Tyler The Creator Explains Why He’d Ban Podcasts If He Were President

December 11, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Tyler The Creator says that if he were President of the United States, he would ban the use of podcast mics. He explained his frustration with how many people confidently share their opinions on music through the medium of podcasts during an interview with Billboard published on Wednesday.

The topic arose while discussing Tyler’s newest album, Chromakopia. The outlet explained that he enjoys engaging with fans on social media, but not when they simply say something is good or bad. “Expound on that f–king thought, b–ch,” Tyler says of the rampant opinions. “If I was president, the first thing I would do is take podcast mics away from n—as.”

Elsewhere in the interview, Tyler discussed his appearance at Kendrick Lamar’s Los Angeles concert, The Pop Out: Ken & Friends. “I wasn’t even supposed to go — I was in Atlanta working on this album,” Tyler explained. “But I landed that morning and couldn’t miss this s–t. And I don’t even get FOMO at all, n—a — I’ll go to sleep. But I’m cool with Kenny and Dave [Free] and Tim [Hinshaw] from Free Lunch. So I went home, showered and ran straight there.” At the event, Tyler performed his iconic 2019 hit, “Earfquake,” off of his acclaimed album, Igor. “I genuinely think I’m better at my R&B singing s–t as a whole than my rap s–t,” he added. “And those are usually my biggest records.”

Tyler The Creator Poses For Billboard

Tyler dropped Chromakopia as his eighth studio album back in October. It features collaborations with Daniel Caesar, Doechii, GloRilla, Lil Wayne, Childish Gambino, Solange, Schoolboy Q, Sexyy Red, Thundercat, Baby Keem, and more. Check out Tyler The Creator’s photoshoot for Billboard below.

Bandman Kevo Is Rocking A New Donald Trump Tattoo After His Win For U.S. President

November 7, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Bandman Kevo is known for his often controversial or antic-heavy behavior, something that surprisingly shows up in his choice of ink for many online users who come across his social media presence. For example, he recently got a back leg tattoo of Donald Trump following the convicted Republican’s victory in the United States presidential election this week. The artist themselves posted the artwork, which also features a MAGA hat. As you can imagine, both the artist’s comments section and the one in the post down below reacted quite divisively to this. Some celebrated this tribute, whereas others lamented the results and this tribute.

However, as alluded to before, this is far from the only tattoo that Bandman Kevo got that ruffled a lot of feathers online. Back in June, he got leg tattoos of various rich white men, namely Mark Zuckerberg, Mark Cuban, Elon Musk, and Jeff Bezos. As such, this Trump tattoo should really come as no surprise. Still, it didn’t answer fans’ questions as to why Bandman would want to portray these individuals in the first place, as these new inks don’t really come with much explanation. Elsewhere, it’s up to online users to speculate.

In fact, this isn’t even the first tattoo that Bandman Kevo reportedly got depicting Donald Trump, and this double down probably cost plenty of money and energy for something that an artist already plastered onto his body. So we are still no closer to finding out why exactly this support is so strong, but we’re sure that the recent presidential victory spurred this. The artist themselves seemed to express their support for No. 47, so it was likely a two-way street. At the end of the day, it’s just someone’s tattoo, and not much else… Explicitly, that is.

Sadly, Bandman Kevo dealt with some heartbreaking news this year that no political victory can assuage. He revealed via social media that his 15-year-old son passed away due to gun violence earlier in 2024. Our condolences are with Kevo and his family during this difficult time. Hopefully 2025 yields more positive developments and events for him that don’t involve tragedy.

Meek Mill Is Looking For Joe Biden Amid Conspiracy Theory That The President Is Dead

July 22, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Meek Mill wants to know where Joe Biden is after the President decided to drop out of his campaign for re-election in 2024. Taking to X (formerly Twitter) on Monday, he wrote: “Where tf is Joe Biden at?” His question comes amid numerous rumors about the President, including a conspiracy that there was a coup to overthrow him as well as one that he’s actually dead.

Fans of Meek weren’t happy with him playing into conspiracy theories about the President. One user wrote back: “Does it matter? Were you looking for him before he announced he’s stepping out of the race? Or are you just asking because you saw other people asking?” Another user remarked: “He has COVID, he is quarantining at his house. Google is free. Where’s Michael Rubin at to tell you to bunny hop?”

Kamala Harris Steps Out After Joe Biden Drops Out Of Presidential Race

US Vice President Kamala Harris (R) arrives for an event honoring National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) championship teams from the 2023-2024 season, on the South Lawn of the White House in Washington, DC on July 22, 2024. Joe Biden on July 21, 2024, dropped out of the US presidential election and endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris as the Democratic Party’s new nominee, in a stunning move that upends an already extraordinary 2024 race for the White House. Biden, 81, said he was acting in the “best interest of my party and the country” by bowing to weeks of pressure after a disastrous June debate against Donald Trump stoked worries about his age and mental fitness.

Biden made his announcement on Sunday afternoon. “While it has been my intention to seek reelection, I believe it is in the best interest of my party and the country for me to stand down and to focus solely on fulfilling my duties as President for the remainder of my term,” Biden wrote in his statement on X. “I will speak to the Nation later this week in more detail about my decision.” He also endorsed Harris to run in his stead.

