Zaytoven Talks Working With Usher, Giving Saweetie OK To Date Quavo & More

Read the rest here:

Source: Prince Williams / Getty Zaytoven has been putting in work on the music scene since his early days in the Bay Area to becoming one of Atlanta’s most sought-after producers. In a recent interview, the talented keyboardist and beat maker broke down the details of his collaborative effort with Usher in A , working with Gucci Mane and Future, and also giving Quavo the blessing to date close friend and artist Saweetie. Billboard writes: Working at a frenetic pace is nothing new for Zaytoven, as he easily rattles off numerous Atlanta rap titans he’s collaborated with for days at a time honing in on a single project. “That’s how it is when I work with Gucci Mane, Migos or Future and do projects with them. This was about [a month] ago. We literally did the project and got it mixed and mastered within two weeks,” he says. The 38-year-old took it upon himself to inject a certain dose of youthfulness when creating a relevant trap sonic to complement Usher’s signature croon. “It was up to me to bring the youthfulness and the right now sound to the project,” Zay told Billboard. “I’m an R&B guy, but it seems like it’s not getting the looks it used to. It’s up to me and other producers like me to make the music for these new R&B guys.” On the Billboard 200 chart dated Oct. 27, “A” debuted at No. 31. Even prior to the Let the Trap Say Amen producer beginning his latest musical endeavor, he received a surprise call from burgeoning Bay area artist Saweetie, who he considers to be basically family, as someone he’s witness grow since she was just a little girl. These days, the “ICY GRL” rapper is now all but confirmed to be dating Quavo in her first high-profile relationship. Check out the full interview with Zaytoven here . — Photo: Getty

Keep Hope Alive! Jesse Jackson Personally Escorts 5 New Voting Machines Into Georgia Polling Place

W ith such widespread reports of failing voting machines across the country, it took a civil rights icon to steward what could become an iconic civil rights moment during the highly consequential midterm elections on Tuesday. As voting suppression was seemingly being realized in real-time, a video posted to social media showed two men bringing five voting machines into a polling place in Georgia, with the Rev. Jesse Jackson bringing up the rear, looking like he was overseeing the entire process. People could be seen standing around (read: not voting) in the Pittman Park Recreation Center in South Atlanta before the new machines were brought in to a welcoming round of applause that may as well have doubled as a collective sigh of relief. It could become a defining moment in the fight against the very real voter suppression efforts Georgians have seen in the weeks ahead of Election Day. Watch it below. @RevJJackson walking in with 5 new voting machines #gapol #MidtermElections2018 pic.twitter.com/eeD5jUnvNL — Kathleen Quillian (@QuillianK) November 6, 2018 According to  Kathleen Quillian‏, the news producer who tweeted the footage, voters who arrived at Pittman Park Recreation Center were greeted by just three voting machines, forcing people to have to wait for up to four hours. @RevJJackson is at the Pittman Park Recreation center in South Atlanta. Supporting those voters who have waited in line for 4 hours due to only having 3 voting machines. pic.twitter.com/ax2Ba8mQFV — Kathleen Quillian (@QuillianK) November 6, 2018 With such anticipation surrounding the election, it was up to the officials overseeing the election to plan ahead for what was expected to be a high voter turnout. So it was no wonder that the Republican candidate running for governor, Brian Kemp , also happened to be Georgia’s secretary of state. His opponent, Stacey Abrams , could become the first African-American woman in U.S. history to be governor. While voters were reportedly experiencing the entire gamut of issues at the polls — voter intimidation, voter suppression, poll worker apathy, and more — it seemed to be more pronounced in Georgia. In many instances, the issues were resolved quickly, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution . Election officials provided spare voting machines. But, then, that still begs the question why all of the voting machines were not made available to voters in the first place, what with all of the complaints about lines that routinely come with elections.

Avril Lavigne Album Cover Shoot of the Day

You are the skater boy….I said see ya later boy is the best way I can describe this photoshoot of Avril Lavigne, who in case you aren’t in your 40s, you will know was a fetish to perverts everywhere…so much so that when she was a teenager..she was exported from a mall in Canada to a mall in the USA…where she would live a decade and make a lot of money during that decade…as the embodiment of mall culture in America….despite her music being shit.. I guess an older, wiser, more sophisticated version of her has come out with a new Album…and this is the Album art…there are no weird hair color streaks, tattoos, EMO SCENE KID outfits, nipples, nudity…no “stripped” version of her…just a mom going to a PTA looking version of her since she is that age and may even have a kid with that Nickelback guy she married…. I feel obligated as Canadian owned media to cover some Canadian content I just wish it was more naked…I mean I don’t know how to write about a bitch in clothing anymore…there’s no nipples to caption and do my “voiceover” to…just totally uninspiring…which I guess you’d expect by the human embodiment of the mall… The post Avril Lavigne Album Cover Shoot of the Day appeared first on DrunkenStepFather.com .

Ariana Grande & Pete Davidson Breakup: Soon to Get Even Uglier?!

