Let's go Hazardous sounds Let's do this Woo woo woo Hang hang sangria Hope you're savvy This is your boy N.O.R.E What up it's DJ E.F.N

And this is motherfucking Drink Chance Podcast Make some noise And right now We got the West Coast on. Motherfucker who took Defro. He's a super legend. On his fucking back and rolled it.

Then when y'all niggas try to front, he went to New Orleans. That's right. And got motherfucking po' boy sandwiches and went platinum on you motherfuckers. And then he went back to the West Coast and showed y'all niggas who's real king of the motherfucking West Coast. And right now we're talking about the legendary, the honorable. The dude who steps up for black people. And black people's rights and gangsters and gangsters

affiliated life. Right now we're talking about the legendary the honorable Snoop Dogg make some noise! Hey, here's a toast to the boogie boy. Yes, yes, yes. So Snoop, I'm going to start off by saying you know, I've seen this march that you guys recently just did. It was UN game.

And the reason why it was so acceptable and so relatable to me is because both of you in game are both a part of the same culture that I'm a part of. And then, but in y'all hood, it's a separation that divides y'all. But y'all came together. Yes. So I want you to break that down for us because, you know. Well, you know, a lot of times we brainwash not to know because, you know, it's a blueprint that's, you know, printed before we've been able to read, walk, or talk. So it's up to us to break the chains and to put a new, you know, blueprint, a new protocol and effect. And that's what happened. You know, many years ago, me and Gang forged a relationship when he was just a young homie and, you know, always trying to guide him

and lead him and direct him and give him information on life. Right. Because I didn't ever want to see him go down the wrong path that I went down as a youngster because I didn't have nobody giving me no advice so I was always giving him advice and you know what one day we just said you know what we fed up with all of this you know police brutality and all the shit that's going on we was really fucking fed up to where we really wanted to do something so when he called me I was ready for him to tell me let's go fuck up some shit. But, you know, he hit me with some, you know, dog.

It was his idea? His idea was he called me and he was distraught. I really wasn't even paying attention to the news and shit, because it was niggas getting killed every day. It was like, okay, whatever. But then it would hit him so hard in the heart that when he called me, he was like, dog, I'm lost.

I don't know what to do. I always come to you. I want to fuck up some shit. I'm like, nigga, I do too. Then I was like, damn, I I don't know what to do I always come to you I want to fuck up some shit I'm like nigga I do too then I was like damn I can't leave him like that I never let him down the dark alley I always gave him a light so I was like look call me back when you figure out what you want to do put a plan together get some protocol and some structure and whatever you want to do hit me up he hit me about two three in the morning was like nigga we gonna meet up downtown LA at five in the morning and let's just figure it out when we get there When we got there, I came there In my gang attire, ready to go to war

Yes, you was And once we got there Then he figured out what he wanted to do Then he laid the plan down And ran down the speech And said, we want to go to the police department And reintroduce ourselves And let them introduce themselves to us

And build some sort of dialogue. And the mayor's department was a part of that from the beginning? No, no. Let me tell you how the spirit worked. Game figured out what we was going to do when we got there in the morning. His spirit was,

this is what we're going to do. We're not going to go down there. We're not going to masher them. We're going to talk to them and build a relationship. So as we're walking down there, the police escorting us because we built a relationship with them before we even started.

They escorting us to the, you know, headquarters. When we get there, we don't even know, but it's a graduation for all of the new recruits that's about to hit the streets. Yeah, I've heard about that. Which was, you guys didn't even know that was going down. It's amazing that these are the new guys that are about to hit the streets, and they need to get an understanding with us who are on the streets. Not just me physically, but the people who actually live in these communities that you're going to be pulling over and talking to. So build a bond with them. And it was just beautiful that that happened.

And then the mayor and the chief of police was there. And when they heard me and game came in peace, they was like, you know what? We want them to come talk to us behind closed doors. And they let us come behind closed doors. And we vented and we conversed and we set up a date and a time to reestablish a relationship. And we followed up and they did some more things two or three days ago.

So it's building that dialogue between the community, the leaders, and the police and the mayor. And that's what needs to be happening. You know what I'm saying? Because in your opinion, in your opinion, right, is that what you feel like it should be happening is the communication because when I grew up right Snoop I grew up

and the nigga that was patrolling the hood was also the nigga that was fucking Tamara you know what I'm saying like but now the nigga that's patrolling the hood come from you know Buck Creek you know whatever he not from around so he automatically nervous.

He don't understand our dialogue. He don't understand our communication. Right. Like, I grew up with police. Not saying that I worked with them, but we had somebody from the hood who always had an understanding with them to where they wouldn't just come in there and just bogart and just beat dogs to us. If they wanted somebody, the homies would be like, look, we ain't going to help you

get him, but we damn sure not gonna, you know, do nothing to prevent you from getting him. And at the same time, it's like, now if you don't have no communication, the police are scared when they pull up, they automatically just draw him down when it should be. Let's get an understanding. This man's trying to go home, whoever he is. He may have a family

just like you, so let's communicate with him first and find out what he's going through. Because you don't have to always have a, you negative approach because you never know this man may be going through the same shit you going through now is this something you guys are going to do ongoing or is it just the one time it was it was the spur of the moment for me you know because like i said i was ready to do something bad but the spirit told me to do something right and through that we build a relationship with the police department so now there's dialogue going on in LA and that's

half the battle because before another shooting happens in LA we'll have some sort of communication with the chief, with the mayor so it's like look even if we do get like some of the homies that was there now they can say that look I got the mayor's number I got the chief's number so hold on before you bust on me. And it's like

just that small second is all it takes to take somebody's life or to save somebody's life. And just the images alone from that meeting was crazy. Let's pick that up right now. Let's make some noise for the goddamn images. And I also want to

shout out Best Buy Liquors. They provide their liquor right now. Snoop Dogg is drinking some rosé. He ain't drinking rosé. He's drinking it out of Drink Champ's cup. You know, Best Buy motherfucking liquors, man provide their liquor right now. Snoop Dogg is drinking some rosé. He ain't drink rosé. He drinking it out of Drink Champ's cup. You know, Best Buy motherfucking liquors, man. You know what I'm saying? They got about four locations

in Miami. You know what I mean? Kendal. Two in Kendal. You know what I'm saying? I don't know how to pronounce that. Naranja. Naranja.

And then Florida City, man. Go check out my people at Best Buy Liquor. Yo, Snoop, man. So, listen, man. Mary Jane. Let's talk about that right now. You know what I mean? Because we did talk about, you know, man. So, listen, man. Mary Jane. Let's talk about that right now. You know what I mean?

Because we did talk about, you know, that's positive. So let's make some noise for Snoop being positive. All gangbangers. All gangbangers. When they get old, they go positive. Yeah, yeah, yeah. They say the last level of hustling is preaching. You know what I'm saying?

I like that. But Mary Jane, I'm a weed connoisseur. I bring all my weed guys to come over here and make sure they treat you like a guinea pig. Listen, listen, listen. I got some shit from California that'll blow everything's head off in here. You never smoke nobody. Do you remember when we was in the hotel room? I was doing a What What documentary. We came up there, and this nigga smoked.

