Dr Dre Gets Offer From Olympic Archer To Train With Him For 2028 Los Angeles Olympics
Dr. Dre recently revealed that he wants to try out for archery at the 2028 Olympic Games in his home city of Los Angeles. While many fans might have scoffed at this idea, there’s one very knowledgeable expert who is excited at the prospect: two-time Olympic gold medalist Justin Huish. As a fellow Cali native, the archer actually offered the legendary producer to train with him, telling TMZ Sports that he’s thrilled at the idea regardless of the 59-year-old’s age.
“Anyone can do it at any age,” Justin Huish said of Dr. Dre. “There’s not really an age limit. You can be a phenom and you don’t really know. I’ll come to your house. I will train you. I will dedicate my time to train with you. If you’re really serious about this, hit me up. We’ll make it happen!” “I have it set up in my backyard and I heard qualifying for the Olympics is 77 feet. I practice at 90,” Dre said of his past history with archery and how he picked it back up after dedicating much time to music. It would be great for him to represent his home city while they host the next Olympics, as long as he’s not replacing more deserving athletes.

However, Dr. Dre is also critical of this year’s events, particularly in regards to the talent that competed in breakdancing. “I did not like that,” he told Entertainment Tonight. “It’s so many great breakdancers that I don’t know why they had this particular person doing that.” Of course, many thought these comments referred to Australian B-Girl Raygun and her viral moves, but we don’t know for sure. Either way, the event sadly won’t return at L.A.’s Olympics, whether or not you enjoyed it this time around.
Elsewhere, Dr. Dre is also looking forward to completing his collab album with Snoop Dogg, Missionary. “This one is going to show a different level of maturity with his lyrics and with my music,” he remarked to Entertainment Tonight. “I feel like this is some of the best music I’ve done in my career. [It’s been] much more fun.” We’ll all patiently wait for the results.

LL Cool J Thinks Snoop Dogg Should Play Him In A Biopic
Although LL Cool J is dropping a new album this year, he’s also very content with reflecting on his legacy and impact within hip-hop from a retrospective stance. However, while he’s happy to indulge in his career and in his legendary status in the game, he doesn’t want to do all the steps that the industry would go through for an icon of his profile. Moreover, during a recent interview with Entertainment Tonight, the New York MC revealed that he’s not particularly interested in a biopic or documentary on his life. If it happens, though, he has a pretty comical, fitting, and curious answer to the question of who would play him.
“I’m open to it but I’m not gonna lie, it bores me a little bit,” LL Cool J said of the prospect of a film based on his life and career. “I don’t know, I have mixed emotions about it, I don’t know, I just have a lot to do creatively and I feel like I could do a lot. It’s not that I’m against it. I’m open to doing a documentary, I’m open to the idea of doing a biopic but it just doesn’t excite me.”

Still, LL Cool J said that although this proposition slightly bores him, his career and life’s trajectory is not uninteresting at all. “It’s kind of like me turning around in the mirror with my jeans on and looking at myself. I don’t know what that means, I don’t do that a lot,” he added. In addition, LL also remarked on Snoop Dogg developing his own biographical film, and about how Tha Doggfather has expressed interest in doing the same for him. “Only under the condition that he actually plays me,” he responded to this notion. “I need Snoop to be me in the biopic. You can produce it if you do that!”
Meanwhile, LL Cool J’s guru-like perspective applies not just to his own career or that of rappers of his generation, but also to the newer guard. “This s**t is crazy,” he said of Kendrick Lamar and Drake’s battle, particularly of the “Not Like Us” cover art. “This ain’t got nothing to do with nothing, but it’s the funniest s**t in the world. It’s bananas. That kind of thinking, you have to respect that.”

