"Da Game Is to Be Sold, Not to Be Told" is the 3rd studio album by #longbeachcalifornia rapper #SnoopDogg (his first without Doggy in the middle of his name).
Producer = #MasterP (exec.) #BeatsbythePound #DJPooh Meech Wells, Snoop Dogg, Keith Clizark, #Soopafly
It was released on August 4, 1998, by #NoLimitRecords and Priority Records. It is his first album following his departure from #DeathRowRecords in January 1998.
It is the first Snoop Dogg album to have notable affiliates such as #DrDre, #NateDogg, #WarrenG and others absent. It was also his first album to be released under a slight change to his stage name "Snoop Dogg" for contractual reasons.

When Tupac died in 1996, it shook a lot of people, but for Treach, it broke something deep inside. This wasn’t just a friend or collaborator. Pac was like family.

They came up together from the very bottom, just two kids grinding in the shadows. Treach was rolling with Queen Latifah’s camp, Pac with Digital Underground. Before the stages and cameras, they were carrying bags and setting up shows. Treach would always say, “Pac had that fire even then, you knew he was gonna be a star.”

So when Pac was murdered in Vegas, Treach didn’t head to the studio right away. He sat in silence, looked at old photos, played Pac’s verses over and over. He didn’t want to make a “song” he wanted to write a letter. Something that would speak to Pac’s spirit. That’s how “Mourn You Til I Join You” was born.

This wasn’t about charts or radio plays. It was Treach pouring every memory and every ounce of pain into a mic. He didn’t hold back, he rapped about the wild nights, the prison letters, the phone calls full of laughter and rage. He talked about seeing Pac laid out in a casket, and the gut-punch of losing someone who was supposed to be untouchable.

“Even all the prayers can't bring you back to us / I’ll mourn you til I join you ‘cause I’ll keep in touch.”

That wasn’t just a hook. That was a promise.

Every June 16th, Treach still celebrates Pac’s birthday. He plays his music loud, tells stories, laughs, and sometimes tears up. That’s the kind of bond they had—ride or die in life, and still loyal in death.

So when you listen to “Mourn You Til I Join You,” you're not hearing a rapper rap. You're hearing a man speak to his brother. One last message across the divide. And for Treach, it’ll never be the last.

Trinidad and Tobago remove a statue of Christopher Columbus

According to Port-of-Spain Corporation the statue was removed on August 6th 2025.

This follows extensive discussions and technical assessment.

The process commenced at approximately 10pm in Independence Square in the capital city.

Special shout out to the Rastaman (pictured) who had the task of taking down the Columbus statue. ✊🏾

The statue will now be placed in National Museum and Art Gallery.

The controversial statue has had red paint thrown over it, had its hands removed and even had a bag placed over its head - as a growing number of citizens in the twin-island nation believe Columbus should not be glorified.

Earlier this year, Trinidad and Tobago also removed three Columbus ships from its Coat of Arms and replaced them with an image of the iconic Steelpan - an instrument invented in Trinidad and Tobago. ✊🏾
