Though Snoop Dogg was certainly no friend to former President Donald Trump, his philosophy ensures that when it comes to the memes, anybody can get it. Case in point, the Doggfather recently took to Instagram to poke fun at President Joe Biden, who recently made headlines after repeatedly stumbling during a climb up the stairs of Air Force One.

Though many wrote the moment off as simple clumsiness, others expressed concern with the President’s health and mobility, using it as further ammunition against his position in office. While it doesn’t appear that Snoop Dogg falls into such a category, it’s clear he does see the humor in Biden’s viral gaffe, offering the President a recommendation for a possible solution. 

“I got moms One of these for her stairs before and it was a smooth glide ya dig,” writes Snoop, alongside a doctored video of Biden ascending the extensive steps while seated on an assisted-stair climber. “Good shit joe.” At this point, it’s clear that there’s nothing the internet won’t cook up, and it’s evident that Snoop is content to watch the chaos unfold with a smile on his face. Perhaps it’s a soft rebuttal to the recent reports that Joe Biden’s team was moving to fire staffers with a history of marijuana use, a topic that Snoop holds close to heart. 

Check out Snoop Dogg’s reaction to the Biden meme below. 

NBA players have been getting the injury bug as of late and it has affected some of the best players in the entire league. The best example of this is LeBron James who recently injured his ankle, as well as LaMelo Ball who is now out for the season due to a wrist injury. Last night, James Harden also suffered an injury although it wasn’t as bad as the previous players mentioned.

During a win against the Washington Wizards, Harden was shouldered in the jaw, where he suffered a bit of whiplash and was forced to come out of the game. Eventually, Harden was able to come back into the match, and after the game, he spoke about what went down and what allowed him to get back.

“I got hit in the jaw. My neck kind of twitched. I’ll be all right. It’s nothing,” Harden said per The New York Post. “Get some treatment on it, get some rest and be ready to go the next game.”

The Nets are already without Kevin Durant right now so any more injuries to their big three could result in some lost positioning in the Eastern Conference standings. Regardless, Harden seems okay and that’s all that matters for the team right now.

During a recent interview, Jack Harlow named some of his biggest musical influences, giving flowers to Drake, Eminem, Jay-Z, Lil Wayne, and André 3000. Out of those names, the Kentucky native has only gotten the chance to work with one of those legendary artists, trading verses with Tunechi on the “WHATS POPPIN” remix. However, in the coming months, he’ll be crossing another one of those names from his list, revealing that he’s got a song with one of the other four artists.

“One other one’s coming right up. One other [name] I listed is coming right up,” said Jack on the Big Facts podcast with Big Bank and DJ Scream. After the hosts tried to widdle the list down, they theorized that Jack could be featured on Drake’s heavily-teased new Certified Lover Boy album. While the rapper and DJ Drama don’t confirm that he’s featured on the project, Jack said, “Just wait. Hold on.” DJ Drama added that their collaboration would “sound fire”. 

When they suggest a Harlow x Eminem song, Jack shrugs and Drama says that that would also “sound fire”.

Right now, it’s unclear which one of these legends Jack Harlow has a song with. But in the next few weeks, the rising star will be getting yet another monster co-sign from one of the all-time greats, which marks another major moment in his career.

Who do you think he’s been working with? Drake? Eminem? Jay-Z? Or André 3000?

Yung Bleu’s “You’re Mines Still” proved to be a breakout hit, unsurprising given that it was part of the so-called “Drake Stimulus Package,” to the point where the rapper openly admitted to securing the quickest bag of his career as a result. And with the song widening the scope of his mainstream reach, it also sparked a few remixes and freestyles — including one from fellow Canadian Tory Lanez, who previously offered his own take on the track in February.

Unfortunately for Lanez, Yung Bleu was extremely displeased with the remix, especially given some of the backstory. “Remixes cool but show love ! Y’all n*ggas weird!” he wrote, calling out Tory for a prior snub. “@torylanez I reached out to u on some let’s work sh*t. U never responded that’s cool ! Never gone get mad at that ! but u wanna remix my song and dnt even acknowledge a young n*gga tryna come up. U rap n*ggas be on some hoe sh*t.”

Recently, Bleu took a moment to chop it up with DJ Vlad, who made sure to inquire about the Tory Lanez situation. “I had hit him up a couple of times, and he never responded,” explained the young melodist. “I know a couple of people in radio who reached out on my behalf, and he never got back to them…Then I see he did a remix of my song and didn’t tag me. So I basically said something about it, cause I needed to start standing up for myself bro.”

“I don’t think he meant nothin’ by it, it just honestly slipped his mind,” explains Bleu. “But I don’t know.” When Vlad brings up how Bleu had Tory’s remix video taken down, the singer offers a bit of clarity on the situation. “I actually texted him to put it back up,” he says. “But they never put it back up. After I linked up with him and we did a song together, I told Empire to put it back up. I was cool with it coming back, it just never came back.”

Bleu reveals that the pair were able to talk it out, maintaining that it was never that serious to begin with. Vlad proceeds to inquire about Tory and Megan Thee Stallion’s ongoing situation, but Bleu isn’t willing to head down that particular rabbit hole. “I ain’t a judge, so I can’t even say my take,” he explains. “I had so many crazy drunk nights, I can’t even know what happened that night. I can’t really say.”

Blake Griffin finally got to make his Brooklyn Nets debut last night and based on the results, it was fairly successful. Griffin got to play 15 minutes and in the end, he notched two rebounds and another two points. The Nets ended up winning the game, which once again, put them steadily at the front of the Eastern Conference standings where they appear to be the team to beat.

Griffin’s two points came from a dunk which was the first time he had scored on a dunk in almost two years. With his knee problems, Griffin hasn’t been able to do those kinds of plays but in Brooklyn, he appears to be finding his old rhythm. After the game, he explained what his Nets debut meant to him.

“It felt great. I knew once it happened that it was going to be a thing so I tried not to look at the bench when I was coming back down but then I kinda peeked over and I saw DeAndre (Jordan) all the way out on the side and saw everybody standing up so it was hard not to smile in that situation. It felt good to just get that out of the way and move on,” Griffin said.

Griffin is now on a contender and there is a realistic chance he gets to go to his first NBA Finals. Hopefully, we will continue to see what he is capable of over the next few months.
