“Living Single” Stars: Where Are They Now?

by

The groundbreaking sitcom Living Single was one of the most popular Black shows of the ‘90s. It aired for five stellar seasons from 1993 to 1998. It also became one of Fox’s highest-rated and most-watched shows at the time. Living Single was created by Yvette Lee Bowser and follows the lives of six friends living in a Brooklyn brownstone. The hilarious sitcom is a comedic classic and features a great ensemble cast who brilliantly, and hilariously portrayed their now-iconic characters. 

Living Single has also been subject to reboot rumors over the years. Understandably, such a groundbreaking series is now a classic among Black households. The show explored the friends’ careers, relationships, and personal growth. Furthermore, it touched on important social issues which make it an evergreen series.

In the years since its series finale, Living Single has gained a cult following and has received unending praise for its impact. It remains one of the most influential Black shows of all time, and the blueprint for similar sitcoms that came after. It’s been 30 years since the acclaimed sitcom premiered, and its cast has since moved on to other things.

The curated assemblage also features iconic personalities in hip-hop history, such as Run-DMC, Snoop Dogg, Tupac Shakur, Dr. Dre, The Notorious B.I.G., Beastie Boys, Jay-Z, Eminem and the Wu-Tang Clan, among others.

The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts (commonly referred to as the Kennedy Center) has announced its 2023 Kennedy Center Honorees and among them is Queen Latifah, the first female rapper to be honored by the Kennedy Center. This is fitting, as 2023 also marks the 50th anniversary of the birth of hip-hop, and Queen Latifah has been a massive part of that history as an artist, manager, producer, and all-around ambassador for hip-hop since the late ’80s.

Her accolades include a Grammy Award for her 1993 single “U.N.I.T.Y.” (which she won over Snoop Dogg in a funny story he shared in his upcoming book), classic film roles like the one DJ Drama recently remade from Juice, and inspiring a generation of modern MCs/moguls like Lizzo and Megan Thee Stallion. She currently stars in a remake of the The Equalizer and still finds time to perform, with a headlining set at Rock The Bells Festival coming this summer.

The Kennedy Centered previously honored LL Cool J — the first rapper to receive the honor — and hosted a special performance of Nas’ seminal debut Illmatic with the National Symphony Orchestra, so Latifah’s in good company. The remaining four honorees this year are Billy Crystal, Renée Fleming, Barry Gibb, and Dionne Warwick.

Snoop Dogg Partners With Jack In The Box For “Munchie Meal”

by

Snoop Dogg has unveiled his latest collaboration. This time around, it’s with Jack In The Box, a fast-food chain. It has been aptly dubbed the “Munchie Meal.” The rapper and the food chain announced the meal on Monday in a comical video shared on Instagram. Snoop Dogg and the company’s mascot, Jack Box, are seen entering the restaurant chain’s offices wearing matching dark blue velour suits and carrying briefcases. As Snoop Dogg’s 1993 hit single, “Who Am I? What’s My Name” plays in the background, Jack Box opens his briefcase to reveal the contents of the “Munchie Meal.”

The meal includes a Spicy Sauced & Loaded Chicken Sando, a taco, Seasoned Curly Fries, and a large fountain drink. Snoop Dogg adds the final touch to the meal by introducing the Baked Brownie. The “Munchie Meal” is available until August 6. However, fans couldn’t help but wonder if the brownie is infused with cannabis, given Snoop Dogg’s association with the drug. Some fans asked in the comments section if the brownie contained any special ingredients. They jokingly speculated that it might have a “lil something” in it.

Snoop Reflects On Success In His New Book

The “Munchie Meal” is not all Snoop Dogg has been promoting. The rapper has been in a reflective mood recently. In a snippet of his new Audible audio book, titled From Tha Streets to the Suites, he looked back at how it felt to lose a Grammy. Snoop shared a story about how Queen Latifah comforted him when his hit song “Gin and Juice” didn’t win a Grammy. Despite feeling disappointed, Queen Latifah expressed her love for the song and told Snoop Dogg that it was her favorite. This praise from the Queen helped him quickly overcome his disappointment and move on.

Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre, his long-time collaborator, have also been cooking some things up for the fans. The pair have been teasing their highly anticipated new album, Missionary. Snoop Dogg recently shared a photo on Instagram of Dr. Dre working on new music. This, of course, hinted that fans will soon be treated to new tracks from the West Coast legends. While an exact release date is still unknown, Snoop Dogg assured fans in the caption that the new music is coming soon. What do you think of the “Munchie Meal”? Will you try it? Let us know in the comments!

Snoop Dogg Recalled What Queen Latifah Said To Ease His Pain After Losing To Her At The Grammys

This is a celebratory year for Snoop Dogg, marking 50 years since hip-hop’s birth and 30 years since the release of his debut album. Doggystyle is supposed to receive a sequel album from Snoop and Dr. Dre appropriately (or inappropriately, depending on who you ask) titled Missionary.

As Billboard relayed in April, Audible is also commemorating 50 years of hip-hop with original programming.

“Snoop’s Words + Music: From the Streets to the Suites will debut June 15 and honor the 30th anniversary of Doggystyle,” Billboard‘s Carl Lamarre wrote on April 21. “According to a press release, From the Streets will find Snoop reflecting ‘on his coming-of-age journey from the streets of Long Beach to around the world and his decision to pursue love and life over death and destruction.’ It also touches on his days ‘from singing in the church choir as a boy to meeting Dr. Dre and eventually buying Death Row Records.’”

On Sunday, June 11, HipHopDX shared an advanced snippet from the Audible Original that finds Snoop specifically recalling “Gin And Juice” being nominated at the 37th Grammy Awards in 1994.

“Queen Latifah approached me about that song, right? ‘Cause me and her was nominated for a Grammy — that song against ‘U.N.I.T.Y.,’ and she won. And I was hurt,” Snoop said in the clip. “But she was like, ‘N****, I love ‘Gin And Juice.’ That’s my favorite sh*t,’ so then I got unhurt fast.”

He continued, “You know, a muthaf*cka gets hurt ’cause he lose and sh*t, but I’m like, damn, this is the Queen, n****. Bow down. This is the muthaf*ckin’ queen, and she told me that. She said, ‘But I love ‘Gin And Juice.’ That’s my favorite sh*t.’ So, I was like, you know what? I can take that L.”

Snoop’s “Gin And Juice” lost to Latifah’s “U.N.I.T.Y.” in the Best Rap Solo Performance category.

Snoop Dogg has been nominated for 16 Grammys throughout his iconic career but is still awaiting his first win.

Queen Latifah Songs: Rap Icon’s Best Hits

by

Queen Latifah has cemented herself as one of Hollywood’s most versatile icons. The veteran talent may have gained insurmountable success as an actress, but her career took off as a conscious, confident rapper. She was born Dana Elaine Owens in 1970 and rose to fame in the late ’80s as one of hip hop’s female pioneers. Queen Latifah’s songs quickly gained her a reputation as a skilled lyricist, and as a result, she helped pave the way for many rappers after her. 

In 1989, at 19, Queen Latifah released her debut album, All Hail the Queen. The album introduced the artist and featured the hit song “Ladies First.” By 1993, Queen Latifah had made history as the first solo female rapper to have an RIAA-certified Gold album with their third album Black Reign. The album spawned the song “U.N.I.T.Y.,” which has won Queen Latifah her first and only Grammy Award. 

Additionally, Queen Latifah became the first hip hop artist to receive a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. This was due to her widespread success as a musician and actress. Her music has covered several topics many Black women can relate to and touched on important subjects, particularly women’s empowerment. Queen Latifah made her mark during the Golden Age of Hip Hop; her legacy is untouchable. With many legendary songs to her name, the following are Queen Latifah’s best rap hits. 

