Action Bronson Is Absurd As Ever On “Nourish A Thug” And It’s Awesome

by

Action Bronson is a charismatic guy. It’s the reason he’s been able to overcome his staggering vocal similarity to Ghostface Killah. It’s also the reason he’s landed roles in blockbuster comedies and gang epics opposite Robert De Niro. None of this would have happened, of course, were it not for Bronson’s ability to showcase his charisma in his music. He’s a lyrical Jackson Pollack, combining bizarre imagery with obscure references that somehow make sense when the verse is over. And he just treated fans to another splatter-style single, “Nourish a Thug.”

Bronsolino myth-making is on full display in the song’s opening lines. “It’s the doctor,” he raps. “Here to f*cking take your temperature the old way.” From there, he goes on absurdist spiels about exfoliating in a lake, breaking out of a cobra clutch, and watching the Tyson Fury fight with two female friends. There’s a random segment, also, where he threatens (?) to pull up at someone’s house and have Xzbit place a fish tank in his civic. It wouldn’t be an Action Bronson song without an obscure film reference, and he sneaks it in the very last line. “Ride around the city like the bad lieutenant, b*tch,” he concludes. It’s a harrowing but hilarious reference for anybody who’s seen the 1992 film of the same name.

Action Bronson Spits Over An 80s-Style Instrumental

Tying all these bars together is the lush instrumental. Action Bronson has always leaned towards unique samples and vibes, and “Nourish a Thug” is no different. It sounds like the sort of music that would play during a sting operation on Miami Vice. A little cheesy and a lot of synths. “Nourish a Thug” would’ve fit perfectly on Bronson’s 2020 album Only for Dolphins. As it stands, this is the first single for what we can only assume is the rapper’s new project. If the rest of the project matches the quality on display here, we are in for a treat.

What are your thoughts on “Nourish a Thug” by Action Bronson? Is this the rapper’s best single yet? Do you like the beat? Are you excited for Action Bronson’s upcoming album?

Quotable Lyrics:

I’ll pull up to your crib with Xzibit
And have him put a f*cking fish tank in the civic
Slam dunk on two midgets cause its physics
In 96 hit the Blockbuster in the blizzard
95 m5 b*tches doing drag on hentai
9 million in the Rimowa

Robert De Niro Faces Off Against Donald Trump Supporters At President Biden’s News Conference

by

Robert De Niro is no stranger to sparing with Trump supporters. Outside the Manhattan courtroom where Donald Trump is on trial in his hush-money case, President Joe Biden’s campaign had a news conference. Actor Robert De Niro and two law enforcement officials who protected the Capitol from the Jan. 6, 2021, mob warned of the risks associated with re-electing the former president. “The Twin Towers fell just over here, just over there. This part of the city was like a ghost town, but we vowed we would not allow terrorists to change our way of life. … I love this city. I don’t want to destroy it. Donald Trump wants to destroy not only the city, but the country, and eventually he can destroy the world,” De Niro said.

The legendary actor continued, “I don’t mean to scare you. No, no, wait — maybe I do mean to scare you If Trump returns to the White House, you can kiss these freedoms goodbye that we all take for granted. And elections — forget about it. That’s over, that’s done. If he gets in, I can tell you right now, he will never leave.”

Robert De Niro Has War Of Words With Trump Supporters

On his way back to his car following the press conference, De Niro got into an altercation with some pro-Trump demonstrators who screamed at him that he’s a “little punk,” a “paid sell-out” to the Democratic National Committee, a “wannabe,” and “nobody.” De Niro did not back down. “You’re not going to intimidate,” De Niro replied. “That’s what Trump does. … We are going to fight back. We’re trying to be gentlemen in this world, the Democrats. You are gangsters. You are gangsters!” A protester yelled, “You’re washed up,” to which De Niro swiftly replied, “F— you.”

Additionally, the Trump team held a press conference where they ridiculed the Biden campaign for hiring De Niro. Karoline Leavitt, the spokeswoman, attacked “elitist out-of-touch Hollywood actors like Robert De Niro who have no idea the real problems that people in this city and across this country are facing.” Furthermore, a new advertisement starring Robert De Niro was unveiled by the Biden campaign on Friday and will be shown on television and internet platforms in states that are considered battlegrounds. Additionally, De Niro was nominated for an Oscar this year for his work on Martin Scorsese’s Killers of the Flower Moon. Overall, Robert De Niro isn’t backing down to anyone.

Nas Will Collaborate With Robert De Niro On First Ever “De Niro Con”

by

Nas was one of the quintessential mafioso rappers during the 1990s. He dove headfirst into mobster iconography during the second half of the decade, so it makes perfect sense that he’d have an affinity for one of the most iconic mobster actors of all time: Robert De Niro. Nas and De Niro have worked on a project together, but they have crossed paths several times over the years. They’ll do so again at De Niro Con, an upcoming festival dedicated to the actor’s career.

