T.I. Stands Up For AOC & “The Squad”
T.I. has never been one to shy away from vocalizing his thoughts on a given matter, be it pertaining to the world of music or political discourse. On the latter note, Tip has never been much of a Donald Trump fan, using his platform of Instagram to be a vocal critic of the recently COVID-stricken President. Yesterday, the rapper once again found himself engaging in an interesting discussion, this time pertaining to a perceived Twitter double-standard working against the political quartet of Alexandria Ocsario Cortez, Rashida Tlaib, Ilhan Omar, and Ayanna Pressley — known by many as “The Squad.”

The basic premise centers around the notion that Twitter has been banning users wishing death and illness upon Donald Trump following his COVID-19 diagnosis but allowing such threats against “The Squad” to go unchecked. It didn’t take long for Cortez to notice the double standard, calling out Twitter for ignoring similarly-natured threats leveled against her. In response to a message reading “tweets that wish or hope for death, serious bodily harm or fatal disease against *anyone* are not allowed and will need to be removed. this does not automatically mean suspension,” Cortez seemed unimpressed at the inaction taken against her more vocal detractors.
Evidently, the hypocrisy was enough to spur Tip Harris into action. On his own Instagram page, he tagged Jack Dorsey’s social media giant and hit them with a direct question on the matter.”@twitter …. so people can’t threaten or wish death on #45 in light of his illness (which is fair and righteous)…. But doing it to these 4 Queens is somehow deemed acceptable???? @realsway How????Someone please explain.”

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.