Stephen A Smith Reacts To Joe Biden Dropping Out Of The Presidential Race

July 22, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Stephen A Smith has been quite vocal about politics as of late. Although he has a strong distaste for Donald Trump, he has also had his own issues with President Joe Biden. Overall, he has felt as though Biden is not of a strong or sound mind and therefore, should not be running. This analysis was especially common after Biden’s horrific debate performance against Trump about a month ago. On Sunday, Joe Biden announced that he would be stopping his Presidential campaign. Moreover, he even endorsed Kamala Harris to take his place.

Following this news, Stephen A Smith was spotted out and about at a park by reporter Joshua Needelman. Smith was subsequently asked to give his thoughts on all of this. “It was long overdue. … On the Democratic side, it’s time for everyone to get behind Kamala Harris,” Smith stated. Needless to say, his thoughts on the topic are pretty clear. Having said that, Kamala Harris may have some issues getting all of the support necessary. As you can imagine, some Democrats see the nomination as for the taking, especially with the polls not being extremely favorable towards Harris.

Stephen A Smith Gives His Take

You never know who you’re going to meet while out reporting.

Just ran into @stephenasmith at a park. His thoughts on Biden’s decision to step down:

“It was long overdue. … On the Democratic side, it’s time for everyone to get behind Kamala Harris.” pic.twitter.com/rnCGmhxYFg

— Joshua Needelman (@JoshNeedelman) July 21, 2024

No matter what, this is going to be a divisive issue. Harris was part of the Biden administration and will have to defend some of the administration’s decisions if she is the nominee. Overall, it is going to be a tough task ahead for the former California senator. Only time will tell whether or not she can secure the nomination and subsequently defeat Donald Trump.

Let us know what you think of this take from Stephen A., in the comments section down below. Did you expect the President to step out of the race? Do you believe that Kamala Harris can defeat Donald Trump, or will another candidate need to step in? Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the world.

Joe Biden Receives Repeated Calls To Drop Out Of Presidential Race

July 11, 2024 by newhiphopnews

President Joe Biden has received a whole lot of scrutiny over the last few weeks. Overall, this is mostly thanks to his horrific debate performance against Donald Trump. While Trump wasn’t exactly performing to the best of his abilities, Biden appeared to be in a bad state. There have been signs of cognitive decline, and his debate performance was one of his worst looks yet. Democrats have started to freak out, although Biden remains of the mindset that he is going to stay in the race.

According to CNN, Democrats like Nancy Pelosi have been critical of Biden and his choice to stay in the fight. Moreover, even George Clooney has made some strong comments about the President. This is significant considering how Clooney is a major donor to Biden. Despite all of this, the President is not dropping out of the race, at least for now. The Democratic National Convention is in August, which means there is still time for Biden to come out and drop out before it’s too late.

Joe Biden Refuses To Back Down

Despite the recent criticism towards Biden, there are certainly those who have defended him. Meanwhile, others are considering potential replacements for Biden. For instance, Kamala Harris, Gavin Newsom, and Gretchen Whitmer are all names that are floating around right now. Only time will tell whether or not any of them are forced to answer the call.

Let us know what you think about all of this, in the comments section down below. Do you believe that Joe Biden should step down from the Presidential race? Do you believe that he will step down or is it just not going to happen, at this point? Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the world.

Toure Blames Rappers’ Support For Donald Trump On Younger Generation’s Lack Of “Political Spine”

March 6, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Toure wants to know why a number of rappers have voiced their support for Donald Trump over the years. Kanye West, Lil Pump, Kodak Black, and many more artists in hip-hop have all controversially praised the former president. Toure gave his take in a video on TikTok.

“What in the Uncle Tom is going on?” he asked, as noted by AllHipHop. From there, he provided some ideas such as contrarianism, misinformation, and Trump’s reputation for being strong. He added: “But in the question of rappers and Trump, we also have to account for this. Modern Hip-Hop does not really have, for the most part, the political spine that those of us who loved 80s and 90s Hip-Hop had. I don’t say this to criticize the modern generation, and I know some rappers now are political, but the assumption that Hip-Hop will be progressive and political as we saw so often in the 80s and 90s, that world doesn’t exist really.”

Lil Pump Speaks At Donald Trump Rally

Despite Trump’s popularity, plenty of voices in pop culture have spoken out against him. Earlier this week, Charles Barkley threatened to punch any Black person he sees wearing a t-shirt with Trump’s mugshot on it. “First of all, I’m just gonna say this: if I see a Black person walking around with a Trump mug shot, I’m gonna punch him in the face,” he said on CNN while speaking with Gayle King.

Killer Mike Proposes Child Support Change To Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

February 20, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Killer Mike has an idea to change the way child support works in the United States and proposed the solution to Robert F. Kennedy Jr. In a video shared on YouTube, Mike speaks with the presidential candidate at a barbershop in Atlanta.

