Elon Musk Doubles Down In Support Of Kanye West’s Presidential Run

This past Independence Day, Kanye West revealed that he would be entering to run for President of the United States this year and was instantaneously met with support from billionaire tech entrepreneur, Elon Musk. Earlier this month, both West and Musk met at the Tesla CEO’s home to possibly discuss future business endeavors that could possibly innovate and alter the socio, economic, and political realms as the masses know them today. In recent months, both parties have launched several different ventures that will further solidify their legacies as some of the most polarizing entities of this current generation. 

Elon Musk’s SpaceX corporation was able to successfully launch two astronauts into space aboard the company’s engineered, Falcon 9 shuttle. While Kanye West has landed a ten-year mega-deal with major clothing retail company, GAP and has released some unexpected music in the form of multiple freestyles provided to Forbes Magazine. While it has been previously reported that Elon Musk has recanted his support for Kanye’s upcoming Presidential campaign, the 49-year-old billionaire engineer has revealed that he’s still riding with Mr. West as a potential Presidential candidate in this year’s upcoming election.

Page Six was able to obtain an official statement from Musk declaring his support for Kanye West’s Presidential bid stating,

“Kanye explained afterward some of the reasoning behind why he said what he said. It makes more sense than many people, including me, realized. I have not dropped my support for Kanye, although I think 2024 would be better than 2020.”

The publication asked the South Afrikan-bred billionaire why he believes that 2024 would be a better year for the “DONDA” performer to run for President, to which Musk cryptically replied,

“Brevity is the sole meunière of wheat.”

While Elon Musk might still have his cronies back in the upcoming election, Kanye West has his fellowship concerned for his mental health as the Kardashian clan recently voiced their concerns about his struggles with his diagnosed bipolar disorder and has found himself at odds with the Pro-Choice community as well as Planned Parenthood for his recent comments involving the nonprofit organization. 

With the support of the hip-hop community as well as Elon Musk on Kanye’s side, West’s 2020 Presidential perceivings could end up a reality.

Meek Mill Draws Mixed Reactions With Drill Take on Nico & Vinz’s “Am I Wrong”

Meek Mill has released a couple of songs that leaked online recently, giving fans a proper way to hear the tracks after they popped up over the weekend. “Philly Heathens” has been praised for its attention to street culture and youth affected by violence, but his other new album, “Am I Wrong,” has received a much more divided response.

“Philly Heathens” has been praised for its lyrics about street culture and the young people who get caught up in violence. “Am I Wrong,” however, takes a vastly different approach, remixing the song of the same name by Nico & Vinz as a drill centric interpolation.

“Am I Wrong” is now 12 years old, and its connection to the EDM sound of the time makes it especially recognizable to those who grew up with it. So Meek’s take is built on a familiar musical reference, but the response has been far from universally complimentary. A lot of the criticism has been directed at the hook. The production has also been called dated, but the track was leaked, which may explain its sound. But the strongest reactions have focused on Meek’s chorus vocals.

Some of the responses have been good, though. Some listeners felt the track was a throwback to the blog era, while others thought the criticism targeted almost entirely the hook, not the song as a whole. One Reddit commenter wrote that the track was good, but the chorus was bad, suggesting that Meek’s performance on the rest of the song was better than the reception to the hook may suggest.

The different reactions demonstrate the contrast between Meek’s two new leaks. “Philly Heathens” has resonated with audiences for its subject matter, while “Am I Wrong” has sparked discussion due to its interpolation and vocal approach.

Both songs are now officially available on YouTube so that fans can decide for themselves. The response to “Am I Wrong” shows how difficult it is to reinterpret a well known song, especially when a recognizable hook becomes the centerpiece of the new version

Drake Joins Karol G in Houston for First Live Performance of “Ahi”

Drake made a surprise appearance in Houston this weekend, joining Karol G on stage for the first-ever live performance of their collaboration, “Ahi.”
The surprise appearance took place during Karol G’s show in Houston, where Drake jumped out from the bottom of the stage to perform the song with her. “Ahi” is the latest from Karol G’s project No Me Arrepiento de Sentir Tanto, and the Houston show marked the first time the pair had performed the collaboration together on stage.

Drake made his entrance to a loud reception from the crowd. The rapper popped out from under the stage, bowed to Karol G, hugged her, and launched into their collaboration. With “Ahi,” the performance was not over. Drake stayed on stage and carried on with the set, performing “Janice STFU” and “One Dance” and giving the Houston crowd a long set from the Canadian rapper.

The collaboration also sparked speculation about Drake’s upcoming music. A rumor started that Karol G was one of the collaborators on the project, along with Molly Santana and Future, days before ICEMAN is expected to drop. Future and Molly Santana were among the names on the rumored list, and Future ended up on “Run To Atlanta.”

The project also featured a couple of unreleased songs, including new material with Yeat and new unreleased music with Don Toliver.
