Warren G's fed up with young guns telling OG rappers their time is up, because according to his earnings, his classic, "Regulate," duet with Nate Dogg is played globally every damn day!

TMZ Hip Hop spoke to the G-Funk visionary about his upcoming hip hop moves when he revealed his newly acquired minor-league baseball team would be named "Regulators" ... and he never gets tired of hearing the track.

It was a clear black night and a clear white moon when Warren and the late Nate D-O-double-G recorded "Regulate" for Suge Knight's 1994 "Above The Rim" soundtrack.

Over 30 years and 2 platinum plaques later, Warren says he sees firsthand how the younger generations are still gravitating toward the record.

Expect T-Pain to turn heads even more than usual around Atlanta ... thanks to his new custom-built Alpha Ford Raptor -- courtesy of the guys from Truck Dynasty!!!

Jerry Eisenband from the new Discovery series "Truck Dynasty" tells TMZ Hip Hop, T-Pain traded in the Ford Bronco they previously designed for him, and took home a sleek gray and fire-red 2024 Ford Raptor R.

Marlon Wayans has a very personal reason why his and brother Shawn's box office blockbuster "White Chicks" will NEVER get a follow-up ... and that's because getting a full face-beat takes too freakin' long!!!

Kai Cenat had Marlon on his Mafiathon 3 stream and brought up "White Chicks 2," taking Marlon down horror memory lane, spending 7 hours in the make-up chair all to turn into a bad bish.

Marlon explained that the 7-hour makeup job was in addition to the 14 hours of the daily production and the 1 hour it took to remove the costumes.

Master P wants the smoke with Shaquille O'Neal ... telling TMZ Sports he's hoping to set up a college basketball matchup between their two schools -- University of New Orleans and Sacramento State!!

We spoke with Miller while he was busy hosting the "TMZ After Dark" tour over the weekend ... and during a brief pause in all the fun, the rap legend -- and new president of basketball operations at UNO -- explained how he's trying to set up a competition with the Hornets, as the Big Aristotle is their GM and his son Shaqir is on the roster.

"If y'all want to see that, y'all need to call the NCAA and say, 'Look, man, at least let us scrimmage each other this year,'" P said. "I think that'll be big for the culture in New Orleans. Shaq and Master P at the University of New Orleans and University of Sacramento."

Drake's made incredible music over the years, just at the expense of his top producers, OVO Noah "40" Shebib and Boi-1da's love for one another ... so claims Stat Quo.

The former Dr. Dre protégé recently appeared on Justin Hunte's "Culture United" stream alongside Glasses Malone and several other podcasters, where he referred to the Canadian's behavior as "two-faced" while discussing Young Thug's leaked phone call explosion.

Stat told the chat he saw the Canucks buckin' in real time because 40 and Boi-1da hated one another for years -- and sent a shout out to Boi-1da as a half-apology for spilling the beans.

Soulja Boy now has a grown-up 3-year-old on his hands and saw fit to celebrate him like the Lil Soulja prince he is with a blowout bash at Dave & Busters!!!

TMZ Hip Hop obtained photos of Big Draco and his child's mother, Jackie 🇵🇦🇵🇷, royally spoiling the s*** out of their 3-year-old son KeAndre AKA Lil Soulja, with a very "Bluey" birthday party ... cupcakes, bubbles, the whole wackadoo!!!

The little tyke was swarmed by his toddler friends and received plenty of gifts, including a triple-layer cake decorated with 'Bluey & Friends' emblems and toys!!!

Omarion is single and open to mingle -- if you come correct, ladies!!!

TMZ Hip Hop caught up with Big O out in NYC last week, on the heels of his new big record deal.

Omarion recently inked a partnership with Create Music Group -- setting the stage for a potential blockbuster solo album and his group B2K's comeback project all in one swoop ... but according to him, he still has room for love in his life!!!

Young Thug's world is in shambles after jailhouse phone calls leaked his most personal thoughts about Drake, Gunna, and (ex?) girlfriend Mariah The Scientist, among others ... DJ Akademiks thinks the rapper may be a little too "thug" for his own good!!!