When the world learned that Ariana Grande and Pete Davidson were engaged , fans were immediately skeptical of the pairing. But even those who predicted that Pete and Ariana would break up had little idea that the relationship would end so quickly — or flameout so dramatically. If you’ve been keeping up with the situation, then you’re probably aware that things got ugly between the exes in a major way last week. It all started when Davidson joked about the breakup during a promo for this week’s episode of Saturday Night Live . Ariana immediately clapped back on social media, tweeting: “For somebody who claims to hate relevancy u sure love clinging to it huh.” Grande then released a song in which she addressed the breakup — a single that she released just 30 minutes before SNL aired. Now, that’s some grade-A shade-throwing, and it was widely expected that the situation would deteriorate from there. But thankfully, it seems Pete and Ariana have both reached the decision to call a cease-fire. “They have no contact now and she keeps moving forward,” a source close to the situation tells People magazine. “She seems very happy and positive. She isn’t talking about dating and is instead focused on work and herself.” As for Davidson, the insider says the young comic is taking it all in stride. “Pete’s unfazed,” the source tells People. “It’s true they’re not in agreement about things after the breakup. “A lot of people thought he was the wild card in the relationship, but that’s not true. Pete has and will always joke about his life, with or without her.” Indeed, Ari has been quite outspoken on the situation, addressing the breakup directly in the lyrics “Thank U, Next”: “Plus I met someone else / We havin’ better discussions / I know they say I move on too fast / But this one gon’ last / ‘Cause her name is Ari / And I’m so good with that.” The same night the song was released, Davidson spoke candidly about the split during the “Weekend Update” segment of SNL: “The last thing I will say is I know some of you are curious about the breakup, but the truth is it’s nobody’s business, and sometimes things just don’t work out, and that’s okay,” he said. “She’s a wonderful, strong person, and I genuinely wish her all the happiness in the world.” Of course, Davidson’s plea for privacy and compassion came on the heels of a joke about a wounded war veteran , but that’s a discussion for another time.

Lil Xan: I Don’t Want to End Up Like Mac Miller But I Can’t Quit Drugs!

It’s a frightening time for young celebrities, as an epidemic of addiction and substance abuse is claiming lives in Hollywood at an astonishing rate. Over the course of the past year, a number of promising lives have been lost or forever changed by opioids and other prescription pills, and it seems that there’s no solution to the problem in sight. In July, Demi Lovato’s near-fatal overdose left fans praying for the singer’s recovery. ( Lovato recently celebrated 90 days of sobriety.) The death of Mac Miller in September stunned the hip-hop world and left many of his fellow artists thinking twice about lyrics and lifestyles that glorify substance abuse. One such artist is Lil Xan. Lil Xan Talks Drugs Xan is so steeped in modern hip-hop drug culture that his stage name is a reference to his former substance of choice. The 23-year-old recently opened up to TMZ in a surprisingly candid new interview in which he discusses his conflicted feelings toward drugs and the music that glorifies them. The rapper says he’s kicked his addiction to Xanax, but is still “weaning” himself away from other pills. In the interview, Xan reveals that he sold drugs before making it big in music. But he also insists he was a drug dealer with a conscience and quit dealing when the often-fatal Fentanyl hit the scene. “My friends were taking it; they were puking. I was like I can’t … I’m out the game,” Xan says of his decision to retire from dealing and focus on music. Xan says that like Demi, he’s capable of long periods of sobriety, but notes that he is currently off the wagon. “I relapsed, and that’s common … Any other addict would understand that sh-t just happens,” he tells TMZ. “You just relapse. You don’t want to. It’s a process. You need treatment and help, and sometimes that doesn’t even help.” “It has to come from within. That’s what I’ve learned,” Xan says. “I’ve gone periods of like six months clean of everything. And that was because of me. I wanted to be clean.” When the interviewer states that Xan is “clean now,” he corrects her: “I’m not completely clean. Off Xanax, yes, but I’m still weaning off Norcos [a brand of codeine-based painkiller],” he says. Xan says he is currently not in rehab, but is living in seclusion “in the forest.” He adds that he plans to remain in hiding until the release of his upcoming album, which he has described as a tribute to his “hero,” Mac Miller. We wish Lil Xan all the best in his recovery. View Slideshow: 31 Celebrities Who Have Been to Rehab

Halsey Pussy Print of the Day

I made a post about how everything is the fucking same yesterday or the other day..saying that all the shitty low quality pop music that kids are into fucking sucks…and all the content that people produce is all the fucking same…laziness and zero creativity….that it would be the equivalent of every singer singing the same song, to the same musical track, same lyrics the same way…it’s boring…. Only Halsey, the half black party girl who pretends she had such a hard life because she was poor and doing drugs, is both… She makes the shitty music I used as a metaphor, and she posts the shitty selfies showing off her body, that would normally be reserved for a dude she’s fucking, who I guess is now off fucking some hotter model…for the world, or her fans to see…. It’s just a weird dynamic really…there’s something nice about not seeing every girl in the world shoving her bathing suit or panties up her cunt, cropping out her face to keep it mysterious, because her face is mangled and not made up, but her body looks banging cuz she just took a shit….and feels thin… I kind of prefer not seeing ever girl shoving panties in her cunt…so that when it happens it’s really a “FUCK DID YOU SEE THAT PIC”…now it’s just not even worth talking about… Keep up the hard and expensive big budget content Produxtion you lazy twat…can’t even eat the bikini bottoms right.
