The 90 Greatest Albums of the ’90s
This article originally appeared in the September 1999 issue of SPIN. “You must be high.” We heard that a lot during the time we spent preparing this issue. Which is understandable. Pronouncing the 90 greatest albums of the ’90s is a somewhat presumptuous thing to do. When you’re measuring the music this decade is offering to history—the sounds we partied with, copulated to, fought about, and wept over—everyone has an opinion. That ours should be more valid than yours is debatable. But hey—it’s our magazine. What, then, you ask, constitutes “greatest”? Don’t even start. Suffice it to say that, after much heated discussion and countless veiled insults, it came down to the factors of both remarkable artistry and cultural shock value. Sometimes a record’s knock-you-off-your-Skechers impa...

HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Bernard Smalls / @PhotosByBeanz83 A Texas high school principal is now sorry after a headass comment about Black students in his school. Per the Raw Report, Principal Anthony LiVechhi has apologized to Black students for comparing them to “Dr. Dre from the ’90s” and adding they “looked like criminals.” A local NBC News affiliate obtained a video of LiVechhi being BIG MAD about how Black students dressed for “90s Throwback Day” at Oak Ridge High School located in the Houston suburb of Conroe. “It’s embarrassing.

It doesn’t make our school look good,” LiVechhi is heard saying in the video. The principal’s comments ca...
Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Eminem, Mary J. Blige, & Kendrick Lamar Headlining 2022 Pepsi Super Bowl Halftime Show
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: NFL / Pepsi/Roc Nation The Pepsi Super Bowl Halftime Show is typically a huge event for television viewers, and next year’s lineup will feature some of the biggest names in Hip-Hop culture. The 2020 show will be headlined by Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Eminem, Mary J. Blige, and Kendrick Lamar. The aforementioned performers hardly need any introduction, most especially Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, and Eminem, all among the top-selling acts within the drama. The show is also something of a full circle moment for Slim Shady as he’s reunited with his Aftermath boss on the big stage after signing with the good doctor back in 1998. Of course, the Doggfather has a number of classics with the Compton OG and fans can expect them to run through their 1990s smash hits. Related St...
Dr. Dre, Kendrick Lamar, Eminem, Mary J. Blige and Snoop Dogg to Perform at This Year’s Super Bowl Halftime Show
After basically ignoring the Atlanta music scene when the Big Game was there a few years ago, the NFL decided to not make the same mistake twice. For this year’s game at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles, the NFL is giving the Super Bowl Halftime show a distinctly Los Angeles feel, as Compton natives Dr. Dre and Kendrick Lamar will be joined by Eminem, Mary J. Blige and Long Beach’s own Snoop Dogg. This will be Dr. Dre’s first live performance since headlining Coachella with Snoop Dogg in 2012 (the one with 2Pac’s hologram). “The opportunity to perform at the Super Bowl Halftime show, and to do it in my own backyard, will be one of the biggest thrills of my career,” Dr. Dre said in a statement. “I’m grateful to Jay-Z, Roc Nation, the NFL, and Pepsi as well as Snoop Dogg, Eminem, Mary J. Blige an...
Dr. Dre Ordered To Pay His Ex-Wife $1.5 Million in Legal Fees
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Bernard Smalls / @PhotosByBeanz The hits keep on coming for Dr. Dre, but not in the way that he’s used to that would lead to platinum plaques. After being ordered to pay his ex-wife $300K a month in spousal support until she remarries (never gonna happen), Page Six is reporting that he nows has to reimburse her for her lawyer fees at the tune of $1.5 million. After already forking over a cool $2 million to his ex-wife, Nicole Young, a judge ordered the good doctor to pay an additional $1.55 million in legal fees and costs. “The judge estimated that Nicole’s reasonable legal fees in the case so far should total $3 million, plus costs. Dre will now have to pay $1 million towards the balance of her fees, plus another $550,000 in costs associated with the cas...

HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Bernard Smalls / @PhotosByBeanz Dr. Dre’s once-dormant official Twitter account says that “Dr. Dre doesn’t Tweet” but apparently he hands out Ls. The good Doc lit up the Internet with his first tweet in two years when his account commented underneath a post by a Twitter user named @bowyoade about British singer-songwriter VV Brown‘s feature in the Metro UK. He replied with a lonely “L”. But why? The Internet started sleuthing. What is the significance of the L? Does it mean she lost? Is the L the Roman numeral 50? Is she an ex? Maybe he forgot to log out of his burner account like Kevin Durant famously once did? Dr. Dre’s previous tweet was from 2019 when he posted a photo of him and Kanye West with a caption teasing that Kanye’s “Jesus Is ...
