The TDE singer makes her triumphant return before the holidays with a new 15 track set.

12/20/2024

You don’t reach the heights that a legend like Snoop Dogg reaches if you’re not willing to learn every stop of the way.
Fresh off the release of his 20th studio album Missionary with the help of his old friend and mentor Dr. Dre, the Long Beach rapper sat down with Bootleg Kev as he continues his rollout.

During their conversation, Snoop commended TDE founder Top Dawg for the way he and his label conduct business and how he’s often inspired by them, recalling a time I got in touch with Kendrick Lamar after watching one of his live performances.

“That’s what the game is about – learning and getting information and not being too big to ask,” he said. “I called Kendrick maybe a year and a half ago when I was overseas and I had watched him perform in Paris. He had did a show in Paris for Amazon, and I was so f—king intrigued with his show and his showmanship and the way he had his sh—t together. I hit Terrace Martin and I said, Cuh, give me K. Dot’s number. And he gave me his number and I called cuh and I said, ‘Man, how the f—k did you do that show? What I gotta do to make my show like that?’”

Adding, “And he gave me some simple sh—t, but it was so much information in that small conversation that I ended up making my show even better. But that’s me not having an ego and reaching out to someone who’s younger than me, flyer than me, doper than me and got a tap on some sh—t that I need to get information on.”

Kev then asked the legend if he felt like his humility has been the key to his success and longevity. Yeah, whatever you put out is what you’re gonna get,” Snoop replied. “It’s a lot of sh—t that be happening to people and then you wonder why. It’s the energy that they put out. I went through mines early because that was the energy I put out. So, like I told you, when I got to The Doggfather, I was trying to find a new energy and I just been sticking with it.”

Kendrick and Snoop’s relationship almost hit a snag this year after the Compton rapper expressed his disappointment in the West Coast legend for reposting Drake‘s controversial A.I. assisted diss track “Taylor Made Freestyle” on the song “wacced out murals” rapping that “it must’ve been the edibles” that made him do it. Snoop quickly apologized while agreeing that it was indeed the edibles on X and the issue seems to be squashed between the two. This was also something he and Bootleg Kev talked about.

“That’s my nephew, man. He’s a rapper, he’s supposed to speak his mind and tell his truth. That’s the way he felt and he has the right to say that,” he told Kev. “I’m his big homeboy, so I have to take what’s given to me from his perspective because he’s speaking truth. And the truth shouldn’t hurt you, it should make you better. I’m one to accept truth when it’s brought to me directly… He feels that I shouldn’t have played that. Damn, I was on them edibles, my n—a. I gotta be more careful. You right, nephew.”

Two decades ago, Carrie Underwood auditioned for American Idol, during the reality music competition’s fourth season in 2005.

On March 9, she will join Luke Bryan and Lionel Richie at the judges’ table, when the American Idol season premiere launches on ABC and streams on Hulu.

A new video previewing the upcoming season shows the moment Underwood stepped into the audition room as a judge for the first time, juxtaposing the moment with footage of Underwood’s American Idol audition in 2005. When Underwood auditioned on American Idol, she performed the Bonnie Raitt classic “I Can’t Make You Love Me,” and auditioned for then-judges Paul Abdul, Simon Cowell and Randy Jackson.

“Twenty years ago I was standing on a stage just like this one,” Underwood can be seen saying in the video.

“And now you’re sitting here with us,” Richie replies.

“That’s the power of American Idol,” Bryan adds.

Host Ryan Seacrest then asks, “So, should we save some lives together?”

“Let’s do this,” Underwood replies with a smile.

Since her own win on American Idol, Underwood has earned 16 No. 1 Billboard Country Airplay hits, as well as eight Grammy trophies and 16 ACM Awards. She’s spearheaded her own Reflection: The Las Vegas residency (which continues through April 2025), released the book Find Your Path, launched the fitness app Fit52, and starred in the show open for NBC’s Sunday Night Football for 12 consecutive seasons. She also launched the SiriusXM channel Carrie’s Country, followed by Carr-dio by Carrie’s Country, and Savior Sunday Daily by Carrie’s Country, both of which stream on the SiriusXM app. Underwood recently made a guest appearance on comedian Nate Bargatze’s holiday special, which aired on CBS.

The latest iteration of Billboard’s Top Movie Songs chart, powered by Tunefind (a Songtradr company), for November 2024 gets into the holiday spirit thanks to the Christmas flick Red One, with Brenda Lee’s “Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree” reigning at No. 1.

Rankings for the Top Movie Songs chart are based on song and film data provided by Tunefind and ranked using a formula blending that data with sales and streaming information tracked by Luminate during the corresponding period of November 2024.

“Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree” is part of a holiday-themed soundtrack from Red One, which stars Dwayne Johnson, Chris Evans and Lucy Liu, plus J.K. Simmons as Santa Claus.
