Three Giant Snoop Dogg Bobbleheads Were Stolen From Philadelphia Grocery Stores

by

Smoking with Snoop Dogg seems like one of those life experiences you wind up telling people about for the rest of your life. Case in point: Nearly every celebrity, from Seth Rogen to Nick Jonas — and even non-celebrities like Florence Pugh’s mom — who has ever had a session with Snoop has a story to tell and really enjoys telling it. However, for the rest of us, the prospect of receiving a pass to the left from the Doggfather might seem woefully out-of-reach. One might even go to extreme lengths to smoke with the Dogg, like someone in Philadelphia apparently did according to the local news.

The perpetrators in question reportedly stole three Snoop Dogg bobbleheads from three grocery stores in the Philadelphia area, rushing in and making off with the statues. But, they’re not just any bobbleheads; each one is three feet tall and was sent to the stores by Corona as part of his “La Vida Mas Fina” campaign. One of the thieves went so far as to put the Snoop statue into a grocery cart and roll it right out the front door. Police won’t say that the thefts are related, but my unprofessional advice is to check out the local head shops. Something tells me the thieves probably spend a lot of time there.

According to CBS Philly, the statues might sell for over $1,000 on eBay, which could explain the extreme measures the thieves went to in order to secure them, but there’s always the possibility they just wanted a cool conversation piece for their bud holes (you just know Jason Mendoza would steal a Snoop Dogg bobblehead). Unfortunately, we don’t know what Snoop thinks about all this yet, but whenever he wakes up, it’s a safe bet he’ll post about it on his Instagram.

Snoop Dogg’s Milk Crate Challenge Play-By-Play Commentary Is Fittingly Hilarious

by

Among his many official moonlighting gigs, Snoop Dogg has become quite the in-demand sports analyst, often being tapped to provide hilariously down-to-earth play-by-play commentary on combat sports, hockey, and even the Olympics, where he described an equestrian event (not inaccurately) as “horse crip walkin’.” As full-time analyst Stephen A. Smith, who guest hosted Snoop’s appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! last night, put it, Snoop is stealing all the broadcasters’ jobs.

So, the pair thought it only appropriate for Snoop to offer his one-of-a-kind insights to videos of a different kind of athletic activity — one Stephen A. could help but disparage in his opening monologue as one of the “dumbest” new challenges currently sweeping social media: The milk crate challenge. The concept is simple: Ordinary people attempt to traverse a pyramid of milk crates stacked in ascending, then descending order, peaking at seven crates high.

It’s harder than it sounds, as the towers’ stability — and the person’s balance — will vary. Failure looks particularly painful; as Stephen A. put it, “First, you drink the milk from the crates to get strong bones, then you fall off the crates to break them?!” Showing Snoop a couple of clips prompted a few funny observations. “He’s off and running, standing up tall on it all,” Snoop rhymed over the first. “He’s got a cigarette in his right hand and he’s wobbling. Wobble, wobble, shaky, shaky. He’s got a wave cap on his head. I don’t understand why he got the wave cap, that’s weighing him down. Them shoes is too big for this situation. They too big. When he start to shake, you know it’s gonna break.”

Snoop also shared a few clips on his hyperactive Instagram with captions like “Chester also known as chest a hurt in the morning.”

50 Cent’s ‘BMF’ Trailer Showcases The Fast Life With Snoop Dogg, Wood Harris, And More

by

Historical crime dramas are very in right now, what with FX’s Los Angeles-set Snowfall being renewed for a fifth season this spring and 50 Cent’s latest Power spin-off, Raising Kanan, currently airing on Starz, and a New Jack City reboot reportedly in the works.

It seems that audiences are, well, hooked on tales of drug kingpins rising to power — and falling off at their peaks — especially if those stories are at least loosely based on reality. With 50 Cent’s next Starz show, though, the line between fiction and history will blur more than ever as BMF explores the rise and fall of Detroit’s Black Mafia Family with some help from Eminem, Snoop Dogg, and Wood Harris, who apparently will play an iconic drug dealer at every chance he gets.

