Snoop Dogg Calls Out The Los Angeles Lakers For A Disappointing Season

December 13, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Snoop Dogg is a big NBA fan, so it’s no surprise that he is a member of Laker Nation and is one of many fans disappointed with how the Los Angeles Lakers have shown their basketball prowess this season. They kicked off on a great foot, but with a current eighth seed placement in the Western Conference and a 3-7 record for their past ten games, things don’t look great. As such, many die-hards are calling on general manager Rob Pelinka and owner Jeanie Buss to make some big moves as executives, including Tha Doggfather. He recently stopped by ESPN‘s First Take on Friday (December 13) to make his demands clear.

“I think that we need to make some changes, man,” Snoop Dogg remarked. “Like, we brought back the exact same team from last year. No disrespect, but that ain’t gon’ cut it. We need to make some moves, move some people around, and you know, make some adjustments. Like, Jeanie, what’s the dude’s name? Hello, where you at? What you doing? Come on, man, make some moves, some adjustments. There’s some people out there that we can have on our squad, and you just got to make the decision that it’s time to make that move. Because, as Laker fans, y’all are on the clock. Y’all got to hurry up before we end up cussing y’all out and going all in on y’all like we normally do. Right now, we’re on television being very professional. But on Instagram, y’all can get it.”

Snoop Dogg Demands A Big Move From The Los Angeles Lakers

Trade season in the NBA this year will open up Zach LaVine, Brandon Ingram, Jimmy Butler, and more for a potential slot, so we’ll see if the Lakers do anything. As for Snoop Dogg, he’s got more pressing matters to focus on, such as his new album with Dr. Dre, Missionary. But he’ll also defend his fandom and push his team to greatness whenever he can.

Meanwhile, Snoop Dogg also recently opened up about his daughter’s stroke and how difficult it was for the family to handle. Fortunately, it seems like things are much better now.

Snoop Dogg Called Out Jeanie Buss And Rob Pelinka Amid Lakers Struggles: ‘Where Ya At? Make Some Moves’

December 13, 2024 by newhiphopnews

After a hot start to the 2024-25 season, things have taken a turn for the worse for the Los Angeles Lakers, as they’ve gone 3-7 in their last 10 games to fall to 13-11, with a tenuous hold on 8th in the West. As of now, it looks like another year where the Lakers will be battling for Play-In position and having to play their way into the playoffs, as has been the case ever since L.A. won the title in 2020.

For a team with LeBron James and Anthony Davis, that’s falling short of expectations and it’s become clear that the Lakers needed to do more than simply make a coaching change to get to that next level. Swapping in JJ Redick for Darvin Ham hasn’t yielded any miracles just yet, which has further shifted the pressure from Laker fans onto the shoulders of GM Rob Pelinka and owner Jeanie Buss. You can count Snoop Dogg among the group of fans calling on the Lakers brass to do something, as the rap legend went on ESPN’s First Take on Friday and called out the top two decision-makers for the Lakers, asking “where ya at? Make some moves.”

I think it’s fair to say that Snoop speaks for a good chunk of Laker Nation with this statement, as Lakers fans have been begging the team to make a substantial move for a few years now. The last time they took a big swing they struck out in rather dramatic fashion with the trade for Russell Westbrook, and since then Pelinka and Buss have been unwilling to empty the cupboard on future draft assets in an effort to land another star. With the likes of Zach LaVine, Brandon Ingram, and Jimmy Butler all known to be available as trade season arrives in the NBA, there are certainly options for the Lakers if they want to try and pursue those. How they proceed will tell us a lot about how invested they are in trying to maximize the end of LeBron’s career, and if they don’t show a willingness to make a big move, then we can figure to get another round of Warriors-LeBron rumors.

Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre Reunite for Landmark Album ‘Missionary’

December 13, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Global icon Snoop Dogg has released his highly anticipated studio album, Missionary, produced by longtime collaborator Dr. Dre. The album, available via Death Row, Aftermath, and Interscope, marks the first joint effort from the legendary duo since Snoop’s 1994 debut, Doggystyle. Nearly three decades later, their chemistry is as powerful as ever.

Missionary is a milestone for Snoop, serving as the 20th album of his storied career. More than just a collection of songs, it is a cultural moment, solidifying the duo’s legacy while introducing a fresh chapter for one of music’s most iconic partnerships.

