All of the action took place right on the Honda Stage at the iHeart Radio Theatre. 

 

Accompanied by host Big Boy and featured artist on the thirteenth studio album Pharrell, they discussed the new album and even reflected on their past with one another. 

 

The D-O double G admits to Pharrell bringing out his more melodic side on this album, according to HipHopDX.com.

 

Artists Korupt, Warren G, and Pharrell of course accompanied him at his main event to bring a variety of tributes, premieres and throwbacks revealing a sultry feel to the atmosphere. 

 

His five-piece band aided him as songs off of his new album were played. Peaches and Cream, So High, and So Many Pros amoungst others from back in the day, such as Dr. Dre’s hit Lets Get High were performed. In honor of the late Tupac, a tribute was done by Warren Sapp with his hit 2 of Amerika’s Most Wanted! 

 

Snoop then finished off the event with the infamous "Who Am I" (What’s My Name).

Well, if you haven't heard by now Slim Shady, also known as Eminem has added his own mental genius to the infamous lyric page---rap genius.com. With lyrics quoted from Nicki Minaj and many other artists, this site is known for the legitimacy of lyric interpretation. If you have ever felt a little confused about your favorite artist verse, then this is definitely the place to go for assurance. Dr. Dre's companion has taken it upon himself to interpret his own lyrics. As apposed to the typical third-party lyricist, he takes you through a journey of his lyrical flow and career to break down bits and pieces of his songs on the popular site. Going into depth about his name, brand, and music the annotations can be located on Eminem's profilepage.

 

It is funny that Dr. Dre was mentioned becausehe is apparently linked to two phenomenons.

Beats By Dre and K. Dot premiered the official King Kunta video right in Times Square, New York City! While his hit album has been recognized for landing a spot on the billboard 200, he mentions that his album entitled To Pimp A Butterfly was initially entitled, "TU Pimp A Caterpillar." with respects to the late Tupac Shakur. In conclusion, Shady is not the only one dropping some knowledge and giving us clarity! If these two artists have nothing else in common besides the things that are "for the record" we can all agree that they are pretty legendary.

A night of partying and getting wasted went terribly wrong for former Death Row Records CEO, Suge Knight, as he was shot multiple times at an unofficial pre-VMAs party hosted by Chris Brown. According to TMZ, shots were fired around 1:30am in the early hours of August 24 at 1OAK in Los Angles, CA which turned out to have hit the super-producer six times.

TMZ reports that eyewitnesses and Suge's family claimed he walked out of the club on his own and was then spotted by a police officer who took the producer to his car until the ambulance arrived. The 49- year-old was rushed straight to the hospital by an ambulance where he underwent emergency surgery.

Chris Brown took to Twitter to express his disappointment in the horrific incident that unfortunately occurred at his party.

@chrisbrown: It's disappointing that we as a society can't have fun or enjoy ourselves without any altercations sometimes. Miss me with the bullsh-t!!!

The former Death Row CEO is currently hospitalized in the ICU but is expected to recover.
