If you haven’t already heard, beauty is big business—an over $400 billion business, to be exact. So it’s not surprising that beauty conventions have become big events, occurring around the world and attracting not only beauty junkies, but celebs—some of whom you’d never expect.

The G Funk era of hip-hop was ushered in by three hip-hop giants, Snoop Dogg, Nate Dogg and Warren G. The genre represented everything west coast hip hop was and is, but focused more on having fun than gangbanging.

Despite Stephen A. Smith’s penchant for browbeating sportspeople of color, he is, in fact, still a black man, and he confirmed this during a spot on Snoop Dogg’s Double G News Network, in which he declared that he is an ass man.

On Friday, March 16, 2018, the good Lord saw fit to release music for the homies through his shepherd, Snoop Dogg. Pun intended. Because shepherd ... and dog. You get it? Right. Snoop Dogg, aka the artist formerly known as Snoop Doggy Dogg, aka Snoop Lion, aka Calvin Broadus of Doggystyle, Murder Was the Case and…

When I got a press email announcing that Snoop Dogg had a gospel project, a double album titled Bible of Love, on the horizon, I immediately took a screenshot of the message and forwarded it to a few friends and posed the same question: “When did that nigga get saved?”

There are a few albums in my life that have held pivotal roles: De La Soul’s De La Soul Is Dead, A Tribe Called Quest’s Midnight Marauders, N.W.A.’s EFIL4ZAGGIN and Outkast’s Aquemini, to name a few. Another of those pivotal albums, Dr. Dre’s The Chronic, was released on Dec. 15, 1992, exactly 25 years ago today.

I stopped watching broadcast news five years ago, after a sex crime was reported in close proximity to where I live. The local news was beginning to feel like trauma porn and was much too close to home.

Remember the pottery scene from Ghost, where Molly Jensen and Sam Wheat are provocatively making a bowl or something? Well, here’s a bit of imagery that you probably didn’t ask for: Martha Stewart and Snoop Dogg getting all close in order to ice a cake.

When will these white folks learn that being black adjacent doesn’t mean they can say any form of the n-word or even “Negro”?

In what can only be described as the most covfefe’s of all covfefe’s, Baby Boy 2 might actually be a thing. What’s that you say? You didn’t know Baby Boy 2 was even a possibility because why would anybody sequelize (surprisingly, “sequelize” is a real word, in the same vein that Pinnochio was a real boy) a move that…

Long Beach, Calif., rapper and entertainer Snoop Dogg will be on hand with other celebrities to help raise money for the Flint, Mich., water crisis during the second annual Hoop 4 Water celebrity basketball game next month.

It’s one thing to make a parody video about how clown-tastic the president is, the way Snoop Dogg did in “Lavender.” But it’s another for someone to go on television and suggest that Snoop Dogg should be killed. And that’s exactly what Fox News pundit Kimberly Guilfoyle did over the weekend.
