But tonight's guest, you know, Cameron C was the first guy to come in here and turn it into Smoke Champs. But he was hands, he's uh, undisputedly the Smoke King, the Smoke Champ. Over this legend that we had? No, I'm talking about this legend. I'm talking about this legend that we took about Snoop.

He was very easy to work with as well. Very easy. Crazy. The way he actually hit me, you know what I'm saying, to hook it up anyway. And he didn't want to leave. Yeah, he didn't. We actually- He was very comfortable. Yeah, yeah. So we- I say without further ado, let's get into it, man.

Snoop Dogg, man, the godfather, the king of the West Coast, on the drink chance. West Coast legend. And he drank with us, and we got fucked up that night Let's do it. Let's go has it sounds. Let's do this Hey, hang Sangria. Hope you saw via this is your boy in ORE. What up is DJ EFN this motherfucker drink chance podcast And right now we got the West Coast on. Motherfucker who took Defro on his fucking back and rolled it. Then when y'all niggas tried to front, he went to New Orleans 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 Mason. Hey, hey, you're the toast to the boogie. Yes, yes, yes, yes.

So Snoop, 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 you and Game, and the reason why it was so acceptable and so relatable to me is because both of you and 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. 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 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 blueprint blueprint a new protocol and effect. And that's what happened. Many years ago, me and Gang forged a relationship when he was just a young homie. And always trying to guide him and lead him and direct him

and give him information on life. 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, one day we just said, you know what, we fed up with all of this 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, dogs. 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. So it was like, it was like, OK, whatever. But then it would hit him so hard and hard that when he called me and 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 can't lead him like that. 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 lead him like that

I never let him down the dark alley 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. Yes, you was. Yes, you was. And once we got there, then he figured out what he wanted to do once we got there. Then he laid the plan down and ran down to speech and said we wanna go to the police department and the region do so 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 work Game figuring out what we was gonna do when we got there in the morning his spirit was this is what we gonna do We're not gonna go down there. We're not gonna mash it and we're gonna talk to him a little relationship So as we walking down there the police escorting us because we built a relationship with them before we even started.

They escort us to the 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. I heard about that. I see that. 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 so that way. Because in your opinion, in your opinion right um is that what you feel like it should be happening

is the communication because when I grew up right snow I grew up and The nigga that was patrolling the hood was also the nigga that was fucking Tamara Yeah, you know I'm saying like but now the nigga that's patrolling the hood come from, you know, but Cree, you know You know, you know So here or the back you don't understand our dialogue. You know understand you know, whatever. He not from our neighborhood. He not from around, so he automatically nervous. He don't understand our dialogue. He don't understand our communication.

Like, I grew up with police, not saying that I work with them, but we had somebody from the hood who always had an understanding with them to where they wouldn't just come in and just bull guard and just beat dogs to us. If they wanted somebody, the homeless would be like, look, we ain't gonna help you get him,

but we damn sure not gonna 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 is scared when they pull up, they automatically just drawin' 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 going through, because you don't have to always have a negative approach. Because you never know, this man may be going through the same shit you're going through. Now is this something you guys are going to do ongoing or is it just the one time? It was a 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. The key to go through, yeah. Yeah, 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. Yeah, let's pick that up right now.

Let's make some noise for the God damn Amateur. Yeah! Listen. And I also want to shout out Best Buy Liquors. They provided their liquor right now. Shout out to Best Buy Liquors. Food Dog is drinking some Rose. He ain't drinkin' Rose,

and he drinkin' it out a drink champs cup You know best buy motherfucking lickers man. You know, that's they got about four locations in Miami. You know what I mean? Kindle to it can do you know I'm saying I don't know how to pronounce that Ranger and in Florida City man, go check out my people at best by looking you So listen man, Mary Jane Let's talk about that right now. You know me because we did talk about you know, that's positive. Let's make some noise to Snoopy and positive Gang bangers, oh they go positive 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 every day. You never smoked 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 would be quick. We was like, yo, we don't wanna smoke no more. And Snoop, you remember that? We was in the hotel. Come on, nigga. I was still the same baby. Yo, my nigga, my nigga, nigga smoked us out, man. All my OG niggas, they wouldn't talk to me no more.

I went back to the hotel. Pleasure is all mine. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I never satisfied customers. So we see 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 gotta have it. It's like, you know, you can't eat what You can't eat what they eat if you ain't used to eating what they eat. So it's like somebody who got a role with his own chef, or got a role with his own personal trainer. That's like my chef and my personal trainer, all in one, the Gangsta Gumball. God damn, let's make some noise for that, God damn it.

God damn it. God damn it. So is Miami Crippy ever any good for anybody? Wait, I don't know. Miami good. Crippy, Crippy. No, Miami got good, good. I ain't even going for it.

Maybe like four years ago, Miami started stepping that 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, started getting it getting and then when you start seeing those big Rappers out here in those NBA players, you know what comes with that? It's good money and good weed and then the bad bitch is coming and you know, there it is there Let me tell this hot. Let me pick up mr. Lee star rock clothing, you know, my people's right there

But the snoop let's break down this Mary Jane thing break it down because I've been you know You know first off you mom you 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 I told uncle murder you the uncle you the little uncle you the little uncle. Alright, so that's my nigga. You're climbing, you're climbing. But first is Uncle Luke, Uncle Snoop.

And so now, I always follow your career. Me and you, you all are contrivedly popular belief when you know the LA LA and the New York New York. Me and you has always been rock solid. Yeah, Pierce. You've always been a great guy, but I've always admired your entrepreneurial I don't know if that's a word entrepreneurial. That's what I was Your mogul skills and I also just impeached you with the mogul with the compound out in LA We gonna be in LA on August 27th. I'm saying they come see me. Yeah

We checked. We tried to get you in LA. We tried to get you in. 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. This is an app.

No, this is bigger than an app. 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 end though. Information, blogs, television series, dispensaries, locations, strands. The Wikipedia. What it does for you, the style of the best shop the best pop the best hop

I mean, it's it's information It's the information hotline like I say 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 Mary Jane calm. Yeah Mary M E R R Yry you know not Mary but Mary I'm telling because we're very Mary. Is it an app as well? Is it also an app? It's an application this website is the web everything. It's obviously above. Because he only does heroin he doesn't smoke weed. Oh man. Lean over it then. Lean back. So let me just break it down for you. So now the, the, 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 it in like where you at and then it shows you with what, what, what, what, what, what, and if it, you know, I don't want to show, I don't want to say if you were in an illegal state, but it doesn't matter. They take care of you. You don't get, they take care of you, whatever're at. They take care of you wherever you're at. Because I seen Big Uncle, I said, damn. I said, god damn it.

Jesus Louise, Papa Jeeze. 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 gotta break it down for you like that. It's Google for weed.

Like you know how you wanna to Google yeah who got the best tacos it's pretty much the same thing. It's like Yelp for weed or more. Hey it's better yeah I would say Google because it covers a broad stretch. It's everything. So also now you on you on I gotta meet this guy you know I've never met Wiz Khalifa this is my guy. We spoke, we kicked it, but I've never spoken, cause 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. He was listening to a studio session. I'm looking, cause I'm a fan of Wiz Khalifa, I'm looking, and he stops the whole studio session and listen to session He stops it all and said yo you you gotta walk out So I said this nigga gotta have a cigarette or something and this nigga had a blunt

So, what do you think about the the the joints verse the blunts Well, I'm one of the originators of the other movement. That's what Currency said on this show. That's what Currency said. Nah, keep your motherfucking blunt in your pocket, low. Cause doggy dog is on about to zigzag smoke. That's what Currency said. That's what Currency said. Let's make some noise for Snoop Dogg.

What is it? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. 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 introduced me to a blunt was Bushwick Bill Working on the chronic out my nigga the midget Is a motherfucker

So Yeah, so he get us high with the blunt I'm like, okay, that's cool The next time was that 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 the 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, it was like slowly but surely, it was, 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. And this is what we're doing to you. So we bought some Bombay, are we out of line? Mm-mm. Because we're related to your old shit. Are you telling us we're related to your old shit? Just tell us we old niggas. We just don't have the juice.

You can tell us. You can say yo. Let me tell you about the Bombay real quick. Uh huh. Okay. We was on tour, right? This one nigga was a young nigga. So we only was fucking with Sigurd's gin or Tanger Way.

We walked up in the store nigga and we seen some blue gin. Nigga was like, Cud, they got some Crip gin, Cud. So we bought this shit and started drinking it, I think it's like 99 proof or 100 proof, what, 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 nah. Oh no, 94 proof. You goddamn right. 94 proof. Knock it off. Knock it off. Knock it off. Knock it off. Nug it off.

That thing was 94 Pounds. 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. We was straight drinking Crip juice. So that's not gin and juice? No, that's Bombay. That's Crip juice. We were drinking that straight.

Now that you say that, right? You say crib juice, right? Now, I'm going to be honest. My first time being to LA, 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 Peacock,

and I forget what was the other thing. Peacock and 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. It was a full city of Crips. How 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, uh, this is how I meet Nas. I'm on the corner, right? I'm at Gardena with my homeboy, some shotgun. Now when you say Gardena, you talking about Long Beach? No, Gardena is a city outside of Long Beach, where they got gangs

over there too. Okay, I seen a hotel on there for $113. Exactly. It must be a bad neighborhood. No, it's bad. Bad neighborhood. When I seen a hotel for $113. Exactly. It must be a bad neighborhood. No, it's bad. It's bad. When I see the 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. So it's just- Shotgun Crayon? Yeah, it's a long street that we own. We all stand out there like 7, 8 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, one mat. And if you don't pay attention, it look like a nigga finna just come do a drive-by, but he really just come and run in and say, what's up? So my niggas is nigga finna just come do a drive-by, but he really just come and say what's up. So my niggas is finna get they thing.

I'm like, hold on, cuz, that's the rapper from New York named Nas, cuz. Oh, shit. Now, when you hear this, when you hear this? This like 94. Oh, let's make some noise for Snoop. Woo! Give it up for Snoop.

Go ahead, go ahead. And this the first time I meet cuz, so he run over to me, I shake his hand. In Long Beach? No, we in Gardena. Oh Gardena, that's right. We in another nigga neighborhood. But it's like if you riding down the street and you see one of your niggas that you seen on TV and you like, nigga pull over let me holler at Snoop Dogg, I know this nigga gonna

say what's up. Not knowing you got on All Red. You know what I'm saying? You jump out a 15 passenger van. Nigga it looked real suspicious. So when I shake his head, I'm like, check this out, girl, next time you run a dope, here go my number. You got to call me first, man.