Today, Starz released the trailer for the 50 Cent-produced drama series, which premieres on Sunday, September 26. It’s full of crack-era clothing, booming ghetto blasters playing Run-DMC’s “King Of Rock,” intense staredowns, and tersely-framed shootouts. Title cards tout the BMF‘s influence on hip-hop fashion, music, and culture (just check out Rick Ross’ “BMF,” in which he shouts out kingpin “Big Meech” while subtly nodding to the gang with the title’s acronym). Earlier this week, it was revealed that Eminem would have a role in BMF as well, portraying real-life FBI informant White Boy Rick — a role the real Rick approved of.

Hear Kanye West, Dr. Dre, And Snoop Dogg’s New Song ‘Glory’ In An Ad With Sha’Carri Richardson

by

Kanye West may be notorious for failing to drop albums when he promises, but this time around may be different. Fans are waiting to hear the rapper’s latest album Donda, named after his late mother, which he is hosting a listening party for tonight on Apple Music. Though fans will still have to wait a few more hours the LP, a new Beats commercial offers a snippet of new music to hold his listeners over.

Beats debuted a lively ad for their earbuds starring track and field sprinter Sha’Carri Richardson. The commercial features a one-minute preview of Kanye’s new track “Glory,” which was produced by Dr. Dre and features Snoop Dogg. Press material state the song will not appear on Kanye’s Donda album, but it does give fans an idea of the style of music the rapper has been working on lately. As of now, “Glory” has yet to receive an official release date but does drum up anticipation for his Donda LP.

This isn’t the first time Kanye has shared a new song for a Beats commercial. Back in July, Richardson starred in another ad for Beats’ earbuds that featured Kanye’s unreleased song “No Child Left Behind.”

A few weeks ago Snoop Dogg asked fans and friends to send prayers to his mother, Beverly Tate, without sharing many other details. Now, he’s given the public an update on what’s going on with the beloved matriarch. “Happy Sunday me and my brothers went to c mama today and she opened up her eyes to c us and let us know she still fighting,” the rapper posted in an Instagram caption yesterday. “God is good💕🙏🏾 thanks for all the prayers 1 day at a time.”

The photo he posted along with the brief update showed Beverly in a hospital bed, and it looks like she might be intubated. Snoop hasn’t shared details on what she’s fighting or if her health issues are related to COVID-19, but his community is definitely showing their support in the comment sections. Fellow artists like Lizzo, Jamie Foxx, Queen Latifah and Busta Rhymes all chimed in on the post, letting Snoop know that his mom is in their thoughts.

Tate has been struggling since May, when Snoop made a post asking for “all my prayer warriors for momma right now please and thank you,” and shared several photos of her from better times on his grid. Sending all good thoughts and hope for healing to Beverly as she continues to fight.

Dr. Dre‘s son Curtis Young has reportedly landed a role in the new film Charge It To The Game. He’ll apparently also be composing original music for the film.

According to TMZ, who spoke to Young, Charge It To The Game is a coming-of-age story about four best friends with Young playing “Kong,” one of the friend’s older brothers. And, making it a veritable who’s-who of famous rappers’ offspring, Snoop Dogg‘s son Julian Broadus is also in the movie, playing Kong’s younger brother, and Swiss Beatz‘s son is reportedly making his acting debut as one of the four friends (plus scoring the film with Young).

“This is my first movie and I wanted to get into acting… I always loved the art,” Young told TMZ. “It’s just an art form I’ve always loved. I’m playing a role, Kong, which is a gentleman named Hardtime — it’s Julian Broadus, which is Snoop’s son — I’m playing his older brother. So, I’ve been reading the script, just preparing, getting motivated, behind it and getting engaged with it.”

Talking about scoring the film, Young said, “I was asked and I’m honored to score the film and I believe they just yesterday announced that note. Swizz Beatz’s son is gonna be scoring it with me, so I’m just honored to have this opportunity.”

Young also offered an update on Dre’s health since his father suffered a brain aneurysm earlier this year. “My pops is healing,” he said. “He appreciates me for what I’m doing and doing on my own… It’s been a while since I had an opportunity like this to really step out of that shadow, but at the same time show respect and understand that people came before me.”
