Beyoncé's Fourth of July concert was an ode to an unfinished America
Few — if any — contemporary pop stars seem capable of bringing an idea to completion with the style and scrupulousness of Beyoncé. So you better pay attention whenever she does something halfway. Like on the Fourth of July, performing right outside our nation's capital, when she used her miracle voice to sing an abbreviated version of 'The Star-Spangled Banner,' cutting the anthem a few lines short, allowing all kinds of metaphors to gallantly stream into the muggy twilight. Metaphors suggesting what? That this nation is not fully what it claims to be. That our democracy-building remains unfinished. That we are still very much in the middle of this whole thing.

Canadian Politician Jagmeet Singh Apologizes to Drake for Attending Kendrick Lamar Concert
Drake is probably not feeling too hot after his hometown of Toronto showed a lot of love to Kendrick Lamar during the Compton rapper's co-headlining shows with SZA in the city last week. He's taking it out on Jagmeet Singh, the former federal leader of the New Democratic Party, who was spotted attending one of the shows. On Sunday night, after images of Singh at one of the concerts surfaced online, Drake took to Instagram, posting a screenshot of his DM history with Singh. In the most recent message, Drake simply wrote 'You're a goof' to the politician. Previous messages were since-deleted stories Singh had posted about Drake in the past and a message thanking Drake for the follow in 2019. More from Rolling Stone Drake, Smiley, Kim Gordon, Feid and All the Songs You Need to Know This Week Drake Declares 'F-ck Hollywood and the Hamptons' on Smiley's '2 Mazza' Kendrick Lamar Performed 'Not Like Us' in Drake's Hometown for First Time Singh posted an apology on his own Instagram story that evening. 'I went for SZA not Kendrick,' he claimed. 'I was born in this city, I love this city. But real talk, I get it. I shouldn't have gone at all.' Singh then celebrated what Drake and his label OVO have done for Toronto and Canada overall. 'For me it'll always be Drake over Kendrick,' he continued. Lamar's Toronto tour dates last week were his first in Drake's hometown since the onset of their feud. The reception appeared to be quite warm, with the audience not only giving the hit diss song 'Not Like Us' a two-minute ovation but also begging Lamar to do an encore of just that song. Drake otherwise made no comment about the shows or Toronto's love for Lamar, singling out only Singh. He released a new song with fellow Toronto rapper Smiley on Friday in the midst of the shows, where he notably holds on to his title of 'the 6ix God,' a reference to Toronto locals calling the city 'the 6ix.'

Kendrick Lamar Blocks One Of Hip-Hop's Most Successful Women From A New No. 1
Cardi B's 'Outside' debuts at No. 2 on both Billboard's Hot R&B/Hip-Hop and Hot Rap Songs charts, ... More landing behind "Luther" by Kendrick Lamar and SZA. BEVERLY HILLS, CALIFORNIA - MARCH 10: Cardi B attends the 2024 Vanity Fair Oscar Party hosted by Radhika Jones at Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts on March 10, 2024 in Beverly Hills, California. (Photo by) Cardi B rules several Billboard charts this week with her brand new single 'Outside.' The tune opens in first place on five rankings, as it's a bestseller and a powerful streamer, especially within the hip-hop genre. The Grammy winner nearly secures a new champion on some of Billboard's most competitive style-specific tallies, but another one of the most successful names in the history of rap music blocks her. 'Outside' Starts Behind Kendrick Lamar 'Outside' debuts at No. 2 on both the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs and Hot Rap Songs charts this week. Cardi lands behind Kendrick Lamar and SZA's collaboration 'Luther,' which has been running the show for months. That track earns its twenty-seventh stay atop both of those consumption-based rosters. It recently became the longest-running No. 1 in the history of those two charts, and each week that it holds on, the song extends its lead and makes history once again. Cardi B's Collection of No. 1 Smashes Cardi has already claimed the top spot on both rankings in the past, where she enters in second place this time, so a No. 2 start isn't too disappointing. She has racked up half a dozen stints ruling the Hot Rap Songs ranking and one more on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs tally. She's also accrued more than 20 top 10s on the two busy lists. 'Outside' Enters at No. 1 on Several Billboard Charts While 'Outside' misses the throne on multiple rankings, it does conquer the Digital Song Sales, R&B/Hip-Hop Digital Song Sales, Rap Digital Song Sales, R&B/Hip-Hop Streaming Songs, and Rap Streaming Songs charts. 'Outisde' is the latest single from Cardi's highly anticipated upcoming full-length album Am I the Drama? As it arrives, the cut also reaches the top 10 on both the Streaming Songs chart and the Hot 100, where it narrowly manages to become her thirteenth smash to land inside that competitive region as it kicks off its time at No. 10.