You can't jump out. Dress neutral, man. I'm not going to lie. I'm not going to lie, my first time going to LA, I was taught the codes, you know what I'm saying? So I was taught to like, cause see you gotta realize, we had the LA LA, y'all had the New York New York first, then we had the LA LA and we thought it was turmoil, the two greats died and then we all pieced it out, but a lot of people didn't know we pieced it out So we was but at the same token when I was coming to LA

I was already taught the color codes or I was already in I was hanging with Mac 10 So I knew when I go to Inglewood, it's a certain type of plate That's the certain type of place when I go to when I fuck with corrupting them and I go by a tray in a block You know, I mean? Like I know like. But you know what though, on top of all of that, what you talking about? Right. Yo gangsta, you and Capone and Mobb Deep,

I'm gonna give y'all four niggas that. Let's make some noise for us. Yeah. Come on. For real. Y'all four niggas gangsta was so gangsta that one thing about the art of war, when you duel with somebody, you clash with somebody,

it earns you respect. That's right. You know, through the battle, you learn how to respect your enemy and your enemy becomes your friend and your loved one because you know they'll go where you'll go. And we realized we both on the same side. That's what it was all about.

On the side of black power, god damn it. It makes no sense. We underdog killed that. Woo hoo! On the side of black fucking power, my nigga. Listen, no, no, no, no, you black power too, motherfucker, Q. Black power Before we proceed any longer because we know what you're doing. This is the first day at all Let me tell you something.

Because see, let me just tell you something, Snoop, we don't like to interview people when they on a promo run, because we bigger than that. It's fake, it's fake.

You're just 100% of I don't even know if this is a word a superiority And you know what, you know, let me tell you something I said this on the podcast I don't know if I said this on a podcast, but I said Puff head I have never seen puff not once I have never seen Puff not once hate.

I'm gonna tell you the first day I've seen seen you the first day I ever met you right all right, this is exactly how it happened Boom um I said it would corrupt us in here, and if you need another blunt we got one roll for you That's og you ain't fucking with our og I'm gonna give you one. It came from Humboldt Campbell. What is it Humboldt County? I'm gonna give you more you give me one

So look this is the first time um I I did LA LA, right? Mm-hmm. They did no they did New York We did LA LA. Okay, you got one already Yeah, okay, I mean leave this over here so I know and then boom right so then we fly to LA We fly to LA. Um's the Source Awards weekend. Right? So everybody got to go back home. Now when they go back home, my record label hit me and say,

yo, you got the number one album in the world. I said, yeah, this is the only place you're not doing good is LA. So I said, damn, I'm in LA at the time. So so I'm like damn and um they went to the top floor of the mind yards the mind No, this is the NRE album this is this is this is this is when shit is on fire, okay, so He comes and then they went to the hotel, they bring us 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. They robbed, listen, when they robbed Martin Lawrence- It's a problem already. It's a problem already

Like this is the funniest nigga in the world. I was mad about that. I was like y'all got to get that back Hold on Martin, I'll get that back I'm gonna figure this shit out. That's how fucked up it was in LA at that time And you know what happened was when I stayed them extra days You know My mom I'm gonna call him my big homie my big homie corrupt. You know I'm saying My big homie dad's cuz they're a couple of years older than me. I'm 38. I don't want to say where age I was about to hit don't own this a cut you good and I'm like, you know what I'm saying, because of my family. And they said, they said, yo, because I was about to get thrown on this, they said, cuz, you good.

And I'm like, you know, you know, we, we, this is, it wasn't called a Sprinter back then. Back in the days, we had, 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, let me get back to the first day I ever met you so the first day I ever met you La la comes out and that was another scene none of you guys we spoke and and and then if we go to our power 96

It was big one. Oh six one. Oh six. We're big boys Yeah, and they tell me yo nor you got to go upstairs by yourself. So I'm like, all right cool I got all my niggas downstairs. I'm like, all right cool. I go upstairs by yourself. So I'm like, all right, cool. I got all my niggas downstairs. I'm like, all right, cool. I go upstairs by myself and Snoop is dazz. It's corrupt. It's fucking, uh, shi- look, it's everybody up there. I'm like, oh shit. I walk in and the niggas like, what's up, nigga? But I ain't gonna lie to you, my nigga. My balls was, my balls was in my little pinky toe. It was in my little pinky toe. It was in my little pinky toe, but I acted tough though. I ain't gonna lie. I was like, what up, nigga?

Like, yeah, nigga, like, what up, guys? 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! You wanna 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 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 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 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?

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. Nothing, nothing with Master B. No way.

Them niggas was really No Limit soldiers. He wanted action when I was in the blind, when I had no help, when I had no team, and when he could stack a team. 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, you know, 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. Right. Let's make some noise for that goddamn guy. So Snoop, we talked, and we talked about you on tour right now, we talked about that, correct? Mm-hmm. No, no, no, we didn't get in depth in that. So tell us what's going on in this tour right now.

Let's get into that. Well, me and Wes, Wes is like my baby brother, so. Right. Anytime you go on the road with somebody that loves you. And you didn't see the footage where he kicked the nigga out for smoking a blunt. You didn't see the footage. No, man, cause me and him, we on that page.

We used to do zags together. We gotta have a blunt conversation with him at some point. Me and intervention. He used to smoke blunt. We used to do zags together. We gotta have a blunt conversation with him at some point. Me and intervention. He used to smoke. He used to smoke. Oh he used to smoke? Oh I can't wait to interview this nigga now.

Make some noise! You're gonna be in the view. Listen. I'm gonna swore swear you say you did. No, I say I'm willing to try. Listen, eating the booties like groceries has been fantastic. I've been thinking about it. I don't know.

My wife was here, remember, when 50 was here. Listen, so you never ate the booties like groceries? No, man. No. No, like I'm very pleasurable in the bedroom to my wife, you know what I'm saying, to where I need to be. But as far as like being like over, you know, extraordinarily freaky, I have limits, you know what I'm

saying, do's and don'ts, you know what I'm saying, because the holy ride do its job, so I don't have to do all of that. I don't know what he just said, but it was buttery. That was that big dip. I don't know what he just said but it was buttery. That was that pit pit? So listen, Snoop, listen, my man, you see my man. Oh my God.

No, no, no, I'm not going into the story. I'm so much in bed. Do you want me to? No, no, no. I think I'll leave you half too. Just because you buggered up. But first though, Snoop, you see my man in bed? You see his bed?

Do you dye? My hair? Do I dye my hair? No, my shit, silver is a motherfucker, I'm telling you, hold on, let me show you. Okay, look, you gonna make him feel mad comfortable. Let's make some noise for EFN. How about somebody else in this game? Yeah, yeah, yeah. My shit, silver is a motherfucker.

Okay, Snoop, I'm sorry, because he brought it up. It's only because he brought it up. No, I didn't bring it up. My hair style is the one we wear just for me and some shit. I'm like, I don't fuck with this shit. I ain't gonna be painting my shit no different colors. Okay, Snoop, this is a story we ran on this park ass way too much, but it's fucked up because-

This is the last time we tell this story. This is the last time we tell this story. All right, this is my friend. Yo, this is the last time we tell this story. All right the last time we tell the story. All right. This is my friend. This is the last time we tell the story. All right. You're very serious right now. This is the last time we tell the story. All right.

Listen. And then I'm going to smoke your blunt you gave me. Listen, Snoop. Okay. This is my friend. This is one of my closest friends, right? He doesn't think he's petty. I'm petty as a motherfucker, Snoop, right?

You've been getting money since 92. I've been getting money since 92. I been getting money since 97. You way richer than me, god damn it. Makes some noise for you being richer than me. But, this is my friend, right? He doesn't think he's petty. Okay, his girl.

X. X girl. Went to the Cisco video, right? Okay. Da-dum da-dum-dum-dum. You knewong, that thong, thong, thong. You know what song it was. You know what song it was. It was a aye, aye.

Yo, yo, aye, Snoop Snoop. Baby. Aye, Snoop. Oh, Snoop. Yeah, aye, aye. Listen, I want you to ask, cause look, 50 already agree with me, right? But I wanna see if you agree with me.

He doesn't think he's petty. I said that he's petty all right his girl Went to the thong, oh excuse me yeah the thong song video She didn't go to it she was a part of it She was going to the thong song video and she asked him she said she told him i'm going to the thong You making up a story that you want to make up right now No i'm sorry snoop i'm playing with the facts okay

Drunk facts, drunk facts He found out his girl was going to going to the video and he cut her off. Was he petty or was he right? That's petty, though Now you want me to take the other videos she went to which one Everybody fuck with me. Come on She also went to the big pimpin'. Okay, one more video, so. Uchiwala.

Okay, and now, doing all this process, he texted me the other day, and he said, she also went to, come on. Your video, Norrie. But he cut her off earlier, that's just go ahead. He did make the right decision, Snoop. He did, because she, 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 dick 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. I care about this. EFN, thank you. You know what? Because the one thing about a player, right, which was told to me a long time ago, is 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 do

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 Long crib. Oh yeah. You want me to remind you of the time? Was it uh. The man show?

Yeah nigga. We was doing the man show. Yeah nigga with Jimmy Kimmel in there. Yes yes and I can't this little boy Jimmy Kimmel was Jimmy Kimmel. He was a little nigga back then. Yeah, he was a little nigga. Adam Carolla was the big nigga. Yeah!

He was the nigga in the passenger seat. He was the passenger seat nigga back then. He was still dating Homegirls, Superman? No, he didn't even know the bitch didn't do it. He didn't even know her? Damn! He was nothing, man. Wow. And what happened was, I went to see Snoop.

It was some crazy shit in New York. And then we went, and I went to LA, and he said, you come to Bishop's crib. And Bishop had already gave me a famous player card. I'm not going to lie, from the story of your girl, I can tell you never got a famous player card. My friend, I love you, man. Come on, let me let you. But it's a famous player card.

It's a gold card. With a serial number that's a given by you and you only. Yeah, to you and you only, I had that. And let's make some noise for me having to play a card. I'm just kidding. And the last time I see you, we was in Bishop Don Juan crib. So you invited me, and I'm not gonna lie That's the only time because see I'm a um a rosé guy. I'm a dim and that's the only time Bishop Don Juan

He has so much champagne more wet more wet. Oh my god the king of more way He was buying him a thirty dollars a case and get like yeah That's when we had the little homie that was getting that hook up. And I'm going to be honest, that's the only time I thought in my mind I smoked you out. Because you quit at one point. You don't remember? I do. You chilled. Okay, let's make some noise. I did quit. He beat me in New York and he beat me in LA.