Yo, my OG homies was like, yo, you let Snoop smoke the shit out of y'all niggas. Like, yo, we quit. We was like, yo, we don't want to smoke no more. And Snoop, you remember that? We was in the hotel. Come on, nigga. I'm still the same nigga. Yo, my nigga smoked us out, man. All my OG

niggas, they wouldn't talk to me no more when I went back to the same. Yo, my nigga, my nigga, nigga smoked us out, man. All my OG niggas, they wouldn't talk to me no more when I went back to the home. Oh, my. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I never satisfied customers. So we seen the Reincarnation movie.

Yes, sir. And you also went out there with your own weed as well. Yeah. Is that something that Snoop has to do is bring your own weed? You know what?

Certain parts of the world don't have my flavor and I got to have it. It's like, you know, you can't eat. You can't eat what they eat if you ain't used to flavor, and I got to have it. It's like, you know, you can't eat. You can't eat what they eat if you ain't used to eating what they eat. Right, right. It's like somebody who got a role with his own chef or got a role with his own personal trainer.

That makes sense. That's like my chef and my personal trainer all in one, the Gangsta Gumball. Mmm. Goddamn, let's make some noise for that. Goddamn it. Goddamn it. So was Miami Crippie ever any good for anybody? Wait, I don't know.

Miami good. Crippie, Crippie. No, Miami got good, good. I ain't even going to go front. Maybe like four years ago, Miami started stepping their game up when a lot of players started migrating out here. And you know, when you migrate out here, it's a certain thing that you're used to, that you're accustomed to,

so you got to have it your special way. So Miami started getting it, it started getting it. And then when you start seeing those big rappers out here and those NBA players, you know what comes with that. It's good money and good weight. And then the bad bitches coming in, you know, there it is there. Your town is hot. Let me pick up Mr. Lee's Star Rock clothing.

You know, my people's right there. But Snoop, let's break down this Mary Jane thing. Let's break it down. Because I've been, you know, first off, you mom, like at the end of the day, I am the second uncle in hip hop. Yes, you are. I might be the third. I think it might be Uncle Luke, Uncle Snoop, and then Uncle Luke.

You're right. You got to give it up to Uncle Luke. And then Uncle Luke. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We got to give it to Luke. Yeah, we got to give it to Luke. I told Uncle Murda, you the little uncle. All right.

But that's my nigga. You climbing, Murda. That's my nigga. You climbing. Murda, you the little uncle. All right? But that's my nigga. You climbing, Murda. That's my nigga. You climbing. Murda, you climbing, girl. But first, it's Uncle Luke, Uncle Snoop. Yeah. And so now, so I always followed your career.

Me and you, you know, contrary to popular belief, when you know the LA, LA, and the New York, New York, me and you has always been rock solid. Yeah, peers. You always been a great guy, but I've always admired your entrepreneurial, I don't know if that's a word.

Entrepreneurial. Entrepreneurial. That's what I was going for. You got it, you got it. Entrepreneurial mogul skills. And I also just impeached you with the mogul, with the compound out in L.A. We're going to be in L.A. on August 27th,

Big Up K Day. Come see me. Yeah, yeah. Now, you on tour. That's why we're here right now. We checked. We tried to get you in L.A. But this Mary Jane thing. Now, for a tour. That's why we're here right now. We tried to get you in L.A. But this Mary Jane thing.

Now, for a dude like me who is not as smart, I can't Google. But Mary Jane works for me because I'm bozo. I'm a bozo. But Mary Jane, it shows you where the dispensary is. Oh, this is an app. No, this is bigger than an app. Explain that. I want you to explain that to the people. Well, MaryJane.com is an is bigger than a half. Like, this is, explain that. I want you to explain

that to the people. Well, MaryJane.com is an encyclopedia of cannabis. It's basically giving you everything you want to know about it, the intro to the endo.

Information, blogs, you know, television series, dispensaries, locations, strands. The Wikipedia. What it does for you,

the style of it, the best shop, the best pop, the best hop. I mean, it's information for you, the style of it, the best shop, the best pop, the best hop. I mean, it's information. It's the information hotline. Like I said,

it's the encyclopedia because it covers every aspect of cannabis and it's given to you by yours truly so you know it's the truth. Let's make some noise for that guy.

Let's start with my top. MaryJane.com Yeah, Mary, M-E-R-R-Y, you know, not Mary, but Mary. I'm talking about because we're very merry. Is it an app as well?

Is it also an app? It's an application. It's a website. It's the everything. It's all of the above. Because he only does heroin. He doesn't smoke weed. Oh, man. Lean over there. Lean back. So, let me just break it down for you So now

The Mary Jane app You go on there And it shows you Where you Like you put in a zip code I believe right Something like that Like you put in like

Where you at And then it shows you What And if it You know I don't want to show I don't want to say If you in an illegal state

But it doesn't matter They take care of you Wherever you at They take care of you Wherever you're at. They take care of you wherever you're at. Because I see Big Uncle, I said, damn. I said, god damn it. Jesus Louise, Papa Cheese. Let me figure it out. How the fuck

do I be a part of this? And this is something crazy because it's Google for weed. That's the better way. Because you don't smoke. So I got to break it down for you like that. It's Google for weed. Like, you know how you want to Google who got the best taco? It's pretty much the same thing.

It's like Yelp for weed. Or more. And more. Hey, hey. It's better, yeah. I would say Google because it covers a broad stretch. It's everything. It is more Google.

So also now, you on. I got to meet this guy. I never met Wiz Khalifa. This is my guy. We spoke, we spoke, we kicked it, but I've never spoke because he has one of the worst internet scenes I've ever seen in life. He kicked somebody out with a blunt. Did you ever see that footage?

No, I didn't see that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, he was in a studio session. I'm looking because I'm a fan of Wiz Khalifa. I'm looking and he stops the whole studio session and listening session. He stops it all and says, yo, you, you got to walk out. So I said, this nigga got to have a cigarette or something.

And this nigga had a blunt. I said, oh my God! I said, you're weird. I got to talk to you. Listen, so what do you think about the joints versus the blunts? Well, I'm one of the originators of the joint movement. That's what Currency said on this show. That's what Currency said.

Keep your motherfucking blunt in your pocket low. Because Doggy Dog is all about the zigzag smoke. That's what Currency said. That's what Currency said. Let's make some noise for Snoop Dogg. What is it? I know my shit, you know what I'm saying? But at the same time, it's like,

when I was introduced to the blunt, first person to ever introduce me to a blunt was Bushwick Bill. When he was working on the Chronic album.

My nigga, the midget. Let's make some noise for him. God damn it. That nigga is intelligent as a motherfucker. He's got a stack of knowledge. And he roll up the blunt.

Yeah, so he get us high with the blunt. I'm like, okay, that's cool. The next time was at the Poetic Justice rap party. Tupac rolled up a blunt.