Fans got a preview of the album with singles like “Outta Da Blue” featuring Alus, “Another Part of Me” featuring Sting, and “Gorgeous” featuring Jhené Aiko. The tracks debuted at No. 29 on Billboard’s R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay chart, marking Snoop and Dre’s return to the chart after 13 years.

Reflecting on their collaboration, Snoop says, “We [still] in love with what we do. I’m peaking right now and Dr. Dre see that. He brings the best out of me because he’s particular about everything I say, the way I deliver it, the fuckin’ music and the concept of the songs.”

With Missionary, Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre celebrate their past and reaffirm their relevance and mastery in shaping the future of music.

Snoop Dogg, Eminem, & 50 Cent Finally Collaborate On One Song With “Gunz N Smoke”

December 13, 2024 by newhiphopnews

A legendary cast has just been assembled on “Gunz N Smoke.” This is one of 16 new tracks from Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre and all of them are packaged on Missionary. It’s their first album together since Doggystyle back in 1993, and it’s been one of the most anticipated hip-hop listens of the year. So far, fans are really loving the record, and it feels like we are in a mini revival of sorts. A lot of MCs from the 90s and 2000s are dropping some very solid bodies of work, and it’s been another reason why the genre has been riding high all 2024.

One track that we had to put the spotlight on though is “Gunz N Smoke.” Believe it or not, this is the first time that Snoop Dogg, 50 Cent, and Eminem have all been on the same track. It’s quite the shocking fact, but as the saying goes, “it’s better late than never.” It’s a straight up gangsta and hardcore hip-hop cut, with Fif setting the tone perfectly. It’s not the most lyrical verse out of the three, but it definitely does its job. Snoop follows next, and he finds a pocket immediately and skates all over the percussive-heavy beat. Slim Shady ties things up nicely with a mini retelling of his life as a teen and how he wanted to get famous by any means necessary. Now that he’s older, he’s not as willing to pick fights, but will if duty calls.

“Gunz N Smoke” – Snoop Dogg, Dr. Dre, Eminem, & 50 Cent

Quotable Lyrics:

Let’s take a second here for this moment of violence
You smell it in the air, product of my environment
I come from freestylin’ over gunshots and sirens
Nothing more gangster than my voice over these violins
Get down, lay down, it’s the wolf of the Dogg Pound, yeah
Playground, shakedown, Autobahn, no brakes now

50 Cent And Eminem Reunite On ‘Gunz N Smoke’ From Snoop Dogg And Dr. Dre’s New Album, ‘Missionary’

December 13, 2024 by newhiphopnews

20 years ago, Snoop Dogg, Dr. Dre, 50 Cent, and Eminem were running hip-hop, and all four of them are still getting after it today. In fact, they all just teamed up on “Gunz N Smoke,” a new one from Snoop and Dre’s just-released album, Missionary.

50 spoke about his admiration for Snoop in a recent interview with Big Boy, saying, “I’m a fan, I’m that first. This is why you seen him on ‘P.I.M.P.’ immediately. I’m listening to him and Dre before I could attract from him, you know what I’m saying? It’s an honor to work with him.”

He also recently discussed why he doesn’t make as much new music these days, saying, “A lot of the music, if you listen to the music that’s out right now, I have to tap into my stupid. I have to tap into the stupid side of me to write the right thing when it comes time to write the music. This is why I haven’t created as much content as I was creating in the past, and I started going toward the film production and development of these projects. Because I think I can impact things in a bigger way through that.”

Listen to “Gunz N Smoke” above.

Snoop Dogg And Dr. Dre Deliver The Goods With New Album “Missionary”

December 13, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre are the most iconic duo in hip hop history. They broke the mold with “Nuthin’ But a ‘G’ Thang” in 1992 and they haven’t looked back. They’ve also managed to keep the bar for their collaborations astoundingly high. 2001 and Compton were musical triumphs. And now we have the long anticipated Missionary, the sequel to Snoop Dogg’s debut, Doggystyle. Making a sequel to a classic is a daunting task, but Snoop and Dre manage to deliver the goods. Is it as good as their best material? Not really, but it’s still excellent.