It was a 20 second time out. Yeah, because I ain't going to lie. Snoop was looking at me like, cuz, you don't have to buy no more." And I bought every weed, every nigga that had weed in there, and they was doing a show called The Man Show. It was The Man Show. That's what it was. The Man Show.

Adam Carolla and Jimmy Kimmel. Yeah, yeah, I was there, my brother. ["The Man Show"] Just like great shoes, great books take you places.

but it's also not the end of your life. That was my dad reminding me and so many others who need to hear it that our trauma is not our shame to carry and that we have big, bold, and beautiful lives to live after what happened to us.

I'ma be honest. Let's just take it back. Your first album.

I'm going to be honest. We loved NWA 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 had came out and this shit was happening, and then the member, 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. P and then fuck the police came out and and I'm going to speak for me for me When that first time I heard first fucked the boat 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 Allen 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 gang banging, we realized this was something totally different and then 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 rolled for me, because I'm smoking. Yes, sir. Well, Deep Cover was, it was a situation where we was in the studio. But you remember the time period I'm 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 In the studio arm in the movie. That's how it was predicted Well some of some of the movie was you know, of course made to be a movie, but we want to know real life Actually, you know, there was a scenario where we were staying with dread his house the same little house that

You seen in the W where well, you know what a G things saying 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, Suge gonna call you and tell you what it's about. So when he leaves, Suge called 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 25, 30 seconds and then I want you to 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's 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 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. So I write the whole song. Drake come back. He listen to it. He like, I don't really like it. Um. I'm like, nigga, what? Fuck it. So he end up saying this he like, I don't really like it, I don't know.

I'm like, nigga, well, fuck it. So he end 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. 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. Okay. 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. It's a video. Yeah, niggas like, okay. And the first scene is, I'm like, scene. saying the last time you spoke to me say he hated it He he hate the record to this day We only perform that record probably ten times my whole life I got to see it one time. Shit the fuck out of here.

I've never beeped that. He don't like that record. 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 all shit. In my era, we kind of related to NWA more than what African Bambaataa and X Klan was doing at that time. I kind of identified with LA music, other NWA's more me. I'm just saying me. I can't claim the East Coast right now.

I got to claim me. And then that attention was voided but then out the blue comes this deep cover record because that was big on the East Coast deep cover listen I'm telling you I know it's bigger than in New York than it was in LA it wasn't really that big in LA yeah 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 that record was- See, that's the first record that I was ever on. So, you gotta understand, when it started getting big, people was telling me, man, that record, and that's when Yo MTV Raps, motherfucking Fab 5, Freddy, and then they had straight Dr. Drake We made the motherfucking countdown nigga, that's when I knew it was popping If you get on the countdown countdown was different on nation cap man knock it off

If you get on the countdown over there on the East cuz it wasn't number dies effect videos EPMD It was niggas. It was all heat, 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? When was the moment that you knew,

like nigga, I made it? Cause in the movie, in the movie, right? Let's just knock this out because I'm going to be honest. When I looked at it in the movie, in the movie, right? 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 Sugar Knight jumped up, I was like, yo, tell this dude to get out of here. And you was like, nah, I like the beat cuz,

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? No, 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 was Warren G in the scene. 2-1-3? OK, that was Warren G. OK, 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.

Right. And he say something about the way I'm talking and I'm like, well nigga, who was you in? He like, well hold on. And it's like Dre like, wait a minute. He like, nigga, he here to do music. And then they put the music on and then when the music come on, the nigga start busing, you know, one plus one equals two. I'm the company, this the artist,

let me go ahead and get a relation. I like this nigga, cause he got hard. I like this nigga, cause this nigga hard. So it was like, like I said, steel sharp and steel. Nigga, there wasn't no busters, wasn't no punks, wasn't no weenies, no bowin' down, none of that shit. Yo, I ain't gonna lie, that shit just made my day just now.

So I wrote that motherfucker on 10th and Line, 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,

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 now I got to... This is after Aftermath?

No, this is before. No way before Aftermath. This is after Roofless. This is when hemath? No, this is before. No way before Aftermath. This is after Ruthless. After Ruthless record, yeah. This is when he leaves Ruthless. Before y'all hear about the conflict with him and Eazy, this is when they trying to figure out how he gonna leave. You ain't recorded this record yet with Eazy. He ain't even left yet.

He trying to figure out how the fuck he gonna 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 Kodi and some other shit. Hold on, talking about the pill lady? Yeah. She got everything.

Everything. All right, good to hear. All right, good to hear. Burp control, BB pills, everything. She got burp control and tooth pills. That's what was up. Leukemia, everything. Man, she kill your leukemia. Everything. She got burgatron and two pills. That's what was up. Leukemia, everything.

Man, she killed your leukemia. She got everything, man. Believe it. So she gave me this tea and a couple things. I take them, man. I'm good. I'm like, woo woo. So I go pee in the bottle not knowing that I'm going to test dirty because these are

prescribed drugs that have not been prescribed to me. So when I give my test back to probation officer, like you know Mr. Broaddus you got a dirty test, I know you ain't doing no cocaine because it ain't cocaine. Because I'm a drug offender, as a register as a drug offender now. You can't be around and none of that shit.

So he says, it says that you have codeine and what happened? I said, man, I had a toothache. He like, well, I'm gonna take you to the judge and see what the judge say. The judge was like, you violated three months. 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. I apologize. Man, you retracted a petty cover. I retracted my petty in that too. You know I love being petty.

So now let's take it to that first album. OK. So the Chronic album happens. How much does the Chronic sell? Shit, about $5 or $6 billion. That's all I like, man. You're already on tour. No, that's the thing.

We didn't go, we did a seven day tour for the clinic. Run DMC, ghetto boys, and Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg. That sounds crazy. And that motherfucker lasted seven days because on the seventh day of Christmas, my true love gave to me all the bloods and the crypts that we had with us.

They niggas, no, 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 crypts together, we can't fight each other, but nigga, we for the fuck, y'all. And it was like, afterwards, we'd be in the hotels and shit, nigga, the hoes would come, a couple

niggas come, and it'd just go all bad. And by the seventh day, nigga, we was in my room chilling, I had a couple of females in there, and then Shug knocked on my door, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, put the TV on Channel 4. I put it on Channel 4, 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 that nigga shook. That's what 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 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. Wow. Make some noise for that. Woo. Yeah, G-shit, that nigga Shug Night was a cold gangster. Yo, Ron, can I get a five, Ron? God damn it, Ron. Can I shout you out? Come on, come on, Ron. Listen, we got a million people listening. I'm lying. We already got like four people listening. Four and a half, four and a half people.

You know what I'm saying? Ted Chung, everybody. What's the problem? 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. We are so honored at the drink champs. And let me just tell you something. He hit me and was like, nigga, you ain't inviting me yet, cuz, and I was like, yo, you know, it's Snoop Dogg.

Sometimes he forget that he Snoop Dogg. So when he hit me with that message, I was like, holy, I think I screenshotted this shit and sent it to you. Let's make some noise for Snoop. Let's make some noise for Snoop, god damn it, god damn it. So you did the Chronic tour, which was seven days you said. Yep, then we stopped. It was over with. Seven days later it was over. 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 flattened reckless to 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 had no money. Still didn't have no money. That was Dr. Dre's album. Wow. That wasn't my record. Remember I was work for hire. I was the pen, you know, the pen behind the scenes,

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, 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 themselves to get a solo deal. And that's what I was pushing for. I wasn't never 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 whole-hearted 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 Dogpump 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 gonna figure everything else once we get past this.

That was the first. Yeah, and what happened was I was so, so hungry. So, because I'm Totally sorry to cut you off, but yeah, I was all on that album, but it was the chosen one I wasn't the chosen one. I was the one that I was the one that worked Like then nobody so yeah, okay when you say warringy brung you out the studio was warringy was You say Warren G brought you out to the studio because Warren G was Drake's ass brother. Warren G was the plug. He was the plug.

Warren G was the plug with Connectionist, 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 really active. That's why he was able to put a solo record out without Dr. Dre, without Defro. Create the G-Fund. To save Def Jam records. Let's not get that part fucked up.

To save Def Jam records and get Russell and my 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 swallowed 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 three four million records selling on his own without without them niggas basically without us but with us because we were just behind the scene 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 stayed in the same house and then now go into this first album. First album got an apartment in Hollywood, one bedroom. We call it the dog pound, $500 a month for rent. I'm barely paying rent. What you talking about, in Hollywood? In Hollywood. Where this place at? I need this shit right now. We need a drink channel like that. Where this at?

$500 a month. It's in the center of Whitley and Franklin, right on the corner. Is it still available? It's still available. We need an office right now. We'll put a book right now, right now. Right now, right now, right now.

Right now. And then we're gonna tell them, listen, nigga, we're gonna be the next Snoop Dogg. I'm not gonna tell them. It's still available. But we can't, we're at Twina. We're at Twina, and Mr. Lee, we're gonna say this, itop Dogg. Listen, listen, listen. Still available. We're at Twina. We're at Twina. And Mr. Lee, we're gonna say that it's y'all, too.

Y'all the new artists. Because me and this nigga, we look too old. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. Nah, I'm talking about shit. I'm talking about shit. Okay, hey, just 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 you to take us to that first album. First album was heavy, man, because me and Dr. Dre was together every day. We would really ride together. We would be in the vehicle. He had a Benz back then. He would pick me up.

We would roll together. We would stay the night together. We were doing all kind of fly shit like it would be Two girls right I give you one scenario just because we personal like that And they didn't put this in the movie so I was like, I'll put it in my So we 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 now while we're 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 go on his side of the room, I go on 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 of the 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 right, you know, some of that shit was really happening And it was like it was translated into the music and then some of them records that we made on doggy style was just the song jeez and hustlers He said Go in there and mic check a mic check and what I might 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, alright, 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 Shiznet. So these are two records that I didn't even write, I just went in there and just, mic check, mic check, one, two. Hopping, stopping, hopping 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's just, it is what it is. Like one of the craziest records on mixtapes, because that's my claim to fame, mixtape DJ. Doggy style remix. I loved that record. When I was a mixer, 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. Man, that motherfucker never came out. Love that shit. Because I don't remember it either. Love that shit. Come on, break it down. Yeah, I mean it's it is what it's a remix and it's just it's totally different from the original

It is that shit hard as fuck the record is crazy You know, he's the only nigga that will remember that because listen, you know, he brought care s1 He brought care s, a bracelet from Jesus in 1431. Was it BC or AD? AD, AD. He remembers everything. 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. You going to studio cuz now death row is the shit right here. We poppin now We like we lightweight poppin the chronic got us Lightweight poppin cuz one thing is for showing two things to certain the East Coast wasn't really like fucking with West Coast entirely until My record came out like they were you're entirely true. Let's make some noise out. No, you're entirely true. Let's make some noise for them. Right? No, because you know why? We understood NWA, but then there was people in between y'all. But let's not forget the East Coast might be misrepresented because 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. 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, then flex don't jump up on them. Which was the problem for a while.

