Noname’s sharp lyricism goes,

Read in between the line at the crime scene / I ain’t f*cking with the NFL or Jay-Z / Propaganda for the military complex, the same gun that shot lil’ Terry out West / The same gun that shot Senair in the West Bank / We all think the Super Bowl is the best thing,” raps Noname, before she gets at Beyoncé, Ri and K Dot.

However, Noname clarified in her conversation with Ebro that her issues are ideological rather than personal. She expressed,

“I don’t hate this man,” said Noname. “I don’t know Jay-Z. He’s a total stranger. We just have ideological differences, that’s all, which the song was just talking about a lot of things, but definitely complacency from all of us.”

She further explained,

“I think the names got the most focus like, ‘Go Rihanna, go. Go, Beyonce, go,'” she added. “But really that was supposed to be me mimicking the crowd like, ‘This is how y’all look, making all these critiques about folks on the internet but then we’d be running to the shows to go and support.”

The host wanted to know his view about ending Cancel Culture and asked him to make clarifications why he wanted the Cancel Culture to end and Jason said: “Cancel Culture only really exist. It only sticks for black people, right?

“Like white people, they can get cancelled today and tomorrow they can be on a whole another magazine they can be, they can have another fortune 500 companies support them. I’ll give you an example. That woman Aquafina now if you ever drink water Aquafina is the worst water you’re gonna drink. 

“You could suck water out of a toilet and it would taste comparable to aquafina. There’s an Asian actress named Aquafina. I don’t look for her but she apparently was uh cancelled on Twitter for black scent, you know.” 

Don’t forget, Jason Lee recently talked about meeting Beyoncé at Roc Nation brunch. Jason said, “I was walking out with him, and when I got to the exit to get in the car, I saw Julius, Beyoncé’s security.”

Beyonce Described As “Arrogant” Over The “Alien Superstar” Sample On “Renaissance,” Fred Said, “By Right”

Beyoncé is somewhere getting ready for the tour The Renaissance according to a rumour while the album continues to be a mainstay on the charts. The superstar singer’s most recent album has become a worldwide sensation, especially as people adore her incorporation of vintage hit songs. Despite the incident with Kelis, the majority of persons sampled on Renaissance were delighted with their revised changes.

Not just the “Milkshake” musician was disappointed that their song was included on the album with the highest charting single. Right Said Fred criticized Beyoncé for using a sample of their 1992 smash hit “I’m Too Sexy” on her song “Alien Superstar” this week.

The legendary pop duet, who are best known for that song, lamented to The Sun that Beyoncé & Co. didn’t contact them before using their Renaissance sample.

“Normally the artist approaches us but Beyoncé didn’t because she is such an arrogant person,” they told the outlet. “She just had probably thought ‘come and get me’ so we heard about it after the fact when you did. Everyone else, Drake and Taylor Swift, they came to us.”

“To use our melody they need our permission so they send us the demo and we approve it and if so we get a co-write credit,” Right Said Fred added. “With this Beyoncé thing there are 22 writers it’s ridiculous so we would get about 40 [pounds].”

The pair added that “there is so little money now in the actual sales, people like friends, golfing partners, engineers, bookers and the guy who brings the coke, they all want a cut.”

“There is nothing we can do. It is sh*t. You are going to get into a conversation with someone who has a lot more presence and power and money than we do. And that won’t go well.”

Beyoncé’s team promptly took the sample down when Kelis complained about it. It’s unknown if “Alien Superstar” will undergo any changes.

Kevin Gates Defends “Super General” Lyrics About Beyoncé That Are Sexually Explicit

Over the course of a recent interview on The Breakfast Club, Kevin Gates persisted in defending his explicit “Super General” freestyle. Gates raps about having sex fantasies with Beyoncé in the song, going into explicit detail.

Regarding the song, Gates clarified that he does not intend to offend Jay-Z, to whom the former member of Destiny’s Child is married.

“I’m sitting in a trap out around the monsters,” he reflected. “Just looking at TV… saying ‘Man, I swear to God.’ When I said that, everybody feel like that. They just scared of saying it. I ain’t scared to say it.”

“If somebody said that about your lady, your queen?” Turning the focus back to Gates, DJ Envy questioned.

Gates replied: “You’re supposed to. That will feel good. You supposed to fantasize about what I got. Even your dreams every night, [you know] yeah, I’m punching [expletive] her living your dreams. I don’t want nothing that don’t nobody else want.”

Gates even claims in the song’s lyrics that he doesn’t intend to be disrespectful to Jay-Z: “Ain’t no disrespect to Jigga, met through Nipsey, that’s my n***a/ Don’t know if they into swingin’, Beyoncé need to let me hit her/Make her p##s all over this d##k, respectfully, her body shiver.”

Azealia Banks Tags Beyoncé A Creep Who Observes Everything She Does

Azealia Banks is currently receiving a lot of well-deserved accolades. Her early work undoubtedly fits under the genre of house music because she has always been a supporter of it. Some fans think Banks has significantly influenced house music and that Drake and Beyoncé’s most recent incursions into the genre can be credited to Banks’ influence.

