Kendrick Lamar’s new album GNX not only shines a spotlight on Los Angeles’ current crop of rising rappers such as AzChike, Hitta J3 and Lefty Gunplay, but contains an overt tribute to one of the city’s most famous adopted sons, Tupac Shakur.
As an ‘80s baby who grew up in L.A. — specifically Compton — during 2Pac’s prime and even witnessed the rap legend film scenes for his original “California Love” music video with Dr. Dre at the Compton Swap Meet as a kid, his love of ‘Pac is no surprise.
But for Kendrick Lamar Duckworth, it goes deeper than that. In the early hours of September 13, 2010 — exactly 14 years after 2Pac’s death — the then-up-and-coming lyricist had an eerie dream in which Shakur came to him and delivered a message that would have a profound impact on him.
“I was coming from a late studio session, sleeping on mom’s couch. I’m 26 now — it wasn’t that long ago,” he recalled in a 2013 interview with GQ. “I remember being tired, tripping from the studio, lying down, and falling into a deep sleep and seeing a vision of ‘Pac talking to me.
“Weirdest shit ever. I’m not huge on superstition and all that shit. That’s what made it so crazy. It can make you go nuts. Hearing somebody that you looked up to for years saying, ‘Don’t let the music die.’ Hearing it clear as day. Clear as day. Like, he’s right there. Just a silhouette.”
Explaining how the spiritual encounter influenced his approach to music, he added: “It wasn’t just about money, hos, clothes, drinking. I mean, I come from that world, but at the same time, I started to realize that there’s people out there that can’t really connect to that lifestyle. They’re in the struggle.”
Kendrick noted in a separate interview with Home Grown Radio that just a day before the “scary” vision, his mother pointed out to him that his and ‘Pac’s birthdays are just one day apart. “I never knew that shit,” he said. “That was some wild shit.”
On Wednesday (Nov. 13), Zuck shared a heartfelt post on Instagram dedicated to his wife Priscilla Chan. The post, which can be seen below, features a carousel of photos and images. One shows a throwback photo of the couple. Others show Zuck and T-Pain in the studio. In the caption, the billionaire tech entrepreneur explained the post.
“‘Get Low’ was playing when I first met Priscilla at a college party, so every year we listen to it on our dating anniversary,” he wrote. “This year I worked with @tpain on our own version of this lyrical masterpiece. Sound on for the track and also available on Spotify. Love you P.”
T-Pain commented on the post: “Happy anniversary! Thanks for letting me be a part of this.”
Chan also reacted to the post: “Can’t get quite as low anymore but more in love and grateful for that love than ever. Love you MZ.”
The remix finds Zuck and T-Pain (now known as Z-Pain) covering the Crunk Juice creator’s club track with an acoustic and at times cringy twist. Zuck sings the exact lyrics to the original track but turns the lively song into a folksy vibe.
“From the windows to the walls/’Til sweat drops down my balls,” Zuck sings over soft guitar licks. “Till all these b**ches crawl/Oh, skeet-skeet, muthaf**ka/Oh skeet-skeet goddamn.”
T-Pain comes through and sings the Ying Yang Twins’ lyrics. This was definitely not on anyone’s 2024 bingo card.

Birdman and Mannie Fresh joined all four members of the Hot Boys — Lil Wayne, Juvenile, Turk and B.G. — on stage for a highly anticipated reunion at Lil Weezyana Fest.
Lil Wayne’s annual festival took place at the Smoothie King Center in New Orleans, LA on Saturday (November 2).
The group appeared as a full four piece for the first time since 2000, and performed “Get Your Roll On,” “I Need a Hot Girl” and “Neighborhood Superstar,” in addition to versions of their solo material.
During the show, Cash Money founder Birdman and legendary producer Mannie Fresh joined for the performance of “I Need a Hot Girl,” which you can check out below.
Though Weezy and his team took over the New Orleans arena for the festival, the rap superstar won’t be performing at the city’s biggest upcoming event, Super Bowl LIX.
Kendrick Lamar was recently announced as the musical act for Super Bowl LIX, but the decision proved to be polarizing, with even Wayne himself expressing disappointment over it.
LL Cool J even offered Wayne some words of wisdom after he was left devastated by not being selected for the show.
Sitting down for an interview with Fat Joe for his new talk show on STARZ, LL attempted to uplift Weezy’s spirits while gently reminding him that this is Kendrick’s moment.
“Lil Wayne is one of the most talented dudes on the planet, period. He’s one of our great artists, he’s an unbelievable writer,” he said. “He’ll have his day — let Kendrick get that. Let’s keep it moving. I never did the Super Bowl!”
Houston rap legends Scarface, Paul Wall and Slim Thug are featured in Megan Thee Stallion’s new video for “Bigger in Texas,” her first single from Megan: Act II.
Co-directed by Megan and Julian Klincewicz, the visual finds her rocking a grill and spitting lyrics like, “E’rrythang bigger in Texas, ain’t no injections, we at the pole, no elections/B####, don’t come around me tryna pass out drugs, ho, I ain’t poppin’ no Teslas.” Celebrity jeweler Johnny Dang, who’s also Paul Wall’s longtime business partner, makes a special cameo.
Megan: Act II features 12 new tracks, including the “Mamushi” remix and “Roc Steady” featuring Flo Milli.
Paul Wall rose to notoriety in the mid-2000s as a key figure in the Houston rap scene, known for his distinct Southern style, drawl, and contributions to the “chopped and screwed” sub-genre of rap popularized in H-Town. Some of his biggest tracks include “Sittin’ Sidewayz” featuring Big Pokey, “They Don’t Know” with Mike Jones and “Grillz” with Nelly, which earned a Grammy nomination.
Scarface, meanwhile, is best known as a member of the Geto Boys, who brought raw, street-level storytelling and dark themes to Hip-Hop in the late ’80s and ’90s. Known for his gritty lyricism, deep voice and emotional storytelling, Scarface helped make the Geto Boys famous with hits like “Mind Playing Tricks on Me.” As a solo artist, Scarface dropped several albums, including Mr. Scarface Is Back (1991), The Diary (1994) and The Fix (2002).
Slim Thug got his start in the early 2000s, initially through independent mixtapes and collaborations with other Houston rappers like Mike Jones and Paul Wall. His mainstream breakthrough came with his verse on Jones’ hit single “Still Tippin’” in 2004, which helped bring Houston rap to a national audience.

The Atlanta rap veteran posted a video on Instagram capturing his encounter with Optimus, the new humanoid robot that was unveiled by Elon Musk on Thursday (October 10).
In the clip, Tity Boi can be heard having a full conversation with the robot, asking it: “Hey buddy! How you doing, man? It’s nice to meet you?”
The robot replies: “It’s nice to meet you,” before introducing itself as Optimus.
2 Chainz, who seemingly stuns the robot for a few seconds by introducing himself as “Toni,” then tries to get to know the Tesla invention a little better by asking if it can “play basketball” and “shoot jumpshots.”
“Hmmm. Maybe one day. Can you?” it replies, to which the rapper says: “I’ll teach you.”
2 Chainz then asks Optimus if it likes Balenciaga and offers it some clothing from the luxury fashion house, although the robot somewhat generically replies: “Awesome! That’s cool.”
Before parting ways, the former Playaz Circle MC promises to buy his own Optimus, adding: “I’ll see you in another couple months.”
