Double Standard

DJ Akademiks Calls Out Double Standard In Kendrick Lamar & Andrew Schulz Controversy

by

One of the most surprising storylines out of Kendrick Lamar’s new album GNX is how strongly Andrew Schulz felt about a particular bar on its opening track. “Don’t let no white comedian talk about no Black woman, that’s law,” he raps on “wacced out murals,” which many felt was a comment aimed at Schulz’s recent viral moment joking about Black women. The comedian and media personality responded with some pretty loaded and critical jokes, which drew their own conversation online. DJ Akademiks threw in his two cents on the matter, calling out a certain double standard on behalf of Internet users.

Specifically, DJ Akademiks brought up his social media beef with Saucy Santana, who threatened to do a whole lot of nasty things to him. Ak said that the same people who laughed at him when Saucy joked about assaulting him are the same people who are criticizing Andrew Schulz for his comments towards Kendrick Lamar. Obviously, the situations, tones, jokes, and personal dynamics are very different in both cases, but it seems like a lot of people had similar feelings.

DJ Akademiks Speaks On Kendrick Lamar & Andrew Schulz Situation

Beyond DJ Akademiks, Andrew Schulz himself responded to this Kendrick Lamar backlash. He called out Meek Mill for his supposed hypocrisy in criticizing Schulz for his jokes. “”White man saying they’ll r*pe black men openly is extreme …” Meek had tweeted. “and then say it’s just a joke .., black manhood not a joke! I seen the same guys saying I was gay on his stand up! My white friends like it’s a joke! We don’t joke like that in the black community at all!!” However, DJ Akademiks does bring up an interesting point about how certain people get more backlash than others. But that has its own explanation…

Meanwhile, as the conversation around all this continues to develop, we’ll see if Kendrick Lamar has anything else to say about it. We’re sure that Andrew Schulz and DJ Akademiks will continue to do their commentary and pull narratives from it, and we just hope they keep things reasonable and respectful. But at the end of the day, we all know how this circus goes.

Keke Palmer Drama Discussion Drags Chance The Rapper Into The Fray

by

Some of the spiciest pop culture drama this week is what’s going on between Keke Palmer and her boyfriend Darius Jackson. For those unaware, the Internet stormed on Jackson after he expressed disapproval of Palmer wearing a slightly revealing outfit to Usher’s concert- and many think that he was jealous of him serenading her. Of course, like with any public drama between celebrities, people from every corner stepped in to give their take. In the process, people who called out double standards in this case actually brought up Chance The Rapper, referencing a viral video of him from not too long ago. According to these proponents, social media was happy to bash on Chance but let Keke do something similar.

However, when you really compare the two instances, it’s clear that Keke Palmer has much less to explain on her end than Chance. Moreover, someone filmed the Chicago rapper grinding with a woman that isn’t his wife at a festival, which many took issue with. Still, it’s not like it was complete backlash, as plenty of users still defended it as just harmless fun that we don’t even know if his wife approves of. Regardless, it seems like a stretch to compare an act to a dress, especially when its public nature wasn’t prompted by the couple itself as Jackson did in this case.

Chance The Rapper Video Gets Compared To Keke Palmer Situation

“If I remember correctly, everybody was calling out Chance the Rapper for letting a lady dance on him at Carnival,” one user tweeted about the Keke Palmer situation. “But not many are calling out our Beloved for dancing on Usher, basically doing the same thing as Chance but in reverse. He should’ve straight called her out on this because we all know the outfit wasn’t the real reason for him calling her out. Also should’ve did it behind closed doors. It is what it is though. We can’t be so deep in other people’s relationships when it’s not our business.”

Meanwhile, Chance is far from the first celebrity that users dragged into this mess. Jacquees wants to stay out of it, whereas Usher had a short and cheeky response. Overall, it seems that the moral of this story is to keep relationship stuff to yourself, and to not make a scene online. Come back to HNHH for the latest updates on Keke Palmer and Chance The Rapper.

Foushee Dreams Of A World Without Restrictive Social Norms On The Rule-Breaking ‘Double Standard’

by

Thanks to a healthy hand from TikTok and other social media platforms, Foushee worked her way into the spotlight in 2021. Her rise tracks back to 2020 thanks to the release of “Deep End Freestyle,” which went viral on TikTok following a remix from Sleepy Hallow. Last year, Foushee went on to release her debut project Time Machine which was propelled by tracks like “Paper Plane” and “My Slime.” Since then, Foushee has worked with the likes of Vince Staples, Ayra Starr, Lil Wayne, Saba, and more. Less than a year after she dropped Time Machine, Foushee’s ready to roll out her next body of work.

It begins with “Double Standard.” Just like the rest of her catalog, the new single is quite the genre-bending record that see Foushee throwing up a middle finger to the societal norms that restrict her desired way of life. In a press release, she said the song addresses “outdated gender roles that I have experienced in past relationships and rebelling against them.” She adds, “The imbalance frustrates me. Don’t expect anything from me that you wouldn’t give me, including respect and loyalty. I match energy.”

Along with the new song, which is the first single from her upcoming project, Foushee also released quite an interesting visualizer for the song. It features her and Steve Lacy enjoying each other’s company and locking lips in the middle of a grassy field. “I wanted to feature Steve Lacy in the visualizer/artwork to mostly to stir up thought,” she said. “It’s kind of a bold move to make out with someone on artwork for the world to analyze, but that’s what the song represents. Breaking the rules.”

You can listen to “Double Standard” in the visual above and stay tuned for more from Foushee.