The album opener, “Fore Play,” is a soulful and lush banger featuring BJ the Chicago Kid. It sets the table by establishing a laid back and G-Funk anchored sound. It works perfectly. The singles have been hit or miss, especially the Sting collaboration “Another Part of Me.” Fortunately, the gimmickry is at a minimum throughout the album. Missionary plays it straight, while allowing Snoop Dogg to flex his chemistry with a ton of superstar guests. 50 Cent and Eminem shine on the posse cut “Gunz N Smoke,” and Dr. Dre does his thing on his trio of guest verses. “Outta da Blue” is probably the standout cut in terms of Dre rhymes. Unlikely features also deliver, whether it be Jelly Roll or the late, great Tom Petty. Missionary can feel a bit like a kitchen sink album, sometimes, but the final product is a lot of fun.

Let us know what you think of this brand new album, in the comments section down below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the music world. We will continue to keep you informed on all of your favorite artists and their upcoming projects.

Snoop Dogg & His Daughter Open Up About Her Frightening Stroke

December 12, 2024 by newhiphopnews

In mid-January of this year, Snoop Dogg’s youngster child and only daughter, Cori Broadus, suffered a stroke. She described it as “severe”, and it sounded like it was completely unexpected. After getting some treatment from doctors, she was able to update her followers and publicly vent about it. “I started breaking down crying when they told me.” She later added, “Like I’m only 24, what did I do in my past to deserve all of this.” To say that the singer and entrepreneur’s life has been difficult would be an understatement. Since the age of six, she’s been dealing with the chronic autoimmune disease, lupus. That alone is already a challenging thing to go through, especially since your body is never consistently 100 percent.

It goes beyond just the physical ailments for her though. Back in 2021, Cori also attempted to take her own life due to troubling depression and her mental health. Overall, it’s been a lot to handle for Cori, but she’s been doing better since the stroke. She and Snoop Dogg recently got candid about that day and the time following it with Us Weekly, according to AllHipHop. For the rapper extraordinaire, it sounds like he’s been doing his best to avoid thinking about it. “It’s hard for me to revisit that day,” he began. “Anyone who knows me knows my daughter is my kryptonite.” Cori added, “I think it really scared everyone… You know, a stroke is no joke. It brought me and my family closer, [realizing] that anything can happen in the snap of a finger.”

Snoop Dogg & Cori Realized How Fragile Life Can Be

It especially shook her to the core as well given how great she was feeling prior to it. “I was celebrating at a party, and then the next day, I’m in the hospital,” she said. As a father, Snoop couldn’t be prouder of Cori. Toward the end of the interview, he expressed his unwavering support for her and her efforts to be so open about her problems.

“Cori is very open in showing her truth, whether it’s talking about her struggles with mental health or her stroke. Most people wouldn’t feel comfortable sharing their experiences, but she wants to help people by showing that they are not alone.” Hearing that you can tell just how much they mean to each other. Overall, we continue to wish the best for Snoop, Cori, and their loved ones as she continues to grow stronger each and every day.

Snoop Dogg & Dr. Dre’s “Gin And Juice” Proves They Can Thrive In Any Era

December 12, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre go together like peanut butter and jelly. You can never separate the two, and they are an iconic pairing. They are also timeless and have excelled at any point in history as well. It’s why their upcoming project, Missionary, will be a fun listening experience. Even though they aren’t at the beginning of their careers anymore, their names and past works carry so much weight. Part of the reason for that is because of one of the most memorable hip-hop projects of all time, Doggystyle. Not too long ago, Snoop D-O-double-G’s debut turned 31 years old, and still, it sounds extremely fresh.

That’s thanks to the sounds of songs like “Gin and Juice,” it’s most popular track. The G-funk subgenre in general is so smooth and accessible that it can excel in so many scenarios. Whether it be at a party, kick back, or while just doing stuff around the house, the instrumentation utilized give it that endless replay factor. It’s why this track and so many others on Doggystyle still ring off today. In a way, we hope that Missionary will give off that full circle moment type of feel. Even an improvement or update to their formula would make for a great time. The early reviews are suggesting that, so it sounds like we are headed for more excellence from the Dr. and Snoop.