From them two niggas smoking blunts with me, then I began saying, man, I like the way that tastes. So then I started trying to roll a blunt. And then from there, it became overwhelming because the zigzag, when I smoked the zigzag, I would get high fast as fuck. But when I would smoke a blunt, it was like slowly but surely, it became my cup of tea.

I don't know why. You know what I'm saying? It's like from beer to hard liquor to whatever. Whatever your cup of tea is, when you find what your shit is, you roll with it. So we bought some Bombay. Are we out of line? Mm-mm.

Because we been listening to your old shit? Are you telling us we been listening to your old shit? it. So we bought some Bombay. Are we out of line? Mm-mm. Because we've been listening to your old shit? Are you telling us we've been listening to your old shit? Just tell us we old niggas. We just don't have the juice. Snoop, you can tell us. You can tell us.

You can say, yo. Bombay real quick. Uh-huh, okay. We was on tour, right? This one, the nigga was a young nigga. So we only was fucking with Cigar Gin or Tangerway. Nigga, we walked up in the store, nigga,

and we seen some blue gin. Nigga was like, cut, they got some crib gin, cuz. So we bought this shit and started drinking it. I think it's like 99 proof or 100 proof. How many proof is it? I don't know. It's fucked up proof.

How many proof? Fucked up proof. Say what it is. 47. 47%. Hell no. Oh, no. 94 proof.

You got the one. Knock it off. Knock it off. Knock it off. That thing was 94 proof. And once we seen that, we was like, nigga, 94, we take this to the head. We didn't mix it with no juice. It definitely hits 94 proof. We was straight drinking crib juice.

So that's not gin and juice? No, that's Bombay. That's crib juice, nigga. We was drinking that straight. That's true. Now that you say that, right? You say crib juice, right? Now, I'm going to be honest.

My first time being to L.A., I color-coded everywhere I walked. Meaning, if I was on La Cienega, I dressed according to La Cienega. If I was on, you know, Roscoe's Peacoat, and I forget, what was the other thing? Peacoat in Fairfax. Okay, yeah. If I was on there, I'd dress cold. The only time I never dressed cold is when I went to Long Beach. Because you already knew.

Because it was a full city of crips. Crips, real. And y'all niggas real whatever the fuck y'all want to wear. Let's make some noise for Long Beach. Let me tell you how I met, this is how I meet Nas. I'm on the corner, right? I'm in Gardena

with my homeboy from Shotgun. Now when you say Gardena, you talking about Long Beach? No, Gardena's a city outside of Long Beach where they got gangs over there too.

Okay, I seen the hotel on there for $113. Exactly. It must be a bad neighborhood. No, it's bad. Yeah, bad neighborhood. When I seen a there for $113. Exactly. It must be a bad neighborhood. No, it's bad. It's bad. When I've seen a hotel for $113, I'm not staying there. It's bad.

Continue. And it's like early 90s, too. It's like 93, 94. So I'm out there, you know what I'm saying, hanging with my homeboys from Shotgun. Shotgun Korea? Yeah, it's a long street that we on. We all stand out there like seven, eight deep. So a white van pull up,

cuz, and a white van, 15 passenger van, and the nigga jump out with an all red sweatsuit with one leg of his sweatpants lifted all the way up with some boots on.

And he running across the street where I'm at. And if you don't pay attention, it look like a nigga finna just come do a drive-by. But he really just coming running to say what's up. So my n look like a nigga finna just come to a drive-by, but he really just coming Ready to say what's up. So my niggas is like finna get they thing.

And we just listened to your hits. And we didn't care. Because you know what? You know, I hate when people call you a West Coast legend. Because you're bigger than that. You're just 100% of, I don't even know if this is a word, a superiority legend. Make it up. Make it up.

Yo, listen. And, and, you know what? Yo, let me tell you something. I said this on the podcast. I don't know if I said this on the podcast, but I said, Puff has, I have never seen Puff not once hate. Like, I seen him do fucked up shit, but I didn't see him hate. And Snoop, you are the only other person in this universe that I have never, ever, ever once seen have a hating bone in your body. Let's make some noise for that guy. The American West with Dan Flores is the latest show from the Meat Eater Podcast Network,

hosted by me, writer and historian Dan Flores, and brought to you by Velvet Buck. This podcast looks at a West available nowhere else. Each episode, I'll be diving into some of the lesser-known histories of the West. I'll then be joined in conversation by guests such as Western historian Dr. Randall Williams and best-selling author and Meat Eater founder Stephen Ranella. I'll correct my kids now and then where they'll say when cave people were here. And I'll say, it seems like the Ice Age people that were here didn't have a real affinity for caves. So join me starting Tuesday, May 6th, where we'll delve into stories of the West and come to understand how it helps inform the ways in which we experience the region today. Listen

to The American West with Dan Flores on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I know a lot of cops, and they get asked all the time, have you ever had to shoot your gun? Sometimes the answer is yes, but there's a company dedicated to a future where the answer will always be no. Across the country, cops called this taser the revolution. But not everyone was convinced it was that simple. Cops believed everything that taser told them. From Lava for Good and the team that brought you Bone Valley comes a story about what happened when a multi-billion dollar company dedicated itself to one visionary mission. This is Absolute Season 1, Taser Incorporated. I get right back there and it's bad. It's really, really, really bad.

I'm Michael Kassin, founder and CEO of 3C Ventures and your guide on Good Company,

the podcast where I sit down with the boldest innovators shaping what's next. In this episode, I'm joined by Anjali Sood, CEO of Tubi, for a conversation that's anything but ordinary. We dive into the competitive world of streaming, how she's turning so-called niche into mainstream gold, connecting audiences with stories that truly make them feel seen. What others dismiss as niche, we embrace as core. It's this idea that there are so many stories out there, and if you can find a way to curate and help the right person discover the right content,

the term that we always hear from our audience is that they feel seen. Get a front row seat to where media, marketing, technology, entertainment, and sports collide. And hear how leaders like Anjali are carving out space and shaking things up a bit in the most crowded of markets. Listen to Good Company on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I'm going to tell you the first day I seen you, the first day I ever met you, right? All right, this is exactly how it happened. Boom.

I said it with corruptors in here, and if you needed a blunt, we got one roll for you. That's OG. You ain't fucking with our OG? I'm going to give you one. It came from Humboldt Campbell. What is it? Humboldt County? Humboldt County.

I'm going to give you one. You give me one. Fair exchange. All right, let's do it. Let's do it. So look, this is the first time I did LA LA, right? Mm-hmm. They did New York.

We did LA LA. Oh, okay. You got one already? Yeah, there you go. God damn it. Stay ready. ThatA., right? Mm-hmm. They did, no, they did New York. They did New York. We did L.A., L.A. Oh, okay, you got one already? Yeah, there you go. God damn it. That's when you got to get ready. Yeah, okay. All right, let me leave this over here so I know.

And then, boom, right? So then we fly to L.A. We fly to L.A. It's the Source Awards weekend, right? So everybody got to go back home. Now, when they're going back home, my record label hit me and said, yo, you got the number one album in the world. I said, yeah, this is the only place you're not doing good is L.A.