If Angie Martinez don't give you an interview, and Ed Loving, Dr. Dre, Fav 5, Freddie don't say what's happening to you. Nigga, if certain shit they got to happen, you understand me, or you ain't official like a referee with a whistle. And that's the- And we felt like that from the South too.

The South. Oh, yeah, yeah. 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, leave him alone.

Nah, he didn't say it. He did not say it at all. He didn't say it at all. He did, he did. He did. He did. Let me get away with all. 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 Source Awards happened. I'm going to be honest. I was in jail when the Source Awards came out. But, I have to big you up because one day I was in Harrisburg Pennsylvania and I go to the stage 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, Norrie don't fuck with y'all.

He said, y'all don't have enough money for him to perform. 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, y'all niggas look like I love Norrie. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Y'all niggas look like I love you, Nory! Y'all niggas look like I love you!

And everybody was like, y'all, nobody can do that, but I got that from you. But that moment, that moment in East Coast history, because we loved you, and we... That's why y'all didn't kill nobody. Just keep it 100, because we. Let's keep it 100. Because since we're gonna keep it 100, everybody always asks me about that scenario or that situation, but the truth of the matter is that a lot of lies could have been tooken

if that strategic play wasn't played. You know what I'm saying? Because there was a gangster, speaking of 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, you know, 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, you know, countries go to war, they always have a conversation. It's always two leaders or two motherfuckers that's gonna chop it up before they actually push the button and do they thing. Right. 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. But I knew it. Because of your confidence in which you said it, you was like, yeah I ain't got no flub. I was in jail like, that nigga know what he talking about. Nah, nah, listen, this is real shit.

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 came out by himself. He did have a yacadamine, but he did have a yacadamine. 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 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 loved you that's not 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 was EPMD and it was a Pete Rock and CL.L. 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 niggas. I was like, I'm gonna dress like these niggas nigga and come out here and fuck it up. And when I finished doing my shit, two 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. Cause these niggas came in the trailer and they're 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 speaking for artists

And what I mean by that is if you love me you love me, you know That's like 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 this Look you fucking my shit. I'm gonna perform and let me get the fuck out of here. Yeah, we won't. 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, Con. All right. Of course.

Of course. 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 gangster 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 reggae, don't you did Jamaican? Let's do it. Give me a high five. Rastafari. Rastafari. Rastafari. Rastafari. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, but it was, you know what?, Rasta, Rasta, Rasta, Rasta, Rasta, Rasta, Rasta, Rasta, Rasta, Rasta, Rasta, Rasta, Rasta, Rasta, Rasta, Rasta, Rasta, Rasta, Rasta, Rasta, Rasta, Rasta, Rasta, Rasta, Rasta, Rasta, Rasta, Rasta, Rasta, Rasta, Rasta, Rasta, Rasta, Rasta, Rasta, Rasta, Rasta, Rasta, Rasta, Rasta, Rasta, Rasta, Rasta, Rasta, Rasta, Rasta, Rasta, Rasta, Rasta, Rasta, Rasta, Rasta, Rasta, Rasta, Rasta, Rasta, Rasta, Rasta, Rasta, Rasta, Rasta, Rasta, Rasta, Rasta, Rasta, Rasta, Rasta, Rasta, Rasta, Rasta, Rasta, Rasta, Rasta, Rasta, Rasta, Rasta, Rasta, Rasta, Rasta, Rasta, Rasta, Rasta, Rasta, Rasta, Rasta, Rasta, Rasta, Rasta, Rasta, Rasta, Rasta, Rasta, Rasta, Rasta, Rasta, Rasta, Rasta, Rasta, Rasta, Rasta, Rasta, Rasta, Rasta, Rasta, Rasta, Rasta, Rasta, Rasta, Rasta, Rasta, Rasta, Rasta, Rasta, Rasta, Rasta, Rasta, Rasta, Rasta, Rasta, Rasta, Rasta, Rasta, Rasta, Rasta, Rasta, Rasta, Rasta, Rasta, Rasta, Rasta, Rasta, Rasta, Rasta, Rasta, Rasta, Rasta, Rasta, Rasta, Rasta, Rasta, Rasta, Rasta, And I tuned in and tapped into what I was. Right. 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? Like the weed nowadays is so strange. You have to go to Timberley Gardens. I went there. To get, I don't know. But then I had to stop myself. What a president, nigga. What a president. Because you went, dude, listen. Dude, that's my nigga. I went there. I don't know. But then I had to stop myself. What a president, nigga. What a president.

Because you went, dude, listen. I went to Doodle's neighborhood. That's what I'm saying, yo, yo, yo. To his neighborhood. Yo, listen, nigga. Yo, no. Listen, doodles, 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 check me to the garden nigga. And you had your own weed. The nigga said you hit they shit and then you said. Usually at night time man you need to go home. I said fuck that I'm showing up at night time. Yeah yeah that's right. I'll pull up at the night. And you damn showed up there. There was some uncomfortable parts that it looked like. Man, come on man. It was because see, you gotta understand, when you real and you expose yourself, when you put yourself in the people's face with no security, you gotta deal with them.

And a lot of times, motherfuckers don't be mad, they just be frustrated and they be venting. So if I see a nigga- They wanna take it out on you. A nigga, one of the niggas, he loved me so much. He loved Tupac so much. And he just didn't know how to express himself. And he was trying to get me to come to his barber shop, but he didn't understand, I'm not here to see you.

I'm here to see dudas and them, cuz, so I'll do respect. I'm gonna check you before they do, because if they check you, you ain't gonna live. So I checked him for them, because the way they was gonna check him, it was gonna be an unpleasant checkin'. You understand what I'm saying? Like, if you got guests at your house, and somebody show out when you got guests, how you gonna do him, it was gonna be an unpleasant checkin'. Right, right, right. You understand what I'm sayin'? Like, if you got guests at your house, let somebody show out when you got guests.

How you gonna do him? Exactly. You gonna walk him in the back of the tool shed and give him some real good, you understand me, someone understandin'? That's what I'm sayin'. So, um, for... Just like great shoes, great books take you places.

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 call 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.

Listen to new episodes of Absolute Season 1, Taser Incorporated on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Binge episodes 1, 2, and 3 on May 21st and I want to ask you two pop on Death Row. How was that? Because you had just beat the Murder Trial, correct? Yes. You had just beat the Murder Trial. Yes. Pop comes to Death Row and then Murder was the case. Was that the first record y'all recorded?

Or am I mistaken? No, the first record. Is that the first record that came out? No, the first record that me and him did was America's Most Wanted. Oh, that's what I said in my mind. I'm sorry. What did I say?

You said Gangsta Party? Yeah, no. No, you said Murder Was the Case. Murder Was the Case, which is only him. Oh, there you go. I meant there. In my mind, I was saying some other shit. Drunk Facts.

I'm dyslexic, I'm sorry. He was my friend before he got on Def-Roy. Before that? Yeah. He was at that same Source Awards, didn't he? He wasn't there. We had a cutout billboard of him inside of a cell. We had cells and everybody was in the cell. His billboard was cut out in the cell. He wasn't even on Def-Roy, talked about being on Def-Roy.

We just did that as a symbol of representing him and fucking with him, because he was my friend. So that was a play that I did to put him in there to represent it. Wait, so you're saying he was your friend, so you're saying... I'm the reason why he was on Def-Roy. Oh, wow. I ain't ever heard that.

That's what I... Yeah. He was my friend, and my thing was, speaking with Shug, because after he had got shot, I had flew to New York like the next day. And it was like shit was going bad for me. And he had got locked up. And I was like, man, Shug, we need to put that nigga with us, cuz. How far back is y'all's friendship?

Poetic Justice Rap Party was the first night I met him. And then we became friends and actually MC Breed, rest in peace, was trying to buy some dope and I knew the nigga that knew the nigga so Breed got some dope from me and DOC and Breed was cool and Tupac and that's how we all became like a circle of friends. Crazy. Believe it. This is crazy. It's crazy. Believe it. This is crazy. That's crazy. I ain't gonna lie, I ain't gonna lie.

I got so, so a hip hop mode fan just now. I was just sitting, I'm a guy, I was supposed to ask a question at this point. Like I was just sitting there like, I'm just thinking like, brr. So, all right, boom. Now Pop comes here, he's already there. Y'all already doing what he doing.

These records come out. These records, let me tell you this so you know, all eyes on me. When he get out, I'm working on the Dogfather. So when he get out, my cousin Daz is like my number one supplier. Pick up Daz. Drey basically not really giving up music

because I think he on his way out but we don't really know what's going on. This is my thing to think he's doing cocaine in the bathroom. Oh, right. Don't mind that. Hey, thanks for doing it in the bathroom. So we working on my record so when he get out,

naturally I tell Daz and the whole crew, pot getting out, y'all throw Cuzz all of the music, get him right first. So he end up getting all this hot music, get him right first. So he ended up getting all this hot music because we was in the process of doing hot shit and then Pop brought a spirit to the studio that was different than anybody we ever worked with. He had a work spirit that was like this nigga could be in three different rooms at one time and making music and he would he would never listen to it. Like we was always, we would, we learned this from Dr. Dre, we would

make a song, we would listen to that motherfucker for a whole month. I mean, just back to back, 30 days, just listening to the same goddamn song, partying, inviting bitches all the way off the same record. And the song might not even come out. Yeah, and then it never come out. The nigga Tupac was like,

nigga, when we make a song, when we finish it, we ain't listening to that shit, pull another beat up, we doing another motherfucking song, you can mix that song, when we finish it, we ain't listening to that shit, pull another beat up, we doing another motherfucking song, you can mix that motherfucking, when you finish it, we'll listen to it. He was a factory. He was never about, like, even when we made one song, boom, the motherfucker, the last verse,

I'd be like, all right, play it back, we play it down from top to bottom, as soon as that motherfucker cut off, all right, give it to the engineer, pull the next beat up. Never did we listen to a song twice with that nigga. That's something that I learned from him that I take with me today, because I wasn't like that. I learned from Dr. Dre, I learned from my teacher.

