Exclusive! Kurupt: I'm Proud to Be a Part of Dr. Dre's Legacy (@kurupt_gotti)

VladTV caught up with West Coast legend Kurupt and briefly chopped it up about Kevin Hart, his big bro Dr. Dre, and his take on Bieber's current situation.

Kurupt gave major props to Kevin Hart, saying he's watched the Philadelphia funnyman for years and is proud of his growth both comedically and success wise.

When asked about Dr. Dre's billion-dollar deal, Kurupt says he's been around Dre since 1993, and watched him grow as a business man. In his eyes, the moves Dre is making are epic and he's very proud to have been around the "good doctor" for so many years and to have learned so much from Mr. Young.

When it comes to Bieber, Kurupt says he doesn't blame the pop star for things he said years ago because he was a kid, and we all should just forgive and forget.

Questlove Admits to Being 'Out of His Mind' at 2014 Essence Music Festival

People say that the most magnificent geniuses are completely insane. The adage may be true as Questlove revealed that he definitely feels as if he has a screw loose while performing.

On Saturday evening (July 5) at the 2014 Essence Music Festival, the Philadelphia native said, “I’m literally out of my mind when I’m onstage because I’m also the coach so you’ll see me talk into the mic onstage without hearing what I’m saying.”

“I’m busy directing traffic,” he tells The Boombox. “I’m telling ‘this’ person like, ‘Yo, you missed a dance step,’ or ‘That’s not the right note!’ I’m literally not in my usual mental element when I’m onstage.”

There’s obviously a method to the madness. This nagging need to win has afforded the drummer, along with all other members of the Roots, the luxuries of what happens when you work hard and often. Back in February, the band was plucked for a regular gig on Jimmy Fallon’s late-night show and they still hold down major shows.

Quest says that it’s a matter of playing multiple roles. ”I gotta play drums and play chess and figure out what’s happening three songs from now. Call audibles when we have 12 minutes left to do another song.”

He admits that this year’s Essence Music Festival had the whole Roots crew a little more shaken than usual. “We’ve been doing shows professional for 20 years,” he explained. “And I don’t think I’ve ever been more nervous or concerned about the outcome of any show we’ve ever done besides this one that we just did.”

“You can count the amount of rehearsing that the Roots have done on one hand in our 20-year career but for this show? Every nook and cranny… So yeah, we’re satisfied with how this one worked out.”

The Roots brought Nelly and Common out during their set on Saturday night to a packed house at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans. Now that the work is done, there’s one show that Quest can’t wait to attend back home on the East Coast.

“I saw the Jacksons recently while they were doing a week in Atlantic City,” the musician shared. “I know a lot of people are crazy skeptical, like, ‘How can a Michael-less Jackson show be a success? But I’m going to fly home to see them a second time because it was a really engaging show.”

“You could tell that they put a lot of thought into it. I can’t usually just enjoy shows because I have to analyze and dissect them.”

French Montana Expands the Coke Boys by Signing Velous

The Coke Boys get a new member. French Montana is actively expanding his roster, which already includes rappers Lil Durk and Chinx Drugz. Velous, a singer who also produces and raps, is the newest addition to the team.

“I love his style. He sings. He raps. He’s everything in one,” French shares with the Village Voice. “He came to the studio and played me like 1000 songs.”

Velous, who is currently promoting his track ‘Ginuwine Article,‘ is not only working on his own project, ‘Velocity,’ and French’s ‘Mac & Cheese 4,’ but he’s given “like two beats” to Kanye West.

The Kingston, N.Y., native has also been rubbing elbows with French’s friends, the Kardashians. “It just felt like a really good place to have a family. It felt like a good place to have a foundation,” Velous says. “I definitely want to work with everyone on the roster. I want to see everybody at the top, all of us working together. French is already killing. He’s one of the hardest workers in the industry. That work ethic inspires me.”

He’s already put in work with the likes of A$AP Ferg, Jeremih and Tyga for DJ SpinKing’s new song ‘Adult Swim.’ Velous collaborated with fellow producer Vinylz on the effort.
