Charlamagne Tha God Blasts Joe Biden’s Battle Rap Ad
Between his positions on The Breakfast Club and the Andrew Schulz-assisted Brilliant Idiots podcast, Charlamagne Tha God has never been one to hold his tongue. Especially on the latter, where Tha God has free reign to vent his frustrations for an extended period of time. As fans know, Charlamagne isn’t exactly ready and willing to cape for the Democratic party and will call them out when he feels a foul has occurred.

During a recent episode of Brilliant Idiots, Charlamagne expressed annoyance with the Biden campaign’s recent battle-rap themed ad, which featured appearances from DNA and Charlie Clips. Citing the backlash faced by the recent “BreonnaCon” event that transpired in Kentucky, Charlamagne praised the organizers for actually stepping up and putting in the work. “They doing the work,” explains Tha God. “If you think that’s lame, but you’re okay with Joe Biden hiring battle rappers to campaign for him, you’re being a hypocrite.”
Schulz goes on to deem Biden’s battle-rap ad one of the “most pathetic videos he’s ever seen in his life,” with Charlamagne echoing the same displeasure. “I think it’s disgusting,” says Charla. “What-a-fuckin-idiot definitely goes to the Biden campaign. And I know ya’ll get upset with me cause you think I’m always on the Biden campaign’s ass, but it really does bother me how bad Democrats fumble the goddamn ball.” For what it’s worth, the pair proceed to maintain that they’re harder on the people they support, so the criticism tends to get highlighted.
“Stop all the gimmicks, stop all the fucking pandering, put the tangibles on the table for the black community,” continues Charlamagne. “That’s how you will energize the black community to come vote. Not doing battle rap ads. No disrespect to Charlie Clips and DNA cause they did a phenomenal job as they always do, but the fact the campaign went to them to do that is weak to me. If they had did that on their own and it was organically done, I’d respect it.”
Check out Charlamagne’s take on the Biden battle-rap ad below, taking place around the forty-four-minute mark.

François Marius and Bérénice creates a tender acoustic pop confession with “Billie Jean”
François Marius’ latest release, “Billie Jean (Acoustic Version),” cuts to the quick and lets raw emotion take over. What you get, ultimately, is a personal pop experience that feels closer to a secret than to either a spoken-word show or a performance. The initial soft strum of an acoustic guitar creates a mood that is soft, sweet, and quietly interesting. It’s a full-throated, backbones-out piece, and every note is screaming its potential. It’s simple but riveting, and it proves that sometimes less is more.
François Marius and Bérénice’s voices sound right together, their voicings intermingle so naturally that they seem accidental or spontaneous, harmonies that emerge from nowhere. The way they speak to one another is very, I mean, they really love each other. That even makes the track seem like a conversation about feelings.
The two artists are clearly close. Romance and Eros are not just ideas, and they inhabit every note that lingers and every minuscule shift in tonality. The harmonies soar effortlessly over the acoustic foundation, a blend of sweetness and strength. It’s a sign of strength and also of a willingness to be hurt.
“Billie Jean (Acoustic Version)” is stripped of any fancy production or theatrical effects, it wins you over with its frankness and forthrightness. Sandy François Marius’s impersonation is fresh and real, endowed with depth and softness thanks to Bérénice’s presence, which definitely makes everything more perfect. This acoustic performance serves as a stark reminder of the elements that do connect people: the singer, his guitar, and a story from the heart.