5. “Court Is In Session” (1998)

By Queen Latifah’s fourth album, Order in the Court, the rapper was ready to declare herself a powerhouse musician. While she had always had an air of confidence, she was taking no prisoners on Order in the Court. The album’s second track, “Court Is In Session,” let the world know that she was to be revered. Queen Latifah’s songs often detailed the strength of the Black community, and this was no different. In “Court Is In Session,” Queen Latifah rapped braggadociously about her undisputed influence and legacy. 

4. “Black Hand Side” (1994)

Black Reign featured many of Queen Latifah’s most popular songs. After the successes of “U.N.I.T.Y.” and “Just Another Day…”, the rapper delivered yet another anthem with “Black Hand Side.” The song featured a sample of “Hello It’s Me” by The Isley Brothers and perfectly blended hip hop and R&B. “Black Hand Side” was all about Black pride and camaraderie. Queen Latifah raps with a positive air, charging the Black community to be more united. The album opener gave listeners a significant idea about what Black Reign was all about — community and strength as a people despite any adversities.

3. “Just Another Day…” (1993)

“Just Another Day…” was released as the second single from Black Reign. In the affirmative track, Queen Latifah showed off a more vulnerable side. “Just Another Day…” asserted that she was immensely proud of her hometown and neighborhood. The rapper’s smooth delivery was backed by a positive message of perseverance through trials and finding the beauty in the everyday. Queen Latifah took listeners on a soulful journey and presented a more personal side to her life.

2. “Ladies First” (1989)

The song that began Queen Latifah’s meteoric rise to fame as a rapper was 1989’s “Ladies First.” On the track, she featured fellow rapper Monie Love. Queen Latifah kicked off her career as an outspoken voice on the subject of female solidarity. “Ladies First” celebrates the importance of women and quickly became a feminist anthem. It remained one of Queen Latifah’s most iconic songs and proved early on that she would be one of hip hop’s finest acts. 

1. “U.N.I.T.Y.” (1993)

After an underperforming sophomore album, Queen Latifah returned in full force with her third album Black Reign. The twelfth track on the album, “U.N.I.T.Y.” proved a game changer in the rapper’s repertoire. Queen Latifah ventured into sensitive territory and delivered one of her most memorable tracks ever. “U.N.I.T.Y” addressed issues of equal rights, sexism, domestic violence, and respect for women. Another iconic feminist anthem was born, and the song garnered acclaim from critics and fans.

“U.N.I.T.Y.” would later win the Grammy Award for Best Rap Solo Performance. It is also Queen Latifah’s most commercially successful single. With “U.N.I.T.Y.,” Queen Latifah charged men to do away with slurs aimed at women in hip hop culture. Its evergreen message continues to be important two decades after its release.

Queen Latifah’s Legacy

Through her work as a musician, Queen Latifah has become a pioneer for women’s empowerment and unity. She can effortlessly switch between hard-hitting rap flows and soothing vocal melodies. Queen Latifah’s songs often featured thought-provoking lyricism and calls to action. Her artistry remains untouchable, and though she’s made remarkable strides as an actress, the world will forever remember her culturally significant rap hits.

“The Rap Game” Winners: Where Are They Now?

by

The Rap Game is a TV show which premiered on Lifetime on January 1, 2016. Music producer Jermaine Dupri is the executive producer of the show, together with Queen Latifah and Shakim Compere. The show’s premise involves Dupri mentoring five aspiring rappers aged 12 to 16. The series portrays budding young artists navigating the highly competitive music industry. The contestants lived together in a house for approximately eight weeks. They undergo a series of challenges designed to test their lyrical skills, stage presence, and overall potential.

Each week, the contestants are ranked based on their performances. Their ultimate goal is to secure a recording contract with Dupri’s label, So So Def Recordings. Guest mentors, including prominent figures in the rap and hip-hop industry, appear throughout the show. They typically provide guidance and inspiration to the contestants. Jeezy, Usher, T.I., Snoop Dogg, Ludacris, and Da Brat have appeared on the series.