So I said, damn, I'm in L.A. at the time. So I'm like, damn. And they went to the top floor of the Monge Yards. The Monge Yards. The Monge Yards. Some of the CNN. No no this is the NRA album this is 1998 this is this is this is this is when this shit is on fire okay so he comes and then they went to the hotel they bring us like the champagne the bitches the sherpas the champagne and all this crazy shit I'm in LA I'm looking at the view. I'm like, all right, cool.

And then they say you got to stay out here a couple more days. But everybody had got robbed. I'm talking about Martin Lawrence. Listen, when they robbed Martin Lawrence. It's a problem already. It's a problem. Like, this is the funniest nigga in the world. We like that nigga.

I was mad about that. But I was like, y'all got to get that back. How you going to rob Martin? I'm like, hold on Martin, I'll get that back. Hold on, let me figure this shit out.

That's how fucked up it was. It was. In LA at that time. And you know what happened was when I stayed them extra days, you know, I'm going to call him my big homie, my big homie corrupt. You know what I'm saying?

My big homie dads because they're a couple of years older than me. I'm 38. I don't want to say what age they are. You know what I'm saying? Because that's my family. And they say, yo, because I was about to get thrown on. They said, cuz, you good. And I'm like, you know, it wasn't called a sprinter back then.

Back in the days, it was called a limo bus. So we had a limo bus, and Shaq even walked in our shit. And my niggas held me down from DPG, and I will never forget that ever again in my life. But let me get back to the first day I ever met you. So the first day I ever met you, L.A. L.A. comes out. I've never seen none of you guys. We spoke, and then we go to Power 96. What was it. L.A. comes out. I've never seen none of you guys. We spoke and then we go to Power 96.

What was Big Boy? 106. 106. Where Big Boy was at. And they tell me, yo, Norm, you gotta go upstairs by yourself. So I'm like, alright, cool. I got all my niggas downstairs. I'm like, alright, cool. I go upstairs by myself. It's Snoop. It's Daz. It's Corrupt. It's fucking

Shug. It's everybody up there. Oh, shit. I walk in. The niggas like, what's up? who is Daz, is corrupt, is fucking shook. It's everybody up there. I'm like, oh, shit. I walk in, the nigga's like, what's up, nigga? But I ain't going to lie to you, my nigga. My balls was in my little pinky toe. It was in my little pinky toe, but I acted tough, though. I ain't going to lie.

I'm like, what up, nigga? Like, yeah, the nigga's like, what up, God? I'm like, yo, I ain't gonna lie. I was like, what up, nigga? Like, yeah, nigga's like, what up, God? I'm like, yo, I'm not gonna lie. Yo, and that was, it was beautiful because my whole point of bringing up this whole story is I never, ever heard Snoop hate on a nigga. Never. Ever in your life. Not even Suge Knight when he was trying to kill me.

Woo! Woo! Woo! You want to talk about that, or? I mean, you know, we learn to live and forgive. You know, me and him got a great relationship now. So we good. We passed that.

And like I say, one thing about my life, you know, I know what I'm here for. I know what I'm called to do. And knowing that, knowing that I'm a prophet, knowing that I speak the truth, knowing that I got so much to deliver, the devil going to show up in many, you know, faces and facets, and he going to always come from within. Because he could never get to me from the outside. He could only get in from the inside. So he's always going to show you that face,

and he's going to give you that deception. But at the same time, it's my job to continue being me and to educate and elevate and not to try to persecute when he down or to kick him when he down, but to lift him up and to give him the spirit down, but to lift him up. And it gave him the spirit of love that he gave me when I didn't have a position to be a rapper, to be a voice, to be what I am. So I always took that in mind. And, you know, even when I was able to build my team up and be strong enough

to where I could do something to him, I didn't want nothing to happen to him. You know what I'm saying? I'm not going to lie. No, but what was the worst time with Shook during the no limit time? No, hell no, nigga. No limit. Them niggas wasn't playing. No, I'm saying that he wanted to get, you know what I'm saying? Because I'm not gonna lie. No, but what was the worst time with Shook, during the no limit time? No, hell no, nigga, no limit. Them niggas wasn't playing. No, I'm saying that he wanted to get at you. Oh, he didn't want none around that time.

Nothing with Master Keef. No way. Them niggas was really no limit soldiers. He wanted action when I was in the blind, when I didn't have no help, when I didn't have no team. And when he could stack a team, you know. And I'm telling this story because people need to know certain things about my

life, what I went through and what I had to persevere and how I stayed strong and stayed peace and didn't revert back to what gave me a murder case early in my career was foolishness as far as I was concerned and being able to be blessed to get past that, I couldn't

put myself in that position to do that again. Let's make some noise for that guy down there. So Snoop, we talked about you on tour right now. We talked about that, correct? Did we? No, we didn't get in depth in that. So tell us

what's going on this tour right now. Let's get into that. Well, me and Wes, Wes is like my baby brother, so anytime you go on the road with somebody that loves you. And you didn't see the footage where he kicked a nigga out for smoking a blunt.

You didn't see that. No, man, because me and him, we on that page. We used to do Zags together. We got to have a blunt conversation with him at some point. Me and him. He used to have a blunt

in the adventure. Oh, he used to smoke blunt? Oh, I can't wait to interview this nigga now. We used to smoke blunt together, nigga. to smoke blood? Oh, I can't wait to interview this nigga now. We used to smoke blood together, nigga. Oh, yeah? Oh, I can't wait to interview this nigga now. But when he drew the line, you know,

he was like, he ain't fucking with it no more. Him and 2 Chainz and about 50 other niggas. So who you on tour with? Just me, Wiz, Jhene Aiko, Kasty Badgers. That's Iguri like groceries, right? Yeah.

That's just going to happen. He did make the right decision, Snoop. He did, because as you can see, her track record proved that she was moving her way up to a Snoop Dogg video. Yeah.

And hold on. Hold on. I wouldn't doubt if she was in a Snoop Dogg video. And if she would have made it to a Snoop Dogg video, they would have got dicked down. Let's just keep it real. Yeah, because behind door number one, there's one dick. And behind door number two, there's two dicks. Exactly.

I already knew it was going down. I was out of there. Let's make some noise for EFN not caring about us. EFN, thank you. Hey, you know what? See, one thing about a player, right, which was told to me a long time ago, it's not about how hard or how tough your heart is because your heart can be broken. When you're a player, you got to have a stomach for this shit

because you'll be able to endure anything if you got a tough stomach. So make sure you tighten up on your stomach and give a fuck about your heart. So let's just break that down because one of the last times I seen you was in Bishop Don Juan crib. Oh, yeah. You want me to remind you of the time?

Your first album.

