AceShowbiz – French Montana once again made a wild statement during an interview. After making headlines for his remarks about outshining Kendrick Lamar, French appeared to throw major shade at Swae Lee.
Speaking with Billboard, the “That’s a Fact” rapper alluded that he produced the Rae Sremmurd artist’s song “Powerglide” but never got credited for it. Additionally, he called out Swae for putting out the sequel of his hit record “Unforgettable” without including him.
“If I didn’t structure the song, what happened when they put out ‘Unforgettable’ part 2, ‘Guatemala’? How come that didn’t sell nine million?” asked French. “That’s how they try and do me. I do ‘Unforgettable’, they take me out and he replaces me with somebody else to come out with a part 2. I never took it no way.”

Just recently, French revealed in a phone call interview with Big Boy TV that he used to have an awkward moment when he and Kodak Black filmed music video for his hit “Lockjaw”. “Me and him didn’t have one conversation when we shot the video,” French explained. “I just looked at him and he growled at me,” he went on saying while laughing.
That is not the only wild remark that French made during recent interview. He previously sparked controversy after he said that he would outshine Kendrick Lamar. “I could go against anybody. You could put somebody like Kendrick Lamar next to me on the same stage at a festival, I might outshine him. Not because I’m a better rapper, or whatever it is. It’s just that I got more hits,” he told Complex in an interview earlier this month.
He went on explaining, “Kendrick Lamar got albums. He got masterpieces. But if you want to put us on the festival stage, I would outshine him because I have more hits than Kendrick Lamar.”
The Bronx rapper received backlash from Kendrick fans, prompting the “Welcome to the Party” spitter to clarify on his Twitter account. “IF WE JUST TALKING ABOUT ANTHEMS, !! ME VS KENDRICK HIT FOR HIT ! I BELIEVE I CAN GO NECK TO NECK !!” French insisted. “I BEEN MAKING HITS FOR A LONG TIME ! IT AINT MY FAULT I BELIEVE IN MYSELF. HOW WAS I SUPPOSED TO ANSWER THAT QUESTION ? HOW MANY TIMES I GOTTA PROVE MYSELF BEFORE I GET MINE.”
Assuring that there’s no bad blood between him and Kendrick, French added, “I love kendrick! that’s not just for kendrick that’s to anybody they put in front of me, and ask me that same question that u want me to say lol ? It should be your attitude too. If u think any less of yourself don’t blame it on the next person who don’t ! set it up.”

The English Concert, under the conductor Harry Bicket, returned to Carnegie Hall with one of Handel’s greatest hits.Less than 48 hours after a new production of “Giulio Cesare in Egitto” ended its run in the Hudson Valley, another “Cesare” took up the throne in New York City.The timing was purely coincidental but not that surprising. Handel composed over 70 music dramas, yet only a handful are still performed regularly, and “Cesare” remains his most popular.Each recent “Cesare,” though, had something distinct to offer its audiences. R.B. Schlather’s staging upstate was fashionably modern, with a liberal approach to the music. The concert performance in New York, presented by the English Concert at Carnegie Hall on Sunday, was made for faithful Baroque-ophiles: no risks, no frills, no excess.Almost every season since 2013, the English Concert, led by its artistic director, Harry Bicket, has brought Handel’s operas and oratorios to New York. This ensemble sets a standard for Handel performance in the 21st century, in large part because of Bicket’s musicality and attention to detail. Like a good wine, this music is savored, not gulped. No interlude is rushed, no aria taken for granted.Operas as concerts can be challenging, especially for a work with a four-hour running time, including two intermissions. Handel benefits from eye candy: flashy garb, elaborate scenery, routines with backup dancers — anything to keep hold of our attention. And yet if it’s not Baroque, don’t fix it. Carnegie was packed on Sunday, perhaps with people who just want good music performed well. The English Concert does that consistently.To write “Cesare,” Handel and the librettist Nicola Francesco Haym drew from fictionalized accounts of the end of Julius Caesar’s civil war. After defeating Pompeo, Cesare follows his rival to Egypt. Cesare intends to grant clemency to Pompeo, who is assassinated anyway at the behest of Tolomeo, the king of Egypt. Personal vengeance, romantic conceit and cunning tomfoolery ensue in narratives that weave among eight characters.We are having trouble retrieving the article content.Please enable JavaScript in your browser settings.Thank you for your patience while we verify access.

