Dr. Dre To Drop New Music In December As Part Of “Aftermath Takeover”

by

Right at the end of September, it was announced that Dr. Dre, Eminem, Snoop Dogg, Kendrick Lamar and Mary J. Blige had been tapped for the Super Bowl LVI Halftime Show, stirring Aftermath Records fans into a frenzy.

Just weeks later, Snoop Dogg announced that his new album, Algorithm, is dropping November 12, giving Aftermath fans even more reason to celebrate. And amidst speculation that both Eminem and Lamar are on the verge of dropping their own, long-awaited albums, we have confirmation that we are in the middle of a legitimate Aftermath Takeover.

In an Instagram post from DJ Battlecat, the L.A. disc jockey revealed that every Aftermath announcement is part of a master plan.

With the official announcement of Snoop’s album, and a handful of new Kendrick songs leaking onto the internet, both rappers are expected to drop sooner rather than later. Battlecat didn’t reveal whether or not Em would be returning in 2021, but did reveal that Aftermath founder Dr. Dre would be dropping in December. 

What exactly he’ll be releasing is unclear, but according to Grandmaster Flash, Dre’s follow up to 2015’s Compton is “game-changing.” 

If Battlecat’s schedule is legitimate and we end up with new records from Snoop, Kendrick and Dre before the year is said and done, that February 13 Super Bowl Halftime show is going to be insane. With the Aftermath lineup choosing from both new and classic tracks, there’s no way rap fans can be disappointed. Especially knowing Mary J. Blige is going to shut down the SoFi Stadium stage no matter what.

If rap fans were excited by 2021’s New York resurgance, led by Jadakiss, Ja Rule and the rest of the early-2000s NYC heavyweights, it’s no question that they’ll be just as pumped up about L.A. standing up in a major way throughout the last quarter of the year. 

Do you think Dr. Dre is actually dropping this year? Let us know in the comments.

Ben Simmons Addresses Sixers Teammates, Reveals Playing Status

by

This week has been a very dramatic one for the Philadelphia 76ers. Their star player Ben Simmons was kicked out of practice by Doc Rivers, and recently, he said he was suffering from back pain all while also dealing with mental hangups. Fans weren’t too happy with this news as it appeared as though Simmons was purposely trying to avoid the team.

Things got worse yesterday afternoon when team President Daryl Morey claimed that Simmons won’t be traded anytime soon and that they want to find the best deal possible. In fact, Morey said Simmons could be with the Sixers for four more seasons if that’s what the franchise wants.

Now, Simmons is owning up to everything and has officially addressed his teammates. According to Shams Charania of The Athletic, Simmons spoke to the team today and said that there is plenty of blame to go around for this situation. He realizes that he needs to be held accountable for all of this, although, at this stage, he is still not mentally prepared to play and that he wants to wait for a while before getting back on the court. For now, there is no timetable for an official return.

The Simmons saga is one that Sixers fans just want to see come to an end, although for now, it doesn’t appear as though that’s going to happen. There is still a lot that needs to be figured out, and Simmons is planning on taking his time with all of it.