They taught me how to- Different styles. Exactly. And another type of perfectionism. But Pac was on some like nigga, fuck that, we going, we going, we going, we going. How you think a nigga made three albums in motherfucking shit, months that's Gemini shit by the way that's Gemini I'm a Gemini

I'm a labor Don't know if it means anything, but fuck it, let's make some noise for the science. Yo Snoop, listen Snoop, I can't thank you so much. We gotta come to the point. You know what, in mid interview I just want to thank you because you know what, it's the first time artists, you know what I'm saying, like you know, it's running media right now. Like right now we are running DJs. And DJs. I'm sorry.

I gotta represent the motherfucking DJs. That's alright, that's alright. You always gotta have a Mexican around you. Listen, he's from LA. I'm from LA too. Salvador. It's same shit. I'm originally from LA.

Same shit, same shit. Yeah, I lived in Salvador. Pete Ellis dodged in the motherfucking house. So it's same shit Pete Ellis dodge in the motherfucking It's the first time you know you know this is what I believe cuz we know we got you got GGN Yeah, so now do you operate GGN when you're not there because we won't be in LA August cannot co-host GGN can we? Yes, we'll call because we're gonna be in LA August. Can I co-host GGN? Can we? Yes, we'll call because we're gonna be in LA August 27 through the 28 26 through 29

You you see me who you want you send us because we'll co-host together Drink champs come now. I saw that right now. No, I'm sorry. You know why? Let me just tell you something. When I say me, I mean. Me. Me is me is we.

Aw. Drink Champs. Me is we. We got mad sensitive. Familia. Let's just make some hardcore nigga noise. Yeah, nigga. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Yeah, nigga. Yeah, yeah. Whatever, nigga. Whatever, nigga. Yeah. Yo, but Snoop, yo, Snoop, it's no much more that I can't respect you because not only you was one of the most coolest people that I was supposedly like quote unquote had beef with, like you know what I'm saying, in the beginning of my career, but not only

that, but you continue to show your growth, your prosperity, everything you do is to uplift. And again, this walk that you and Game just did was so like, inspiring to me because it made me wanna go back to my own hood and do such a thing. And so again, I want you to touch on that and then I'm going right back to your music, because there's a lot more shit I want to talk about.

Well, you know, one thing that I do is coach football in my own football league. I was just about to say that. Snoop your football league. 13 years. Paul had a question about that. Yeah, we've been doing that for 13 years, man. This our fake sportscaster.

Come here. Paul, Paul, Paul wanted to, he wanted to big you up. Where you at, Paul? No, no, no. He wanted to big you up. Hey, Paul, what up? Didn't you say Kevin Garnett was going Paul? No, no, no. He wanted to big you up. Hey, Paul, what up? Didn't you say Kevin Gardner was going to? No, I said LeBron was coming to Miami.

I fucked him. Yeah, he said LeBron was going to Miami. He fucked off. Come here, you ain't in front of a baby. He said that eight years ago, nigga. He be like, that nigga's a genius. I did say that. I took you out to big.

Anyway, I wanted to say that was dope the way you was on Esquire TV and you did the Friday Night Tykes. Because he coaches his sons. And you did the Friday Night Tykes. Because he coaches his sons. And you did the Friday Night Tykes with Houston and California. Yes, sir. And you commentated the game for the Shorties. Come on, man. That's what I do. I told him that earlier.

Yeah, he really liked that. Thank you, dog. That's what I do a lot of times. It don't get a lot of... The shit like that don't get a lot of attention because I don't ever really want cameras around it because I do it for the love. I don't really do it for attention and try to make like what I'm doing.

I want you to come see all this great work I'm doing in the community because community work is supposed to be done regardless if it's the camera there or not. And what I've been doing with these kids, I've been building them and showing them how to, you know, live and go to high school graduate go to NFL go to college and do they think or what not to give them hope and we go to areas where the crime rate

Was really at a high level now It's at a low level and we getting gang members to you know Drop the guns and become football coaches and lead these young men So this is something that I'm doing that I don't really get a lot of attention for but it means the world to me to be able to do it, to do it 13 years of running. I got a kid that played in the Super Bowl last year. Years ago, you know, like I said, I'm originally from LA and I still got family out there that live in Downey right now actually. And my cousin Melissa, she's a teacher at Long Beach High. Oh yeah.

And she, this is years ago, she told me you came by, I guess an old coach of yours, still there. I met Mr. Collins. And she was just telling me how much you gave back to the children there, you came, you would come often, she said. Yeah, that's my mom's girl. You were like a regular appearance there.

That's what I do, I look out, you know, I try to come through as much as possible, because I like to let the kids see an example of what they can be. A lot of times when I was a kid, if somebody was considered a star, we'd never seen them. Like the era that we live in now, you see stars all the time. You know, when I was a kid, a star was way in the sky.

You could never just pull up somewhere and see a celebrity. You know what I'm saying? You had to be like somewhere special. And if you seen him, you wasn't gonna get no conversation with him. You weren't gonna get no picture with him or an autograph you just seen the flash of him so nowadays these kids don't understand that they get a chance to get up close and personal with these celebrities like myself and

it's our job to give them the information on how to be what we are or be better than what we are. Now me been waiting to ask this question the whole night. At one point, death row records was the invincible, the unstoppable, the unfuckable. And at that time, the artists at the height of that whole forefront was Snoop. How the fuck did that fail? Because we see other people, we see the cash moneys, we see the murder inks.

But Death Row just felt different because I don't't wanna say of the gang affiliation, but I'm gonna say because of the gang affiliation. Like, how did that feel? Like, when Death Row was Death Row, how did that feel, like, just being in that? I mean, it was a great feeling because we didn't have to be nobody but who we was. We didn't have to fake, you know what I'm saying?

We didn't have to try to appease nobody by doing what y'all do or what they do. We did what we did. We dressed the way we wanted to dress. We wore our hair the way we wanted to wear our hair. We rapped about the shit we wanted to rap about. We chose the music that we wanted to rap over. It was like it was a whole style that was unique to who we were and who we are.

And that was the fulfillment of it all that people loved and appreciated me for being me. That they didn't want me to be nobody but me. That was real. Let's make some noise for that guy. That was real. Let's make some noise for that guy. That was real.

That was real. That was real. That was real. That was real. Oh my god. Hold on. I've been wanting to take a pee for a minute. I'm going to take a pee for one second. You're drinking, see? See, when you smoke you don't need no pee break. I'm going to ask you, I'm going to ask you. Keep the podcast going.

Yeah, let that nigga go pee cause he got a little baby bladder. Let baby go viral. Baby bladder. I'm going to go next after he comes back. We cause he got a little baby bladder. Let baby go viral. Baby bladder. I'ma go next after he comes back. We'll wait for you, baby bladder. When he said the whole thing about NWA and then he went all the way to your album, obviously

there was a lot of dope West Coast albums in between that. One of my favorite, I think it's an all-time classic hip-hop album is Death Certificate Ice Cube. Dope as fuck. One of the best hip- think is an all-time classic hip hop album is Death Certificate Ice Cube. Dope as fuck. One of the best hip hop albums ever. DJ Poo put that together with Sir Jinks. What I thought was ill is when you went to Priority, I don't know what that situation was and you did all the reissues, EPMD, Death Certificate.

My first Priority. That shit was crazy. How did that come about? Well, I had talked to Brian Turner about re-releasing music on priority records and giving some new artists an opportunity to shine because priority records was a great piece of hip-hop that was kind of like unsung and I wanted to give it the normalization that it deserved and put some of those songs together on the compilation CD as well as see if I could find some new talent.

And Brian Turner was willing to give me that action to do that, and it brought a lot of awareness to a lot of music that people had never heard or people hadn't heard in a long time. And it just was a great look, it was a look of love. You know, I wanted to do something that I've always wanted to do. I wanted to run priority records and put it back on the map. And you should've lied on a lot of records

that maybe a lot of younger cats wouldn't have even checked out. Like, you should've lied on them. Because it said, I remember all the reissues that Snoop presents or whatever, and that shit was ill. Thank you, dog. Let's make some noise for whatever the fuck y'all was talking about. I don't fucking know. Yo, but Snoop, man, like-

Fucking asshole. Nah, nah, let me tell you something, man. Snoop is a real nigga. You know what the crazy thing is? I gotta ask Snoop, you know, when I ask all of our guests, because like I said, I think that we should have a hip hop flag, and every establishment that you ever go to, I think that this should be

something that shows, this is a beautiful hotel. We're not gonna shout out the hotel, unless y'all say it's okay. No, they ain't paid me. They ain't. But this is a beautiful hotel. We came down all the way to West Palm to make sure we see Snoop because Snoop is that important. Everybody else, you make them come see us.

But so, and what I'm saying is in certain establishments, they have flags. Shouldn't you think there should be a hip hop flag? Like wherever we go, like, you know, just to make sure that you're welcome there. It can be a nine star, it can be a one star. We need to come up with that flag in the hip-hop community, something that we can all agree. That's what I'm talking about. Let's make some noise for Snoop.

You recognize my pettiness. Something that we can all agree on that represents hip-hop and when we know that flag is up, we know we welcome. Hip hop will unify the world before anybody else. That's what I'm saying. Before race, before political parties, I think that people should run under hip hop. And I think that, listen, 50 was just on here last week and 50 endorsed Kanye West.

Is that correct? I heard that. I thought that was nice. Can you just... I mean, Kanye West can't be no crazier than that motherfucker Donald Trump. Can we go there? Can we go there? Can we go to Donald Trump? Can we co-sign, say on Drink Champs, that Snoop Dogg is also endorsing Kanye West? Yes, I'm endorsing him. Alright, Snoop Dogg is also endorsing Kanye West. Yes, I'm endorsing him. All right, Snoop Dogg is endorsing him.

Man, what a chick chick. But what does Snoop Dogg think about Donald Trump? Because you smoked with Donald Trump at some point. Yeah, I fucked with him once upon a time. You gave him ecstasy? I ain't do all that. LSD? No, I did his little roast. He had a roast on Comedy Central. Oh, OK. Oh, that's right. I remember D. Nah, I did his little roast. He had a roast on Comedy Central.