DJ Akademiks joined the new TMZ Livestream on Monday with Harvey & Charles and outlined a slew of Thug's current predicaments.

The embattled rapper appeared on a podcast and went on a tangent, sharing that he had equal hatred towards snitches as he does closeted homosexuals ... Ak says it's because Thug has been disillusioned by the gangsta street code and rule #1 is never to rat!!!

Daz Dillinger announced his upcoming album with some art that says "Fuc Death Row Records" with pure vitriol, but fans can relax -- he's not dissing Snoop Dogg!!!

TMZ Hip Hop recently caught up with Daz at LAX, and he explained his new album rollout for "Retaliation, Revenge, and Get Back 3," where he referred to somebody as "Snoop Knight."

The post featured the legendary Death Row logo with bullet holes, shooting the image to hell and the news threw fans for a loop.

When Busta Rhymes shoots his shot, he is NOT subtle about it ... like the NSFW line he threw at Mariah Carey during a VMAs after-party, sending the crowd and the singer into a tizzy.

Watch the vid ... Busta grabs the mic at a wild bash after the 2025 MTV Video Music Awards, where he propositions Mariah for some dirty dancing, laying out his proposal in stark detail.

He states in front of the party, "You ain't got a husband no more, I wanna hump on your leg."

Two months after launching their relationship, Megan Thee Stallion and Klay Thompson are once again stepping out in public ... this time at a star-studded Jay-Z event!

TMZ Sports has learned Klay, 35, and Meg, 30, plan to hit up Hov and billionaire Michael Rubin's REFORM Alliance Casino Gala at the Ocean Casino Resort in Atlantic City on Saturday, one of their few public cameos together.

Of course, the future Hall of Famer first got people talking about him and Meg on July 12 ... when he posted a pic kissing a woman whose back was to the camera. Fans speculated it was the rapper.

The MTV VMAs may have been a blast ... but the real fun started after, with stars hitting the biggest hotspots in NYC.

Check out the pics ... there were a handful of post-VMA bashes Sunday night, drawing all types of celebs dressed to impress.

Mariah Carey came ready to party in an all black outfit with a fresh pair of shades ... while Cardi B brought the energy in a cheetah-print outfit.

Cardi B is back on the party scene after being cleared in the assault case she described as annoying, and once again, she was the center of attention at a huge US Open after party!

The megastar rapper is just several days away from releasing her long-awaited 2nd album, "Am I the Drama?" ... and she tantalized the crowd at the Raising Cane's event in a sleek black dress, complete with a sultry thigh-high slit.

The crowd had plenty of famous faces soaking up Cardi's performance ... Kevin Hart, U.S. Open champ Carlos Alcaraz, Jamie Foxx and Lenny Kravitz were all in the building.

Young Thug says he doesn't trust people putting on a facade ... especially men who come out as gay after they've already struck up a friendship.

The rapper made the controversial comments on the "Perspektives with Bank" podcast ... equating informing the cops about someone with coming out as gay after first claiming to be straight.

It's a convoluted argument ... but, essentially, Thug says if you present yourself one way -- a straight man in this case -- and later come out, then he's not rocking with you anymore.

We know some celebs can seem all high and mighty, especially when they're having a night on the town ... but we wanna see if you can guess who this real cool guy is!

We caught this rapper when he was leaving a restaurant with some friends, and he ended up running into an amateur comedian on the street while waiting for his ride -- turns out the guy loves a good joke!

The NFL is back ... and the wives and girlfriends (and one VERY famous fiancée) are all ready to catch their men in action!!

The 2025 season brings big names like Ciara, Cardi B and Normani -- CiCi is happily married to Giants quarterback Russell Wilson, the rapper is seeing Patriots receiver Stefon Diggs and the Fifth Harmony member is engaged to Steelers pass catcher DK Metcalf.

Taylor Swift will see much more TV time this season (sorry, haters) -- she got engaged to Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce last month.