Travis Scott Promises That “Days Before Rodeo” Is Coming To Streaming Services Soon
Travis Scott is having a great time at Michael Rubin’s Fanatics Fest this weekend, and he had a very special announcement for fans. He revealed that his fan-favorite mixtape Days Before Rodeo will hit streaming services soon. This is particularly exciting because the project’s ten-year anniversary is this Sunday (August 18), so it would line up perfectly. It also adds to all the exciting fun that La Flame has had over the past few days, including a foot race with IShowSpeed.
Furthermore, this re-release would surely put a lot of newer Travis Scott fans onto his old material… That is, if they weren’t bumping “Drugs You Should Try It” and “Skyfall” already. A lot of these newer fans probably saw him join Future and Metro Boomin for a surprise performance during the duo’s Brooklyn tour stop. It seems like the “Cinderella” collaborators had a blast onstage, and the fans in attendance certainly reciprocated that energy in the pit and in the stands. If Days Before Rodeo does come out on streaming services, it would be great to see if more cuts from it make his setlists.

But other Travis Scott fans are more concerned with how the music industry receives his newer music today, and you probably know who and what we’re talking about. Cactus Jack Stans expressed outrage at the Grammys giving Killer Mike the Best Rap Album award this year over Travis, a conversation that continues to this day. Nowadays, it has more to do with commercial performance, as Scott’s fanbase clowned Mike’s recent sales for his new project. It’s a tiresome convo, but we can all agree that both MCs deserve this love and much more.
Meanwhile, Travis Scott probably feels quite grateful and lucky these days, especially after recent concerning events. Following his Paris arrest, authorities released him and didn’t charge him with anything, which was likely a relief for him and for fans. With Days Before Rodeo seemingly on the horizon and South American tour dates coming up, there will be a lot more to enjoy from the Houston creative in 2024. Let’s just hope that this isn’t an unfulfilled promise.

TI Shouts Out Young Thug On His Birthday Amid Possible Dismissal Of YSL RICO Case
T.I. is one of many hip-hop figures advocating for Young Thug’s release amid the chaotic and controversial YSL RICO case. Recently, the Atlanta trap legend sent one of his torch-bearers some birthday well-wishes for Thugger’s 33rd trip around the Sun via his Instagram page. Not only that, but Tip’s comments predicting that the case might be over soon could actually turn out to be prophetic. Fani Willis’ Republican opponent for the Fulton County District Attorney race this year promised to dismiss the case if elected. While this is just a hypothetical situation, it did raise a lot of questions around whether or not this case will conclude with a verdict or with mistrials.
“Happy Birthday 2 my brother 4L King Spyda / Super Slizzy / Mr. Cleveland Ave / Thugga Thugga / The Iconic Prolific Legend himself Lil Jeff,” T.I. expressed to Young Thug. “Keep standing solid & Stay strong homie. Every storm will run out of rain & I can see a major comeback happening

Meanwhile, one of Young Thug’s closest associates, Gunna, also wished him a happy birthday recently. This interested many fans because it added onto a lot of speculation around whether or not Wunna snitched on YSL and what their relationship looks like now. Although all signs point to the conclusion that they’re still cool, some fans still want a stronger conclusion. We’ll see if the near future holds anything important in that regard.

Nicki Minaj Reaches Settlement With YouTuber Who Accused Her Of Cocaine Use
Back in 2022, Nicki Minaj filed a lawsuit against YouTuber Marley Green, otherwise known as Nosey Heaux. The suit in question was over a video of Green making various false claims about the “FTCU” performer, including that she uses cocaine. She labeled Nicki a “cokehead” and alleged that she was “shoving all this cocaine up her nose.”
Now, the rapper has come out victorious, as they’ve finally reached a settlement. As part of the settlement, Green has agreed not to publicly discuss Nicki, her husband Kenneth Petty, or her son Papa Bear in the future. She also had to acknowledge that “everything she said about Nicki Minaj using or abusing cocaine was false.”

She also must admit publicly that “she never had any evidence of Nicki Minaj using or abusing cocaine or any other drug.” If Green ends up breaching the agreement, she must pay Nicki $50K for each offense, according to TMZ. While Green is no longer allowed to accuse Nicki of using drugs, she’s far from the first person to do so. Earlier this year, countless social media users accused her of going on a “coke rant” about Megan Thee Stallion following the release of her track, “Hiss.”
At the time, Nicki denied the allegations, insisting she’s never used the substance. “Whenever you see the words ‘coke rant’ you know they mad,” she wrote on X. “If y’all hear how loud I’m laughing. [laughing emojis]. I’ve never done coke in my life. But if I did, I’d do it proudly.” What do you think of Nicki Minaj finally settling her lawsuit against Nosey Heaux?

