Macklemore Attacks Joe Biden On Pro-Palestine Song “Hind’s Hall”

by

Macklemore speaks his mind. The Seattle rapper has been lionized and villainized for discussing controversial topics in his music, but he’s stuck to his guns throughout his career. His latest single, “Hind’s Hall,” is perhaps his most controversial yet. Macklemore champions Palestine over the song’s three verses, and takes political leaders to task for not doing anything to aid its citizens. He goes as far as to call put Joe Biden, and tell him the President that he has “blood” on his hands.

The rapper doesn’t bother with entendres or hidden meanings. He comes out and plainly states how he feels about the current Palestine situation. He also notes the recent wave of student protests. “History been repeating for the last 75,” he raps. “The nakba never ended, the colonizer lied. If students in tents posted on the lawn, occupying the quad is really against the law.” From there, Macklemore criticizes the prioritization of profit over war, and the ways in which those in power benefit from prolonged struggles. “Who gets the right to defend,” he adds. “And who gets the right of resistance has always been about dollars.”

Macklemore Also Throws A Shot At Drake

Macklemore even makes reference to the ongoing Drake vs. Kendrick Lamar battle. He points out how unimportant the battle is amidst real world conflict. “I want a ceasefire,” he raps aggressively. “F*ck a response from Drake.” The biggest diss, however is reserved for the President. The rapper says that he’s disappointed in Biden’s handling of the Palestine situation, and even the President that he no longer has his vote. “The blood is on your hands, Biden, we can see it all,” he adds. “And f*ck no, I’m not voting for you in the fall.”

What are your thoughts on this new diss, “Hind’s Hall” by Macklemore? Is this is the best song Macklemore has released in years? Do you agree with his message? Do you think his comments about Joe Biden were accurate? We would like to hear what you have to say, so be sure to leave your takes in the comments section.

50 Cent Thinks Joe Biden’s Tax Increase Proposals Are “Not It”

by

50 Cent has never been that much of a fan of President Joe Biden, something that he makes very clear through his many social media posts on his proposals, actions, etc. Moreover, the most recent example of this phenomenon has to do with No. 46’s budget proposition for the 2025 fiscal year, pushing for an increase to 44.6% in capital gains taxes for individuals with over $1 million in taxable income and over $400,000 in investment earnings. It looks like this falls in Fif’s wildly successful tax bracket, as he took to Instagram on Thursday (April 25) to share a Wealth report on the matter. According to the publication, this would be the biggest capital gains tax rate in over 100 years in the U.S. with the goal of equalizing taxing for investment income and wage income.

“COME ON NOW JOE, THINK OF SOMETHING ELSE THIS IS NOT IT!” 50 Cent captioned his repost of this Wealth report. While hip-hop has never been the end-all, be-all for solid political opinions on either side of the aisle, there have been plenty of mixed rap reactions to many of Joe Biden’s actions and moves as the nation’s president. For one, GloRilla seemingly dodged endorsing him outright despite her White House visit. It’s a moment that went both ways by metaphorically extending her hand out for a greeting rather than going in for the full hug.

50 Cent Reacts To Joe Biden’s Proposed Tax Increases

Meanwhile, there is one recent development outside of politics that 50 Cent definitely endorses: Gucci Mane’s diss track against Diddy, “TakeDat.” For those unaware, Fif has spent a bulk of his time on social media attacking the Bad Boy mogul amid the wave of allegations against him concerning multiple sex crimes. As such, it’s no surprise that a lyrical takedown of him, albeit a tongue-in-cheek and mostly extravagant one, would excite him. Is there a remix on the way?

Jokes aside, what do you think about this proposed tax increase? What about other recent moves in politics, such as the TikTok ban? Whatever the case, let us know in the comments down below. Also, stick around on HNHH for the latest news and more updates on 50 Cent and President Joe Biden.

Donald Trump To Focus On Combating “Anti-White Racism” In 2nd Term: Report

by

Donald Trump’s team reportedly intends to combat so-called “anti-white racism” as a keystone of a second administration according to a report from Axios. This would include nixing programs created to help minorities from before the killing of George Floyd and after. In doing so, he will also reinterpret Civil Rights-era laws and apply them to this new context.

“Trump’s Justice Department would push to eliminate or upend programs in government and corporate America that are designed to counter racism that has favored whites,” Axios reported. “Targets would range from decades-old policies aimed at giving minorities economic opportunities to more recent programs that began in response to the pandemic and the killing of George Floyd.”

