    Jay-Z Goes Beyond Snoop Dogg's Expectation With 'Flawless' 'Still D.R.E.' Collaboration

    https://www.beyonce.com/Instagram

    During an interview with New York radio show ‘The Breakfast Club’, Snoop confirms that the ‘Empire State of Mind’ hitmaker has served as a ghostwriter for former N.W.A. icon Dr. Dre.
    Aug 3, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Jay-Z blew Snoop Dogg away with his artistry after penning all the lyrics for his Dr. Dre collaboration “Still D.R.E.” in just 30 minutes.
    The “Empire State of Mind” hitmaker, real name Shawn Carter, is credited as a writer on the 1999 track, and is long known to have served as a ghostwriter for former N.W.A icon Dre.
    However, in a recent interview with New York radio show “The Breakfast Club”, Snoop, who features on the hip-hop classic, reveals Jay-Z also came up with his verse, after he and Death Row Records co-founder, The D.O.C., had trouble coming up with anything worthy of the beat, created by Scott Storch, Mel-Man and Dre.
    “Me and D.O.C., he’s one of the greatest writers in hip-hop,” Snoop shared. “We’re in here (the studio) writing this song, struggling with this beat. It’s like, the fourth day.”
    “Dr. Dre fly a n***a from New York into L.A. We all in the studio; 30 minutes later, that n***a’s s**t is done. He wrote Dre’s s**t and my s**t and it was flawless, and me and D.O.C. was like, ‘Well, looks like this n***a outstruck us on this one… (sic)'”
    “It was ‘Still D.R.E.’ and it was Jay-Z and he wrote the whole f**king song,” Snoop revealed.

    And he insists the track wouldn’t have worked out so well if Jay-Z hadn’t been such a big fan of Dre, because he was able to write perfectly for his tone and cadence.
    “Jay-Z is a great writer to begin with for himself, so imagine him striking it for someone he truly loves and appreciates,” Snoop explained. “He loves Dr. Dre and that’s what his pen showed you, that I can’t write for you if I don’t love you. I love everything about you. I know your get down, your tone, your delivery, the way you ‘sposed to say it…(sic)”
    “That is (a) great author… That’s one of Dr. Dre’s best records.”

    Artist of the Week: Gabby Barrett

    The ‘American Idol’ alum becomes the next big thing in country music as she breaks glass ceilings with her searing breakup anthem ‘I Hope’ and debut album ‘Goldmine’.
    Aug 3, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Is Gabby Barrett the next Carrie Underwood? Just like the “Cowboy Casanova” singer, Gabby is an “American Idol” alum. She dominated Billboard Hot Country Songs, becoming the first female to top the chart with a debut solo single since Carrie ruled with “Jesus, Take the Wheel” in 2006.
    Gabby also topped the Country Streaming Songs, making her the first woman to reach the pinnacle on the chart with her debut single. She additionally hit the summit on Billboard Country Airplay while climbing up Billboard Hot 100 and reaching the top 20.
    Gabby’s debut hit “I Hope” is an addictive breakup anthem with a plot twist that was easily embraced by many fans. If people listened closely, they could hear a bit of Carrie Underwood vibes to it too. Since released in July 2019, the single has since been certified double platinum in the United States.
    Gabby considered Carrie her mentor and often asked the Grammy winner for advice during her time on the singing competition. “She talked about how really hard work gets it going – that you have to be willing to work really hard,” Gabby said. “so I was like, ‘Okay, I wanna do that. Let’s do that.’ ”
    While Carrie was immediately signed to a major label after her “Idol” win, Gabby was repeatedly turned down when she tried to land a record deal following her third-place finish on the talent show. The rejections only fueled her hard work as she continued networking and hustling in the studio.
    Gabby released “I Hope” independently. As the single became a hit, she found a home at Warner Nashville and went on to release her debut album “Goldmine” which peaked at No. 4 on Billboard Country Albums. She also collaborated with Charlie Puth on the remix of her hit single, offering a tale of a breakup from both sides.
    While enjoying the success of her breakup song, the 20-year-old singer continued to make impressive achievements as she scored the most first-week debut album streams for any Country act in history, exceeding any other debut Country album ever with first day streams on Amazon Music globally.
    With such grand feats, it’s no wonder she was deemed one of the best newcomers in country music. She’s nominated for New Female Artist of the Year at this year’s Academy of Country Music (ACM) Awards.

    “When I started this band, I had no expectations of what would happen, I just wanted to make and play music with my friend,” she added. “Bobb and I feel so lucky to have been able to do everything we have over the last 10 years, and we are so appreciative of our fans who have stuck with us since the beginning.”
    Tickets for the gig are available here.

    Tekashi 6ix9ine Celebrates House Arrest Release With 'Punani' Music Video

    The ‘Gooba’ hitmaker is now a free man after being released from house confinement and the rapper is celebrating with his crew in a flashy music video full of sports cars.
    Aug 3, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Rapper Tekashi 6ix9ine has debuted a new music video shot on Saturday (01Aug20) after completing his stint on house arrest.
    The “Gooba” star, real name Daniel Hernandez, was released from prison in April (20) and allowed to complete his two-year sentence for gang-related charges under home confinement amid heightened coronavirus concerns.
    His punishment came to an end this weekend, and Tekashi wasted no time in getting straight back to work as he shot a new promo in his native Brooklyn, New York, where he showed off a series of colourful supercars, including two Lamborghinis and a McLaren, reports TMZ.
    Tekashi was joined for the early morning shoot by a big entourage and a number of security guards, who patrolled the cordoned-off area.
    He and his team appeared to have worked around the clock to turn the project around – the finished footage, titled “PUNANI”, was uploaded to YouTube on Sunday.

    Although he’s now free, the rapper, 24, isn’t completely off the hook – he will spend the next five years on supervised probation and still has to complete 300 hours of community service after securing a reduced sentence by turning on his old gangmembers and becoming a witness for the prosecution.

    Sheryl Crow Hopes to Inspire Fans to Vote With New Remake 'Woman in the White House'

    WENN

    The ‘All I Wanna Do’ singer has revamped her 2012 single ahead of the United States Presidential election in hopes to inspire fans to vote this coming November.
    Aug 3, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Sheryl Crow has rerecorded “Woman in the White House” as the U.S. Presidential Election draws near.
    The nine-time Grammy-winning singer originally released the B-side track in 2012 and has now rehashed the tune with an accompanying lyrics-driven YouTube video in the hopes it will inspire Americans to vote on 3 November (20) during Election Day.
    [embedded content]
    “When I first recorded this song eight years ago, I was hopeful that we, as a nation, would seize the moment and put a woman in the White House,” she wrote in a statement to Rolling Stone. “That did not happen – but our movement of strength grows as we take to the streets and make our voices heard. We must not stop there. It is time for us to show up to the polls, be seen and heard as the great leaders we are.”
    Sheryl has also transformed “Woman in the White House” from a country song to a banging hard rock track, adding a fiery guitar solo on the outro.
    The new revamp is the latest rehashing from Crow, who also covered “Lonely Town, Lonely Street” by Bill Withers to honour the late musician, who died in March (20).