HNHH Fire Emoji Playlist: Stream
Fortunately, if you’re a fan of posse cuts, Fire Emoji has more thanks to That Mexican OT, Curren$y, and Le$’ “1982.” This is a fast-flowing but still smooth and ethereal cut that pushes these rappers’ lyrical limits while making a pleasant and engaging sonic combination. Rob49 also came through with a lot of energy on his latest revamped collab with Skilla Baby and now GloRilla, “Mama.” There’s a lot of charisma on this single thanks to their performances, and a menacing hard trap instrumental that keeps the bounce up.
Meanwhile, Latto updated her new album Sugar Honey Iced Tea with the fan-favorite “Chicken Grease” bonus track, adding to the LP’s longevity. Finally, speaking of new albums, we got a brand new Gangsta Grillz mixtape this week in the form of Gucci Mane’s Greatest Of All Trappers, on which “Rich N***az” is a highlight.

Larsa Pippen & Porsha Williams Joke About Marcus Jordan’s Drug Use Allegations
Earlier this month, Marcus Jordan was photographed snorting a white substance with friends in France. It remains unclear exactly what this substance was, but as expected, social media users have a few ideas. The news arrived just a few months after he and his ex, Larsa Pippen, went their separate ways. They were previously believed to be on good terms following the breakup, though it now appears as though she could be throwing some shade his way.
Yesterday, she took to Instagram to share a selfie, which shows her holding up what looks to be an alcoholic beverage. “Sipping,” she captioned the post simply. Shortly after, Porsha Williams took to her comments section with an apparent reference to Jordan’s drug use allegations. “Sipping not sniffing,” she wrote alongside a couple of playful emojis. “Never that 
,” Pipped then replied.

Larsa Pippen & Porsha Williams Seemingly Shade Marcus Jordan With “Sniffing” Comments
The apparent jabs come amid reports that Pippen believed Jordan lied about using drugs throughout their relationship. “She can’t waste her energy on anyone who takes drugs,” a source told Marca per Vibe. “He’s been hiding this lifestyle for a while and used to lie to her about it every day.” At the time of writing, Pippen’s relationship status is unknown, though Jordan has recently started dating influencer Ashley Stevenson. She too was spotted in the photos of his alleged drug use, though she herself was not seen using anything.
Of course, it’s uncertain whether or not Pippen intended to be shady towards her ex with her latest remark, though it appears as though Williams did. What do you think of Larsa Pippen and Porsha Williams’ seemingly shady comments about Marcus Jordan and his recent drug use allegations? Are you surprised about them or not?

Trick Daddy Doubles Down On GloRilla Thirst With Explicit Rant
Earlier this week, Trick Daddy hopped online to share his appreciation for GloRilla. He posted a photo of her posing in a mirror, complimenting her bathroom. “Damn Glo I’m loving this bathroom [side eye emoji],” he wrote. As expected, social media users were quick to call him out. Many had issues with his behavior, arguing that it was disrespectful and creepy to thirst for the “TGIF” rapper publicly.
It looks like Trick Daddy was unbothered by the backlash, however. Today, he took to social media once again, this time getting extremely explicit with his remarks about GloRilla. Essentially, he said he wanted to sleep with her, and that she’d rap about it after. This latest video has earned him a great deal of backlash in The Neighborhood Talk‘s comments section, and most can agree that he crossed the line.

Trick Daddy Discusses GloRilla
“This is disturbing to say the least,” one Instagram user writes. “Immediately no,” someone else says. At the time of writing, GloRilla has yet to address his remarks, so it remains unclear exactly how she feels about all of this. She isn’t the first femcee Trick Daddy has shown love to in recent weeks, however, as he also praised Sexyy Red on his podcast this month. He was much more respectful at the time, claiming that she was snubbed at the BET Awards.
“You got snubbed,” he began. “Sexyy Red was up for the rapper, entertainer, performer. One of ’em other year. I remember last year, they was hating on her since she wasn’t making, now I can’t go in a club. I can’t step in a club without hearing some Sexyy Red.” What do you think about Trick Daddy doubling down on his thirst for GloRilla? Has he crossed the line?
