Live Nation Urban and When We All Vote have joined forces to bring voter registration to this year’s Roots Picnic, amplifying the cultural and musical experience curated by GRAMMY® Award-winning hip-hop luminaries, The Roots. The partnership also introduces a sweepstakes offering two free VIP tickets to witness the powerhouse lineup of the Roots Picnic.

When We All Vote will register voters on-site during the two-day festival at The Mann in Fairmount Park, Philadelphia, on June 1-2, 2024. This collaboration follows their successful partnership in 2020, which saw over 35,000 individuals start or complete the voter registration process.

“Bringing voting to the culture is one of When We All Vote’s superpowers. If you’re showing up at Roots Picnic, we want to ensure you’re showing up at the ballot box,” said Beth Lynk, Executive Director of When We All Vote. “When We All Vote has big goals for 2024 to close the race and age voting gaps and we are proud to call The Roots and Live Nation Urban our partners in this work.”

The initiative targets eligible Black voters between 21 and 35 and aims to engage underrepresented communities in the political process. Michelle Obama, Founder and Co-Chair of When We All Vote, previously co-hosted the virtual Roots Picnic, aligning with the shared goal of educating and inspiring communities to exercise their right to vote.

The Roots Picnic lineup features an array of generational voices, including headliners Lil Wayne, Jill Scott, and André 3000, alongside Nas, Tyla, Smino, and more. This collaboration underscores the importance of nonpartisan efforts like When We All Vote, especially as fewer young people identify with political parties. Through voter registration, mobilization, and cultural engagement, When We All Vote strives to close the race and age voting gap, ensuring every voice is heard in shaping the future of democracy.

The Game Criticizes J Cole For “Watering Down” Rap Battles

by

J Cole cannot catch a break. He was roasted by the rap community after he decided to apologize to Kendrick Lamar and take his diss track off streaming platforms. He was clowned by Kanye West on the “Like That” remix despite no longer being involved in the battle. Now, another Compton icon, The Game, has decided to take shots at Jermaine Cole on social media. The Game responded to a comment from Officially Ice by blaming the current state of rap battles on Cole. He really didn’t hold back.

Officially Ice is a panelist on the Joe Budden Podcast, which means he’s entrenched in the battle going on between Drake and Kendrick Lamar. He also remembers what it was like when The Game was going to war with the likes of 50 Cent and G-Unit. He remembers when Game was dropping classic diss songs like “300 Bars N Runnin” in the mid-2000s. “I want one of these rap n**gas to diss Game,” Ice tweeted. “Just so y’all can what a proper diss record looks like.” The Game responded to the post by saying his approach to battles is outdated because it doesn’t follow rules.

The Game Thinks Cole Hurt The Genre By Apologizing

“My level of disrespect has no limit and I can actually rap rap,” Game wrote back. “Fans gone choose up with whatever artist is currently safe for the culture to love as a whole.” The Compton hitmaker went on to denigrate the way things have changed in the last two decades, before turning his attention to J. Cole. “Hip hop/Rap or whatever y’all calling it these days was already watered down,” he asserted. “Then Cole apologized and turned this sh*t to Kool-Aid wit no sugar.” This is actually the first time that The Game has spoken on the J. Cole apology. Given the rapper’s combative history, though, it’s not a surprise to learn he hated it.

The Game may be from the same city as Kendrick Lamar, but the rapper has collaborated with both Dot and Drake in the past. Drake even threw subliminal disses at Lamar when he appeared on the rapper’s 2015 single “100.” The Game posted a Drake quote on Instagram shortly after the battle started, which led many fans to theorize that he was choosing the 6 God’s side. He’s since clarified that he’s a fan of Lamar, and thinks he’s an “incredible” rapper. None of this reverence, however, applies to J. Cole.
