Over the past few years, Ewing Athletics has been consistent with their dope collaborations and in 2019, they introduced a brand new version of the Ewing 33 Hi in conjunction with the legendary Death Row Records. The shoe had a black and red upper and it paid homage to the main colors of the label. Now, Death Row Records and Ewing Athletics are back with a brand new colorway of the Ewing 33 Hi except this time, it is white and royal. In fact, this collab pays homage to the 25th anniversary of Tha Dogg Pound‘s classic album, “Dogg Food.”

As you can see from the official images below, the shoe has a white leather upper with blue accents on the tongue, midsole, and ankle strap on the back heel. Death Row branding is placed on the tongue as well as the strap, while Patrick Ewing’s signature is placed on the side. It’s a colorway that looks dope on-feet and is a collectors item for any huge hip-hop fan.

If you’re looking to cop these, you will be able to do so as of Friday, May 29th for $140 USD. This sneaker is exclusive to EwingAthletics.com and will be available in sizes 5-16.

Fans will pay a pretty penny to get items that were once owned by their favorite artists, and articles belonging to Tupac Shakur are hot commodities. The world lost a great talent in 1996 when Tupac was murdered in a drive-by shooting in Las Vegas. It’s unsurprising that collectors and fans of the rap icon continue to purchase and bid on items in hopes of owning a part of history.

We’ve seen his letter to pop star Madonna and his prison polaroids hit the auction block, and now Gotta Have Rock and Roll have a few more keepsakes for sale. The auctioneers have numerous Tupac-related items including two bandanas, one blue and one red, reportedly worn by the late rapper. “Tupac Shakur owned and worn blue bandana ‘do-rag,'” they wrote in the description, mistaking the folded and tied bandana for a du-rag. “The bandana came from the collection of a very close family friend of Tupac’s. Very good condition.” They’re estimated to bring in upwards of $4,000 each.

Other Tupac Shakur items for sale include a Death Row Records All Eyez On Me press release, the rapper’s hotel bill from The Mondrian, his diamond nose stud, a diamond gold ring, his handwritten lyrics to an unreleased song, a handwritten letter, a handwritten poem, and more.

Unlikely besties Snoop Dogg and Martha Stewart’s friendship is airtight, so much so that when Ellen DeGeneres needed a guest host for her show, she received a two-for-one deal. Martha and Snoop co-hosted Ellen, and together they interview Snoop’s longtime friend and collaborator, Ice Cube. The Southern California rap icons flanked the retail mogul as she pegged Cube with questions about her Martha & Snoop’s Potluck Dinner Party co-star.

Cube recalled first meeting Snoop decades ago when the Long Beach rapper dropped his debut studio album back in 1993. “He was doing a release party for Doggystyle on a boat,” Ice Cube said. “Some kinda yacht when he first started. I quickly said what’s up to Snoop [and] got off that yacht ’cause I knew it was gon’ be lit before it left the dock. I’m like, ‘I’m not gettin’ in the water with Death Row!’ And so, it was cool. He showed a lot of love. He always showed a lot of love. Nothing but love and respect.”

“I’ve seen this man come a long way,” Cube continued. “Very proud of my man Snoop.” Martha wanted to know what moment with Snoop Dogg was Ice Cube’s favorite. “Going on tour with Snoop. I love touring with Snoop,” said Cube. “Snoop has a party backstage before he hit the stage.” Martha interjected that she’s been experiencing that backstage craziness with Snoop, as well. 

Watch Ice Cube praise Snoop below and see what else he had to say about the passing of Kobe Bryant.

It was announced last week that toy company Hasbro had officially acquired Entertainment One, the parent company of Death Row Records. That means that the imprint that birthed classic albums such as Dr. Dre‘s The Chronic, Snoop Dogg‘s Doggystyle, and Tupac Shakur’s All Eyez On Me is currently operated by the same people that distribute My Little Pony dolls. At the height of Death Row’s popularity, Suge Knight and Dre were said to have been earning $100,000,000 annually for the label, running it with finesse and strong business acumen. After the death of Pac, the incarceration of Suge, and the departures of Dre and Snoop, things began to go downhill for Death Row Records. The Doggfather knows a thing or two about how things spiralled out of control for Suge and Dre’s baby, speaking on the current state of affairs in the United States and likening President Donald Trump’s actions to those of Suge Knight.

Editing Trump’s face on a photo of Suge Knight in a red suit, Snoop Dogg compared Trump’s recent moves to the former co-founder of Death Row Records. “Trump out here running the country like it’s Death Row Records,” laughed the West Coast legend. In the past, the 48-year-old has been extremely critical of American politics, especially with Trump in charge. He previously took a trip to the White House solely for the purpose of lighting up a blunt and raising his middle finger to the Republican party residing inside.

This begs the question: how would Suge Knight run the country if he were elected President?
