Snoop Speaks Detox, and The Game



Snoop Dogg rolled through Big Boy’s morning show “Big Boy’s Neighborhood” on Los Angeles’ Power 106 this week to talk about the picture of himself, The Game, and Dr. Dre that surfaced on Twitter late last week.

“We actually working on Detox right now,” said Snoop. “Me and Dr. Dre and D.O.C. and Stat Quo we in there doing it everyday trying to go hard in the yard. I called Game up so he could come be a part of this one particular record Dre had that was needing his vocals and his assistance on.”

The Game, who posted the picture to his Twitter account along with the message: “CAN U SAY “DETOX” ??? IN THE STUDIO WIT DRE & SNOOP. WE BOUT 2 MAKE A LOT OF PEOPLE MAD. RIDE WIT US OR GET RAN OVER! AFTERMATH OR DIE!”, had the internet buzzing not only because people were excited to see that this album might actually still be happening, but because it was the first time Dre (who’s usually pretty camera shy) was pictured with Game in a long while. The two previously had some beef and weren’t speaking with one another for a while.

Snoop admits that he’s responsible for reuniting the pair not only in the flesh but also on a new track slated for Detox. “They needed me to get in contact with Game,” said Snoop, “I had the number in my phone and I shot that that way and they called him and once he got there him and Dre hollered and they got a great relationship.”

According to Snoop, he’s been in the studio with Dre for the last two weeks working on Detox and hinted at the importance of what many believe this album will mean for West Coast music. “It’s always about what we can do, not what we did,” he said. “We trying to do some things to bring this whole movement back. So that’s what that picture was about. It was about symbolizing the West Coast movement… Dre don’t even let people take pictures of him. Guess who wanted to take the picture? I was upstairs. [Dre] was like man come down here let’s take a picture.”

Detox has been in the making for close to 10 years and there has yet to be an official release date for it, but this reunion appears to be a good sign for progress on the album. -Brooklyne Gipson

Jeezy Diss'n OJ da Juiceman & Guccimane


Looks like the summer is gonna be HOT when it comes to the beef...

"Fuck some Juice...Man!"


XXLMAG Update!

Last night (June 15) Young Jeezy leaked a song targeting fellow Atlanta
rappers Gucci Mane and OJ Da Juiceman.

On the track, titled “24-23,”
Jeezy first takes aim at his longtime rival Gucci. “I’m on my Louie shit today/
fuck some Gucci, mane,” he spit. “These niggas still on my dick/ they like some
groupies, mane/Can’t keep they lips closed/ they worse than coochies, mane/ And
that fruity looking stupid/ like some Coogi, mane/ Let you trick me off these
streets/ you must be stupid, mane/ Tell him this ain’t what he want/ not the boy
Snow/ But between me and you/ I think the boy slow.”

He then takes aim
at Gucci’s friend OJ. “Straight shots to the head, fuck some juice, man,” he
added. “Next to real n—-s in the city who got the juice, mane. these n—-s
talking bout the work but what they prove, mane. Y’all know these n—-s really
clowns but I’m the truth, mane. And this is what you goin’ for then what’s the
use, mane. Tell him this ain’t what he want, not the boy Snow. But between me
and you, I think them boys slow.”

When XXLMag.com reached out to both OJ
and Gucci’s management for comment, the current XXL cover stars said: “We not
feeding in to that. We getting money.”

The Snowman has a controversial
history with Gucci. Back in 2005 Jeezy put out several diss songs against the
rapper, claiming he was not paid sufficiently for his appearance on Gucci’s hit
single, “So Icey.” Gucci alleged that Jeezy went as far as putting a hit out on
him, which many believe lead to Mane killing a man – rumored to be a Jeezy
associate - in self-defense. Since ’05 there have been no other incidents
between the two rappers.

Ironically all three MCs are set to play two
shows together this weekend, 102 Jamz’s SuperJam In North Carolina and Hot 107’s
Birthday Bash in A-town. – Elan Mancini

Clipse hook up with Rick Ruben!


Virginia Beach duo Clipse are currently in the studio with iconic producer Rick Rubin, reports Entertainment Weekly.

Rubin, who signed the group to Columbia Records when he was named co-chairman in 2007, has already finished one track with Malice and Pusha T, and has plans on recording several more for their upcoming album, Til The Casket Drops.

The multi-Grammy-award winning producer has a famed history in the hip-hop industry. Along with Russell Simmons, he is responsible for co-founding Def Jam Recordings, where he crafted hits for Run-D.M.C., LL Cool J, and the Beastie Boys. While his last hit in the hip-hop world was Jay-Z’s “99 Problems” off of 2003’s The Black Album, Rubin has been behind some of the most critically acclaimed CDs in the metal, rock and country genres over the last decade.

Clipse’s third studio album, Til The Casket Drops, is reportedly set to drop in the summer. The disc’s first single “Kinda Like A Big Deal” featuring Kanye West and produced by DJ Khalil will be released on March 9. – Elan Mancini