I'm going to be honest. We loved N.W.A. so much in the East Coast. Now, I'm going to speak from a New York perspective. The EFN, I would love for you to speak from a Miami perspective. But we loved NWA so much. And then when the fuck the police

came out and this shit was happening. And then remember, the first cop ever killed was in Queens with Fat Cat and Pappy Mason, the parole officer. The first cop that ever got killed was in Queens. Contrary to popular belief, whatever

it be. And then Fuck the Police came out and I'm going to speak for me. For me, when that first time I heard First Fuck the Police, first time I heard straight out of Compton, I was scared of Compton. Because I thought Compton was a jail.

Because remember, the last time I heard something was Rikers Island. Right. And they symbolized Rikers Island from Coogee Rap. So when I heard straight out of Compton, I thought these niggas was talking about jail. Right. This is real shit. This is my own personal life. I'm not speaking for the east coast i'm

speaking for me and then we got to realize what nwa was and nwa and we realized gangbanging we realized this this was something totally different and then it it disappeared for quite some time and then all of a sudden, it's this record called Deep Cover. Classic. How did... I don't know. Just take it from there for me. This is the blunt you wrote for me because I'm smoking.

Yes, sir. Deep Cover was... It was a situation where we was in the studio... But you remember the time period I was talking about, where I'm talking about where NWA, and then you just burst out of nowhere, and I wanted you to take it from there. I apologize. I don't want to cut you off. They be killing me for this.

It wasn't like nowhere. It was like I was on the sideline watching NWA, getting ready, getting my shit together. Now, before I let you go, now, in the movie, it was like you just walked in the crib and Deep Cover was playing. Was that like, did that happen in real life? You just walked in the crib and Deep Cover was playing? In the studio. In the studio, in the movie. That's how it was predicted.

Well, some of the movie was, you know. Of course. Made to be a movie. But we want to know the real life. Actuality, you know, there was a scenario where we were staying with Dre at his house, the same little house that you've seen in NWA where, you know, where the G-Thing scene was. Where he didn't have no furniture. It was just a studio.

And one morning he was on his way to go work out. And before he left, he was like, he put this beat up and he was like, I need you to write something to it. Sure, I'm going to call you and tell you what it's about. So when he leaves, sure, call me about an hour later. And he's like, doggy dog, I got these people on the phone from Sony. It's a movie called Deep Cover. It's about an undercover police officer.

I need you to freestyle for about, you know, 25, 30 seconds. And then I want you to, you know, cut it off, cut it off like you're cutting it down, and I'm going to just tell you, I'm going to call you back. I'm like, all right, cool. So he called me back. I put the beat on. He like, I got him on the phone. Let him hear it. So I start busting a little bit, busting a little bit, busting a little bit, and I turn

it down. Like, he like, all right, we're going to call y'all back. Boom, he called me back. He like, nigga, write the song. It's about an undercover police officer. It's called Deep Cover. Cool like, nigga, write the song. It's about an undercover police officer. It's called Deep Cover. Cool. So I write the whole song.

Drake come back. He listened to it. He like, I don't really like it. I'm like, nigga, well, fuck it. So he ends up saying this shit. This nigga don't like it. He hates the record. So he lay it down.

We do our shit. He put his little twist on it. Couple of weeks later, nigga tell me, yeah, we gonna do a photo shoot. Come pick up a couple hundred dollars. So they give me like two, three hundred dollars. I go to the swap meet by White Sox

House. Now was this swap meet on Slauson and Crenshaw? No, I went to Compton swap meet. I didn't fuck with that one. I'm from Long Beach. Compton was closer. So I went to the Compton Swap Meet and bought the outfit that I had on thinking it was going to be a photo shoot. Then when I get there, niggas is like...

Yeah, niggas like, okay. And the first scene is I'm like... And the last time you spoke to him, he said he hated it. He hates the record to this day. Oh my God. Stop. Stop. Don't give us that. We only performed that record probably ten times my whole life.

Wow. I got to see it one time. Get the fuck out of here. I've never beeped that. He don't like that record. Like, that's not one of his... He don't understand that that record, like you said,

that's the birth of the rebirth. Because me, as a child, in New York that was our shit like we kind of in my era we kind of related to NWA more than what African Bambaataa and X-Clan

was doing at that time like I kind of identified with LA LA music or the NWA's more me I'm just saying me I can't music, the NWA's, more, me, I'm just saying me, I can't claim the East Coast right now, I gotta claim me, and then that tension was voided, but then out the blue comes this Deep Cover record. Because that was big on the East Coast, Deep Cover, it was huge.

Listen, I'm telling you, I know it was bigger than New York than it was in LA. It wasn't really that big in L.A. Listen, I'm telling you, to this day, there's 17,000 remakes of Deep Cover in New York right now. I believe it. Like, I'm telling you, that record was... See, that's the first record that I was ever on. So you got to understand, when it started getting big, you know, people was telling me, man, that record. And that's when Yo MTV Raps, motherfucking Fab Five, Freddie.

And then they had Drake, Ed and Lover, and Dr. Drake. And when we made the motherfucking countdown, nigga, that's when I knew it was popping. If you get on the countdown. The countdown was different. On that shit, man, knock it off. If you get on the countdown over there, on the East, because it wasn't nothing but Daz Effect videos, EPMD, it was all heat.

Nigga, legends. There wasn't no, new booties wasn't popping back then. So when the Deep Cover record actually hit, did you know you was about to be a star, or that wasn't the moment yet? No. When was the moment that you knew like nigga i made the because in the movie in the movie right let's just let's just knock this out because i'm gonna be honest when i looked at it in the movie and i looked when you walked in and shug knight jumped up i was like yo get tell us when you get out of here and you was like no i like the beat cuz i. I said, that's fake. That's not Snoop.

Because I know you. That wasn't fake the way we met, though. So he told you to leave the studio immediately? Nah, when we, the first time we made contact was tension. Oh. You know what I'm saying? Because it was like, I'm, cuz, he blood. Right, sure.

So you walked in the studio. Let's break this down. Me and Warren G. Warren G brought me. That G Warren G brought me that was more gin the school three Okay, that was Warren G. Oh, so Warren G brings me into the studio And he right here He don't know who I am and I'm talking the way I'm talking and he say something about the way I'm talking I'm like when nigga who was you and he like well hold on and it's like Dre like wait a minute He's like he here to do music and then they put the music Dre, like, wait a minute. He's like, nigga, he here to do music.

And then they put the music on. And then when the music come on, the niggas start busting. You know, one plus one equals two. I'm the company. This the artist. Let me go ahead and get a relationship. I like this nigga because he got hard. I like this nigga because this nigga hard.

So it was like, like I said, steel sharp and steel. There wasn't no busters, wasn't no punks, wasn't no weenies, no bowing down, none of that shit. Yo, I ain't going to lie. That shit just made my day just now. Make some noise. When I seen it, I said, damn. But you know what? You're talking about the beginning of your career. Yeah.

Man, I had nothing to lose. Wow. I'm trying to get in where I fit in. You know what I'm saying And it's like I wasn't trying to be Extracted out But at the same time I'm trying to get in

Where I'm fitting I'm here to do some rapping Nigga don't try to check me Nigga when I'm here I'm asked to be here Right A nigga want me to be here So the first record

Y'all ever worked on Was the Chronic The first song We ever worked on Was G-Thing Before G-Thing. Before G-Thing, he gave me the beat.

