Snoop Dogg Always Knew That Sexyy Red Had “Star Power”

November 16, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Snoop Dogg has been an elder in hip-hop for such a long time that he’s been through a few different “new generations” as a legendary mainstay. As such, he witnessed a lot of hot new rappers come and go over the years, and even works closely with some of the most successful ones out of newer schools. So when Tha Doggfather tells you that you’ve got that special something, you can rest assured it comes from a place of heavy experience. Moreover, during a recent interview with Vibe, he recalled meeting Sexyy Red for the first time and how he showed her love from the jump as a talented artist with a lot of potential to make it big.

“‘You a motherf***ing star,’” Snoop Dogg recalled telling Sexyy Red in the Vibe conversation clip uploaded Wednesday (November 13). “‘You got star power. I love you.’ She said, ‘Unc, you real as a motherf***er.’ I said, ‘Yeah, I f**k with you, cuz.’ We partying, having a good time. And I said, ‘One thing about me. I’m from the old generation, but I don’t hate on y’all. I may critique, but when I see y’all, I’ma give you love.’ And I’ma tell you face to face, ‘You doing an amazing job. Here’s some things you could do better.’ But I’m never going to say, ‘You wack, you garbage, you trash, you f***ing the industry.’ I’m never going to say that.”

At around the same time as this interview clip went live, Sexyy Red shared a video of her and Snoop Dogg vibing out at an outdoors party to her track “SkeeYee.” Maybe she will end up contributing a feature to his upcoming Missionary album with Dr. Dre…

But Snoop Dogg also shows love to the younger generation through many other ways that aren’t just through hip-hop. For example, he’s one of a few rappers who collaborated with the Fortnite Battle Royale video game for their Chapter 2 Remix update, becoming an in-game character with special zones, a boss mode, and more. It’s always great to see the Long Beach legend give back, and we’re excited for what he shouts out next.

September 2, 2024 by newhiphopnews

50 Cent was the most recent guest on Million Dollaz Worth Of Game will Gillie and Wallo, and a great one at that. In their episode, which dropped on Sunday (September 1), they discussed Fif’s career, business moves, and his unbelievable spending on legal fees over the years. However, one of the most colorful and heartening parts of the interview was when 50 recounted the story of the first time he met Eminem. Given their incredibly strong bond as musical collaborators, business partners, and decades-long friends, hearing this backstory from him is a pretty hilarious experience that feels nonetheless wholesome.

“It was wild,” 50 Cent told the media duo around the 51-minute mark of the video below. “It felt like… Remember that show they had? Punk’d on MTV? I thought they had cameras and they was going to come out and say ‘You’ve been punked.’” Also, he revealed that he wore a bulletproof vest when he first met Eminem. This took Em aback when he excitedly hugged him after looking forward to this meeting for a long time. Apparently, this made the G-Unit mogul more doubtful.

50 Cent On Million Dollaz Worth Of Game: Watch

“He flew me to L.A., right?” 50 Cent continued. “I came out. I was so bugged out from the experience that I came through the airport with the vest and s**t on. I’m lucky I took the shock plate out the front of the joint. Because when I came through, it didn’t. But the lawyer that I had with me that took me to [Eminem]. I get there he’s like, ‘Yo!’ He felt the vest and s**t and was like…” 50 then imitated the Detroit MC’s reaction.

“‘Yo this is going to be the biggest s**t right?’” 50 Cent recalled Eminem asking. “He was so excited that it made me question whether what was happening was right ’cause I just wasn’t so used to it. It felt so good that it couldn’t be like right. I’m like ‘Yo, nah.’” Well, all’s well that ends well, right? After timeless hits, millions of dollars, and a whole lot of contributions to each others’ legacies, we’re sure that they laugh back at this moment now.

Russell Wilson recently spoke about his personal encounters with God and raising Future Jr. during his interview with ex-NFL star Brandon Marshall. According to TMZ, the quarterback and wide receiver duo sat down on the latter’s podcast I AM ATHLETE. During their talk, he remembered the first time that he and Ciara met. That also happened to be the day he was introduced to his future wife’s first child. Shortly after that encounter, Russell Wilson knew he would be responsible for being a caretaker to the then nine-month-old. He really embraced the challenge from day one.

“Stepping in to raise a child with [Ciara] and realizing that, ‘Okay God, I know she’s the one for me.’ But also too, I’m gonna take this responsibility as well.” Wilson added, “I was ready for that… What a gift.” However, he does not view Future Jr. any different then he and Ciara’s kids, according to People. “When you’re raising children… you’ve got to love every single child as if they’re yours.”

Lil Wayne Shares Story About The First Time He Met LeBron James

October 27, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Ahead of the start of the NBA season, Lil Wayne shared the story of the first time he met LeBron. “I had a show in Ohio. Slim, Birdman’s older brother, called me he was like, ‘I got a player out there in Ohio. He want to come to your show. He gon’ be the one. I’m telling you Wayne, he’s a young Michael Jordan. When I got downstairs, that man was still downstairs in a suburban. He had like three or four homies with him. What I remember was his arm was in a cast and they was protecting that and protecting that as in being seen. That’s what told me oh he must be somebody. I’ll never forget he had the time of his life. He remember that night, I remember that night. It was an unforgettable time.”

Furthermore, earlier this year, Wayne noted that he now considered him above Michael Jordan in the GOAT debate. “I don’t know Bron personally. My answer for Bron is on the court. I know for a fact I loved Jordan for the way he always won. I got old enough to know how hard it is to fucking do it back-to-back-to-back. So that’s where he got his respect with me to and started getting his respect with me to where he’s the greatest. It’s very hard to do, and that n-gga Bron did that shit with three different teams. That’s right there, that’s when regardless he ain’t got six, but he done it with three different teams. And not on one of those muthafuckin’ teams did he play role two. That right there is what tipped him over the Jordan scale for me.”

LeBron Engineers Lakers Comeback

20-plus years later and LeBron is still going as hard as he ever did. LeBron James blew past his 30-minute playing time guideline as he put on a masterclass to save the Lakers from a 0-2 start to the season. James played the entire fourth quarter against the Suns, when his minutes limit suggested he should only play about half the frame. In that time, LeBron scored 10 points, helping eliminate a 12-point Suns lead and pushing the Lakers to a 100-95 victory.

“He [had coach Darvin Ham] asked me if I could go the quarter, and I looked at the time and the score and what was going on in the game, and it was an easy answer for myself. I know how much work I’ve put in to be able to play quarters or whatever the case may be. And I understand that we definitely have a system put in place, but tonight called for me to go outside the box.”” LeBron said after the game. The veteran star, now two games into his 21st season, finished with 21 points, 8 rebounds, and 9 assists. Anthony Davis, who was roasted for his performance against Denver in the season opener, had a 30-point double-double against Phoenix.
