Posted on by EDITORIAL FEATURES

Druski’s comedic genius continues to grow as he inches closer and closer to his reality show spoof. The Maryland native has become one of the funniest and well-recognized comedians on the internet and it has landed him tons of opportunities. One of those includes the ability to release Coulda Been House. According to Billboard, the show is a hybrid of American Idol and Meeting the Band. To promote it, Druski is tapping Snoop Dogg and DJ Drama for a hilarious theme song called “Standin On Bihness.”

The premise of the comedy series is to take all of the contestants that tried to in a deal with Coulda Been Records and put them in a house to compete. The winner walks away with a grand prize of $50,000 and a deal with Druski’s label. However, the brand is not a real music company and it is a bit that the 29-year-old sort of became known for. According to HipHopDX, Druski spoke about the show on Skip Bayless’ Undisputed.

“We giving out opportunities, brotha, but we ain’t just giving it — you got to earn it.” The song title is also poking fun at the recent trend of saying “standing on business,” even though people rarely ever stand by it. It in part became popular after T.I.‘s song King Harris had his viral outburst at the Falcons game. Harris wanted some credit from Druski for using it as the song title, but that does not look like that will happen. You can check out the hilarious track produced by BNYX above, as well as the trailer for the series.

Snoop Dogg Enraged Donald Trump With Clemency Requests

On Monday (Feb. 19), Rolling Stone reported that Trump regularly bad-mouthed Snoop to his staffers during his last few days as president. The Death Row Records leader was secretly negotiating with Trump to grant clemency to the label’s co-founder Michael “Harry-O” Harris, but a Trump staffer reportedly put together a dossier for the former president of all the times The DoggFather had spoken poorly about him.

“Well, f**k him,” Trump allegedly said to a staffer after viewing the compilation.

Trump’s anger and feeling of betrayal towards Snoop continued until the day of Biden’s inauguration on Jan. 20, 2021. Former staffers told RS that they tried to persuade Trump that Snoop wasn’t mad at him anymore. Apparently, the effort worked, and mere moments before presidential power was transferred to Biden, Trump granted Harry-O clemency.

Tha Dogg Pound – “DPG 4 Life” (Album Review)

Posted on by Clodagh Leon

Tha Dogg Pound is a renown hip hop duo consisting of Long Beach emcee/producer Daz Dillinger & Philadelphia emcee Kurupt. I really shouldn’t have to say much about their 1995 full-length debut Dogg Food since it’s widely recognized as one of the last great albums that Death Row Records ever put out. They’ve gone on to release some music here & there since but just 11 years after their last album 100 Wayz, they’re reuniting for their 8th full-length album.

“Ghetto” kicks things off with a chilled out depiction of having bills to pay & them doing fine whereas “We Rollin’” goes into a funkier direction with them stuntin’. “Dissolution of Marriage” is a calmer tune talking about just that, but then “Used 2” follows it up going into a more depressive tone.

Meanwhile on “Bottom Bitch”, we get a classy theme for all the pimps out there right before Snoop Dogg comes into the picture for spacey sex anthem “Nice & Slow”. The highnamic trio stick around for the g-funk thug anthem “Skip Skip” prior to going back to the romance tip on the atmospheric “Baby I Want U Bac”.

“It Ain’t Nuthin’” is an auto-tune trap ballad talking about smoking in an old school Chevy while “I’m On It” with Soopafly works in some snares & squeaking synths to talk about being hustlas. The song “Let’s Roll” serves as a melodic cut talking about partying with their ladies while the penultimate track “Hood Girl” brings in some keys to talk about their taste in women. Then they put the feel-good West Coast tribute “LA Here’s to U” off of Kurupt’s 2013 sophomore mixtape Money, Bitches, Power for the closer.

We’ve had to wait a little over decade for Dillinger & Young Gotti to reunite in a full-length capacity. The end results are a bit of mixed bag for me personally. I think the lovey dovey shit sounds forced even though “Let’s Play House” is one of my favorites all-time favorite DPG songs but when they’re on their g shit, it sounds more natural.

Score: 5/10

Tupac Shakur Estate Rebukes Drake For “Blatant Abuse” Of Pac’s Legacy In AI Diss Lawsuit Threat

Posted on by EDITORIAL FEATURES

Tupac Shakur’s estate issued a cease-and-desist letter to Drake. The estate threatened to sue Drake if he did not take down his Kendrick Lamar diss track “Taylor Made Freestyle,” which featured AI-generated Tupac vocals.

“The Estate is deeply dismayed and disappointed by your unauthorized use of Tupac’s voice and personality,” the estate’s attorney Howard King wrote, per Billboard. “Not only is the record a flagrant violation of Tupac’s publicity and the estate’s legal rights, it is also a blatant abuse of the legacy of one of the greatest Hip-Hop artists of all time. The Estate would never have given its approval for this use.”

