Beverley Tate, the mother of rap legend Snoop Dogg, has passed away at the age of 70, news that Snoop shared with his fans via several posts on social media honoring Tate. Snoop, who was nicknamed after the iconic Peanuts character by his mother as a youth, thanked God for the role Tate played in his life, referring to her as “an angel.” He also thanked his late mother for giving him life in an additional post.

16-year-old Julien Rodriguez had the perfect vantage point to witness the funeral procession leaving the Paradise Theater in the Bronx on Tuesday for slain officer Miosotis Familia.

Rodriguez did what any angsty teen wanting to send a message could do in a situation like this: He fired up his sound system, selected NWA’s “F**k tha Police” and put that track on repeat until the wheels fell off.
