side? / When I met you, you hated them as if you hated me now.”

Similarly, he turns to the response and response to his criticism about her appearance at the Usher concert: “72 hours, now your feelings hurt/my fans were pulling you because you had a nerve/you almost turned me into a banality/thought that your child will make me want to stay.”

As the chorus notes: “F— Your projections / These are my confessions”, Palmer explains how difficult it’s to inform her the truth when she sings: “Telling that it was difficult for me / Telling only for my peace / truth hurts and it is mine.”

Since the breakup, Palmer has revealed her and Jackson toxicity and the way much she hated the attention of the media surrounding her relationship.

From his memory “Master of Me: The Secret to Controlling Your National”, to the upcoming album “Just Keke”, Palmer says that “not to play perfectly here”, but “honestly,” and tell her story.

Paul Wall joins forces with Gracie’s Corner to get a fresh remix “Wheels on the Bus” and this is BOP

Published

on

By

As a parent of 4 children and three who’ve 10-i-fund, my favorite music genre at this moment of my life are jams suitable for the age, which I can listen to without the desire to stab my eyeballs. So when “Gracie’s Corner” struck my awareness a few years ago to fill this void (and appreciating parents around the world) I knew that we found gold.

For example, while “Happy Birthday” Stevie Wonder will all the time be a birthday song of the black community, at this point he is commonplace “Gracie’s Corner” version at birthday parties For those of us who went to see “sinners” at the opening weekend.

“Gracie’s Corner” for many who have no idea (or should not have children) is a YouTube channel for youngsters. According to their side, YouTube provides “a combination of educational, funny and encouraging songs for children from various environments. Come and dance with the game when he chooses a funny journey with family and friends!”

More precisely, they take some rhymed rhymes, which everyone knows and love and put a bit on it. Which leads us to the reason behind the season. If you have not heard the “Gracie’s Corner” version “Wheels on the bus” You cannot have black children. Until now, heavy bass, hi-hat jam trap has 111 million views. Yes, you read the right 111 million views. These wipers are Swisków. Let’s say, Issa Bop.

Well, because people from the headquarters of “Gracie’s Corner” don’t play truthfully, they got here out and got Paul Walla-Tak, he has Houston rap labels, Swithahouse Paul Wall, “Master of the People”-to drop a part of what is dirty south.

Listen to me. I don’t understand how this cooperation was created by Paul Wall and “Gracie’s Corner”, but whoever played this thing must conduct seminars on synergy and creative cooperation for the whole family. I hope that this person is liable for planning a family reunion, because in that case, it is not only city trips and cooking in the city park for this family. The undeniable fact that the whole poem by Paul Walla feels like the one who was sitting, which could fit on the slow rhythm album of Mike Jones, or mainly every song during which Paul Wall has ever appeared – but still works for BOP of this children – is a nasty work of the most beautiful diversity.

Listen, I do not know if you may have a reason to pull up “Gracie’s Corner”, but in case you do it, move quickly to listen to this “wheel on the H-Town bus-to-remiks” with Paul Wall. And in case you didn’t know that “Gracie’s Corner” exists earlier, consider your life, and now you see how the life of oldsters will look and the way it differs from a lonely life. Because now I hit this remix “wheels on the bus” in a automobile with my children. This, my friends, is for all wines.

Indeed, the wheels are rolling.

André 3000 wore a piano on his back to the MET gala – here’s why

Published

on

By

André 3000 is currently and has been for the most a part of the last 30 years of one in every of the leaflets dressed at the planet. Since placing the whole generation of young black men to turban in stores with cosmetics supplies to blond wigs and kilos, there may be nothing that Atlien cannot break away.

So when he hit a haunted blue rug during the MET gala in 2025 in the entire piano on the back, even the most lost that they had to cut the thorn on the side of Mrs. Jackson a little bit of slack. By turning a single-piece black outfit with a red hat, which definitely has a specific name, only carrying what I can put on is a designer trash bag-good room one in every of the lithium at a goat level at the level of hip-hop also wore a piano … on the back. Yes. Piano. The entire 88-lake piano. I hope it was hollowed out for ease of movement; André 3000 is just not exactly a spring chicken at the moment. He doesn’t even rap by trading his notators on his famous flute collection.

Now it is extremely likely that me and your, your mother and your cousin, are wondering what can force anyone, and much more so André 3000, to cultivate the piano. Well, the answer to this query lies on Walking Promothal Exparit that André 3000 was at the MET gala. Just before he appeared in the Vogue channel for Met Gala Dwet Photo OP, group chats were in the news that André 3000 dropped the EP entitled “7 piano sketches”, while the biggest fashion night was half of the spring.

And don’t think that 3000 has returned to the bars, “7 piano sketches” is the most literal title of the album I’ve ever heard in my life; This is literally an album stuffed with piano sketches.

As you may see, the art of the album is comparable to the meta gala of the André 3000 outfit. This boy is coooooooold. This latest EP appears almost a 12 months and a half after André 3000 dropped, “New Blue Sun”, through which he began playing the flute, and never tell us more about Susa Screw and the Sasha Thumper crew. Despite the mixed reviews of “New Blue Sun”, this album was nominated for a lot of Grammy Awards during the 2025 ceremony, including the nomination for “Album of the Year”.

When everyone finally ends up talking about Met Gala costumes and a great discovery of Rihanna, prepare for the attack of dialogue about the André 3000 piano album.