Oh, okay. Oh, that's right. I remember that. So I went hard on him, right? So, you know, I kind of was fucking with him till I heard some of his views and his perspectives. And that made me back up off him because a lot of the views and perspectives that he got are I have friends that represent those, you know, fastest in life, you know, whether they're Muslims, Mexican, whatever they are, and it's like that's... I love how LA people call them Muslims. That's so hard. Let's continue. That's fucked up how they like singling people out, and you know, we don't do that. We multi-culture. We fucks with everybody, you know what I'm saying? So if you start singing out, motherfuckers, you might as well single yourself out,

because you don't know who connected. You don't know who the plug is. That's a fact. Now, listen. Let me just point something out. This is how I know I'm not rich at all You see my roaches. This is my roaches right there. They're motherfuckers. It's a little less a motherfucker out of Snoop roaches. God damn it, this is how I know I'm not rich. Let me make some noise for me not being rich, god damn it. Snoop got, yo that nigga wrote, listen, you can roll two bloods out of his roaches. Yeah, my roaches is long kind.

So now Snoop, this is the craziest shit, man. I've been in the game since 1997, my first album. Yeah, and that motherfucker was smoking hot. The Royal Report. Man, please believe it. But what I'm saying is, sometimes I lose it. I don't wanna do this no more. What makes you, you just dropped a new album.

We didn't speak about that. Yeah, well you know what, I'm competitive. I'm competitive, a lot of times when my competitive energy always. Are you competitive against other people or against yourself? Because I think you're competing against yourself at this point. That's all I'm competing against myself. You know, it's like a player that, you know, continues to go to the NBA All-Star game

and he continues to make it to the championship. He don't have time to watch his highlights because he got another game to play, another season to get ready for. And that's how I look at my career is that I'm always preparing myself for the next game. I knew I was going on tour with me and Wiz, so I said, let me put together an album so that way when I'm on the road, I'll have a reason to be on the road. That's that easy for you.

Yeah, I could have went on the road with no album. And you just got Kobe Bryant high. Let's talk about that. Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on. He's stitching, man. Kobe, Kobe, my nigga, he texted me. He said, come on. high let's talk about that that's fucked up by they photoshopped the picture he come see the dog and they doing wrong like that you know Kobe my nigga my nigga he came over to spend some time with me on some afterthought as far as after his career

you got him high fuck it Snoop this is making noise for you getting a Kobe I we spreading the rumors Snoop we retarded over here you gonna make Kobe lose endorsements I gave him a car right a 66 Pontiac Paris 8

a Laker mobile that I had Snoop I need to be more friends with you cuz I want you to give me a car at some point I don't know what it is okay you to give me a car at some point. I don't know what It's okay. You can give me a New York, New York LA LA car at some point like 20 years from now It's okay, but I got you. Okay. You gave Kobe a car. I gave him a car because the car already smelled like bud No, it was it was a brand new. It was a 1966 Pontiac Paris City white interior yellow exterior purple top 1966 Pontiac Paris City white interior yellow exterior purple top you understand me with purpose Yeah, so I gave him this vehicle for 20 years of excellence for him representing the Lakers and giving us something to stand on He came out here red eyes. No

They photoshopped the nigga eyes, man. You know how they gonna make this shit. I think it was me who for the job did it. I'm fucking with you Snoop. Let's make some noise for Snoop. Fuck it. Listen Snoop. You guilty if you ain't even if you ain't innocent. Association by affiliation. Yeah, association by affiliation. Yo Snoop man, there's no way I can thank you man. You know what I mean? Dream Champ champs it's the first time you know rappers have took over media we are so excited and I'm sorry and listen

we the rapper in the DJ and we want to we come into LA on August 27th K-Day what's up with y'all so we're gonna set it up so that way they can do the GGN yeah we want to host we want to host and listen and you know what the crazy shit is Snoop? Well this is what we'll do whatever gas you send us you don't got to prep us we just send us to there. Yeah we never prepped. Out of all the shows I did on the GGN I ain't never prepped. I don't have no two nights of getting ready for the niggas. The nigga here, bring him here. This is the slow version of Drink Champs. It's got to be spontaneous. One thing about us as lyricists, as MCs, as you know, what we do, we flow with the motion.

And sometimes it's better when it's spontaneous. Because if it's going to be written in script, this shit is going to be fake. I'd rather go off script because that way you can talk about shit that ain't on the script because the script sometimes gonna allow you to talk about specific things but if you go off script and you go you know spontaneous you can get the in-depth interview that you really look for to make this shit real flying different. If everybody's authentic it don't matter like we all authentic about this shit. My friend. That's a fact, god damn it. Let me make some noise, god damn it. God damn it, god damn it. I'm not gonna lie.

Snoop, you one of the most, you're like, at the end of the day, brother, you transcended culture. 100%. And what I mean by that is, there ain't a New York nigga alive that was alive when you dropped, what was that?

That was your cousin. When you dropped doggy style, it's Puerto Regan shit. When you're Puerto, forget Puerto Regan. So when you drop doggy style, there's not a New York nigga alive that can't say that they are identified with you.

Like, while some niggas is crippin' right now in New York, it's because, I mean, I'm just keepin' it a hunny. I have to, it's because of you. And then, are you still out here kickin' ass? And I asked you, I asked you what makes you keep going,

and you said because you still competitive. Yeah, very. Like I hate to lose, and if I'm not. But you also keep venturing. Yeah. Like you did an album with Pharrell. Yeah. You did an album with Master P. Yeah, I did three albums with Master P

Three out you know when I left death row records I signed with no limit records, which was the hottest rap label in the industry when I signed with no limit records They was the hottest in the rap industry. They was the only niggas getting money in the industry niggas getting money in the industry. Right. So how was that? Let me finish. It changed the industry. Let me finish.

I got to say this because this is very important. Please, please. Puffy and them was rocking, but they wasn't getting no money like Master P was. And I had been around they camp, I had been around Def Jam, I was on Def Ro, I had seen all the niggas that supposedly had the money. Master P had the motherfucking money. True independence. He had the money. Master P had the motherfuckin' money. That was true independence. He had the money.

And you said that was three albums. I did three albums with him. I did The Game Is To Be Sold, Not To Be Told, and I did a movie called The Game of Life right after that. Then I did- Hot Boys, you did a movie with your mother. No Limit, Top Dog. Then I did Hot Boys after that.

Then I did Motherfuckin' The Last Meal. Then I did The Chronic 2001. That's when I got with motherfucking the last meal then I did the chronic 2001 That's when I got with Pharrell and but I put the East siders out put out the doggies angels You understand me. He showed me how to put business because I hadn't had a record label I was always talking that doggy style shit But I didn't have no record label masterpiece showed me how to put a label together How to go get money how to eat how to make money off my tours, how to make money off of movies, how to create a different lane for me to be seen differently.

He brought money to the industry, because I'm telling you the truth, niggas wasn't having no money. And it seemed like he didn't try to hold you in the camp. He was like, yo, go do your thing. He taught that niggas how to get it, man. Because see, rappers wasn't getting money, man. This is what I'm trying to tell y'all.

Niggas was getting gold chains, and you get a big-ass production deal or they spent all this money on your album and market But niggas wasn't getting no way out as money niggas on no limit Everybody on no limit had a house a car two guns and a bank account And then after that Just make some noise for that. Hello! Hello! Hello! Hello! Hello! And then after that, you, after, so you said three albums. Three albums from, I went from. Well, three projects. I went from Doggie Style, Murder Was the Case, Dog Pound,

Dog Father, Above the Rim, Outta There, No Limit, Game Is to Be Sold, Not to Be Told, No of there, no limit, gamers to be sold, not to be told, no limit, top dog, and last meal. I did three albums in three years. When you say out of it though, Master P bought out the contract when he was done. Master P went to go visit Shug Knight in the penitentiary and struck a deal because everybody else

was scared of that nigga. Everybody, that's when Shug Knight was the monster, the boogie man. Right, right, right. That's when he was the boogie man. So Pete went? Pete went to go see him. Struck a deal. Paid him, paid me, got my publishing back.

Gave me three albums, I did my three albums. Then allowed me to do the East Side deal while I was in the process of doing my last album. Didn't get no money. East Side was the East outer deal while I was in the process of doing my last album Didn't get no sudden was the TV TV. Yes didn't take no money from it didn't take no imprint from it East side is when sold a million records and my record label was off and popping You know what I mean? You know what I mean? You know what I mean? Yo listen, I knew this information but to hear him bring it down

and the way he's saying it I'm sitting over here like I'm back in fan mode I'm sorry Do you want me to get back in interview mode? Cause I'm still in fan mode I'm still in fan mode my nigga We always fans, we fans of the music guys So now You live in New Orleans, what you say,

about three years? I'm about to say three years. So now when do you start missing Cali? And then, and then. Now that's crazy you said that. Okay. Because when I first go to Baton Rouge, Master P tell me, nigga you can't go back to L.A.

So he basically put a wall around me, like nigga don't go back to LA But that's what them niggas was really still trying to get at me Okay, and you know I'm saying I was kind of leaking so it's so many words cuz I didn't really have my street shit right in The hood right so I went back in New Orleans and I stayed out there but by my time the second album came I started sliding back to LA like for two days here two days there and the people's like niggas stop going back I'm like I can't help it then that's when I started getting DJ Quake and all the other niggas that was a part of the second album and it started to

sound back like Snoop Dogg because the first record was south like a motherfucking right then the second one was getting more like Snoop Dogg. Then that's when I got Dre to give me Bitch Please. Pharrell gave me From the Church to the Palace. Then I did the third one, which was Motherfucking The Last Meal. That's when shit was like all the way right. We had Laylo, we had all kind of records that was sounding like Snoop Dogg,

which prepped me for the Chronic 2001 album. And then he knew I had to be back in LA because my flavor was LA. It was good that I could jump out of my habitat and get in this environment and adapt to any environment and be a chameleon. You understand, but at the same time, I gotta go back to where I'm comfortable at,

the zone that I'm, and that's where you start to hear those records start becoming more, you know what I'm saying, like the way they was supposed to sound. Wow. At what point all that is the C-Murder record that you did? C-Murder record was on the second album, No Limit Top Dogg.

What the mother niggas, cause I ride with my niggas. That's your shit, Juggum? What the mother niggas. Yeah, he made that record. Y'all been trying to, we made that record for 20 years. He made that record

cause the Death Row niggas was on the niggas. But originally, you weren't on that record originally Oh original originally, that's my record Without you though right no that originally was my record The version so that's what I'm telling you that record was made After some shit happened in LA and the death row niggas tried to get me, but there is two versions though Yeah, it is okay, but the version that you heard was the say after the fact version right? It's KLC did the original be okay the nigga that did move bitch

bit When I said you you you you you I'm gonna thank you again, god damn it. Come over here. Wouldn't ask So Snoop, we got the Mary Jane website. I'm going to the bathroom. Okay, we got the Mary Jane website. Yeah we do. We got the uh, Snoop. We got the GG, we got GG popping on Revolt TV and I got my own, you know what I'm saying, situation with them.

