Andre 3000 Addresses Backlash To His Controversial Comments On Aging In Hip-Hop

by

Andre 3000 has spoken out on the backlash to his explanation for not continuing to make hip-hop music as he gets older. Speaking with Crack Magazine for a new cover story, the legendary Outkast rapper discussed his controversial comments on aging in hip-hop. “I’ve heard some rappers reply to what I’ve said about age, and I have to ask, ‘What are you rapping about?’” he began.

“Some are the best braggadocious rappers in the world, and we love them for that — but it’s so much easier to do that for the rest of your life. I don’t necessarily rap like that. Our formulas are different. He doesn’t know what it takes for me to do what I do. I don’t know what it takes for him to say the same thing over and over again and still keep it creative. But I love him for doing it.”

Andre originally shared the take during an interview with GQ from last year after the release of his instrumental album, New Blue Sun. “I’m 48 years old,” he said when asked why he isn’t rapping. “And not to say that age is a thing that dictates what you rap about, but in a way it does. And things that happen in my life, like, what are you talking about? ‘I got to go get a colonoscopy.’ What are you rapping about? ‘My eyesight is going bad.’”

Ebro Darden was among the many users to respond to Meek’s take. He wrote: “The President has a staff of 1800 people. I don’t think any President is an expert on all topics.” Another fan disagreed with Meek: “If his age is a problem, then keep the problems coming because he has been extremely effective. He has my vote!” One more user replied: “Bruh, what? Look at his record, he’s had a better presidency so far than the last 3 presidents. Yall gotta stop misleading people. If you don’t like him, cool. But to say he’s too old? He’s getting the job done at a high rate. His age hasn’t stopped anything…”

Jada Pinkett Smith Thinks She’ll “Take Care” Of Will Smith In Old Age, Was “Hurt” By Chris Rock’s Oscars Slap Jokes

by

During a recent interview, Jada Pinkett Smith opened up about her relationship with her husband, Will Smith. She revealed that the two of them have actually been separated for quite some time, and kept their split a secret from the public. According to her, they’ve led “completely separate lives” since 2016.

She went on to describe how the two of them continue to have a “deep love” for one another, despite no longer being “romantically together.” While their end goal was to eventually divorce, she claims it never “felt right” for them. “We don’t know why. But here we are,” she says. Though they’re taking some time to figure out what’s next for their relationship, Jada believes they’ll reunite at some point in the future. She spoke about her beliefs during a chat with The Times recently, claiming that she thinks her estranged husband will need someone to care for him. “I think eventually we will [live together again.] I really do,” she explained. “Will’s getting old. I’m staying quite young, but it’s getting apparent to me that he’s gonna need someone to take care of him.“

Rock joked about the slap in his comedy special Selective Outrage, which Jada says “hurt.”

“I remember my heart piercing, my heart cracking, and I remember my feelings being so hurt,” she explained. “And then I remember being able to smile and wish him well at the same time.” What do you think of Jada Pinkett Smith’s response to Chris Rock joking about Will Smith slapping him at the 2022 Oscars?

Cam’ron Refutes “Old” Troll Jokes: “I Had A Million When I Was 20, How Much You Got?”

by

Cam’ron is a hip-hop veteran, one that helped define the genre in the East Coast in the 2000s and remains a pivotal voice in the culture. Nowadays, it’s through a bit of a different lens, given the massive success of his sports talk show with Ma$e, It Is What It Is. Moreover, it’s still great to see the Dipset member be a part of the game, whether that’s occasional performances, releases, or just being part of the conversation. Still, with that experience and knowledge gained over a long time, plenty of people will try to downplay your impact, especially those that don’t know your full history. As such, he carved out a time slot of It Is What It Is to address haters calling him old.

“Listen, let me tell you something about being older,” Cam’ron’s remarks about being called a dinosaur began. “The n***as be like, ‘Oh, you’re old this, that, and the third.’ All older means is I know everything you know and more. I look just as good as you, and I f**k the b***hes that’s your age, and I get more money than you, n***a.

“So you can get the f**k out my face with that s**t, n***a,” Cam’ron continued his hilarious and animated rant. “I’m talking to them n***as in the early 20s. I’m not talking teenage; n***as 20 to 25. ‘Oh, n***as old.’ I had a million when I was 20, shawty, how much you got? Still getting mad millions and I look better than you because you on drugs You know what’s dope about this? I could bone your girlfriend and your mother. So be easy talking to me when you 20 to 25 talking that older s**t. I love it here.”

Meanwhile, the New York MC can be just as cutting and unfiltered in his football analysis, as Russell Wilson recently learned the hard way. Cam had the bright idea for him to dump Ciara in order to improve his game, which seems like quite the extreme solution. He and Ma$e make for a great on-air team, and whether it’s sports or music-related, seeing them find this platform has been a treat. For more news and the latest updates on Cam’ron, stay logged into HNHH.
