What you see is what you get fits Game perfectly. There's no faking anything in his life and he openly admits it. "It might be stubborn, but I do me and live by my own ledger," he asserts. "I think that's what made me who I am, man."

Dying his hair red a day before shooting his "Red Nation" video with Weezy produced by Cool & Dre, the first single from of his forthcoming R.E.D. album dropping in August, Game doesn't give a "f*ck" if the people are going to like it or not.

Being different comes with its pros and cons, and Pittsburgh rapper Wiz Khalifa admits that he’s a tad different from the norm. “I’m pretty unique,” he says, as the bright Los Angeles, California sun reflects his surroundings through the lenses of his sunglasses. To add to his individuality, a few days before the DUB shoot, he incorporated a yellow streak in the front left portion of his hair. After his 20th tattoo, he stopped counting. 

For Bryan "Birdman aka Baby" Williams, life's a beach and he's just playing in the sand. The New Orleans bred, but now Miami-loving mogul is a staple in the rap game, running sh*t with his YMCMB (Young Money Cash Money Business) label that boasts next-gen hip-hop heavyweights like Drake, Nicki Minaj and Lil Wayne.

It’s been a hot minute since T-Pain was on the cover of DUB , but his unique sound and mold-breaking music is still a hot commodity. In fact, a lot has changed for the R&B/hip-hop sensation in the last couple of years, including his most striking ride, the 1972 Chevy Impala ragtop, which was featured in the September 2007 issue of DUB Magazine.

If you’re going to unveil anything at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit, you better make the car’s design stand out from all the other debuts hitting the Cobo Hall floor to get some buzz...which is exactly what the 2011 DUB Edition Ford 5.0 Mustang GT did!

Place both a sleek, modern new car and a custom old school in front of Snoop, and hands down, he’ll pick the old school. But you can’t be mad at the Doggfather for passing up on a new ride. “That’s my nature; that’s me,” he says about his preference. “I’m a ’70s baby, and I’m inspired by my generation ’cause when I was a kid that’s all I saw and it stayed in my mind—that’s what I get down with. These new sh*t don’t move me ’cause they ain’t gonna be here long since it changes all the time. Old stuff gets stuck and you can’t change it.”

Miami’s big boss is more than living up to his title. With a larger than life attitude, Rick Ross has taken the music industry by storm in 2009 by dropping two highly successful albums, as well as starting his own record label, Maybach Music, which he hopes to grow into one of rap’s most prolific labels.

At 46, Tommy Lee isn’t showing signs of slowing down. The legendary drummer is ravishing in his midlife success as much as he enjoyed the early years of his career when Mötley Crüe first started. “I pinch myself almost daily. All this sh*t started happening when I was 17 and to sit here at 46 and still be rocking the sh*t out is, like, Wow! It’s amazing and I can’t believe it’s still happening!”

Sitting at a keyboard in a dimly lit recording studio in Garden Grove, CA, Sleepy Brown (Patrick Brown) tries to finish laying down a track before getting into his interview. As a producer, first and foremost, he wants to let his creative juices flow before he forgets what musical sound he’s aiming for, as he works on tracks for his upcoming compilation album. When he’s finally happy with what he’s recorded, his attention turns to the interview, but you can tell his thoughts are back on his music.

Dance music is making a come back. Artists, DJs and producers are upping the BPMs (beats per minute) to their tracks, creating a global dance phenomenon geared toward packing dance floors. “If you had to pick one genre that’s migrating at the highest frequency, it would be the dance world,” Black Eyed Peas’ Will.i.am said in a recent Billboard interview.” That’s where music as a culture really lives.” Check out some of dance music’s biggest movers and shakers, and why they think dance-oriented tracks are the future of the industry.