Mike began by clarifying that his jumping in the video was not an official endorsement of the candidate. He then proposed his change for child support: “This is the two-year plan: first two years are debt free. You don’t have to pay anything back so she doesn’t have to drag him into court and the court can say you owe us money for investing in your child in food programs and head start programs because in those two years he has the option to then go to a trade school. In my community, the girls are going to college and graduating. They have no men to marry because the boys are not going to college in the same way.” By the end of the conversation ends, Kennedy jokes, “Do you wanna be Vice President?”

Killer Mike Speaks In Support Of Bernie Sanders

While Mike isn’t endorsing Kennedy, he previously defended Ice Cube for posing in a picture with the controversial figure. “@icecube helped my generation gain knowledge of self and be fiercely proud of being black in AmeriKKKa while providing an example of what self motivation and determination can do from Music to movies to the Big 3,” Killer Mike wrote on social media at the time. “He is an example of ‘A black man can.’ I admire love and respect. Thank U Cube.” Check out Mike’s conversation with Kennedy below.

Killer Mike Speaks With RFK Jr.

The comments come after Mike won three awards at the Grammys, earlier this month, including the highly-coveted Album of the Year honor. Be on the lookout for further updates on Killer Mike on HotNewHipHop.

Jimmy Carter Net Worth 2024: What Is The Former President Of The United States Worth?

February 19, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Jimmy Carter, the 39th President of the United States, has led a life marked by public service, humanitarian efforts, and a commitment to peace and human rights. As of 2024, according to CAknowledge, Carter’s net worth is estimated at $15 million. This reflects the financial remuneration from his time in office and post-presidential endeavors and his significant impact on global humanitarian efforts and peacekeeping initiatives. Carter’s journey from a peanut farmer in Plains, Georgia, to the Nobel Peace Prize laureate is a testament to his dedication to improving the world.

From Naval Service To The Oval Office

Jimmy Carter’s early career was defined by his service in the United States Navy. He served with distinction until 1953. Moreover, Carter took over the family peanut farming business. This demonstrated his understanding for leadership and hard work. However, his foray into politics began a significant chapter in his life. Carter’s political journey, which led him from the Georgia State Senate to becoming Governor of Georgia and eventually winning the presidency in 1976, showcased his commitment to civil rights, energy conservation, and diplomatic peace.

Presidency & Diplomatic Achievements

Carter’s presidency (1977-1981) was characterized by notable diplomatic achievements. These included the historic Camp David Accords, which brought peace between Israel and Egypt. Yet, he faced challenges such as the energy crisis and the Iran hostage situation. Carter’s focus on diplomacy, human rights, and economic reforms marked his tenure in office. His post-presidential career further solidified his legacy as a global humanitarian and advocate for democracy, public health, and conflict resolution through his work with The Carter Center.

Founded in 1982 by Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter, The Carter Center has been instrumental in advancing human rights. It has also aided in alleviating human suffering worldwide. Further, the Center’s efforts in eradicating diseases, monitoring elections, and promoting mental health have had a profound impact on millions of lives across the globe. Even into his nineties, Carter’s hands-on involvement in these initiatives underscores his unwavering commitment to service and humanitarianism.

Legacy & Influence

Jimmy Carter’s legacy is not only defined by his political and humanitarian achievements but also by his personal integrity and faith. As an author of numerous books, a Nobel Peace Prize laureate, and a tireless advocate for peace and human rights, Carter has inspired generations to engage in community service and global citizenship. His approach to life and leadership, emphasizing compassion, humility, and the belief in the power of diplomacy, continues to resonate with people worldwide.

Black Music Action Coalition Calls For Action From Joe Biden

February 19, 2024 by newhiphopnews

The Black Music Action Coalition is calling on President Joe Biden to use his executive authority to pass racial equality and reparative justice legislation. BMAC co-founder and CEO Willie “Prophet” Stiggers explained the work the group wants done in a statement noted by AllHipHop.

“We launched BMAC in 2020 and one of our first initiatives was calling for a racial justice commitment within the first 100 days of President Biden being in office through the power of narrative change content and a national coalition,” BMAC co-founder and CEO Willie “Prophet” Stiggers said. From there, he brought up a lack of justice for George Floyd and Breonna Taylor and noted the inaction during Biden’s first 100 days in office.

He further said: “As part of a call for a U.S. Truth Commission and Restorative Justice, we supported ‘17 More Ways You Could Be Killed If You Are Black in America’ with artists like Alicia Keys, Mary J. Blige, Khalid and Quavo, as well as ‘The Resolution’ with activists like Billie Eilish, Brittany Packnett Cunningham and Dr. Marcus Anthony Hunter. Despite the largest outcry for racial justice in our nation’s history, the first 100 days of the Biden Administration passed without any racial justice policy. We received no justice for George Floyd, Breonna Taylor and the countless other lives that were lost.” They want a restoration of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 and for the administration to start a commission to study and consider reparations for African Americans.

“In this crucial election year, we are joining the urgent demand for President Biden to move on executive actions and executive orders aligning with and supporting legislative efforts to achieve racial equity and reparative justice,” Stiggers continued. “We will do everything we can to utilize our resources and be a true bridge between the creative community and lawmakers to help push this fight forward.” Be on the lookout for further updates on Joe Biden on HotNewHipHop.