Listen, Revolt trying to lock me down. Should I go with Revolt? You know what you do? You get paid to play. And you do it and you keep it moving. They don't get everything. They don't get everything, they just get some of the things. Oh, I understand.

Thank you, thank you. Cause you're not going to puff everything, so you're going to get some of the things. This is my nigga, he say what I'm saying. Yeah, cause Puffy my nigga too, I want to be like, Nigga why you tell Norrie that you know her on camera? Cause I told you that too. Nah, that's my nigga too. That's my nigga too.

So you got GGN. And we're going to try to host that definitely drink chance. You is going to do it. And you know, I started that shit in the backyard somewhere, man, where it was just like. Let's talk about that. How did you start GGN? Yeah.

I was watching the news one night. And it came on. It was a murder. It was something. I was like, why every time the news come on, it's some bad news? I never seen the news come on with... Where the n***a got his dick sucked.

Or something beautiful. In the alleyway. So I was like, you know what? So I said, you know what? I'm finna start a news network where it's all good news, it's all fun, it's all comedy, it's all me. And we're from that to where it is now. That's a fact.

A real fact. That's reporting a nigga getting his dick sucked in the alleyway. God damn it. It used to be me, I've been married for a long time, for the space of me before I was married. God damn it. Yo, my nigga Snoop. Yo, come on, eat your thing, get your fucking ass out here.

You know best why lickers, they provided their liquor. We used to have girls here pouring the drinks. What happened? I don't know. What's wrong? You're too mad low on it, Snoop. I'm married too, but I don't mind having girls like eye candy. I'm just shopping, I'm not buying anything.

Sometimes it's good to love. So Snoop, you have never got tired of this lifestyle? Of the lifestyle I live? Nah, nah. I mean, not the lifestyle I live. That's a fucked up question. But I got tired of recording and doing the same process. That style I have got.

No, but you see, I became my own boss. So, being your own boss, you make your own rules. You play your own plays. And I don't do what they do, I do what I do. So I drop a record when I want, do a movie when I want, shoot TV when I want, do a shoe deal, coach football. You understand me, I do what I like, what I want to. It's like, it's not a script that's everybody else's script.

If I was in the world of sports, I would be my own sport. I wouldn't even be, I'd be a little bit of basketball, a little bit of soccer, a little bit of golf, a little bit of football. Like, nigga, what sport are you, nigga? I'm just that, I'm that sport, nigga, everything. All right, God damn it. This week's the largest stoop I've ever had. Oh!

Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Just like great shoes, great books take you places. Through unforgettable love stories and into conversations with characters you'll never forget. I think any good romance, it gives me this feeling of like butterflies.

Going through something like that is a traumatic experience, but it's also not the end of

your life. That was my dad reminding me and so many others who need to hear it, that our trauma is not our shame to carry and that we have big, bold and beautiful lives to live after what happened to us. I'm your host and co-president of this organization, Dr. Lea TraTate. On my new podcast, The Unwanted Sorority,

we wade through transformation to peel back healing and reveal what it actually looks like and sounds like in real time. Each week, I sit down with people who live through harm, carried silence, and are now reshaping the systems that failed us. We're going to talk about the adultification of black girls, mothering as resistance,

and the tools we use for healing. The Unwanted Sorority is a safe space, not a quiet space. So let's walk in. We're moving towards liberation together. Listen to The Unwanted Sorority, new episodes every Thursday 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 One, Taser Incorporated.

I get right back there and it's bad. It's really, really, really bad. Listen to new episodes of Absolute Season One, Taser Incorporated on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Binge episodes one, two, and three on May 21st and episodes four, five, and six on June 4th. You listen, this is real shit right now. Okay, Jenna Juice. You had niggas in the East Coast.

Your niggas was getting drunk on that shit, huh? Yeah. How did this concoction, this collaboration, collaboration. Gin and juice collaboration happened when a nigga was a young nigga, 17, 16, really didn't have too much money. We used to buy Seagram's bumpy gin, bumpy face bottle, and we used to get a, it was a drink called Super Socko. And we used to make Super. Let was a drink called Super Socco. And we used to make super.

Let's break down what Super Socco is. Nigga, Super Socco was a soccer drink, nigga. And it was like a lemony flavor. You can look it up on Google, nigga. Look it up. It's my cousin. He play soccer. Nigga, look that up, nigga.

Look it up. A soccer. Look it up. It's Spanish. Super Socco. Look it up in Spanish, nigga. Super Socco was a mix that we used to mix it with. So it gave it a different kind of lemony flavor.

And then we went to orange juice. And then once we mixed it with orange juice, we started doing gin and juice. And then from gin and juice, it became a record because it was like, we heard the old song, Half Dead, used to always sing old songs and he would put new words to it so the song was uh,

walking down the street, watching ladies go by watching you. So he took that and put, rolling down the street, smoking hindo, sipping on gin and juice. And so he did that but then we got David Ruffin Jr. to actually sing it on the album let's make some noise for Snoop Flossin on us just got that that shit is real

what do you think about the song that's the fact checker yeah but they got it in the bottle too, see what it look like in the bottle that's it, you found the brand that's Hazardous Sounds he's called our fact check brand that's the hazardous sounds he's caught off that that nigga found facts In the bottle they do Know we're like the black Howard Sterns

Excuse me other black Latino Howard Sterns come Latino to God damn it of course We all together man So it has you still you still you still looking for that You guys let me say like Gatorade, but no like this like glass bottle This is like from the 80s look in the 80s Let's take a student a school back to the 80s you are prehistoric No, god damn it. Let's make some noise for still being prehistoric You are prehistoric, Snoop. God damn it. Let's make some noise for Snoop being prehistoric.

No, you know what I respect though, I told Dame Desk, that motherfucking Paid It Full was one of the most gangster movies I ever seen in my life. For one reason, because I was a drug dealer around that time. I never was like money-making Mitch and them, but I always wanted to be like them niggas. I was that little nigga that was getting it on the plot. And to see a movie like that was so motherfucking inspiring and so, so death-defying to see that relationship and see how cutthroat that shit was. And it really was like that in real life. It was a great learning experience too to watch that movie for the educational reasons as well. And to relate to it.

And you know what, you know, your cousin Dask, which I love, he sat here and he said he wanted to do Colors Part 2 in New York. And I really needed to direct that movie. I just wanted to throw that out there just so you know next time you see him. I'm fucked with that. That's big. Bring Sean Penn back. Listen, I want to direct that because you know what?

Daz was the most genius as shit. Like I looked at Daz and you know me and Daz, we just get high together. When he said that to me, I was like, this nigga way smarter than me. I was like, nigga said I'm gonna do Color Spark 2 and I was like, what? He said, but in New York.

I was like, Jesus. Nigga, I'm gonna buy that movie. Like let's say, whatever I gotta do, let's do it. So let's just. I'll negotiate, I'll negotiate. Because let's negotiate. So let's negotiate. Because. Mind you, Daz has been the only guest that's been on here twice.

But, but, but, Snoop, so let me ask you. So what that being said, like with gangs being, it's origin being from where you come from. And now, I don't know if you know, but how big that shit is in New York Miami And everywhere did you ever see that or? But gang a gang is like hip-hop right It's fun. It's exciting. It looks like it's easy to do you can do it with your friends, right and it becomes

something of representation of who you are and it's a replication of who you are so it's supposed to travel supposed to go from city to city just imagine if hip-hop would have stayed in the Bronx right you would have never got it I wouldn't never got it it wouldn't win nowhere so broke niggas right exactly so gangbanging is supposed to spread it's supposed to travel because it's just like it's some great shit in gang I think if somebody wanted the easy travel guide to how it all spread listen to some of the patient from ice-cube Oh, yeah, that's that's one of the perfect

I was like the booklet of the history and they just setting up shop and one of those cities He'll did with that you go to a city where you know niggas is not as fast as LA Yeah, but they will, they influenced by it. They love what they see. Because LA, remember, there's movies that's been made on us, like from Colors to Boys in the Hood. So we have the perfect blueprint to what it is to be a gangster. So when you have a gangster from LA come to your city and impress you and show you what

it is and give you the rules and the regulations It's easy to influence others and to make them pick that culture up and make it theirs Just like hip-hop hip-hop was born and bred in the Bronx, but it made it way It's made its way all over the world everywhere when they got to Long Beach I grabbed a hold of it and I wanted to do that more than gangbang. So Eventually, it's gonna do the same thing. You know, hip hop will move in again and overwhelm gang banging because the people that ain't from LA where it originated from, they're a couple of years behind with

the gangbangers. So they'll understand that we at the point that we know how to converse, we know how to communicate. Bloods and Crips hang out and kick it. So once they get that part, then they'll understand that it's really a real brotherhood. And I'm seeing that with all these marches and you see them, Bloods and Crips all over the world tying their rags together because they following what they see us do. And we lead by example, so if we put the right foundation

now, they're gonna walk the great path. But do you think that like hip hop, if us come to, this is what I've been preaching on this podcast, I think this is like our 23rd episode. 23rd. Nah, this will be our 23rd. 24th. This will be our 24th.

23rd or 24th. This will be our 23rd. But what I've been preaching is, hip hop should register as a race. What I mean by that is, you know, we might not win as a black race, but there's people like Martin Shkoskrel, that people who feel like they're part of hip-hop but they're

not being a part of our race. You think that is that something that we shouldn't like as hip-hop? Well, hip-hop don't have a race to it because it's a feeling. Exactly. You know, it don't have no color to it either because it's all about the feeling. It's been some motherfuckers that I have relationships with in hip-hop that got more sold than the average nigga you could expect. And they skin ain't nowhere near Dark as Mark. So I just feel like you write about that as far as it should be some sort of membership or some sort of, you know. Yeah, because this is what I'm saying. I'm sorry to cut you off because people get,

they want to kill me when I cut my guests off. But what I'm saying is, is sometimes it's like a nigga like, let's just say Nate Dogg, God bless his soul. Yes sir. Say if Nate Dogg was still alive, and then something happened to Nate Dogg, we should be, it should be a union that's already established already to take care of him like a sad working option have its own set yeah

that's that's what we were speaking about dog what you think about that I love that idea and I love the fact that we even can speak on that because we got the platform and and we're not speaking like if we were broke niggas this conversation will be fucked up yeah cuz it was sound like we could sound like we hate it we man but niggas ain't broke would be fucked up. Yeah, because it would sound like we hate it. Yeah, we mad. But niggas ain't broke here. We okay, let's make some noise for us being okay. Yeah.

