New York City mayor Eric Adams wants to ban drill rap videos from social media, he said in a speech Friday (February 11th) following the shooting and death of 18-year-old drill rapper Chii Wvttz. “We are alarmed by the use of social media to really over-proliferate this violence in communities,” Adams said, adding that he had no idea what drill rapping was until his son, Roc-Nation’s Jordan Coleman, showed him videos. In the past decade, rappers like Chief Keef, Lil Durk, and the late Pop Smoke have brought the drill subgenre from the underground into a mainstream craze. A successor to trap music and gangsta rap, drill is defined mostly by its nihilistic and often violent lyrics. Thanks to social media, drill’s popularity has increased exponentially in just a few years. Advertisement Relat...
Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene has a long history of making statements that are both very dumb and horrifyingly vile, but this week she said something that’s stew-pid even by her broth-taking standards. In an attempt to compare California Rep. Nancy Pelosi to Adolf Hitler, with the implicit goal of framing the Democratic Party as so malicious that any action against them is justifiable, Greene momentarily forgot the word Gestapo and implied that Pelosi has a soup-er secret police force. “Pelosi’s gazpacho police [are] spying on members of Congress, spying on the legislative work that we do, spying on our staff and spying on American citizens that want to come talk to their representatives,” she said on One America News on February 8th. There’s a couple of things going on here. The lin...
Facebook WhatsApp Reddit Twitter Shares Reno Omokri clear are on the alleged defection of Former President, Goodluck Jonathan from PDP. In a post share on his social media, Omokri said: The news floating around that former President Jonathan has resigned from the PDP is false. Very false! This news is being floated by people who have been thoroughly rejected in their own state and amongst their own kith and kin, and went to their slave master’s town to receive dubious ‘honours’. Ignore it! Sule Lamido, you have nothing to fear. Former President Jonathan is 64 years old. Throughout his life, he has only been a member of one political party. His character is distinct. He is stable. He does not jump from party to party. Relax, Mallam Lamido! NaijaBlog.ng .u09eb62f5f2e7e5d69a5c9ca1b54dced7 { p...
Alice Cooper opened up in a new interview about his rather strong distaste for mixing music and politics. “I don’t ever talk politics…I hate politics. I don’t think rock ‘n’ roll and politics belong in the same bed together, but a lot of people think it does — because we have a voice, and we should use our voice. But again, rock ‘n’ roll should be anti-political, I think,” the rock veteran told Creative Loafing Tampa Bay. “When my parents started talking about politics, I would turn on The [Rolling] Stones as loud as I could. I don’t want to hear politics, and I still feel that way.” The “School’s Out” singer went on to refer to his live shows as “a vacation from CNN,” insisting, “I’m not preaching anything up there, and I’m not knocking anybody…That’s what was funny about it. If you’re in...

With his Twitter account permanently suspended, Donald Trump has had to branch out in order to fulfill his unwavering need for self-indulgence. The former president has, apparently, pivoted to DJing, and his first audience is his fellow members of the Mar-a-Lago Club. According to the New York Times’ Maggie Haberman, members of the Palm Beach, Florida resort received a notice advertising that “great music” would be played during dinner the weekend of Friday, February 4th, with “President Trump playing the role of disc jockey.” (Note the use of the word “president.”) See the full statement signed by No. 45 himself below.