Last week, Drake released his “Taylor Made Freestyle.” Drake used the AI-generated voices of Tupac and Snoop Dogg to taunt Kendrick on the song. Tupac’s estate criticized Drake for dragging the late rapper into the Canadian star’s feud with Kendrick.

“The unauthorized, equally dismaying use of Tupac’s voice against Kendrick Lamar, a good friend to the Estate who has given nothing but respect to Tupac and his legacy publicly and privately, compounds the insult,” King wrote.

Tupac’s estate accused Drake of violating the Hip-Hop legend’s publicity rights. The estate demanded a “detailed explanation for how the sound-alike was created” along with the diss track’s removal.

“If you comply, the estate will consider whether an informal negotiation to resolve this matter makes sense,” King told Drake. “If you do not comply, our client has authorized this firm to pursue all of its legal remedies including, but not limited to, an action for violation of … the estate’s copyright, publicity and personality rights and the resulting damages, injunctive relief and punitive damages and attorneys’ fees.”

Drake and Kendrick’s long-brewing beef finally erupted in March. Kendrick dissed Drake on Future and Metro Boomin’s song “Like That.” Drake responded with the diss track “Push Ups” in April. He followed it up with the “Taylor Made Freestyle.”

Tupac Shakur’s Estate Threatens to Sue Drake Over ‘Taylor Made’

Posted on by EDITORIAL FEATURES

Tupac Shakur‘s estate has reportedly sent Drake a cease-and-desist letter after Drizzy used A.I. vocals of ’Pac on his song “Taylor Made Freestyle.”

Tupac Shakur’s Estate Threatens to Sue Drake

On Wednesday (April 24), Billboard reported that ’Pac’s family had filed a cease-and-desist letter aimed at Drizzy over his use of the late rapper’s voice on his Kendrick Lamar diss track “Taylor Made Freestyle.” The estate called the A.I.-generated vocals “a flagrant violation” of the law and a “blatant abuse” of his legacy. The estate’s litigator Howard King informed the 6 God he must get rid of his song in less than 24 hours or face legal consequences.

“The Estate is deeply dismayed and disappointed by your unauthorized use of Tupac’s voice and personality,” King wrote. “Not only is the record a flagrant violation of Tupac’s publicity and the estate’s legal rights, it is also a blatant abuse of the legacy of one of the greatest hip-hop artists of all time. The Estate would never have given its approval for this use.”

Drake shared his latest Kendrick Lamar diss track on Instagram last week, but never officially released the song.

“Kendrick, we need ya, the West Coast savior,” the A.I. Tupac voice is heard in the opening bars. “Engraving your name in some hip-hop history, if you deal with this viciously/You seem a little nervous about all the publicity/F**k this Canadian lightskin, Dot.”

As of press time, the song is still up on Drake’s IG page. XXL has reached out to Drake’s reps and the Tupac Shakur estate for further comment.

Snoop Dogg Unfazed by Drake Using A.I.

Snoop Dogg‘s likeness was also used in “Taylor Made Freestyle,” but judging by his reaction on social media last Saturday (April 20), he isn’t as pressed as ’Pac’s estate.

“They did what? When? How? Are you sure? [Sigh] Y’all have a good night,” the rap veteran said on Instagram. “Why everybody calling my phone, blowing me up? What the f**k— what happened? What’s going on? I’m going back to bed. Good night.”

Kendrick Lamar has yet to respond to Drake’s diss tracks, which include “Taylor Made” and “Push Ups.”

Chance The Rapper Reveals His Next Project, “Star Line,” & Hints At Its Possible Guests

Posted on by EDITORIAL FEATURES

Chicago, Illinois rapper and singer Chance the Rapper built himself up to be one of the most beloved faces in hip-hop. His standout projects like Acid Rap and Coloring Book were some of the most expressive and colorful bodies of work of the 2010s. However, in 2019, the multi-hyphenate split many with his album The Big Day. It seems that all of the negative backlash has pushed him to go back to the drawing board and find new inspiration. Well, we might be close to getting a new Chance the Rapper project, as he just revealed the title, which is Star Line.

According to HipHopDX, he made the announcements through two different posts on Instagram and X (formerly Twitter). On the former, Chance dropped a two-minute plus behind the scenes-like trailer that showed shots of him and the mixtape’s potential guests. Lil Wayne, DJ Premier, Lil Yachty, Vic Mensa, and more. Then, if you hop on over to IG, the 31-year-old superstar released a snippet of song which he titled “Buried Alive.”

In the caption, Chance asked, “Buried Alive” (2024) 📓🎥 should I drop a video?” In the preview, Chance is really rapping and flowing on it, and it seems his making a return to the sound that got him to where he is now. There were some hints that this project was in the works at one point last year. On July 5, he dropped another little taste of a track on Instagram and said that “Star Line Gallery *eventually” would be coming. With Star Line seemingly to be the new title, we are not sure if these are two separate projects, or just an update of the name.

