With the NBA playoffs heating up and only seven teams left in the running to compete in the finals, the competition is getting tough.
This past Sunday, the defending NBA Champion L.A. Lakers were ousted from the playoffs, and like so many other b-ball enthusiasts, Snoop Dogg figured Kobe Bryant and company would win it all.
This is what the Doggfather had to say when MTV News caught up with him in February during All-Star Weekend in Los Angeles: "The Lakers, we don't look as good as we usually look around this time. But, to me, that's perfect. We want to be under the radar. We want other people to get talked about. We...

Last night, the America's Most Wanted tour kicked off in Scranton, Pennsylvania with blistering sets from Lil Wayne, Young Jeezy, Drake and the artist celebrating a birthday today: Soulja Boy. The man known on his tax returns as DeAndre Ramone Way was born today in 1990, making one of the most buzzed-about MCs in the game a mere 19 years old. Soulja exploded onto the scene back in 2007 when his hit "Crank That" (and the dance associated with said song) went from an underground hit to a chart-topping smash and ended up netting him a Grammy nomination.
Though "Crank That" had the DNA of a novelty hit, Soulja Boy managed to defy the odds with his follow-up album iSoulJaBoyTellEm, which he dropped late last year and made way for the hits "Turn My Swag On" and "Kiss Me Thru the Phone." In addition to his work as a rapper, he's also shown...