The Rap Game has generally been praised for its authentic portrayal of the music industry’s challenges. The show has also been lauded for providing a platform for young talent to shine while offering viewers a behind-the-scenes look at what it takes to succeed in hip-hop. One of its biggest successes is Latto. Jermaine Dupri recently gave his thoughts on Latto and responded to criticisms that he might have “dropped the ball” with the Atlanta raptress. The legendary producer said that he produced and put out Latto’s first song, but she only caught mainstream attention after she changed her image and started making music for an adult audience. Besides Latto, the show has had five seasons and four other winners. Here is a rundown of what they are currently up to.

Latto (Season 1, 2016)

Miss Mulatto changed her stage name to just Mulatto following her win in 2016. She released her first mixtape, MulaMob, later that year. Her 2019 EP, Big Latto, caught the attention of RCA Records, leading to the “Big Energy” rapper securing her first record deal. The project included the single “Bitch From Da Souf,” which went viral and was later remixed with features from fellow southern rappers Saweetie and Trina.

In 2020, Latto released her debut studio album, Queen of Da Souf, which charted at No. 44 on the Billboard 200. The project was generally met with positive critical reception. The album included notable tracks like “Muwop” featuring Gucci Mane and “On God.” Latto’s feature on the remix of Chloe x Halle’s “Do It” also received significant airplay. She would stop using the name Mullato after criticism stemming from the derogative origins of the name.

Latto has amassed a billion streams on Spotify thanks to hit singles like “Big Energy,” “Bitch From The Souf,” and “Muwop.” Her new single “Put It On Da Floor,” with less than a month on YouTube, currently has 2.2 million views.

Mani Da Don(Season 2, 2016)

Mani wasted no time in capitalizing on his newfound fame after winning the second season of The Rap Game TV show. He founded his own label, Fly City Entertainment, and signed himself. He released his debut single, “You Thought,” in 2016. The song showcases his lyrical prowess and upbeat style. The track received media attention and began Mani’s journey in the commercial music landscape.

Mani released his official debut album in 2021 called Had a Talk Wit da Streets, And I Forgive You. “Meet da Rubberbandit$ (Ha Ha Ha)” and “Prada Mama” are his most streamed songs on Spotify. The former is his latest single from the South Central L.A. native. “They Know Me” is his most-viewed song on YouTube, with over 600,000 views. Mani has consistently delivered projects since The Rap Game gave him a platform. His latest single, “Brrkn & Heels,” released two weeks ago, already has 20,000 views.

Nova (Season 3, 2017)

After winning Season 3 of The Rap Game TV show, Nova released his debut single, “Stay Over,” which showcased his lyrical talent and unique rap style. Jermaine Dupri produces the song and features R&B crooner Jacquees. Spotify has listed one official album from the Pennsylvania native called The Quarantine. Nova released the project in 2020. It features songs like “Devastated,” “Dream Catcher,” and “Tales.” Nova’s most streamed songs on Spotify include “Look Out Below,” “Go Harder,” “Stay Over,” and “Riding My Wave.” All these singles have over 150,000 listens. Nova hasn’t uploaded any new music on YouTube since The Quarantine album, but his most popular music video, “Save The Kid,” has 1.4 million views.

Steet Bud (Season 4, 2018)

The Season 4 winner of The Rap Game is Street Bud, real name, Sen’Derrick Marks Jr. Steet Bud hails from Atlanta, Georgia. The rapper is the youngest TV show winner at just 13 years. In the wake of his triumph Street Bud released his debut single, “Run My Check Up,” in 2018. The single helped the rapper launch his rap career.

Street Bud released his debut album Back 2 the Lab in 2020. The project included standout tracks like “Get It” and “No Cap.” In 2020, Street Bud collaborated with popular rapper and mentor Quavo, from the hip-hop trio Migos, on the track “Open House.” The song was well-received, further enhancing Street Bud’s profile in the industry. “Open House” is currently his most successful single, earning over three million spins on Spotify.
