Salute to Rachael Edwards, Aaron McGruder, Stephen Colbert, MTV Entertainment Studios and the whole TGHT team who I could not do this without!! I THANK GOD FOR IT ALL!!”

Charlamagne Tha God Thinks Kanye’s Pete Davidson Diss On ‘Eazy’ Was ‘Corny As Hell’

by

While Kanye West’s latest single has understandably caused consternation among members of his ex’s household, with Pete Davidson reportedly increasing his security after Ye threatened to beat him up on “Eazy” and Kim Kardashian supposedly barring him from his daughter’s birthday party (he later posted a video from the party, suggesting it wasn’t that serious). However, there’s at least one other person who wasn’t feeling Ye’s “Eazy” bar: radio host Charlamagne Tha God, who called the line “corny as hell” in a new episode of his podcast.

In the song, Kanye references the 2003 collision that left his mouth wired shut (something he rapped about on “Through The Wire”), rhyming, “God saved me from that crash/Just so I can beat Pete Davidson’s ass.” Charlamagne, who hosts the Brilliant Idiots podcast with comedian Andrew Schulz, didn’t varnish his opinion of the line. “I thought Kanye’s bar to Pete [Davidson] was corny as hell,” he said. “I didn’t like it. What happened to Jesus? What happened to God? You weren’t even cursing on your records and now all of a sudden you wanna beat up Pete Davidson?”

Interestingly enough, Kanye went to Charlamagne for a two-hour interview when he was under fire for supporting Donald Trump in 2018 and needed a sympathetic outlet (consider that on the same day, TMZ’s Van Lathan practically cursed him out on live television for his recent shenanigans), but in recent months, it seems even Charlamagne’s patience has worn thin. In August last year, the radio host slated Kanye’s album Donda, calling it “lackluster,” and now, he’s unsubtly calling out the corniness of Kanye’s latest antics, which is especially unsettling for making me agree with Charlamagne for once.

In His First Post-Astroworld Interview, Travis Scott Says He’s Been On An ‘Emotional Rollercoaster’

by

Since the Astroworld Festival tragedy, Travis Scott has shared a couple of statements here and there, but now, he has given his first interview since the festival.

In a 50-minute conversation with Charlamagne The God, Scott spoke about how he’s been feeling lately, saying:

“I’ve been on different types of emotions, you know? An emotional rollercoaster, I mean. It gets so hard because, you know, I always feel connected with my fans. I went through something and I feel like fans went through something and people’s parents went through something, and it really hurts. It hurts the community, it hurts the city. There’s been a lot of thoughts, a lot of feelings, a lot of grieving, and just trying to wrap my head around it. And really just wanting to be there and wishing you could just hold everyone, kind of just heal them, talk to them, have conversations. It really just hurts, man.”

Charlamagne then asked Scott was his intention for the interview was and Scott responded, “I don’t personally have an intention, I just feel like something happened and I feel like it’s just… I needed a way to kinda like communicate, you know? One, families are grieving. There’s fans that experienced something, there’s fans that came to the show. I’ve always been that person to always see things through with the people that share the experiences with me. […] I’ve been trying to just really figure things out.”

Charlamagne Tha God Thinks ‘Donda’ Is ‘Lackluster’ On First Listen, But He Has Thoughts On How To Fix It

by

Now that Kanye West’s Donda is finally released — whether he approved the final version or not — the armchair critics are emerging with their hot takes in hand. Whether it’s to declare the record awful, worship at the altar of Ye, or refuse to engage with the text, a whole spectrum of responses has emerged, as usual, to the latest Yeezy project. But one thoughtful, long-time Kanye fan has a fairly measured response, and ideas for how to make the record better.

On this morning’s episode of The Breakfast Club, DJ Envy noted that he won’t be listening to the album at all because of Ye’s recent flirtation with supporting the MAGA among us, but Charlamagne Tha God came through with some pretty good, honest insight. “Upon first listen, it was lackluster for me,” he said Charlamagne. “I like the joint with Westwide and Kanye, I like ‘Jesus Lord’ with the LOX and Jay Electronica…. I think if he just scaled the project down, to like 12-13 records, it could be a great album.”

The idea of scaling the project down is likely something plenty of people at the label had in mind, too, and would likely do a lot for its reception. The sheer volume is a dealbreaker, as Charlamagne notes: “But it’s an hour and 48 minutes long, so like Kanye West it can be very exhausting,” he said, noting the music itself sounds older, too. “28 songs with all the part twos, an hour and 48 minutes, it’s too long and it drags to me. And the music sounds kinda dated, man.”

So maybe, Kanye, release an edited version to win fans like Charlamagne back? Check out the full discussion above.

Soulja Boy Slams Charlamagne Tha God For Saying He Isn’t From Atlanta

At the end of last month, a meme that theorized a Mount Rushmore of 2010s rap made its way onto social media and it caused much more of an uproar than some might’ve expected. Since then, people have made their own versions of the Mount Rushmore meme to use for various reasons. One example came during a recent interview Migos had on The Breakfast Club where the trio was asked who they would place on their Mount Rushmore for Atlanta rap. They included themselves while mentioning acts like T.I., Outkast, Gucci Mane, and Lil Jon.

DJ Envy then asked if Soulja Boy was deserving of a spot on the theoretical Mount Rushmore and Charlamagne Tha God replied, “No, Soulja Boy ain’t from Atlanta.” It was this answer that upset Soulja Boy as the rapper hopped on Instagram Live to respond.

“Stop playing with me, Charlamagne Tha God, Breakfast Club,” he said. “What the f*ck is you talking about I’m not from Atlanta. You know where the f*ck I’m from.” He added, “Where the f*ck you think I shot ‘Crank Dat’ at? Where the f*ck you think I went to school at? Where the f*ck you think I grew up at?” After attempting to call his mother to provide proof of his Atlanta roots, Soulja concluded with a final message to Charlamagne.

“Don’t speak on where I’m from. You don’t know my story. You don’t know me. You don’t know nothin’ about me.”