It's the beat to go. It's the beat to go. Doom, doom, doom. Boom, boom. Doom, doom, doom. Classic sound. This nigga's new. Woo!

That beat. And I took it to my house. I didn't even have a house. I was staying with my cousin on 10th and Lyme. Me, Daz, and about seven of her kids. So I wrote that motherfucker on 10th and Lyme. Took it back to the studio. He liked it.

Ended up going to jail for three months. Had to wait. Then when I got out, recorded it. Recorded that song. Then the deep cover situation happened. Okay, hold on. You went to jail for three months. That means you was petty. We need to know what petty shit you did to go to jail

for three months. Alright, look. I was on probation, right? Joint suspension probation. Wait, wait. You was already on probation. I was already on joint suspension probation. Okay, what petty shit you did to get on probation? I was selling cocaine. Okay, all right. I was recovering.

Now, let's fast forward back. I was a recovering drug dealer. Okay. Goddammit, it makes some noise. Hold on, hold on. Let's pick up the Best Buy liquors, man. You know what I'm saying? Shut up, Best Buy.

I mean, you get lit. You niggas got me drinking and all. Oh, man. We can drink it with you. Yo, Liquors, man. You know what I'm saying? Shut up, Best Buy. I mean, he getting lit. You niggas got me drinking and all that. We drinking with you. Yo, Snoop, man. There's no way we can repay you. I also want to big up my boy, Pharmacist, man. You know what I mean? He got the plug at the Tetra Hydro Club.

But go ahead, Snoop. Please finish that story. Please. What are we talking about? I'm so fucked up. Yeah, me too. I just got... Oh, no, no.

Why he was petty for going to jail for three months. Okay, yeah, yeah. Three months. Recovering ex-drug dealer. Right. So now this time, I'm on probation, right? So I'm working with Dr. Dre. My probation officer know what's happening, but he don't know what's happening.

Okay, so time out. Because nothing came out. So time out. You was working with Dr. Dre on parole. Let's make some noise for him. That wasn't petty. And this is when Dre was leaving Roofless Records trying to figure out what he was going to do.

Okay, yeah. You get what I'm saying? So it's that stage right there. So now I'm fucking with Dre and doing my thing with him, writing behind the scenes, trying to create whatever we're going to create. We didn't even call it Death Row Records. We call it Future Shock Records right now so and it's after after man no this is before this is after ruthless this one he leaves ruthless before y'all hear about the

the conflict with him and easy this is when they trying to figure out how he gonna leave he ain't even left yet. He trying to figure out how the fuck he going to leave. So now I'm on probation. So now I got a toothache. So I ain't got no money to go to the dentist. So my auntie,

she the pill lady. So she give me codeine and some other shit. Hold on, talking about the pill lady? Yeah. She got everything. Everything.

All right. Birth control, we need She got everything. Everything. Birth control, baby pills, everything. She got birth control and tooth pills. That's what's up. Leukemia, everything. She got your leukemia. You hear me?

She got everything, man. So she give me this tea, give me a couple things. I take them and I'm good. I'm like, woo woo. So I go pee in the bottle not knowing that I'm finna test dirty

because these are prescribed drugs that have not been prescribed to me. Wow. So when I give my test back the probation officer like, you know, Mr. Broadus, you got a dirty test. I know you ain't doing no cocaine

because it ain't cocaine. You know, because I'm a drug offender that has to register as a drug offender that has to register as a drug offender now. You can't be around none of that shit. So he says,

it says that you have codeine. What happened? I said, man, I had a toothache. He like, well, I'm going to take you to the judge and see what the judge say. The judge was like,

you violated three months. Wow. And off I go in the middle of getting my career started and hoping that Dre don't be like, fuck it, this nigga going to jail. I ain't fucking with this nigga.

But he held on. So he wasn't petty at all. I apologize for making noise for that. Man, you retracted a petty comment? I retracted my petty comment. You know I love being petty. So now let's take it to that first album. Okay.

Okay. So the Chronic album happens. How much did the Chronic album happens. Mm-hmm. How much did the Chronic sell? Shit, about five, six billion. Something like that. So you're already on tour. No, that's the thing.

We did a seven-day tour for the Chronic. Run DMC, Ghetto Boys, and Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg and that motherfucker lasted seven days because on the seventh day of Christmas my true love gave to me all the bloods and the crips that we had with these niggas no we was cool

we was on the road together but the niggas that every city we ran into it was a problem because it was like you can't take all these rough, tough bloods and crips together. We can't fight each other. But nigga, we finna fuck y'all up. And it was like, afterwards, we'd be in the hotels and shit. Nigga, the hoes would come.

A couple of niggas come. And it would just go all bad. And then by the seventh day, nigga, we was in my room chilling. I had a couple of females in there. And then Suge knocked on my door. Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom. Put the TV on channel four. I put it on channel four.

Nigga, the news was outside, nigga, with the police and everything. Yeah, we're about to come in here and get these niggas out of here right now. We got them surrounded. And then nigga Suge, that's why I love his gangster hair. Because that nigga found a way to get I love his gangster hair because that nigga found a way to get me, him, and Dr. Dre out of that motherfucker.

We ran through a back window, ran across the freeway, nigga got us a motherfucking rental car, drove to the next state, got a private

plane and flew the fuck up out of there. Make some noise for that. Yeah, G-Shit, that nigga Shug Knight was a cold gangster. Yo, Ron, can I get a five, Ron? Goddamn it, Ron. Can I shout you out? Come on.

Come on, Ron, listen. We got a million people listening. I'm just lying. We already got like four people listening. Come on. Four and a half. Four and a half people. You know what I'm saying? Ted Chung, everybody. What's the pop? Ted Chung, everybody. What's the purpose? But, Ron, shout your people out, man.

Just shout yourself out, man. Shout out to me, Ron Alvarez. Ron Alvarez. Yo, listen, let me tell you something. You know why I had to do that mid-interview? Because people don't get close to the dog, man. You know, we are so honored at the Drink Champs. And let me just tell you something he hit me and was like nigga he's like

nigga you ain't you ain't invite me yet I was like yo you know you know it's Snoop Dogg like sometimes he don't eat or eat forget that he Snoop Dogg so when he hit me with that message I was like. I think I think I screenshotted this shit. Let's make some noise for Snoop. Let's make some noise for Snoop. God damn it. So you did it. You did the chronic tour, which was seven days, you said.

Yep. Then we stopped. It was over with seven days. So how did how was this approach? Because the chronic sold how much? I forget. Like maybe six million. I was about to say seven. So how was this approach? Because the Chronic sold how much? I forget. Like maybe six million. I was about to say seven. So six.

So six million. So now, and how old are you at this time? 1992. I am 20 years old. Now how the fuck do they tell you get in the studio? Because you fuck, at this point, you fucking everything. I don't give a fuck. I was 20 years old with a platinum reckless and make some noise for you fucking everything.