In light of this, it appears that Banks is not a big fan of Beyoncé’s song “Break My Soul.” A few days ago, Banks requested her followers on Instagram to cease creating mashups of her songs that also include “Break My Soul.” She merely uttered the word “They are horrible,” which is a pretty strong sign that Beyoncé’s most recent album isn’t her style.

In a series of Instagram stories, Banks is currently attacking Beyoncé mercilessly. Banks made a reference to a previous piece when it was discovered that Beyoncé listened to Azealia while coming up with the ideas for her most recent song. Beyoncé claimed numerous other artists as influences, including David Asante, Mista Jam, and MNEK. Banks does not like this very much since she believes Beyoncé does not know enough about the genre. The fact that the “Break My Soul” singer failed to include Donna Summer in her list of influences is the epitome of this.

“Why feel the need, after 13 years of my career, say you’re ‘brainstorming’ with six people to my early records… which are miles beyond whatever flaccid and insincere attempt you just made to try for an attention grab during pride month?” Banks stated. “When you don’t give a damn about the gays any other time of the year?”

Banks Calls Beyonce A Creep

Banks didn’t stop there; she continued by launching a barrage of voice memos on her Instagram story in which she claimed Beyoncé was constantly attempting to completely discredit her.  “Beyoncé’s been trying to write me out of my own narrative for years,” she then said you’re a joke” to the Queen B, and “you’re trying to erase my contributions to house music, dance music…you’re a fucking creep and you watch everything I do.”you

As a result of his collaborations with practically all the major figures in the music business, Brown has gone on to become a legend. When he was at Million Dollaz Worth of Game, he acknowledged that there is one collaboration he has yet to finalize.

He stated: “Probably Beyoncé…only because of what that would look like, us really do a dope song with both of us dancing in it. That would be dope, like a check off my to-do list. She’s probably the only one I haven’t worked with. I’m not turning it down.”

Although it’s unclear if this will happen anytime soon, both singers’ supporters have been expressing opinions on the possibility.

Pusha T Speaks About Kid Cudi And Kanye West’s Feud

Pusha T’s latest album is out, and it features what appears to be Kanye West and Kid Cudi’s final collaboration. In the middle of the Donda 2 launch, the two had a public spat. Cudi retaliated by labelling Ye a “dinosaur” after Ye confirmed that Cudi would not be on the project.

Cudi said he cleared his verse on Pusha T’s “Rock N Roll,” which also features Ye, before the release of It’s Almost Dry. He made it clear, that he and Ye are no longer in good standing and will not be together in the future. “Hey! So I know some of you heard about the song I got w Pusha,” he stated. “I did this song a year ago when I was still cool w Kanye. I am not cool w that man. He’s not my friend and I only cleared the song for Pusha cuz that’s my guy. This is the last song u will hear me on w Kanye -Scott.”

King Push T Speaks About Cudi And Kanye’s Collab

 

Pusha T expressed his thanks for his ties with both Cudi and Kanye in an interview with Vulture, but added that it’s a strange situation to watch happen. “It fucking sucks. You know Cudi is my fucking brother to the end. Just navigating these relationships, this brotherhood, the arguing … it gets public,” he said. It’s one thing for us to argue. We all argue — that’s not a problem. It gets out there, whether it’s Ye bickering first, or Cudi coming back with what he says. It’s super–fucked up.”

Push recalled the studio session for “Rock N Roll,” which included a sample of Beyoncé’s “1+1,” saying that “everyone was so happy” when they got there.

“The day we made this record, everybody was so fucking happy. Ye’s chopping the Beyoncé sample. Cudi happens to come in that day. We see each other, and I hadn’t seen him in a while. He’s like, ‘I gotta get on a record. Are you crazy?’ Cudi did, like, three or four different references. Beyoncé cleared the sample,” he continued. “There was so much great energy around the making of that record. And, you know, time passes, and issues come up.  He did what he did for his bro, and I love him for that.”

Doja Cat Perfects Impersonation of Beyonce

/0 Comments/in /by

Doja Cat perfected Impersonations of Beyonce, Oprah, Presley, and so on.

Doja Cat is known as a gender-blending artist. Much more, she’s becoming more impeccable. Doja Cat on Tik Tok played one of Tik Tok’s application games recently. The game allows you to create an impression of a celebrity selected at random. 

She did several tasks which include doing her best shots on Oprah, Samuel L. Jackson, Kevin Hart, Drew Barrymore, Elves Presley, Al Pacino, and so on. Cat did every one of them uniquely in a goofy manner either by word or a few seconds facial expressions. 

For Presley’s impression, she looked up and lowered her chin as she captured Presley, King of Rock & Roll’s smoldering look. 

Don’t forget what she did recently during the Super Bowl LVI Taco Bell commercial. She said later about the commercial: “It’s no secret I’m a major Taco Bell fan which has made my role with this campaign all the more fun.” 

“I’ve enjoyed every moment of this campaign, especially the ones where we get to break all the rules and look forward to continuing collaborating with the brand,” Cat said.