What are your thoughts on Chance the Rapper teasing his new project Star Line? How much longer do you think fans will have to wait for it to drop? Do you think this will be a return to form for him after his last record The Big Day? How do you feel about the possible features that were hinted at in the trailer? We would like to hear what you have to say, so be sure to leave your takes in the comments section.

Suge Knight Bashes Drake for Using Tupac Shakur as an A.I. Pawn

Posted on by EDITORIAL FEATURES

Suge Knight is bashing Drake for using A.I.-generated voices of Tupac Shakur and Snoop Dogg to diss Kendrick Lamar. He’s also taking the moment to accuse Snoop of playing a role in Tupac’s downfall.

Suge Knight Is Not a Fan of Drake’s “Taylor Made Freestyle” Featuring A.I. Versions of Tupac Shakur and Snoop Dogg

On Monday (April 22), Breakbeat Media dropped a teaser clip for an upcoming episode of Suge Knight’s Collect Call podcast. Evidently, the currently incarcerated rap mogul is not a fan of Drake’s “Taylor Made Freestyle,” the most recent diss track aimed at Kendrick Lamar. Knight is taking umbrage with the fact that Drizzy used artificial intelligence to include verses in the likenesses of both Snoop Dogg and the late Tupac Shakur.

“Drake, hey, youngsta,” Suge Knight says in the video below. “Young people do what young people do, it’s y’all turn. But my little homie ’Pac, he wasn’t no joke then, and he damn sure ain’t no joke now. Putting him on a song with him dissing Kendrick for everybody entertainment, that ain’t how it go.”

Suge Knight is certainly qualified to speak on the nature of Tupac Shakur’s character. In the mid-1990s, Suge famously posted bond for ’Pac while he served a prison sentence for a sexual assault conviction. He subsequently signed Tupac to a deal with Death Row Records. The former Death Row CEO is also well-versed in rap beef as Suge played an integral role in the infamous East Coast vs. West Coast beef that involved Shakur, The Notorious B.I.G., Diddy and Snoop Dogg, among others.

On the subject of Snoop Dogg, Suge’s forthcoming episode of Collect Call finds him boldly accusing the current owner of Death Row Records of being part of Tupac’s untimely demise. In the audio clip, he explains that, in his opinion, Drake’s use of Snoop’s voice on the Kendrick Lamar diss track is disrespectful to ’Pac’s legacy.

“As far as putting him [Tupac] on a song with Snoop, who was part of his downfall, his exit, that ain’t never a good look,” Suge Knight says. “’Pac was a king on that chessboard. He never was a pawn, so he can’t be made to be a pawn now.”

Suge Knight Thinks Los Angeles Gangs Could Unite Against Drake for Dissing Kendrick Lamar

Knight closes his one-way conversation with Drake by making note of Los Angeles gang culture. The implication is that because Kendrick Lamar hails from Compton, Drizzy may be subject to backlash from the West Coast streets.

“West Coast, it’s a whole state of real gang members of all colors, all races” Suge explains ominously. “You don’t want them to come together. Especially when mothaf**kas sleeping in the lion’s den. Don’t wake those lions up.”

Suge Knight Claims Victory for Kendrick Lamar

Suge Knight is very much interested in the lyrical warfare Kendrick Lamar has been involved with recently. Aside from his dramatic take on Drake’s “Taylor Made Freestyle,” Suge declared a victory for K-Dot over J. Cole. After Cole publicly retracted his response to Kendrick Lamar’s verse on Future and Metro Boomin’s “Like That” on “7 Minute Drill,” earlier this month, Knight viewed the moment as a sign of weakness.

2Pac’s Brother Takes Issue With Drake Using A.I. Version Of Legend’s Voice For Rap Beef

Posted on by EDITORIAL FEATURES

Drake shocked the Hip-Hop world by utilizing artificial intelligence-generated 2Pac and Snoop Dogg verses to swing at his current rival, Kendrick Lamar. A relative of Tupac Shakur has addressed Drizzy’s polarizing “Taylor Made Freestyle” track.

According to TMZ, Mopreme Shakur had a problem with Drake using his brother’s voice in a rap battle. The outlet reports that Mopreme called the A.I.-created song a “nuclear option” and thinks the battle should be “1-on-1.”

Mopreme Shakur also apparently expressed worry that younger music fans may believe the “A.I. 2Pac” on “Taylor Made Freestyle” is real. However, the Outlawz member supposedly supports both Drake and Kendrick Lamar. 

Drake dropped “Taylor Made Freestyle” as the second response to Kendrick Lamar calling him out on “Like That” by Future and Metro Boomin. The Toronto representative also officially released the “Push Ups” diss track on April 19.

“Taylor Made Freestyle” led to mixed reactions from Hip-Hop artists, fans and media figures. Knowing Kendrick Lamar idolized 2Pac and Snoop Dogg, some listeners praised Drake’s creativity and pettiness.

In contrast, some people complained about one of the most successful rappers on the planet embracing artificial intelligence to make music. Critics expressed concerns that the move could be a slippery slope to watering down human-made artistry.