De Niro Con is an event put on by the Tribeca Film Festival, which was co-founded by the actor. It will take place June 14-16 in New York and feature Q&As moderated by some of De Niro’s peers and fans. This is where Nas fits in. The Queens rapper has been tapped to moderate a Q&A between De Niro and Martin Scorsese for a screening of their 1973 film Mean Streets.

It’s a full circle moment for both Nas and De Niro, as Tribeca introduced the Nas documentary Time Is Illmatic back in 2014. Nas praised De Niro during the doc’s after party, claiming that he played scenes that were close to some of the rapper’s own experiences. “I want to thank Robert De Niro,” he stated. “He plays me in the movies.” De Niro returned the praise, though he admitted that he was not familiar with Nas songs. He’d undoubtedly be touched by the number of time he’s popped up in the rapper’s music. It’s difficult to keep count.

Casino, directed by Scorsese and starring De Niro, was the template for Nas’ “Street Dreams” video. Then there’s Once Upon a Time In America starring De Niro, which was sampled on the Nas-led Firm album. His most acclaimed film role, 1998’s Belly, saw him and DMX play criminals who were lifelong friends, much like the central dynamic in Mean Streets. That’s not even getting into all the Goodfellas references that appear in the rapper’s lyrics. The Q&A takes place June 15 at the Beacon Theater.

Donald Trump Slams Robert De Niro As A “Low IQ Individual” After Criticism

by

Donald Trump has responded to Robert De Niro saying he would never play the former president in a movie with a scathing post on his website, Truth Social. Appearing on Real Time With Bill Maher on Friday, the Killers of The Flower Moon star explained that he sees “nothing redeemable” in Trump.

“Robert De Niro has a terminal case of Trump Derangement Syndrome” Trump fired back. “Such a stupid sounding guy, a low IQ individual!” It’s far from the first time De Niro has spoken ill of Trump. In 2016, he admitted he’d like to “punch him in the face.”

As for De Niro’s most recent remarks, he said in full: “He’s such a mean, nasty, hateful person. I’d never play him as an actor, because I can’t see any good in him. Nothing, nothing at all. Nothing redeemable in him. I just don’t want to feel the way I did. And many of us don’t.” He added, referring to 2016. “It can’t be. It cannot be. If he wins the election, you won’t be on this show anymore. He’ll come looking for me. [There will] be things that happen that none of us can imagine. That’s what happens in that kind of a dictatorship, which is what he says [he wants]. Let’s believe him. Take him at his word.”

Robert De Niro’s Grandson Has Passed Away At 19

by

Leandro De Niro Rodriguez, grandson of the great Robert De Niro, has died, according to a TMZ report. He was 19 years old. His mother, Drena De Niro, confirmed his passing on her Instagram on Sunday night. “My beautiful sweet angel,” she said in her post, “I don’t know how to live without you, but I’ll try to go on and spread the love and light that you so made me feel in getting to be your mama. You were so deeply loved and appreciated, and I wish that love alone could have saved you.”

Law enforcement told TMZ reporters Rodriguez was in his NYC apartment Sunday afternoon. He was sitting in a chair, not responding. A friend found him after a few days of zero contact from Rodriguez. The most recent update from law enforcement is that they are investigating this as a possible drug overdose. They discovered drugs and drug paraphernalia alongside the body.

“I’m deeply distressed by the passing of my beloved grandson Leo,” De Niro said on Monday. “We’re greatly appreciative of the condolences from everyone. We ask that we please be given privacy to grieve our loss of Leo.” The 79-year-old actor was most recently filming in January of this year for The Wise Guys. However, he is at the moment not filming anything, giving him proper time and space to grieve this tragic situation. De Niro also let slip in May that he’d welcomed his seventh child into the world, which, at 79, makes for an interesting challenge.

As for Leandro De Niro Rodriguez, his acting career was just beginning at the time of his passing. He starred in A Star Is Born and Cabaret Maxime, both in 2018. He played the son of Bradley Cooper’s character’s best friend in A Star Is Born. Dave Chappelle played his father in the movie. At just 19 years old, Rodriguez’s death is devastating for the De Niro family.

French Montana Documentary Has Star-Studded Premiere

by

French Montana was born Karim Kharbouch. Growing up in Morocco in the late 1980s, he idolized soccer and rap music. Then, out of nowhere, he found himself in the South Bronx. He would not find his breakout until the mid-2000s, with “Choppa Choppa Down” and Excuse My French. His journey from undocumented immigrant to worldwide star is one of hardship and grit. Recently, Montana announced that he would be partnering with a charity that helps provide information about pursuing citizenship for undocumented immigrants.

Today, Montana is one of the best-known rappers and the highest-streamed African-born artist of all time. He is also a two-time platinum recording artist. However, he is also best known for his encounters with law enforcement and criminal involvements. Montana’s story was turned into a tell-all documentary, executive produced by Drake and Diddy. Furthermore, it was revealed that the documentary would be premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival, thanks to Roberto De Niro.
