. . , , , , , , ,

DJ Skee and AXS TV / Skee.TV sat down with Snoop Dogg (aka Snoop Lion) for an extended, in depth, and, at times, very personal chat. This uncut interview covers the evolution of his identity and music including his first comments after squashing his beef with Suge Knight, discussing the meaning behind his new album and documentary, Reincarnated, why he is speaking out about gun violence, putting Drake on his new single and his connection to gun violence (after a gun incident in Toronto), working on a reggae album with Diplo, and much more.

The Funky Bunch Wants To Reunite With Marky Mark Wahlberg

. . , , , , , , ,

Quick, name all the members of Marky Mark & The Funky Bunch not named Marky Mark. We’ll wait. Don’t feel bad. Anyway,  two of the members are looking to reunite with the rapper turned AQUAhydrate promoter and actor. For real.

Reports TMZ:

Just a few days ago, 41-year-old Mark reportedly told a UK magazine he “might” get the old band back together … but, “I’ve just got to find the right time.” Now, 2 of the Bunch’s former members — Terry Yancey (aka DJ T) and Hector Barros (aka “The Booty Inspector”) — tell us … “Our initial reaction was that it would be amazing if he were to want to reunite with the group.” So far, the guys say there have not been any official conversations between the two sides … but tell us a reunion has been something they’ve been thinking about for years. “We always had the want of getting back together as a group (Marky Mark and The Funky Bunch). But once Mark’s acting career took off it became obvious it wasn’t going to happen.”  The guys say they reached out to Marky Mark in 2008, but he respectfully declined — “He expressed that he would love to be on tour doing music again, but he felt he was too far removed from it.”

First off, it’s 2013 and using the name “The Booty Inspector” just isn’t going to fly. No shots. Interestingly, the story also mentions that the Funky Bunch still performs to this day. Who knew? Holla in the comments if you’ve been to a Funky Bunch concert and let us know if you’re hoping this reunion happens. Seriously, no shade.

Beanie Sigel Slapped With Extra Jail Time

.

Damn Beans! 2013 is not bringing much good news to Beanie Sigel these days. The rapper is already behind bars for tax evasion, and has been sentenced to extra time on a separate drug charge. Sigel was given 23 more months behind bars stemming from his arrest last summer for possession. Last August, Sigel –real name Dwight Grant– and a friend were pulled over in Pennsylvania, and found to be in possession of a bottle of codeine, and had nearly $5,000 cash on his person. Meanwhile, the driver  of the car was popped for possession of prescription drugs, and weed. A loaded gun was also found in the vehicle. Sigel pleaded guilty to drug charges, while the gun offense was thrown out. As a result he must spend an extra two years on top of the two years he was sentenced to, for not paying Uncle Sam. Before going to jail, the Philly native  signed a deal with EMI, announced a pre-prison tour, and dropped his sixth studio album This Time.
