Trump Takes A Jab At Biden Using 50 Cent’s Recent Endorsement

Just when you thought 2020 couldn’t get any more strange, 50 Cent took to IG to align himself with Donald Trump. Mind you, this comes after four years of relentlessly trolling the president for notable mishaps throughout his presidency but it was Biden’s tax plan that forced 50 Cent to pick a side in the upcoming election and he chose Trump. Plastered across the New York Post cover was an image of 50 Cent with the title reading, “‘I Don’t Want To Be 20 Cent’ under Biden tax plan.”

An effective title, it caught the attention of Donald Trump who has a) been longing for Hollywood support b) continuously claiming that he’s done more for the Black community than any president. For Fif, the headline was merely another example of how quickly he can make the front page of the news. However, Trump shared the cover to his own Twitter and Instagram pages in an attempt to grab last-minute voters ahead of the Nov. 3rd election.

Trump and co. have been using both 50 Cent and Ice Cube as a means to draw in voters, specifically younger Black voters. Unfortunately, Fif’s lost a lot of love from his recent endorsement, specifically from his ex-girlfriend Chelsea Handler who denounced him on social media. “You used to be my favorite ex-boyfriend,” she tweeted.

“oh my God this is affecting my love life now. @chelseahandler I love ya Gator, don’t let Trump and joe Biden come between us girl,” he wrote in response.

The Joe Biden tax plan that 50 Cent is vehemently against would have anyone earning more than $400K a year, 10% of taxpayers, would see a massive tax hike. In some states, like California and New York, would see some of the wealthiest having to pay 62% in taxes.

Meanwhile, Eric Trump has used altered images of 50 Cent and Ice Cube, who recently helped develop Trump’s Platinum Plan, declaring them, “two great, courageous Americans.” Yeah, Ice Cube didn’t like that one.

Billy Chuck Da Goat finds his flow on new release “Vibez”

Billy Chuck Da Goat’s latest release, “Vibez,” has a laid-back, hypnotic bounce that makes it easy to listen to without ever feeling empty. It makes a place where calmness and quiet confidence come together.

“Vibez” was made on purpose, but it also sounds simple. Billy Chuck’s smooth delivery flows through the production without rushing or pushing anything. Instead, he lets the rhythm breathe, allowing people to get into the song at their own pace. This laid-back energy is the best part of the song, nothing feels forced, which is exactly what it’s trying to do.

The track changes to fit whatever you need it for, like a late-night drive, a focused workout, or a way to unwind after a long day. It has a quiet edge of confidence, it’s not loud or bragging, but it’s steady and sure of itself.

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.
