Megan Thee Stallion is set to headline the first-ever year of the new LA3C music festival, alongside Snoop Dogg, Maluma, and Seventeen on the lineup. Taking place on December 10 and 11 at Los Angeles’ State Historic Park, the Penske Media-created fest will showcase a range of creators in varied artistic mediums.

Megan will be the headliner on December 10, with Maluma on the second day. A full programming schedule for the new event will be released soon. LA3C — which stands for Los Angeles, the Capital of Culture and Creativity — “aims to connect people and communities by showcasing LA’s range of multicultural food and art from some of the world’s most talented artists,” per Variety (which is ran by Penske Media).

“I have always been inspired by Los Angeles, its people, its vibrancy, its diversity, and its creativity,” the company’s CEO Jay Penske shared in a statement. “We are proudly building an event with a significant long-term vision. Right now, being together in person means so much to us all. Our event will be a place to celebrate and give back to this incredible city and the people who make it so unique.”

“We believe that Los Angeles is a place where people come to pursue their creative passions and a place where talent, diversity and culture thrive,” LA3C’s chief executive Juan Mora added. “Our programming is meant to reflect our community and to create an inclusive environment where all feel welcome.”

While the LA3C had previously been scheduled for December 2021, it was postponed from the pandemic and moved to 2022. There are currently three ticketed tiers available, including GA, GA+, and VIP.

Snoop Dogg Is Being Turned Into A Full Funko Pop Collection Featuring His Most Iconic Looks

Funko, that toy company best-known for its line of cartoony, big-headed vinyl figurines, has become truly ubiquitous in recent years, thanks to its uncanny ability to license basically every likeness known to pop culture.

And while the bulk of the attention those Funko Pop! statues get focuses on the ones for sci-fi and geek culture mainstays like Rick And Morty, Squid Games, Star Wars, and Marvel, Funko appears to be doing some tidy business in branching out to hip-hop icons as well. In the past, such familiar faces as Lil Wayne and Tupac Shakur have been turned into Pops, and now, they’ll be joined by a rapper who is every bit as omnipresent as Pops are: Snoop Dogg.

As with all things Snoop, Funko is really blowing it out, releasing a full collection of Snoop Dogg looks. There’s Snoop dressed as a pimp and in his guise as a friendly neighborhood rapper, complete with afro and checkered shirt. There’s one with Snoop in his beloved Lakers jersey and another in a Pittsburgh Steelers jersey that I have to believe wouldn’t possibly have been approved if Funko management knew what it really represented (there’s a “20” on it, for crying out loud). There’s even a normal-proportioned Vinyl GOLD figurine if the Pops are too cutesy for the fanbase.

But the best one is the Pop! Album figure for Doggystyle. The Pendleton. Those braids. That’s classic Snoop and is almost certainly the one going on the desk at work. You can check them all out here.

Dr. Dre, Eminem, Snoop Dogg, Mary J. Blige, Kendrick Lamar, and 50 Cent won two Creative Arts EMMY Awards for their performance at the 2022 Pepsi Super Bowel LVI Halftime Show. The wins were for Outstanding Variety Special (Live) and Outstanding Production Design for a Variety special.

The show dubbed online as “Hip-Hop’s Super Bowl” featured a blend of all the stars performing together and covered “The Next Episode,” “California Love,” “m.A.A.d City” and more. But for a show that was largely about West Coast Hip-Hop and pupils of Dr. Dre, The Game was missing. Throughout the following months, The Game would speak openly about his disappointment in not touching the stage.

Following the show, The Compton legend reposted a message from an associate reading, “FYI: @losangelesconfidential Should’ve been on stage at the Super Bowl I’ll be first to say it.” The Game reposted the message to his Instagram with the simple message of “Shit brazy fr”

With a shiny new Emmy award to his name, 50 Cent took the opportunity to once again troll the Compton rapper. I just won my Emmy award [clapping emojis] for the super bowl half time show. LOL.” He followed that message by posting an image of The Game with “No Caption needed.”

The Game would reply with an image of 50 calling him a “#SpicyAssNigga” before 50 spinned the block with another troll: “oh no, i’m sorry you don’t get one [trophy emoji]. Then the first week 18k, if you need someone to talk to i’m here for you. LOL.”

Last night, the Television Academy announced that this year’s Super Bowl halftime performance, which took place this past February and featured Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Eminem, 50 Cent, Mary J. Blige, And Kendrick Lamar, had won three Creative Arts Emmy awards.

On social media, the Academy revealed that the performance won the awards for Outstanding Variety Special (Live), Outstanding Production Design for a Variety Special, and Outstanding Music Direction.

This year’s Super Bowl was an iconic moment for hip-hop, largely for West Coast hip-hop. In a July interview with Apple Music 1, Blige sat down to reflect on the monumental performance.

“I don’t even have the words to explain how full and how huge of an accomplishment that was,” Blige said. “I just felt so strong. And I felt like, first of all, grateful to have been asked, but I definitely felt like I earned that moment,” Blige remarked. “So when it was my turn, I just showed the world who I was. If you’d never seen me or you never met me or you never went to any of my shows, you know exactly who I am after the Super Bowl. I just couldn’t wait to hit the Mary bopping. I just couldn’t wait to just be myself and do what I do in front of that audience. That was the world, that was a big deal. I was so grateful.”

Mary J. Blige is a Warner Music artist. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.
