Ice Spice To Perform “Saturday Night Live” With Pete Davidson As Host

October 4, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Ice Spice will be the first musical guest to host Saturday Night Live following the recent Writers’ Guild of America and Screen Actors’ Guild strikes. NBC announced that she will perform while former cast member Pete Davidson hosts the episode. The appearance will mark Ice Spice’s late-night TV debut.

Spice hasn’t commented on what songs she’ll be performing, but she’s built a small catalog of hits over the last year with songs like “Barbie World,” “Boy’s A Liar, Pt. 2,” “Deli,” “In Ha Mood,” “Princess Diana,” “Munch” and more from which to choose. It’s also likely she performs in a skit on the show, as she’s spoken about her interest in acting in the past. Speaking with Ebro Darden on Hot 97, she previously revealed she also thought she’d make it as an actor. “I didn’t ever really like see myself being a rapper,” she said. “I always wanted to be an actress. That was my first passion.”

Following that episode, Saturday Night Live will welcome Bad Bunny to serve double-duty as both the host and musical guest. While it will be Bad Bunny’s first time hosting, he made his debut on the show with a cameo back in 2020. A year later, he came on as a musical guest the following February.

Lose a limb trying to keep with the crowd
Seen so many closed doors they be keeping me out

Is Ty Dolla Sign’s ‘More Motion Less Emotion Tour’ Canceled?

October 4, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Fans looking forward to catching Ty Dolla Sign’s More Motion Less Emotion Tour might just be out of luck. Songkick’s calendar for Ty Dolla Sign is showing a slew of canceled shows, while Ty’s own website has no upcoming events listed. Even Live Nation only has one show coming up in Costa Mesa, CA on October 21.

So…

Is Ty Dolla Sign’s ‘More Motion Less Emotion Tour’ Canceled?

Although no official announcements have been made either way, it certainly looks like it is, for all intents.

We’re not entirely sure what prompted the cancellations, other than the fact that we’ve seen similar events being dropped from the likes of Lil Baby, Lil Durk, and more this year. Certainly, the live entertainment industry is still reeling from the effects of the pandemic (which, sorta hasn’t really ever stopped so much as we all decided to go on about our business after over a million people died from a completely preventable breakdown of public policy and social discourse). Venues are doing less business at their bars, and with Live Nation nixing merch fees for artists, their venues are are sure to see revenues take a hit.

Artists themselves are struggling, too. While top-line artists like Beyoncé, Drake, and Taylor Swift have devoured all the oxygen (and money) that would probably ordinarily be going to indies and rising artists, even established majors are finding it tough to sell tickets, route tours, and turn a profit from a hungry public that demands more bang for their buck than but has a lot fewer of those bucks to spread around.

It wouldn’t be surprising to find out Ty’s in this boat, for now, all this is just conjecture. And speaking of conjecture, there’s speculation among fans that he’s been working on Kanye West’s new album, which fans on Twitter believe is being recorded in Italy
One thing is for sure: This is a tough break for openers Leon Thomas and Symba, who could have used the exposure — and the tour money.

Ty Dolla Sign is a Warner Music artist. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.

Dr. Dre Turned Down Opportunity To Make “The Chronic” Weed Strain, Berner Recalls

October 4, 2023 by newhiphopnews

During his recent appearance on The Bootleg Kev Podcast, Berner revealed that Dr. Dre once turned down his idea to team up to produce a strain of weed called “The Chronic.” According to Berner, the performer was concerned about getting himself into the industry before weed was federally legal, which is why he declined the offer. Despite him passing on the opportunity, Berner reflected on the memory of meeting with Dr. Dre “three or four years ago” fondly.

“Dre sat down with me and I showed him a jar of what we wanted to call ‘The Chronic,’” Berner explained. “It was by far the best-looking weed we’ve ever produced — it was incredible, beautiful, it was orange, purple, funky, stanky … it looked like it was out of a f*cking movie, how good this weed looked.”

Dr. Dre Wanted To Wait Until Weed Was Federally Legal

“I showed him ‘The Chronic’ and he was just like, ‘yeah, I f*ck with it I appreciate Slim [the Mobster] putting this play together and, y’know, we’ll think about it, but like I don’t know if I really want to put myself in the industry.’” According to Berner, Dr. Dre told him that since he had already managed to make it big, he didn’t want to put everything on the line with a venture into the weed space. “He told me, ‘I got money money and I don’t really want to play with that until, y’know, maybe it’s federally legal,” he explained. “‘I just don’t want to risk it.’”

Though the strain surely would have been a hit among fans, nobody can blame the 58-year-old for opting to play it safe. What do you think of Dr. Dre turning down Berner’s offer to produce “The Chronic” weed? Would you have given the strain a try if Dr. Dre had agreed to Berner’s idea? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates on Dr. Dre and Berner.

Simone Biles Leads Team USA To Seventh Consecutive World Gymnastics Title

October 4, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Team USA has secured its seventh consecutive World Gymnastics title behind the efforts of Simone Biles and her teammates. Despite a dominant performance in qualifying, the medal event was closer than expected, with the US beating Brazil by 2.199 points in Antwerp. The team gold broke the tie that Team USA had held with the Chinese men’s team for consecutive World golds. Meanwhile, that same Chinese men’s team had to settle for silver behind Japan.

However, the championships are far from done for Biles and company. Biles is favored to win four individual golds – all-around, vault, beam, and floor. Meanwhile, Shilese Jones has her eyes firmly set on the bars gold. However, beyond medaling and everything else, there is also the motivation of putting in strong performances as selection for Paris 2024 approaches.

Biles Eyeing History At Homecoming Worlds

SIMONE. BILES.

“Back to where it all started, see you soon Belgium,” Biles told her Instagram followers via a story post after qualifying for Worlds. As alluded to by Biles, Antwerp will be something of a homecoming. A decade ago, she made her Worlds debut in the city. She cleaned up in her first-ever event, grabbing gold in the all-around and floor, silver in the vault, and bronze in the beam. Furthermore, qualification meant Biles became the first woman to be selected to represent the US at six World Championships.

Worlds also represents a chance for Biles to secure her place in Paris next year. Olympic places are available on all apparatus, as well as for the all-around champion. Furthermore, Biles is a firm favorite to qualify somewhere as she has shown that her time away has not left any rust on her performance. However, the world of gymnastics has only gotten better in recent years. This means that Biles will likely face some tough competition if she wants to take home the gold in Belgium. After an off day tomorrow, Biles will be in action on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.
