Video: Dr. Dre & Snoop Dogg Live At Coachella 2012 (Full Set)

Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg closed out the first weekend of Coachella 2012 with a legendary performance. The West coast legends also brought out some special guests including Eminem, 50 Cent, Kurupt, Warren G, Wiz Khalifa, Kendrick Lamar and Tupac. Yep, Tupac. The good Doc brought Pac back to life on stage with an incredibly chilling lifelike hologram of the deceased rapper. There was a rumor going around that the hologram was going to be of Nate Dogg. Either way, one West coast great was brought back from the dead even if it was for a few songs.

Watch the intro above and the rest of the performance after the jump. Seems like the West ruled Coachella this year.

Video: Childish Gambino (@DonaldGlover) Brings out Kendrick Lamar (@kendricklamar) & Danny Brown (@XDannyXBrownX) @ Coachella 2012

I’ve come to the conclusion that writing shit here is pointless for most videos. They’re self explanatory and you guys don’t give a shit what’s written here.

Audio: Kendrick Lamar (@kendricklamar) ft. Dr. Dre (@drdre) – The Recipe (Prod. by @SCOOPDEVILLE)

Here we have it. Kendrick Lamar and Dr. Dre on the same track for the first time. In Kendrick’s latest track, he raps back and forth with the Doc on a topic they know all too well, LA living. “Women, weed and weather” sure make one hell of a recipe.

Produced by Scoop DeVille.

Update: Check out Kendrick and Dre’s interview with Big Boy’s Neighborhood on Power 106 before the track premiered. Fun fact: “The Recipe” was orignally titled “Women, Weed and Weather.” I think I like “The Recipe” better. [HHNM]

Video: Kendrick Lamar (@kendricklamar) On ‘Last Call With Carson Daly (@carsonjdaly)’

While at SXSW, Carson Daly had the chance to interview and meet Kendrick Lamar for the first time. Who knew Carson was such a big fan. His questions were detailed and informative and he hasn’t aged one bit.

Video: Kendrick Lamar – Hol’ Up (LIve At SXSW)

Yeah I know you’re tired of watching SXSW footage and I’m tired of posting them, although there might be a few more that are worth the post. Anywho, the good people at Gowhere Hip Hop grabbed footage from Kendrick‘s performances at both The Vibe House and the Fader Fort and put them together to form one performance video of his Section.80 cut “Hol’ Up.” Watch the footage flip from black-and-white to close ups to crowd shots. Clean footage.

Video: Game ft. Kendrick Lamar – The City (More BTS)

Game‘s dropping a mixtape, California Republic, before he drops his album, F.I.V.E.: Fear Is Victory’s Evolution. According to Billboard, you can expect Game’s mixtape “to do what it always does, which is consist of a lot of good music and be a lot better than most artist’s album.” While you wait for either project to drop, check out more behind-the-scenes footage of “The City” above.