Donald Trump Holds Campaign Rally In Michigan

GRAND RAPIDS, MICHIGAN – APRIL 02: Former U.S. President Donald Trump speaks at a campaign event on April 02, 2024 in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Trump delivered a speech which his campaign has called “Biden’s Border Bloodbath”, as recent polls have shown that immigration and the situation at the U.S. Southern border continue to be top issues on voters’ minds going into the November election.

Trump’s campaign spokesperson Steven Cheung did not attempt to refute the report when Axios reached him for comment. Instead, he had this to say: “As President Trump has said, all staff, offices and initiatives connected to Biden’s un-American policy will be immediately terminated.” Former Trump aide Stephen Miller and his America First Legal previously used the language of “anti-white racism” to sue the NFL for it’s implimentation of the Rooney Rule. That rule requires teams to interview minority candidates for head coaching positions. 

Donald Trump Plans To Reinterpret Civil Rights-Era Laws

The former president will be squaring off against the incumbent, Joe Biden, in the general election November. It will be a rematch of the 2020 election, in which Trump was the incumbent. Be on the lookout for further updates on Donald Trump and the upcoming presidential election on HotNewHipHop.

Baltimore Bridge Collapse: What We Know About The Francis Scott Key Bridge Crash

by

The heart of Baltimore was rocked in the early hours of the morning when the Francis Scott Key Bridge, a vital link in the city’s infrastructure, succumbed to a devastating collision with the Singapore-flagged cargo ship Dali, causing it to collapse. The aftermath was nothing short of chaos as a section of the bridge plunged into the frigid waters of the Patapsco River below, trapping vehicles and construction workers alike in its wreckage.

Amidst the chaos, emergency responders launched a massive search and rescue operation, battling against time and icy temperatures to retrieve survivors. Moreover, the toll of the tragedy became painfully apparent as reports emerged of six missing construction workers and the recovery of one body from the water. Meanwhile, authorities confirmed they saved two others. The race against time intensified as the cold waters posed a threat of hypothermia to those stranded in the river.

A Collision Course

The events leading up to the collapse began with a distress call from the crew of the Dali, citing a power issue just moments before the fatal collision. The cargo ship, operated by the renowned shipping company Maersk, found itself on a collision course with the Francis Scott Key Bridge, unable to avert disaster in time. The impact was swift and merciless, with the bridge crumbling into the river in a matter of seconds, leaving behind a scene of devastation and despair.

Past Incidents Cast Shadows

As the investigation unfolds, attention has turned to the history of the Dali and its previous encounters with maritime mishaps. In 2016, the vessel collided with a shipping dock in Belgium, with errors attributed to the ship’s leadership. While it’s too early to pinpoint the exact cause of Tuesday’s tragedy, the specter of past incidents looms large and raises questions about the vessel’s safety protocols and oversight.

According to reports, rescuers are still searching for multiple people, while two survivors have been pulled from the Patapsco River. A work crew was fixing potholes on the bridge, which is used by roughly 30,000 people each day, when the ship struck at around 1:30am on Tuesday morning.

The collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge has sparked concerns about the state of Baltimore’s infrastructure. While the most recent inspection report from 2021 deemed the bridge to be in overall fair condition, authorities noted areas of concern regarding bank protection and minor structural deterioration. As authorities delve into the circumstances surrounding the collapse, calls for more stringent inspection protocols and maintenance regimes have grown louder, underscoring the importance of proactive measures in averting future disasters.

Response & Recovery

In the wake of the tragedy, both state and local authorities have mobilized resources and declared a state of emergency to facilitate swift response efforts. The National Transportation Safety Board has taken the helm of the investigation, aiming to unravel the series of events that led to the bridge’s collapse and implement measures to prevent similar incidents in the future. Meanwhile, the community of Baltimore rallies together in solidarity, offering support to the families of the missing workers and those affected by the catastrophe.

In an address in North Carolina, President Joe Biden offered his condolences and declared that the federal government would help rebuild the bridge. “We’re gonna work with our partners in Congress to make sure the state gets the support it needs,” he said. “It’s my intention that the federal government will pay for the entire cost of reconstructing that bridge and I expect the Congress to support my effort.”

