YouTube celebrate 50 years of hip-hop with FIFTY DEEP campaign
YouTube has announced that they will celebrate the 50th anniversary of hip-hop this year by launching the FIFTY DEEP campaign.This month marks 50 years since DJ Kool Herc performed at a party in the Bronx and showed off his DJing invention of scratching records to extend the instrumental breaks in the song. This revelation was the cornerstone for hip-hop as people could dance longer (evolving into breakdancing) and aspiring MCs could rap during song breaks.In honour of the musical milestone, YouTube has launched FIFTY DEEP, “a cultural campaign on YouTube that salutes how far [the genre] come.” Director of Black Music & Culture Tuma Basa wrote a blog post on the new campaign, saying that the mission “is for every generation to dig into the gems of YouTube’s archival treasury of Hip Hop.”They plan to fulfil their mission by collating a visual library of 2,000 videos that “have changed the game” for hip-hop music, having a custom Yoodle (YouTube’s version of the Google Doodle) to pay homage to the phenomenon of type beats, and creating a Google Arts & Culture Hip Hop Hub to collate “a wide range of cultural institutions’ collections and curated stories.”FIFTY DEEP will kick off this Friday (August 11) with a live stream of Hip-Hop 50 Live on Mass Appeal’s official YouTube channel.

Snoop Dogg has cancelled his upcoming Hollywood Bowl shows in Los Angeles due to the ongoing writers’ and actors’ strikes.The two shows planned at the prestigious amphitheatre were to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Long Beach rapper’s debut 1993 album ‘Doggystyle’. The pioneering record was his first Number One album and the fastest-selling hip-hop album ever at the time.Now, Snoop Dogg – real name Calvin Cordozar Broadus Jr – has posted a statement on Instagram telling fans: “We regret to inform you that due to the ongoing strike and the uncertainty of when this will be over, we need to cancel the Hollywood Bowl show.A post shared by snoopdogg (@snoopdogg)“We continue to stand in solidarity with all of our brothers and sisters in the WGA and SAG/AFTRA during this difficult time and remain hopeful that the AMPTP will come back to the negotiating table with a REAL proposal and we can all get back to work.”As confirmed on the Hollywood Bowl website, customers who purchased tickets will automatically receive refunds credited to their original payment method.The concerts, produced by Dr Dre, were supposed to happen in late June but were postponed to late October to “stand in solidarity with the writers”.A post shared by snoopdogg (@snoopdogg)The WGA and SAG/AFTRA unions are fighting for better wages, increased streaming residuals and safeguards against the use of AI technology in the streaming era.

Post Malone, ELO’s Jeff Lynne, Gloria Estefan and More Light Up Songwriters Hall of Fame Ceremony
Jem Aswad Executive Editor, Music We say every year that the Songwriters Hall of Fame Induction ceremony is the music industry’s best-kept secret — an invite-only, insider combination of a superstar awards show and a family reunion for the tight-knit songwriting and music-publishing community that is in its 52nd year and has never been televised or livestreamed. In fact, we’ve said it so many times that longtime SHOF CEO Linda Moran quoted us in her opening remarks on Thursday night. While the show has had honorees pull out in the past — Jay-Z due to the impending birth of his and Beyonce’s twins, less happily the Kinks’ Ray Davies due to the death of his sister — this year’s event was the first time two honorees canceled, deferring their inductions to next year: the reclusive Sade, who everyone figured had about a 40% chance of showing up, postponed several months ago due to a scheduling conflict, and Snoop Dogg, who pulled out abruptly for undisclosed reasons earlier in the week. But the SHOF is such a star-studded evening that the event was a rousing success filled with great music regardless — and the silver lining was the fact that it was over in a relatively tidy three hours (it often stretches toward five).

thirst trap queen in recent years — but longtime pal Snoop Dogg, 51, says he doesn’t peep her provocative posts.The “Gin & Juice” rapper revealed to Insider that he tries to scroll past any image of Stewart “on the Instagram page looking like that.”“That’s a lane we both stay out of,” he quipped in a story published Thursday.Stewart and the Death Row Records mogul became pals in 2008 when Snoop appeared on “The Martha Stewart Show.”The pair whipped up mashed potatoes with cognac — and the rest is history.They roasted Justin Bieber on Comedy Central in 2015 and co-hosted “Martha & Snoop’s Potluck Dinner Party” the following year.The cookbook author even gave a sweet shout-out to the Grammy-nominated performer in her Skechers ad for the 2023 Super Bowl.In the 30-second clip, Stewart gets a tattoo of Snoop’s face on her arm with the words “My Dogg.”Gushing over the finished ink, the selfie empress coos, “Ooh, that’s gangster.”Stewart’s unexpected road to sensual social media stardom began in 2020 when she posted a pic of herself lightly puckering her lips while lounging poolside.The snap quickly went viral — and her fans had a field day.She shared another sultry shot in November 2022 — a mirror selfie that appeared to show herself wearing nothing but gold earrings.The DIY queen dished to Insider her secrets for having the camera love you.“Just look good and pose with a provocative look on your face,” she revealed, adding that others can mimic her looks by having “someone edit your picture real well.”“A lot of the girls that you think are just naturally amazing are highly edited online.
