Not all heroes wear capes. That was pretty apparent last night at the 2017 BET Hip Hop Awards, where Eminem lashed out with a venomous freestyle that destroyed Donald Trump’s entire sad existence.
Over 5-minutes Eminem reminded everyone he still possesses those deadly lyrics with a politically-charged, hateful, disrespectful freestyle entirely dedicated to the excuse of a president in Donald Trump. The freestyle also urged his fans that voted for Donnie to pick a side, and made it easier by dissing them too.
“And any fan of mine who’s a supporter of his / I’m drawing in the sand a line, you’re either for or against / And if you can’t decide who you like more and you’re split / On who you should stand beside, I’ll do it for you with this: Fuck you,” he exclaimed. “The rest of America, stand up! / We love our military, and we love our country / But we fucking hate Trump!”
Em went on showing support for Colin and continuing the onslaught of Trump.
“This is his form of distraction,” he rapped. “Plus, he gets an enormous reaction / When he attacks the NFL, so we focus on that / Instead of talking about Puerto Rico or gun reform for Nevada / All these horrible tragedies, he’s bored and would rather / Cause a Twitter storm with the Packers.”

Basketball player turned singer, Victor Oladipo turned heads when he debuted his very first single a few weeks ago. He returns today with his new single, “Rope A Dope” featuring 2 Chainz.
On “Rope A Dope,” Victor raises awareness by addressing things that aren’t going right in America. Saying “Fuck Donald Trump,” without actually saying it, Vic does it “in a positive manner” and stresses the fact that “We need to come together as a country to deal with these problems.”

In just a few days Joey Bada$$ will drop his second studio album, ‘All-Amerikkkan Bada$$’. To promote the forthcoming project, Joey performed the socially-conscious, politically-charged single, “Land of the Free” on “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.”
Rocking a white hoodie and the same “Amerkkkan” flag that is featured on his album cover, the “All-Amerikkkan Bada$$” ran through his single backed by a band, DJ, and red, white, and blue flickering lights.
The “Land of the Free” single talks about the State of the Union, declares Barack Obama wasn’t enough, and attacks Donald Trump by saying he isn’t fit to be the President of the United States. Watch the performance below.

‘All-Amerikkkan Bada$$’ will drop this Friday and include features from J. Cole, ScHoolboy Q, and others.

The Atlanta Falcons may have lost the Superbowl yesterday, but best believe Atlanta will continue to win in this music shit with all the young and old talent pumping out the A. Kap G clicks up with his fellow ATLien, Quavo for “No New Friends.”
The duo explain why they rather stick to their day 1s instead of adding new members to their inner circle. Quavo leads it off by rapping about his lifestyle, hanging in Calabasas, and other rappers biting his flow. Kap follows up rhyming about his haters, 12 (the police), backstabbers, and fake friends.
The artwork for the single is quite interesting, it includes cartoon versions of both Kap G, Quavo, and Donald Trump crossed out. There is no mention of Trump on the song, but still fuck him.
Listen to “No New Friends” below.

It’s been an interesting end of the year for Kanye West. From his hospitalization for stress, depression, exhaustion, and paranoia to his involuntary psychiatric hold to his support and meeting with Donald Trump, it seems he’s been making headlines for all the wrong reasons.
It is now being reported that West will cancel the entire European leg of his “Saint Pablo Tour” after also cancelling the remainder of his US dates, prior to being hospitalized in November.
According to TMZ, the European leg was scheduled to make stops in Germany, France, and the United Kingdom. Fortunately for fans, unlike the remainder of the US dates, there haven’t been any tickets sold for the European leg of the now completed “Saint Pablo Tour.”
Even with the cancellation of the leg, it doesn’t seem like Pablo will lose any money as he has an insurance policy for lost profits and expenses that stem from any “health-related concert cancellations.”

A lot of heads were shaking yesterday when pictures of Kanye West meeting with Donald Trump at the Trump Tower in NYC surfaced. After being hit with backlash from his Trump-supporting comments West dug an even deeper hole amongst fans and peers by meeting with Trump.
West tried to clean up the meeting by saying it was for “change” and to discuss “multicultural issues” like bullying, violence in Chicago, supporting teachers, etc.
John Legend, one of Ye’s good friends and G.O.O.D. Music signees sat down with French media company Clique to discuss the meeting. Legend wasn’t buying the reasoning behind the meeting and viewed it as more of a publicity stunt for Trump.
Legend has been very vocal in his disapproval of Trump since the early primaries and was “very disappointed” Ye met with the President-elect.
“I think the things he’s promised to do have been very concerning for a lot of people, and for Kanye to support that message is very disappointing,” Legend told Clique.
See the full interview below.