GloRilla Dodges Joe Biden Endorsement While Discussing White House Trip

by

GloRilla made sure to keep herself firmly apolitical when talking about her recent trip to the White House. Glo shut down CNN when the outlet asked her if she had been invited to the White House to endorse Joe Biden. “That ain’t got nothing to do with me. I’m just livin’ life like it’s golden,” Glo replied. Glo attended a White House function earlier this week as part of Women’s History Month. This included a semi-viral moment in which she got President Biden to say “Yeah Glo”.

Of course, Glo’s star continues to shine brighter and brighter. Last month, she linked up with LeBron James in LA. LeBron stopped to take pictures with the Memphis femcee as well as enjoying a brief conversation with her. Furthermore, LeBron was also seen singing along to “Yeah, Glo!” when it was played over the Crypto.com Arena PA and was also reportedly seen dancing to more of her music in the locker room.

The Lillards have been married since 2021 but have been together since their college days at Weber State. However, Lillard’s filing cites “irreconcilable differences” and suggests that the couple has been living apart since December 2022. The couple have three children together – a five-year-old and two-year-old twin daughters.

Donald Trump Mocks Joe Biden’s Stutter From State Of The Union Address

by

Donald Trump trolled Joe Biden for stuttering during his State of the Union address at a campaign rally in Georgia on Saturday. “‘I’m gonna bring the country tuh-tuh-tuh-together,’” Trump said on stage, mimicking the president. He previously made a similar impression at a rally in Iowa in January.

Trump also called for unity of a different kind with his speech. “But if you’re a disillusioned Democrat, of which there are many today I extend an open hand, an open invitation, and I ask you to join us on the noble quest of saving our country,” he declared. “Saving our country! Together, we will turn the page forever on the miserable nightmare of the Biden presidency.” From there, he described Biden’s State of the Union as “angry, dark, hate-filled” and called him a “threat to democracy.”

But it just reveals how weak and insecure he is.” Check out Trump’s latest antics below.

Chuck D Reacts To Joe Biden’s State Of The Union Address: “Pay Attention”

by

Chuck D says watching Joe Biden’s State of the Union address is more important than watching any “sporting event.” He shared his take on the President’s speech in a post on Twitter, earlier this week. Biden called for unity in the country, spoke on Ukraine, discussed Israel and Palestine, and much more.

“Pay Attention,” the Public Enemy rapper began. “Understanding this State of the union right now is more crucial than any sporting event going on especially with elections looming in November. The divided country looks on these faces on this screen is sad ass comedy of a haunted terrain ahead either way. Making sports appear as important as someone else’s masterbation Pay Attention. Gonna be a lotta civil casualties no matter who you vote for.”

Joe Biden Continues To Ride State Of The Union High, Hits Donald Trump With Attack Ad Comparing His Attitude To The KKK

by

Joe Biden will pull no punches as he comes out of an energetic and impassioned State of the Union address. A day after the annual speech, Biden dropped an attack ad against Donald Trump. The air is set to Biden’s speech and weaves images of both Donald Trump and the KKK into segments about those trying to “divide the nation” and “drag America back into the past”. The images of Trump and the KKK are contrasted by images of Martin Luther King and other civil rights leaders.

Furthermore, Biden-Trump II is the expected matchup for this year’s Presidential election. Trump’s final rival for the GOP nomination, former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley, withdrew after being shellacked on Super Tuesday. However, the only thing that could stand between Trump and a place on the national ballot is a conviction in any of the numerous trials he is currently facing.

Donald Trump Issues Unhinged Response To Joe Biden’s State Of The Union

Trump is yet to respond to the new ad. However, he had plenty to say about the address itself. ”That may be the Angriest, Least Compassionate, and Worst State of the Union Speech ever made. It was an Embarrassment to our Country! He wants our Country to be flooded with Migrants,” Trump ranted. Biden had taken shots at Trump over the January 6 insurrection. However, he also announced plans to bring aid to Gaza and promised to restore Roe v. Wade.

Furthermore, Trump took aim at Mark Zuckerberg. ”If you get rid of TikTok, Facebook and Zuckerschmuck will double their business. I don’t want Facebook, who cheated in the last Election, doing better. They are a true Enemy of the People!” Trump claimed. The former President, who is currently the presumptive Republican nominee for November’s election, certainly made a choice by invoking electoral fraud. Trump is currently facing multiple legal cases surrounding his attempts to interfere with the 2020 election.
