Snoop Dogg Breaks Down How Suge Knight Use To Rob Producers "Tell That N*gga U Produced The Beat Give Him $500 & Tell Him To Kick Rocks" Offers Advice To New Producers [Video]
After being in the rap game nearly 20 years, Snoop Dogg has just about seen and done it all. From working with veteran producers like Dr Dre, to helping new beat makers like Scoop DeVille make a name for themselves.
In this interview with Taj Mahal, Snoop breaks down the proper etiquette when dealing with a star like himself if you're a new producer.
"I always give n*ggas a chance ... n*ggas that aint got no name. I love giving them a chance by rapping on they beats," Snoop said. "I'm just saying when I do that, don't rob me, rob the next n*gga. Cuz I'm the n**** you tell people, "yeah Snoop gave me $20,000 for the beat.' Nah I aint gave you s***, but you tell a n*gga I gave you $20,000, that's how you leverage the game."
Snoop also recalled how he brought Soopafly into the game with a song that was featured on the 'Murder Was The Case' soundtrack. It was at a time when Death Row Records was at it's peak and Suge Knight was maybe the most feared man in the music industry.
"This n*gga Slip Capone and CPO, Soopafly did a beat for them and they didn't like the beat - ended up being the song on the Murder Was The Case soundtrack, '9 in the morning feds at my door', Who Got Some Gangsta Sh*t," Snoop explained. "I took the beat, gave him 5G's, he had never made a beat for nobody, and I gave him his publishing. And I gave him his credit, I could have said produced by Snoop Dogg. I was on Death Row back then, that's what Suge Knight told me to tell him. He said, "Tell that n*gga you produced the beat, give him $500 and tell him to kick rocks. I said, 'nah I like the lil n*gga I think he might be good with our crew and look where he at."
Prince Speaks for Kardashian-Weary Nation: 'Get Off the Stage!
Last night at Madison Square Garden, Prince did what so many of us want to do, but simply cannot do: make Kim Kardashian go away. At the end of each of the singer's Welcome 2 America concerts in New York, he's invited VIPs onstage to dance -- and in Cyndi Lauper's case, belt a few notes. Yesterday one of his stellar backup singers took Kim by the hand and led her onstage, saying, "Look who I got." Prince busted a move; Kim stood and laughed. So he dismissed her with a neck-snapping, "Get off the stage!" as the crowd roared. "Welcome 2 America," he added, scanning the audience for another girl who "can get busy."
Stars who have successfully boogied with Prince at MSG include Sherri Sheppard, Naomi Campbell, Alicia Keys, Whoopi Goldberg, Jamie Foxx, Tavis Smiley, Cornel West, and Spike Lee. Yes, Sherri Sheppard, the same woman who horrified Prince on national TV by proclaiming on "The View," "I have wanted to make love to you for my whole life." He's even serenaded Leighton Meester with "I Love You But I Don't Trust You Anymore."
Kim's defense, mounted on Twitter (of course): "I was so nervous I froze when Prince touched me!" She added that the Purple One gave her another chance, and she did, indeed, get funky. "This time I redeemed myself! We all danced while Prince played the piano! Wow! What a night!"
In truth, she should feel honored -- because of Prince's staunch anti-Internet stance, no fresh footage of him has managed to hit the web in years. In 2007, the singer even got into a fight with his fans when he pulled down images of everything from Prince-inspired tattoos to photos of his album covers -- and when his devotees got angry, he wrote a diss track called "PFUnk" that includes the line, "I love all y'all, don't you ever mess with me no more." Thanks to the Kardashian smackdown, we got another glimpse of our favorite funkateer in action!
Michael Jackson Doctor Conrad Murray's Trial To Be Televised [Judge rules that camera will be allowed in the courtroom for manslaughter case]
MTV reports:
For what promises to be one of the most bizarre and riveting legal proceedings in years, a Los Angeles judge ruled on Monday that a television camera will be allowed in the courtroom when Michael Jackson's doctor goes on trial for involuntary manslaughter.
Reuters reported that Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Michael Pastor, approved the presence of a camera in the trial of Dr. Conrad Murray as long as it does not interfere with the proceedings in the closely watched case.
The judge asked for the "absolute least-intrusive placement" of a TV camera in the courtroom, but blocked cameras from documenting jury selection.
Pastor also announced that he would bump up the opening date of the trail by four days to March 24, at which point jury selection will begin. Murray, who faces up to four years in prison if convicted, has pleaded not guilty to the charges, and the trial is expected to last around six weeks.
Cardiologist Murray was hired to be Jackson's personal physician in the run-up to the King of Pop's planned 50-date comeback series of shows at London's O2 arena in the summer of 2009. The doctor told police that he provided Jackson, 50, with sedatives and the surgical anesthetic propofol in order to combat the singer's chronic insomnia. He said he did so on the morning of June 25, 2009, when Jackson died of what a coroner deemed acute propofol poisoning.
TMZ reported on Tuesday (February 8) that Murray's lawyers plan to argue that Jackson was already in weak health before he died and that it's unfair to blame propofol for his passing. Unnamed sources close to the case told the gossip site that at the time of his death, Jackson's body was already failing him in part because concert promoter AEG Live had "driven [him] over the edge" with a rigorous rehearsal schedule for the shows.
Murray's lawyers reportedly plan to call witnesses to say that Jackson was not showing up for rehearsals and when he did he showed "clear signs" of frail health. They also reportedly plan to argue that it was Jackson who administered the final, fatal dose of propofol to himself while Murray was out of the room.