That's it. Well, actually, what we are with a voice for those who can't speak. Exactly. You know what I'm saying? Trying to provide something for those who don't have or may not have the opportunity to continue to be successful so as to be some step,

paved the way for them for their hard work and dedication. We just like the NFL and the NBA. God damn it. We should have a union. To me that's easy. We just don't have a commissioner or anybody to answer to and that's one thing that I don't think we need because that's the only thing that I see fucked up about the NBA and the NFL that they got some motherfucker to answer to that ain't inhuman, you know what I'm saying?

So it should be on the level playing field where we all agree to disagree, and we commission ourselves, and we boss ourselves. I don't like answering to nobody. I got a problem with that, especially if you don't know more than me, if you ain't positioned better than me. I really got a problem with answering to you.

But if hip hop unionized, we would be a voting bloc. I get that part, but it's gonna have to be somebody that's in control. Russell Simmons is a great guy, but it ain't him. But Prodigy didn't like the idea of that. Do you remember his argument for that? Prodigy. No, I'm sorry, Havoc. I keep saying Prodigy. Havoc. Havoc didn't like the idea of that. Of what? Of us unionizing or.

You're not, that's because he's retarded. Listen, the thing about it is this, listen. Listen, you should. He didn't have an argument though, he had an argument. The thing about it is this, this is what we all need to do. Listen, this is what we all need to do.

We all need to have each other's back, right? Because at the end of the day, Snoop, listen, my grandmother know who Snoop is. I have two grandmothers who know who Snoop is and they both dead. But they still know who Snoop is. That's a fact. Make some noise for that. I don't want to even laugh at you.

Shout out to grandma. All grandmas get to know her. They both knew who Snoop was. That's a fact. That's a fact. That's heavy. Right? So what I'm saying is, all right, but maybe both of my grandmothers know who Coolio is. Maybe both of my grandmothers know who MC Hammer is. Maybe. Guess what? I'm not throwing anything at those brothers, but I know Snoop is okay. Hello. those brothers but I know Snoop is okay. My other grandmothers don't know if

Hammer, Coolio is okay. Shouldn't there be something that says when they're not okay. Yeah that's what we talk about. We come in and we say Slime you sold 30 million records you put your fucking money in the G-string, you fucked up. But we got you. And not only them, but people who like, who's the real rhyme niggas, you know, the exhibits from L.A. and the motherfucking, the true lives in New York and shit ain't never work out it should be a program to take care of. Yeah you right. Am I bugging Snoop? No you got the right

hip-hop mind it's just a matter of who can actually execute that great plan. What organization can help us? That plan is excellent that's an awesome plan but who can actually make that plan come to life it really see to it because like you and they got a seat to it that it could be all of you it got to go cuz that's that's all on you too much it was too much that's a lot man my shoulders I don't insurance and you can do everything that shit. I'll bring it to the meeting. But that's what I'm saying.

In a hip hop concert, as long as somebody, as long as we try to bear something together, because at the end of the day, we got to keep working. If you're not working, then you shouldn't be involved. We don't want to take care of the people who's lazy. We want to take care of the people who dedicated their lives to 15, 10 years and they still got to struggle to pay their rent. Dumb dudes should be taken care of. The dudes who take the pictures. The dudes who engineer.

Anybody that's an actor, you could be a B-roll, you could be a... But hip hop, we need a sag. That's why I think sag is a perfect model for what could happen in hip hop. Right. Somebody just gotta put that thing down, man, you know. It's a great idea, but you know, one thing about niggas,

man, we don't believe in what we hear. We believe in what we see. Right. So what's the next thing for Snoop Dogg right now? Right now, we know you had every liquor in the universe, you had every slipper in the universe. I bought like $19,000 worth of slippers. He started the slipper game. Let's just be quite honest here. So what's next for Snoop Dogg right now? Let me get your roach over there.

Let me get that. He needs a roach. Hook him up. Which one of these? I was going to get that. I'll take this one. That's OK. Get it.

Want some McCarty? This nigga roach is my whole blunt, just for the record. OK. What's next for Snoop Dogg? Oh, oh yeah, I got an artist named October London You forgot this nigga name, let's make some noise for him Where is he from? This nigga from Indiana, this nigga is a rebirth of Martin Luther No, I heard you on moguls, you spoke about him already, you didn't forget his name

This nigga is special man, this nigga is special So he got a song called Black Man in America that we're about to drop in about two days. It's a heavy record. He got a mini movie I just shot on him. Just trying to do my thing. Me and Jazzy Faith, we doing that together. It's called Cat Like Music.

Jazzy Faith brought him to me. It's a collaboration with me and Jazzy. God damn it, man. Snoop is doing so much. Listen, man, we're gonna do a movie together. Yeah, we need to. I told you that. I told you you're a hell of an actor.

You're the shit. I love your acting, nigga. No, no, this is my name. Every time I see you on screen, I'm like, this is a bad motherfucker. He don't even know he a bad motherfucker. And listen, listen. And he acts mad normal.

He don't know he a bad motherfucker. Do you know in New York that Ciroc is like the ultimate Crip drink? For real? Do you know that? Yeah. Well, I mean, yeah. Look, look.

It's Ciroc with a C. Automatic sense. And it's blue dye. I don't know if you know that. I ain't know that. The Crips. I think you should just take a sip before you just in for the Crips in New York.

Just because, you know, best buy. Look at this coffee. I'm gonna have to call Puffy and see if he got a few dollars. I thought you knew that. You didn't know that, Snoop? No, I didn't know that. Yo, Corrupt came in here and he wilded out over here, right? Let's make some noise. Corrupt came in here. Corrupt still be drinking. I don't drink like that.

Corrupt did. Corrupt. He didn't do that. Snoop, Snoop, Snoop, but you did drink a couple of drinks with us. For you, I will. He did. He does. But you did drink a couple of drinks with us. For you, I will. 50 took five shots. He did, he did drink. He drank two cups. 50 took five shots? Or am I lying?

So this is the last question Snoop because you did

everything we asked us to do but listen Snoop I've never seen listen I'm on my seventh life. You're on your 27th life, which means I've seen you transition, seen people count you out, seen people do that, seen people do that to me like 17 times, you're on 27. I'm following you. How do you continue to stay here

and say this is what the fuck I'm gonna do? Um, I made myself a boss. And I'm just gonna tell you the truth. It's like when I first started making money, Jimmy Iovine came to me and he told me, say, buy a studio. And when I bought a studio, I was able to create. It was like buying a sack.

And instead of buying a sack, I bought a factory where I was the sack. You get what I'm saying? So you have to, whatever you love, you got to be able to surround yourself with it. And when I surrounded myself with what I'm saying? So you have to, whatever you love, you got to be able to surround yourself with it. And when I surround myself with what I love, the spirit of what I love keeps me doing what I love. So it's never, why am I doing it?

Do I ever want to stop doing it? This is all I know how to do. So I'm going to keep doing it and I'm going to do it to the point to where it feels good to me. And it's never, all this old nigga need to sit down somewhere. It's like, Uncle Snoop, when you come in with some old shit, you know the transition is from young MC, BG, OG,

Uncle Snoop, that's a beautiful transition for me. God damn makes a noise. Ooh. Ooh. Ooh. Ooh damn makes some noise. Yo Snoop, there's no other way I can say anything else but thank you. Thank you for sitting down with us and you're gonna keep, he gonna keep smoking, we gonna keep talking man. Yeah, it's motivation.

So listen Snoop, so listen Snoop. I was trying to hold this out. We call this a Cuban goodbye, by the way. No. This is called Cuban goodbye. We never leave, but we say goodbye. Listen, how much pussy did you get there in Doggy Style? Let's just keep it real.

Even if you ain't fucked a pussy, you just got the pussy and you send it off to the other people. Come on, Snoop, talk about that pussy, god damn it. Doggy Style album. You know what? The pussy that came. You know what god damn it. Doggy Style album. You know what? The pussy that came.

That's how the shit went down, man. And one thing about me and my play game, when it come to me and the women when I was out there, I was really fashionably suit for the game, man. Once upon a time, I walked a red carpet, man, with two bitches on a leash, man. This is documented, man.

I said leash man the red carpet man with two bitches on the leash and they didn't say one fucking word I'm talking about this shit is documented man somebody pull up that picture or that footage of Snoop Dogg with two bitches on the leash. Somebody please pull it up. Do we have any... You want a WIFI house? Listen, you have to mind our manners. We have no manners. Do you have any Prince or Michael Jackson stories?

Yeah, you got Howard. And I know you got Prince stories. Yes. You see, you see, you see... I mean, they ain't really worth telling, man. I had a different kind of relationship with those two guys right there, because it was more about the mutual respect that I had for them as musicians, to where I kind of like it.

And if I was around them niggas, I would put my weed up and have that kind of respect for them. Snoop has never put his weed up. For them niggas. For them niggas. You did? Let's describe that situation. Who'd you have more respect for? If you had to pick?

It wasn't like it was more, this is why I have respect for this motherfucking pimpin'. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You're not gonna pimp it. Get a close up of it. Get a little closer, nigga. You see that? Two bitches on a leash and they didn. Get a little closer, nigga. You see that? Two bitches on a leash

and they didn't say a motherfucking word. Nigga, we walked to Red Carpet and they was like, so, what is your mom gonna say? I said, the bitches ain't gonna say nothing, so you're not supposed to stop asking. But look at what they look like, though. Is they some bad bitches or is they some trash hoes? Somebody's right there.

These bitches didn't even have bras on, man. I think that was the MTV Awards or something and they couldn't believe how a nigga went up in there man I fell up in that motherfucker like that that night with a leash man and then when I sat down guess what I made the bitches stand up with the leash on while I'm sitting down reverse dog because you know normally you make the dog sit down bitch stand up the dog gonna sit down and the bitch gonna stand up. That's called reverse dog.

We heard of reverse pitman. I made a reverse pitman for Prince. We've never heard of reverse dog. Let's make some noise for reverse dog. That's when you take two bitches on a leash, you walk them down the red carpet, and when you get to your seat, you sit down and you make them bitches stand up in the app. We puttin' that on TMZ.

It's just a matter of they have to understand

that don't let the drug do you. You understand I'm saying the way you can't be in control no more. One thing about my era, when I became a rapper, I was an ex-cocaine dealer. So my mission was to get rid of cocaine and to bring weed to the forefront. So my mission has been accomplished
