It’s been one year since the untimely passing of Three 6 Mafia rapper Gangsta Boo, and DJ Paul, the King of Memphis, took to Instagram on January 1st to share a heartfelt tribute to the late artist.

Gangsta Boo, whose real name was Chantrelle Lola Mitchell, was found unresponsive at her mother’s home in Memphis, Tennessee, on the first day of 2023. She was pronounced dead at the scene, and it was later revealed that she had succumbed to an accidental overdose involving fentanyl, cocaine, and ethanol (alcohol). She was just 43 years old.

DJ Paul’s Instagram post featured a series of photographs of the departed rapper, edited to create the illusion of her smiling down from heaven. Accompanying the visuals was the poignant song “Love Don’t Live (U Abandoned Me),” serving as a fitting soundtrack to commemorate Gangsta Boo’s memory.

“1 Year Today & I Can Feel It!” DJ Paul captioned his post. “Started Feeling it A Month Ago. Rest Queen, You’ve Worked Hard Enough.”

Reflecting a similar sentiment, La Chat, another artist who collaborated with Gangsta Boo, also paid tribute on social media, expressing the sadness of the day and honoring the late rapper’s memory.

“One of da Saddesst days of my life!! LongLiveGangstaboo FukDaDealer,UAKilla’ CowardAXXNicca.”

Gangsta Boo’s legacy continues to live on through her contributions to the music industry, and her impact on the hip-hop community is remembered by fans and fellow artists alike. The anniversary of her passing serves as a moment to reflect on her talent, influence, and the indelible mark she left on the world of rap.

Snoop Dogg and Son Announce their own Fornite game studio to promote diverse creators

Hip-hop icon Snoop Dogg is set to add his west coast flair to NBC’s universal coverage of the 2024 Paris Olympics this summer. The legendary rapper will be featured in prime-time programming on both the NBC broadcast network and the Peacock streaming platform.

While Snoop Dogg may not be the most conventional choice for Olympic coverage, NBC is venturing into new territory to bring fresh and engaging content to its prime-time hours. This move follows the rapper’s previous stint as a commentator during the 2020 Tokyo Olympics alongside comedian Kevin Hart, and it seems that his unique take on the events resonated with audiences.

According to an NBC executive, Snoop Dogg’s previous Olympic commentary garnered “tens of millions of views,” showcasing the rapper’s ability to bring entertainment and a fresh perspective to the traditional sports coverage format.

As the Paris Olympics approach, fans can anticipate Snoop Dogg’s witty commentary and infectious energy to spice up the broadcast, making the games even more enjoyable for a diverse audience. NBC’s decision to bring back Snoop Dogg suggests a willingness to experiment with unconventional but popular figures to enhance the viewing experience for fans of all backgrounds.

Kanye West Reposts Playboi Carti Single Announcement, Sparks Fan Speculation

by

Earlier today, Playboi Carti announced a new single. He’s been dropping tracks on YouTube for a few weeks now but it seems like he’s gearing up to release his first official new song in years. Not only is he returning with a new track, but he also confirmed that it features Travis Scott. The pair have collaborated twice before already. Scott contributed a verse to the song “Love Hurts” from Carti’s 2018 album Die Lit. They teamed up again earlier this year for the hit song “FEIN!” from Travis Scott’s new album UTOPIA.

But the new single could feature yet another major collaborator. Kanye West uses his social media pretty sparingly these days but he took to his Instagram story earlier today. He did so in order to share Carti’s new single announcement, indicating he may have also had something to do with the song. Many fans speculated right away that he may have played a role on the production end of the song. That guess makes sense as West contributed production work to one of the songs Carti dropped on YouTube last month. Check out West’s repost of the announcement below.

Kanye West Shares Playboi Carti Announcement

In other Kanye West news, it was reported last year that he’s selling his $53 million Malibu mansion. The house is famously designed by architect Tadao Ando, but was stripped of many of its essential facets since West purchased it. Now an insider has revealed some of the reasons West is choosing to sell the sparse living space.

“Unfortunately, the concrete settled into more of a cadet gray and he was hoping for a warmer tone, more of dovetail gray or coachman’s cape. Ye would only visit the house at sunrise and sunset when he said the color didn’t irritate him so much. Eventually, he stopped going altogether,” the insider revealed. What do you think of Kanye West resharing Playboi Carti’s new song announcement? Do you think West did production work on the track? Let us know in the comment section below.
