Snoop Dogg was back in business this weekend alongside Wiz Khalifa and Xzibit as the trio were busy shooting a music video in West Hollywood together for a mysterious new song. As you well know, the music business has taken a toll just like every industry since the pandemic kicked off, and while many artists have still managed to put out a ton of great music since then, more public, crowded ventures such as video shoots or live music performances have taken a back seat to COVID-19. However, it looks like Snoop is one of the first to hit the block again for a major shoot, as production all across the entertainment industry slowly returns with precautions in place.

Snoop, Wiz, and X were filming their new visuals at Mel’s Drive-In Diner on Sunset Strip in West Hollywood, with classic vintage cars lining the parking lots to give the set an old-school feel. A few miles down the road, John Legend was also spotted shooting a video of his own, perhaps for a track off his upcoming album, Bigger Love, dropping Friday (June 19th). It is not yet known what song Snoop and gang were shooting for, but we’re keeping our fingers crossed for a new collab from the three rappers. Check out the photos from the shoot here.

Gunna and Lil Keed were supposedly targeted in a shooting, ending their music video shoot as the two rappers ran for safety in Atlanta. Gunna has since responded, calling the incident cap. However, it was all captured on video. So, how could it be cap?

Well, Young Thug has seemingly confirmed that the crew was not under attack, claiming responsibility for the shooting in a new video.

“Anytime you see like shoot-outs and shootings or anything and we involved in it, no, we the ones that did it,” says Thug in a clip uploaded to social media.

Considering his close ties to Gunna and Lil Keed, who are both artists signed to his YSL Records label, it’s unlikely that he would fire shots at his own slimes. Thus, this leads us to believe that the gunfire was either planned or this is just a cover-up to make the team seem less vulnerable than they actually are.

What do you believe actually happened? Is Young Thug only taking responsibility to distract attention away from Gunna and Lil Keed or is there something larger at play?

Perhaps the truth will be revealed when the video is actually released. I guess we’ll all need to stay tuned.

We all know that before Drake was Drake, he was a little Canadian boy named Aubrey Graham who grew up in the Forest Hill neighbourhood of Toronto. Drake reps the 6 proudly and has never claimed to hail from elsewhere, but it looks like the 6God recently headed down to the BK to shoot his latest music video.

Drake was spotted filming some visuals in the Marcy Projects this week, a public housing complex in Brooklyn, New York, that one of hip-hop’s biggest legends used to call home. Jay-Z famously grew up in that exact neighbourhood, before he got his big break and became the billionaire we know today.

It appears that the music video Drake was seen shooting will be for a song he has yet to release. A snippet of the song can be heard in a brief clip of Drake leaning against a fence in front of the Marcy houses, wearing a blue Yankees bomber jacket and rapping silently into the camera. In the comments, users noted how obvious it is that Drake did not grow up in the hood, due to how uncomfortable he appears to be filming in that area.

Though there’s no certainty that this song in particular will be a part of the project, it has been heavily speculated that Drake and Future are in the midst of concocting a sequel to their infamous What A Time To Be Alive collaborative album. A month ago, the duo dropped the highly anticipated track, “Life Is Good”, and then leaked “Desires” last weekend. Whatever Drizzy is cooking up in these clips, we hope it has something to do with WATTBA2.