Kanye West met with Donald Trump today at the Trump Headquarters in New York City. Shortly after photos and videos surfaced on the Internet, fans and critics displayed their anger on social media.
The meeting shouldn’t have surprised many as it was imminent following West’s comments at his “Saint Pablo” concert in San Jose, Calif. last month.
“If I would’ve voted, I would have voted for Trump,” he said during a rant at the “Saint Pablo” show in San Jose. “I don’t think his approach was just entertaining, because that trivializes it. I actually think that his approach was absolutely genius because it fucking worked.”
Shortly after sharing his support with fans in attendance, Ye cancelled the remainder of his “Saint Pablo Tour” dates due to exhaustion, dehydration, depression, paranoia, and was even placed on involuntary psychiatric hold.
Before posing for a photo in the lobby of the Trump Headquarters, Kanye met privately with Trump for about 15 minutes to discuss several issues. There’s been speculation that Trump may have offered Kanye some kind of “ambassador” position, although it’s unclear as of now.
Kanye went on his Twitter hours after the meeting to confirm he requested to meet with the president-elect to discuss different topics like bullying, violence in Chicago, supporting teachers, and multicultural issues.

After clearing the air, Yeezus hinted at his presidential candidacy in 2024 by simply tweeting “2024.”

What’s your take on the whole situation? Does this ironically make Kanye a “Black Skinhead?” Tell us in the comments below.

Jeezy is celebrating the success of ‘Trap Or Die 3’ by putting out music videos for the songs on the No. 1 album.

In the video Jeezy rocks his infamous snowman gear and a shirt that says, “Stop Blaming Muslims,” a clear shot at president-elect, Donald Trump.

With Donald Trump getting ready to take office on January 20th of next year, many people are in no rush to get the new year started. However, there is a report floating around that Beyoncè and Kendrick Lamar are rumored to be headlining Coachella 2017. (Now that’s something to be excited for.)
HITS Daily Double is reporting that both artists are set to headline the festival, along with another rumored performer, Radiohead. As of now nothing is imminent, but the rumor should create extra hype for festival. Both Yoncè and Lamar have made appearances at the festival before, but never as headliners.
K. Dot performed at the festival in 2012 and appeared as a special guest for both Ice Cube’s set and Anderson .Paak’s last year. Kendrick’s catalalog during Coachella 2012 was nowhere near what it is now, as he was just a mere supporting act with his name on the final row of the lineup list in a tiny letters. See if you could find it below.
Beyoncè has popped up at a couple festivals in the desert before, most recently during her sister Solange’s set in 2014. The Diva also joined her hubby, Jay-Z onstage in 2010.
The official lineup for Coachella 2017 will be released in early January of next year. The event will be at its usual location in Indio, CA. from April 14th-16th and the second weekend April 21st-23rd.
DJ Khaled has already hinted that he will be taking his special cloth talk to the festival. Stay tuned.

It’s no secret Meek Mill doesn’t keep quite when it comes to those dis records. So it comes to no surprise he’s back at it again with his words on Kanye, the fam and his views on Trump becoming the new President-elect plus a few more thoughts he couldn’t keep to himself in the freestyle.
Mill unveils his rap during an interview where he shows clear signs of his feelings towards the success of the recent rappers to date and the way the presidency future will look. In the seven minute clip, the Philly rapper makes multiple references to Yezzy. “Bad bitch with me getting her slay on,” he raps. “Let me in this bitch, I’ma stay on / Any ni**a in the way of that, we pull that K on / Fill his clothes up with holes, tell him get his ‘Ye on, Yeezus.”
Later, he adds: “We ain’t grow up like the Jenners / The only choice we had was fuck with yay’ / Sometimes it’d make me wanna run away / Sometimes I see my people struggle and I want to stay.”
The freestyling continued while Meek held up a “Fuck Donald Trump” foam middle finger in promotion to YG’s Still Brazy tour. Continuing to spit, “Now that Trump won the election,” he raps. “They’re gonna try to box us out like the Mexicans.”
While continuing to touch on the mass incarceration topic. But with the hate comes the praise, in the freestyle Meek glorifies YG his consistent fam.