So how the hell, how did they get you in the studio to make this classic first album? It is crazy. Because 20 years old, I don't give a fuck. And when you black, 20 is 30, right? When you black, right? And you from the hood. But when you black and got money, still 20 is 15. Yeah, but remember, I didn't have money.

This is being 20 with no money. But you're coming off the Chronic album. You still didn't have no money. That was Dr. Dre's album. That wasn't my record. Remember, I was worked for hire. I was the pen, you know, the pen behind the scene, which enabled me. This is where I think the blessing fell like it fell.

When we was creating Death Row Records, we didn't have no roster on who was coming out, what was going next, and what was in order. It was pecking order. We put ourselves in position, meaning that once Dre album was being worked on, whoever was the dopest, the hardest, the one that people wanted to see and hear next was going to position himself to get a solo deal. And that's what I was pushing for. I wasn't ever doing nothing but that.

That's why I wrote the best material for him. I gave him the best shit. I didn't go in there half-hearted. I went in there wholehearted and gave him the best of me. So when it was time for me to do my record, he gave me the best of him. And then next after that was the Dog Pound because Corrupting Dads was pushing

the hardest on my record. So it was like everybody was pushing and we was pushing each other to where the blueprint was laying out as we went. It was never written in stone, Dre, Snoop, Murder Was The Case, Dog Pound. It was like, you know what? Dre album.

We're going to figure everything else once we get past this. That was the first. Yeah. And what happened was I was so hungry. So because I'm totally sorry to cut you off, but y'all was all on that album. But you was the chosen one. I wasn't the chosen one. I was the one that worked the hardest.

He worked for it, yeah. Like, nobody chose me. So y'all all came. When you say Warren G brought you out to the studio, because Warren G was Dream's half-brother. Warren G was the plug. He was the plug. Warren G was the plug with Connecting Us.

He was the plug with some of them samples on the Chronic album. He was the plug with the skits. And, like, he was the plug. Like, you know what I'm saying? Like, he was the plug. You know what I'm saying? Like he was really active. That's why he was able to put a solo record out without Dr. Dre without Defro to save

Def Jam records. Let's not get that part fucked up. To save Def Jam records and get Russell M a whole new check again and put them back in the game because the rap game wasn't favorable for Def Jam at that time. Defro swaddled everything

up and Warren G was like a plug into the Defro system without dealing with Suge Knight. You get what I'm saying? And that's real business right there. And Russell can identify with that. And it's proven that that was a move that put

Def Jam back in play to give niggas deals again and for niggas to eat again because they were back as considered being hot because they had Warren G, a three, four million record seller on his own without their niggas. Basically without us, but with us because we was just behind the scenes. We just wasn't visible. So now, Long Beach, right? This first album. Mm-hmm. This first album, I heard that you said, after the Chronic. No, first I heard that you said, in the Chronic, y'all all stayed in the same house. Yeah.

And then, now, going to this first album. First album, I got an apartment in Hollywood. One bedroom. We call it the dog pound. $500 a month for rent. I'm barely paying rent. Are you talking about in Hollywood? In Hollywood.

Where is this place at? I need to see it right now. It's on the corner of Whitley and Franklin, right on the corner. Is it still available? It's still available. We need an office right now. Right now. Right now. Right now. Right now. Right now.

Right now. And then we're going to tell them listen nigga we're going to be the next Snoop Dogg. It's still available. We're twinning. We're twinning. And Mr. Lee we're going to say this. It's y'all too. Y'all new artists. Because me and this nigga we look too old. You know what I'm saying? Nah I'm talking about shit. I'm talking about shit.

But hey listen because that first album because I just want to. Now I'm going to represent I'm talking about shit but hey listen because that first album because I just wanna now I'm gonna represent for the whole New York all these other moments I did and I would like you

to represent for Miami for sure but when you dropped that first album everybody related to you and you was

I don't think you had initially tried to identify with every ghetto in America but you identified with your ghetto and what happened was it identified with everybody across the globe so I want I want you to take us to that first album first album was heavy man because um me and Dr. Dre was together every day. Like, we would really ride together. We would be in the vehicle. We had a Benz back then.

He would pick me up. We would roll together. We would stay the night together. We was doing all kind of fly shit. Like, it would be two girls, right? I'll give you one scenario, just because we personal like that. Yeah, let's do it. Nobody's listening to us.

And they didn't put this in the movie, so I was like, all right, I'll put it in my movie. This is your movie right now. I'll put it in my movie. So, for example, we had two girls, right? And these two bitches stayed together. But they stayed far, though. So I didn't have no car,

so we'd go see them together, right? And all while we riding to go see them, I got a cassette on playing the Dramatics, Marvin Gaye, Funk, all kind of old shit so when we get there he going his side of the room i'm going my side we meet back up like six in the morning six in the morning in the living room boom jump back in the car and ride back to the studio and make a record that's how doggy style was created for like four or five of the records some Some of them records was created based off of a night that we had, you know, later on that day. My nigga Dr. Dre came through with a gang of Tango Wright.

You know, some of that shit was really happening. Exactly what happened. And it was like, it was translated into the music. And then some of the records that we made on Doggystyle was just the song Jigs and Hustlers. He said, go in there and mic check. I mic check, and what I mic check is what you hear on the album. It's a whole one-take freestyle.

No going back, no doubles, just whatever the fuck came out, came out when I was done with it. I was like, all right, let me write it. He was like, nigga, you ain't writing shit. That motherfucker's dope. I'm like, for real? He's like, yeah. Played it back for me, let me hear it.

I was like, fuck it. Came out just like that. Same with the Shiznit. So these are two records that I didn't even write. I just went in there and just mic check, mic check, one, two. And to this day, you don't write? Stopping like a rabbit. Oh, I do write, but some of the songs that I have done

have just came spontaneous. And that's just how the fuck they go. It is what it is. One of the craziest records on mixtapes, because that's my claim to fame,

mixtape DJ. Yeah, yeah, friend. Doggy Style Remix. I love that record. When I was a mixtape, I was like, I needed to hunt the record down.

I got it. Put it on my mixtape. I was the craziest in Miami with my shit. The Doggy Style remix. Remix. Yeah, that motherfucker never came out. Love that shit.

Because I don't remember it either. Love that shit. Come on, break it down. Nah, I mean, it's a remix, and it's totally different from the original. It is. That shit hard as fuck. The record is crazy.

You know, he the only nigga that will remember that, because listen, you know he brung KRS-One. KRS-One. This fucking guy. He brung KRS-One, a bracelet from Jesus. In 1431. DC? Was it BC or AD? Yeah, yeah, yeah. BC?

Yeah, yeah. Listen, he remembers everything, Snoop. So that first album, okay, you go in the studio, because now Death Row was the shit, right? Yeah, we popping now. We lightweight popping. The chronic got us lightweight popping, because one thing's for sure and two things for certain,

the East Coast wasn't really fucking with West Coast entirely until my record came out. No, you're entirely true. Let's make some noise for him. Got that? Right? No, because you know why? We understood N.W.A., but then there was people in between y'all.