“Gin And Juice” – Snoop Dogg

Quotable Lyrics:

With so much drama in the L-B-C
It’s kind of hard bein’ Snoop D-O-double-G
But I, somehow, some way
Keep comin’ up with funky-a** s***, like, every single day
May I kick a little something (Yeah)
For the Gs and make a few ends (Yeah)

Dr. Dre & Snoop Dogg Continue Rollout For “Missionary” With Explosive Teaser Trailer

December 11, 2024 by newhiphopnews

It’s almost that time folks! In just about 48 hours, Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre will be dropping off Missionary, their new collaborative album in over 30 years. It’s a major reunion, as Doggystyle is a staple in the West Coast, but also in hip-hop overall. It helped catapult both of their careers even further and has also given us one of the best duos in the genre of all time. Even though they aren’t really in the prime years anymore, there has been plenty of excitement surrounding this project. It’s for good reason, as both icons are known to put out quality together. Additionally, some of the older acts this year have put out great bodies of work, such as LL Cool J with The FORCE.

If he can do it, why can’t they? So far, the reception of the record has been very strong. Some were already raining praise on it, such as Russ, LeBron James, and more. They were bumping some of the album over at the studios of Drink Champs almost a month ago. Moreover, the singles have been more than enjoyable as well. So far, they include “Gorgeous” with Jhene Aiko, “Outta Da Blue,” and “Another Part Of Me” with rock band Sting.

Dr. Dre & Snoop Dogg Are Just Three Days Away From Missionary

Given how close we are, and the number of singles already out, you would think the rollout would be over by now. However, that’s not true one bit, according to AllHipHop. Recently, Dre and Snoop Dogg put out a minute-long album trailer on YouTube. It’s a jam-packed and eventul watch, which is probably what the listening experience for Missionary will be like.

It kicks off with the two album’s creators getting pulled over by a cop. The officer asks if they know why they got stopped, and Dre has a hilarious response. “DWB? Driving While Black?” From there, the visual, directed by Dave Meyers, gets chaotic. Crazy car stunts, dead bodies in a freezer, and vehicular explosions are all squeezed in. There appears to be some storyline here, as there is also a potential sneak peek at the music video for “Gorgeous” thrown in with some cameos from Jhene Aiko. Overall, we can’t wait for what’s to come and we don’t have to wait much longer now.

Snoop Dogg Bashes Lil Wayne For Kendrick Lamar Halftime Show Hate

December 10, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Snoop Dogg is a keeper of the flame in hip hop. He’s still active, of course, but he has graduated to legend status. His opinion matters, which is why he’s been so involved in the Kendrick Lamar saga. Snoop Dogg, a fellow West Coaster, has been riding with Lamar throughout his 2024 Young Money feuds. He picked Dot over Drake, and now he’s picking Dot over another legend, Lil Wayne. Snoop went as far as to criticize Weezy during a recent podcast appearance.

Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre went on Drink Champs to promote their upcoming album, Missionary. They talked about their friendship and legacy as a duo. They also, of course, talked about Kendrick Lamar. Both men have served as mentors to Lamar, and they promptly stuck up for him in the current feud between Kenny and Weezy. The whole thing stemmed from the fact that Lamar was chosen to headline the Super Bowl Halftime Show in Wayne’s hometown of New Orleans. Lil Wayne has expressed his disappointment with the decision, but Snoop Dogg believes he’s being too sensitive.

Snoop Dogg Accused Lil Wayne Of Acting Entitled

“This is a big event,” Snoop Dogg asserted. “You should just be honored that hip hop is being able to be seen on that platform, for all of us, and not hate on the next man, but be happy.” Snoop, who performed alongside Dre (and Lamar) at the 2022 Super Bowl, was confused by Lil Wayne’s sense of entitlement. He didn’t believe any artist should be “guaranteed” a spot, regardless of where the Halftime Show is set. “I didn’t feel like I was supposed to be there or in demand to be there,” he said about his Halftime appearance. “People look at everything when they pick the person to perform.”

Snoop Dogg did not reference Lil Wayne by name. He did, however, praise JAY-Z for giving hip hop artists an opportunity to shine on a huge stage. “Before JAY-Z got control of the Super Bowl, wasn’t no n**gas performing,” he asserted. “He’s creating a wave of artists that have an opportunity to perform.” Snoop Dogg then addressed Weezy indirectly. He told the veteran rapper that his time will come, if not in 2025 then in the future. For two men who were referenced on Kendrick Lamar’s “wacced out murals,” Snoop and Wayne could not be further apart on the Super Bowl issue.
