According to Dr. Dre, he had his doubts about performing at Super Bowl LVI, but Jay-Z and Nas convinced him otherwise.

Dr. Dre says that Jay-Z and Nas talked him out of canceling his performance at Super Bowl LVI after he expressed misgivings about doing so. Dre, along with Snoop Dogg, Eminem, Kendrick Lamar, 50 Cent, Mary J. Blige, and Anderson, ended up performing at the game. Paak.

In a recent interview on Dolvett Quince’s Workout the Doubt podcast, Dre revealed that he was worried about being labeled a “sellout” “by collaborating with the National Football League. The NFL has taken a beating for its handling of the Colin Kaepernick controversy, among other controversies.

“I was absolutely concerned about that,” he admitted. “I actually called a couple of close friends and said, ‘Listen, I’m gonna pull out. I’m not gonna do the show. Because I don’t know if I want that smoke. I don’t know if I want the backlash after doing the show and potentially looking like a fucking sellout or something like that.’”

He elaborated, saying, “I got on the phone with Nas. He called me up and was like, ‘Yo bro’ — you know, Nas has that voice — ‘Yo bro, you gotta do it. You gotta do this. It’s gonna be so powerful for fucking Hip Hop, for the culture, for you, for L.A. and the whole nine.’”

It took us maybe ten minutes on the phone, but he finally convinced me “The explanation came from Dre. “I wanted to do the program because of Nas and Jay-Z.

ISTHATPORKS TAKE:

We get how Dre felt. He didn't want to give life to an organization that was in fact giving life to Donald Trump in the Colin Kaepernick situation. Trump injected his BIG MOUTH and nose into a situation he accused Barack Obama of doing years before. So, we get it. If it was us, we wouldn't have done it unless there were concessions that involved Mr. Kaepernick and possibly a STFU forever clause for Donald Trump as it relates to football and other sporting matters. We like the consciousness of Dre though for understanding the moment. Besides, Eminem did the kneel, and we all know what that represented. NO PORK IN THAT!

T.I. and Tiny’s son, King Harris, was detained on August 31. This prompted the 18-year-old to post a series of videos in which he responded to allegations that he was trying to pass himself off as a gangster.

The videos sparked an immediate outcry, with many people demanding that Tip do a better job of parenting his son so that he wouldn’t have to squander his future for internet fame.

As was previously reported, it was unclear what led to the arrest of the teen.

The Atlanta rap star eventually responded with an Instagram post, warning his critics that their admonitions were ignored.

“Got a small request,” T.I. said. “Stop hitting me and getting in my comments, telling me what to tell King, okay? I know my son. Think I ain’t spoke to my son? Think I ain’t told my son, his mama, and his grandmama?” he began. 

“His a– going to prison if he godd— keeps up. His a– going to prison. Ain’t no way around it. Ain’t nothing I’m going to be able to do it about it. Can’t nobody stop it but him. I’ve already had the conversation, I’ve already made my peace with it. ‘Cause I know that energy — I was that energy. I know exactly how it’s gonna turn out.”

Next, he said, “King’s a good kid. He’s chasing after the wrong s— and I trust in God to deal with it the way he see fit… Now, he going have to go through it and get through it… Life is gonna teach him all the lessons he need to know.” King had previously addressed the arrest in a video, saying that he had not sought out police intervention. The young man, then 18, began attacking those who had called him out, and he questioned why the blogs that had reported on his arrest had ignored his most recent music release as Kid Saiyan. Another viral video included a young woman proudly displaying her seatbelt violations while King can be heard stating, “got four.”

Meek Mill’s exit from Roc Nation has been addressed for the first time by Jay-Z. Hov appeared on DJ Khaled’s GOD DID and contributed a verse to the song of the same name. Jay-Z has more than four minutes to say his views on the eight-minute track, which also features Lil Wayne, Rick Ross, and John Legend. He starts off by mentioning that he thinks LeBron James should join the ranks of Hip-few Hop’s millionaires.

“Hov did, please, Lord forgive me for what the stove did/ Nobody touched the billi’ until Hov did,” Jay-Z confidently rhymes. “How many billionaires can come from Hov crib? Huh/I count three, me, Ye and Rih/Bron’s a Roc boy, so four, technically.”

“Me and Meek could never beef. I freed that ni**a from a whole bid, Hov did,” the rapper boasts during his 4-minute verse.

Timed to coincide with Meek Mill’s exit from Roc Nation after a decade together is this new verse. Taking to social media on July 11 to set the record straight, Meek stated that his exit was amicable.

“All I seen today was meek and roc part ways. I’m personally handling my own business, so I can take risk and grow,” Mill clarified in his first of a series of tweets. “We came to that agreement together. I have a label deal with Roc for my artist, and I got reform super tied with them and many other investments wit Jigga.”

Drake’s new style is entertaining social media.

The artist’s new hairstyle on Instagram caused a stir.

People see through the jokes to the truth Drake has been proclaiming about himself for years: he won’t change who he is or try to be anyone else.

Paraphrasing a fan “I’ll never forget that Aubrey Graham is an actor whose biggest part to far has been Drake, as @KevCole6 put it on Twitter. With this, his musical legacy is secure. When the dust settles, he will undoubtedly go down as one of the most iconic figures in hip-hop history”. The man behind the music, however, is, hmm, unconventional.