But let's not forget, the East Coast might be misrepresented, because there's the East Coast as New York, and then down South Miami, we East Coast too. Like you know Let's not forget The east coast Might be misrepresented Because if the east coast Has New York And then down south Miami We east coast too Yeah but One thing about the west coast The east coast

To us Has always been New York That's the mecca Right Like we've always Looked for them for approval If they don't give you The stamp of approval

If you can't get on High 97 The flex don't drop a bomb Which was the problem For a while If Angie Martinez don't give you an interview and Ed Loving,

Dr. Dre, Fab Five, Freddie don't say what's happening to you. Nigga, if certain shit that got to happen, you understand me,

or you ain't official like a referee with a whistle. And we felt like that from the South too. The South. Oh, y'all did. But y'all was considered the East

and y'all ain't even know it. No, we couldn't get it. New York was the... No, but the West Coast was considered the East. Snoop just said it. even know it. No, we couldn't get it. New York was the... No, but the West Coast is considered the East. Snoop just said it. Leave him alone. No, he didn't say it. He did not say it.

That's it. He didn't say it. That's it. No, he did not. Let me get away with it. Let me get away with it. So, okay. This album comes out.

You work on your first album. Yeah. The Sauce Awards happened. I'm going to be honest. I was in jail when the Sauce Awards came out. But I have to big you up because one day I was in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.

And I go to the stage. The promoter say, we don't got the rest of your money so I was like alright cool so I'm gonna leave I leave the promoter gets on the show and says Nori don't fuck with y'all

he said y'all don't have enough money for him to perform and he throws down the mic so I was going outside anyway all the crowd come and they brush my car so i get out the car and i'm like and everybody was like oh nobody can do but i got that from you. But that moment. That's cold. That moment in East Coast history because we loved you. And we.

That's why y'all didn't kill nobody. Yeah, nah, nah. Just keep it 100. We're going to keep it 100. Everybody always asks me about that scenario, that situation. But the truth of the matter is that a lot of lives could have been taken if that strategic play wasn't played. You know what I'm saying? Because it was a gangster, speaking to gangsters,

getting the respect and the mutual respect of, you know, let us get up out of here safely because we understand the dynamics of what's going on and what's taking place, but let's not have some casualties of some unnecessary motherfuckers that don't need to be. And that's what it was. In the art of war, anytime countries you know, countries go to war,

they always have a conversation. It's always two leaders or two motherfuckers that's going to chop it up before they actually push the button and do their thing. And they never just drop the bomb like he will shoot. Let's keep it real. You knew East Coast had love for you. I did.

You knew it. Because it's your confidence in which you said it. You was like, yeah, I ain't got no. I was in jail like, that nigga know what he talking about. Like, nah, nah, listen, this is real shit. Nah, nah, I'm listening. Because at the end of the day, he was West Coast mob deep. He could have rolled out with the Bloods.

He could have rolled out with Snoop. But you got to realize in which the man did it. He out by himself he did have um a yak of the mean yeah but yeah he did have a yak of the mean because i didn't know what the next move was because you know what listen it's just like what i did i knew some of the most records i ever sold is in this area. There's no way. There's no, I mean, there's no way. Like, I mean, honestly, like you had to say to yourself, there's no way. Like, everybody here bought my record. Yeah.

You had to sell 800,000 at least just in New York. Man, they love me, man. And they love you. That's a fact. And I felt that. Like, the first time I felt the New York love, I did a show called The Rosie Perez Show. And that motherfucker, it was EPMD, and it was Pete Rock and CL Smooth. And I swear to God, I was so infatuated with the fact that I was actually performing with them niggas.

And I even put some boots on, nigga. I don't even wear them fucking boots. I was like, nigga, I'm going to dress like these niggas, nigga, and come out here and fuck it up. And when I finished doing my shit, these niggas came in my trailer, nigga, and we smoked and we chopped it up, and that's when I really said, you know what?

New York, fuck with us. Because these niggas came in the trailer, and they talking to us. We loved you. And that's why I was glad. Like, at that moment, like I said, I was in jail. But at that moment, I was so glad of your stance because you wasn't speaking for a West Coast nigga. You were speaking for an artist. And what I mean by that is if you love me, you love me.

That's like, yo, if I fucking perform in a KKK rally, nigga, if you fucking my music, fucking my music, just let me leave about it at this moment. Look, you fucking my shit, I'm going to perform, and let me get the fuck out of here. Yeah, let me walk. You know what I'm saying? But Snoop, man, you know, your history is so historic.

Your history is so impeccable, in my opinion. It's like, you know, continuously you have made yourself relevant. You just dropped a new album. Yeah, Kool-Aid. Let's get into that new album now. It's Kool-Aid, and it's purposely spelled with a C. Yeah, Kyle. All right.

Of course. Have we learned anything here? Let's break spelled with a C. Yeah, Kyle. Alright. Have we learned anything here? Let's break that down. Let's break that down. What's going on with this new album? Well, this new album is just me finding my way back home again. You know, getting back on my gangsta shit, you know what I'm saying? I went to Jamaica and I found a beautiful spirit within

myself that I needed to find. I did reggaeton't you do Jamaican. Let's do it. Give me a high five. With a laugh. With a laugh. With a laugh. With a laugh.

With a laugh. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, but it was, you know what? As a kid, I grew up loving reggae music and I wanted to know. This your blood. This your blood.

I wanted to know why I loved it, right? So when I went to Jamaica, I was taken to the Nibingi Temple and I was given the instructions and information on what I was and who I was taken to the Nibengi Temple and I was given the instructions and information on what I was and who I was and I tuned in and tapped into what I was. Some history that America never gave me. But you did bring your

own weed. Oh, I had to do that. Because you heard that Jamaica had dirt. Let's keep it real. I did too. Their weed wasn't dirt. It just was from the ground. It was organic and it had no chemicals on it. I was going to tell you, I was going to say, you know what? You have to go to Tivoli Gardens. I went there.

I don't know. But then I had to stop myself. With a president, nigga. Because you went. Do this. Yo, listen. I went to Doodah's neighborhood. Yo, yo, yo.

To his neighborhood. Yo, listen, nigga. Yo, no. Listen, Doodah's, listen. I was about to say. I'm watching Snoop shit and I'm like, damn, I did that. I did everything this nigga did. But I said, yo, this nigga ain't going to Tivoli Gardens.

The next scene, this nigga went to Tivoli Gardens. I'm in there, nigga. I was like, oh. They took me to the gutter, nigga. And you had your own week. The nigga said, you hit day shit. And then you said. Usually at nighttime, man, you need to go home.

I said, fuck that. I'm showing up at nighttime, nigga. Yeah, yeah, that's right. I. Usually at night time, man. You need to go home, man. Right, right, right. I said, fuck that. I'm showing up at night time, nigga. Yeah, yeah, that's right. I pull up at the night, nigga. It was some uncomfortable parts that it looked like. Man, come on, man. It was because, see, you got to understand. When you real and you expose yourself.
