Snoop Lion - No Guns Allowed Feat Drake & Cori B.

Snoop Lion links up with Major Lazer and Diplo to executive produce his forthcoming album Reincarnated.  No Guns Allowed is one of the lead singles that has been released featuring Drake.  What a combo, right?

Seems a lot of the industry's heavy hitters are dropping new music this week and that is cool with me.

Snoop Dogg - Luv Drunk featuring The Dream & Landy Cognac

I do have to say Luv Drunk is my favorite song on Snoop Dogg's latest album Malice N Wonderland, so when I found out there were new visuals for this video, I had to post it.

On a random side note, it seems every time I go to the bank, this song magically comes on...maybe its trying to tell me something?

And while I am already overanalyzing everything, this new video makes me think Kanye West may have started a new trend.

Anyway, check out the new video Luv Drunk by Snoop Dogg.

That Girl...

While surfing the net, I came across a video for one of my favorite songs. I didn't even know they had a video for this song, so I guess I am late on this one. I love Vevo. Oh well!

Pharell teamed up with Snoop Dogg a few years back on his solo album In My Mind to make one of my favorite songs of that album called That Girl.

I used to listen to it all the time with no idea there was a video. Maybe it was released maybe not. Either way, here's the throwback video of the day.

Snoop Dogg At Fluxx???

Or maybe not...

Apparently the reason Snoop Dogg didn't show up to Fluxx Thursday night was because he was sick all day. Hmmmm, I wonder if that really was the real reason?

For the people that stood in line waiting to get in only to be disappointed from an artist not appearing had to be the ultimate let down.

Fluxx isn't the the only place to suffer the flake syndrome though. It seems like flake season is in effect for artist appearances in San Diego right now.

Rich Boy didn't show up to Belo, Ester Dean was no where to be seen in Decos, The-Dream and Fabolous chose to skip out on their On Broadway appearance and due to managers being fired and faulty contracts Nicki Minaj never even knew she was booked at 4th & B.

The interesting thing is that out of all the situations, the only one to really catch flack was the Nicki Minaj at 4th & B situation. I don't know why anyone would blame a promoter or booking agent for an artist's manager being shady.

I'm gonna throw an SSD flag out because artists flake shows and appearances all the time, but if the promoter/booking agent knows ahead of time that something is foul and cancels the show I would think that would be better than an artist not showing at all.

Honestly, its even worse if the artist was paid to be somewhere and flakes out, it just looks bad for everyone involved.

In my opinion and as a business person, although I wouldn't want either to happen, if I had to choose one over the other, I'd rather have a cancellation then a no show.

Sidenote...the good thing about Fluxx was they provided an Open bar for the patrons to make up for Snoop's absence. I say anytime you have an open bar at a club is pretty cool even if it is for the last 15 minutes of the night.

Either way, things happen and we just have to pick up and move on to the next one.

All I Do Is Win...

Going through life's daily grind, I know there are times when you just don't feel motivated, inspired or ready to take on life's challenges.

Sometimes you need a good pep talk from a random friend, or every once in a while seeing someone else's success may get your wheels turning. I know actually experiencing a small taste of what it is exactly that you want can get the motivational juices flowing as well.

For me, every once in a while I need Music, friends that share similar interests and when I really get down on my luck, I might just need a swift kick in the pants to bring me back to reality. However, I try to never get that low, and usually a great song does the trick.

Today's I'm focused song is actual the new video from DJ Khaled's latest album Victory. The song is called All I Do Is Win featuring T-Pain, Ludacris, Rick Ross and Snoop Dogg.

DJ Khaled starts the song off by saying "Don't let anyone tell you you can't do something." Those words ring truth to me and definitely should relate to anyone trying to build a foundation for something great. Keep grinding, stay motivated and whatever you do, don't quit.

Snoop Dogg in San Diego...

Wow, what a month of fun. #Scorpioseason is definitely in full effect. First off, Mya comes to San Diego to host my 30th birthday party and then Snoop Dogg comes to town the very next Friday.

Thanks to A-List Televison, I got back stage access to the Snoop Dogg show at the House Of Blues San Diego. Much Love to the TV host, Eric Edwards.

I was only going to go to the afterparty for Flaunt Fridays, but since its Scorpio Season, everything works out perfectly.

Anyway, The Dogg Father rocked the house by bringing out his Uncle, Tha Dogg Pound and Lady of Rage. This show was hot and it took me back to '95 riding in my Lincoln Continental...of course the Good times continue to roll from then until now.
