John Legend Calls Out Rappers Who Support Trump During His Joe Biden Rally Performance

While the majority of pop culture figures appear to have thrown their weight behind Joe Biden’s presidential campaign, there are a handful of famous folks who have decided to attach themselves to Donald Trump. Lil Wayne and Lil Pump both associated with the president in recent days, for example, as did 50 Cent, although he quickly had a change of heart. Meanwhile, John Legend performed at a Joe Biden rally yesterday, and although he didn’t name names, he did criticize Trump-supporting rappers.

Legend said during a speech:

“Some people see the meanness, the bullying, the selfishness of Donald Trump and they mistake it for strength, a kind of twisted masculinity. Some see his greed and they mistake it for being good at business. Some of your former favorite rappers have been taken in by these lies. I think they even founded a new supergroup, it’s called ‘The Sunken Place.’”

He went on to address Trump’s “Platinum Plan,” and his review wasn’t glowing: “But Trump’s Platinum Plan for Black folks is nothing but fool’s gold, because you can’t bank on a word he says. Ask the students of Trump University. Ask all of the contractors he stiffed. Ask the people his charity was supposed to help before it was shut down for being a fraud. Ask all the Black and brown Americans who are dying from this virus and losing their jobs under his watch. The president isn’t strong: He’s a coward, and his career in business and in government has been failure after failure after failure.”

Tony G. Copeland Serenades the Soul with “My Number One Lady”

Tony G. Copeland

Love songs often seem to drip with timeless appeal, and Tony G. Copeland’s latest single, “My Number One Lady”, is just such an example. This heartstring song is a fair homage to love, gratitude, and unyielding support, and it will be out on his album All Night Suga.

Written initially as a love letter to his wife, Angela, “Number One Lady” went on to do something of a disservice: it reinvigorated a genre that the masses had long forgotten. With its soothing melodies, luscious instrumentation, and soul-surging lyrics, the song speaks to every woman loved by a man who knows and loves her for her true self.

From the opening note, “My Number One Lady” envelops listeners in a hug, buoyed by Tony G. Copeland’s skillful production and the song’s full sonic textures. Co-produced by Reginald Halsey Jr. and featuring Brock Mack’s deep, sonorous bass lines, the track unfolds like a soulful groove that manifests as equal parts R&B classic and contemporary polish. Their talents blend seamlessly into a sound that feels at once an homage and completely new.

Whether you’re two-stepping in the kitchen with your partner or just thinking back on the beauty of unconditional love, this track will be a home run for your heart.
