In 2009, Dr. Dre re-invested in the West Coast, as he signed the emerging Los Angeles rapper, Slim the Mobster. At the time, Slim was also signed to G-Unit Records. Before the end of 2010, G-Unit dropped Slim, but Dr. Dre kept him on Aftermath.

Two years later, Slim the Mobster is working on his first high-profile mixtape. For the release, Slim has recruited Kendrick Lamar, Prodigy, and Snoop Dogg. With War Music being his first official release, Slim the Mobster said he was very excited.

On War Music, Slim the Mobster said he had to keep the music hardcore. The mixtape contains such tracks as "Fuck You," along with many others. Everything has come together for Slim the Mobster, except for one thing.

Being signed to Aftermath means Slim the Mobster has had the chance to meet Eminem. However, Slim has yet to have the chance to record with him. Growing up, Slim the Mobster listened to Eminem and has always wanted to work with him.

This summer, Lil Wayne rapped "too much money ain't enough money," apparently he was not in Norway. Long before the world knew who Lil Wayne was, Snoop Dogg was one of the biggest rap stars on the planet. After twenty years in the game, Snoop Dogg is still one of the biggest international rap stars of all-time.

Snoop Dogg has also established himself as one of the more-credible businessmen in hip hop. There have been many people in the game to come and make money. Among those who have hit it big, only a few have managed to keep it. Not only has Snoop Dogg kept his money, he has found ways to multiply it.

Method Man to sever ties with Marijuana

By The Hip Hop Writer
Hip Hop Vibe Staff Writer

Rappers such as Method Man and Snoop Dogg helped to pave the way for the "weed rap" sub-genre of hip hop. Both artists have been able to cross over, while still remaining true to the weed. Meth, himself, starred in the How High movie with Redman, which is about marijuana.

Method Man has almost become synonymous with marijuana smoking. Despite this, he is looking to change his image. Not helping matters is Method Man being a part of the Smoker's Club tour with Curren$y and Big K.R.I.T. Method Man is leaving the weed alone, happy to pass the torch to Wiz Khalifa.

The reason Method Man is giving up marijuana is because of his children. During his interview with VIBE, Method Man said he did not want people to automatically think of weed when they thought of him. Method Man said there is much more to him than that, but he is not entirely leaving the culture, he is simply leaving the forefront. People always assume Method Man is high, when he is not, so he is making a change.

Hip Hop Vibe Staff Writer

With his tenth album, Life is Good, on the way, Nas is still one of the most-prominent rappers in the game. Twenty years ago, Nas first began seriously rapping. Recently, Nas discussed all of this with XXL magazine, interviewed by Tyler, the Creator.

Tyler, the Creator is one of the brightest new stars in the rap game. His dominance has just started, as he is only twenty, himself. During his interview with Nas, Tyler had several questions for personal reasons. As a rapper, it is a great opportunity to speak with someone who has been rapping as long as you have been living.

A major Nas fan, Tyler, the Creator talked with him about a number of topics. Tyler, the Creator told Nas his favorite albums from him were 2002 God's Son and 2004's Street's Disciple. Because Nas, Eminem, Jay-Z, and Snoop Dogg all started a twenty years old and have remained in the game, Tyler says he questions if he, too, can last for well over a decade and a half. Nas told Tyler, the Creator he definitely could last that long in the game.

When Tyler, the Creator asked Nas if he was happy, Nas told him his album is titled Life is Good, but if he could change one thing, he would have his children living with him. Nas has two children, a daughter, who was one topic in his legendary feud with Jay-Z, and a son with Kelis. For a few years, Nas and Kelis were married and their son was the product of their marriage. Shortly after his birth, Nas and Kelis' marriage fell apart and she was awarded primary custody over the child.

Nas said, aside form his children not being with him, life is indeed good, though.

For well over a decade, there has been a lot of discussion about the long-awaited Detox album from Dr. Dre. Among the closest people to Dr. Dre while recording have been Game, Snoop Dogg, and Kendrick Lamar. After releasing two albums in two years, Eminem is apparently on hiatus, as he is also very close to Dr. Dre.

Recently, Kendrick Lamar discussed Detox, informing the people the album was in its mixing phases. For well over ten years, the album has been coming "very soon." Seven years ago, Eminem rapped of the album possibly coming in 2006. Last fall and this winter, fans came the closest to hearing Detox.

After "Kush" and "I Need a Doctor" faded away, the Detox stories did too. Snoop Dogg was asked about Detox and he said the album would be here soon enough.