Her music has quietly reappeared on the streaming service, two years after a departure over what she called “lies” about Covid-19 vaccines in podcasts.Joni Mitchell’s music has quietly returned to Spotify, more than two years after she followed Neil Young in protest of what she called “lies” about Covid-19 vaccines being spread on the streaming platform.There was no official announcement of Mitchell’s decision, but on Thursday fans on social media began to note with excitement the reappearance of some of her albums on Spotify. By Friday morning, most if not all of Mitchell’s original albums had returned, including classics like “Blue” (1971), “Court and Spark” (1974) and “Mingus” (1979).Representatives of the singer-songwriter, her record labels and Spotify either did not answer or had no comment when asked on Thursday and Friday about the apparent return of Mitchell’s albums.In January 2022, with a post on her website titled “I Stand With Neil Young!,” Mitchell said she would be removing all of her music from Spotify. Young had done so after criticizing the service for its support of Joe Rogan, the podcast star whose show had come under fire from doctors and public health officials who said that some of Rogan’s guests promoted misinformation about Covid vaccines.“Irresponsible people are spreading lies that are costing people their lives,” Mitchell wrote.Young returned his music to Spotify last week, saying: “My decision comes as music services Apple and Amazon have started serving the same disinformation podcast features I had opposed at Spotify.” Rogan previously had an exclusive deal with Spotify, which has since been renewed — for a reported $250 million — to allow distribution of his show on other platforms.Mitchell, 80, has become more active in recent years after suffering an aneurysm in 2015 that initially left her unable to speak. She has given several performances, including at the Newport Folk Festival in 2022 and at the Grammy Awards in February, and is set to play two “Joni Jam” shows at the Hollywood Bowl in October, joined by Brandi Carlile and others.

Mitski moved to Nashville. She’s not quite sure why, because she didn’t really know anyone there, but she liked how specifically weird it was — a town with stories. A local businessman had recently died and left his substantial estate to his Border collie. Bachelorette parties were a surreal and ever-present cottage industry: “There’s always a woman crying on the street and five other women in matching T-shirts comforting her,” as Mitski put it to me. “It feels like such a good place to observe the human condition.” More

The Democratic politician reveals he listened to a rap song from ‘The Black Album’ whenever he felt low during the campaign trail when he was running for the President.

Apr 4, 2021

AceShowbiz –
Jay-Z’s “My 1st Song” became an anthem for Barack Obama when he was first running for U.S. President.

The former leader has revealed the rap song from Jay-Z’s “The Black Album” was a huge source of inspiration for him, and he’d listen to it to lift himself back up after a tough day on the campaign trail.

“It is a song that I love because it talks about the struggle of just trying to make it,” Obama says. “And sometimes you have to resort to false bravado and hustle and tamping down your insecurities and when I was running for president, obviously, at that point I didn’t know whether I was gonna make it.”

“There’s a line in there: ‘Treat my first as my last and my last as my first and my thirst is the same as when I came’. And I actually kept on listening to that song during the presidency, because it was a reminder that – even when you do make it – having a little bit of that sense of still being hungry, still having to work hard, still having to prove something, that’s what keeps propelling you forward.”

Back in 2017, Obama helped celebrate Jay-Z when the star made history as the first hip-hop artist to be inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame.

The Democratic Politician called Beyonce Knowles’ husband “a true American original” in a prerecorded video message.

“I like to think Mr. Carter and I understand each other,” the then-president said. “Nobody who met us when we were younger men would have expected us to be where we are today.”
