I meant if I gave the white girl. She drew the whole cartoon on the inside of the album cover. Yeah, she did for M.S. In my school. Did she get in trouble? No, she did. I took that shit. I made her do it.

It was hard, though. Who did that artwork? My cousin Joe Koo. Hell, you did a couple hours ago for you. Yeah, last film. You know one of my favorite... One of my favorite independent movies of all times is fucking East Side of me.

You fuck with that? I fuck with that shit hard, man. You got a cop got a salt. The Wash? The Wash? Nicket? No. You watch the fuck out of that shit.

I'm glad you said that. We're gonna make the Wash a TV series. No cap. That's the word. I'm gonna tell you. I'm gonna tell you what. And y'all names have popped up. Oh, that's dope.

I swear. We're in it. I can't make this shit up. Your name's have popped up. Oh, yeah, let's do that. Don't care. That's just pop up in the credits. Amen.

You don't just talk about it. Do you about it? I got it. What was the name of that movie you did when you was living in that apartment with that white man? Oh, the tenants. The tennis. The tinnies. Oh, that one.

That scene when you were in that motherfucker dancing, Nick, I said, look at Snooplin. He was in his door, like, you just took over the white man, the pot man was in. You understand, me? Knocked this, yeah. You know what I did your thing in? What's that?

Bones. Bones hard, man. What? I ain't seen every nigga movie. I probably say, oh, your motherfucker movie. Bones was crazy because, look, after I do it, why James Brown come see me? The James Brown.

What is he pulled up? He pulled up a movie. We do like a three-hour conversation, just me and him talking. He's telling me about how good the movie is and how I'm going to become the hardest working man in show business and how, like, he's seen the future for me based off of how I'm playing in this movie because I had to clear the music from him.

Right. Because I used a lot of his music. So he was like, I'm seeing who you are past this movie. So when we was chopping it up, he was just basically telling me you're about to be the hardest working man in show business. You're going to get TV deals, movie deals, endorsement deals, branded deals. Look right now.

No cats. Oh, right. James Brown's gay. And for the future. So you brought up, you brought up a legend. I was always gonna ask you though, how did you initially get with Charlie Wilson? Like the first time you're linked up

because the shit y'all do when y'all get together is fucking crazy. That's crazy, but he know I love telling this story, but it's truth. Right. I had a doggy style was out, and I'm riding through Hollywood, and I go to a gas station one night.

And I'm at the, I think it's the A&PM. And I get out to, uh, go in the store to grab something. And it's a nigga standing right by my gas tank. Right. And he's like, let me pump your gas for him. I'm like, oh, I'll be out of the minute, homie, hold on. I come back out, he pumped my gas. I gave him like $10 and I look at him.

I'm like, damn, Cud, you look familiar. I'm like, you Charlie Wilson from the gap bin? He's like, yeah, man. Doing bad, man. I'm out there, you know, smoking. So he was down on his luck. So I gave him a few of him. and I'm like, I'm gonna try to get you right.

So speed the clock up a couple of months, Val Young, Lady V. This was like our home grill that was with Rick James and all of them. So she's like, Snoop, I can get Charlie Wilson to the studio. So I'm like, bring him. She brings him to the studio.

When he come, he got a lady with him that's his like drug counselor. And the first thing she say is, I need to talk to you, Snoop. Pull me to the side. She said, If Charlie comes in here to work, y'all can't have no drugs running. No weed, no cocaine, no nothing. I'm like, that's going to be hard because we smoke.

Right, right. But out of respect that you asked me, we're going to do that. So we put it to the side, brought him in me and he sung a couple of songs, and he kept coming back, kept coming back, and his counselor ended up becoming his wife and got him off of drugs and got him right. And we put him on the dogfather album, Snooks up side your head, dog father, Doggy Land.

DJ Pooh put him on bad news, travels fast. He was cleaning his life up getting his shit back right. And he ended up marrying the counselor and her son and up becoming his manager. And then Charlie ended up becoming like one of the biggest acts like the past. What? Hey girl, how you doing?

My name is Charlie. That ain't the one. That's name Wilson. That goes my baby. Oh yeah, I mean by all of them. You and Boss Lady. Goodness, gracious. When me and Boss Lady was having, like, turmoil,

he was my spiritual advisor. He was the one that helped me keep my relationship solid. Because, you know, a lot of motherfuckers get married and divorce and, you know, shit go bad. I've been there. You know, like, any relationship, you get to a point where you or either she gets dead. And Charlie was always, like, the fine medium

to be able to check me. You like, I'll let him go. Look, man. Right. what you got at home? You bullish you with all this shit, you get your ass on, man, quit playing. That's your wife, fuck out of here.

So he was that nigga for me. And he was so much of that person for me to wear. We was doing our TV show, Fatherhood, I renewed my vows on the show at his house. And she didn't even know what was happening. She just thought it was just like a regular episode. And we ended up surprising. He ended up singing, like, Let's Chill,

which is our favorite song, Teddy Riley played. So it was like a full circle of, Love ones. From the time I met him, to him becoming that spiritual advisor to my life. Y'all on a journey. You get what I'm saying? You get what I'm saying? Come on, man.

That's a brotherhood. Right. That's what we're supposed to be doing as brothers. We're not supposed to be watching each other pockets or watching each other's success. We're supposed to be watching each other's back. Right, right. Man, and for that to happen like that, for you to come up on him when he at a gas, they saw legend.

You know what I mean? For you to still view him like that and not see him as what he was at that moment, that moment speaks to your, you know, just your humbleness and you being the type of person that you are, because you know, a lot of people get egotistical in their success, and you put, was on top of the world at that time, and you could have been like, ah, look at this, nigga, that then fell off, but you didn't.

I've been like that though. From the moment I got in the game, anytime I'm saying somebody I like, or I loved, or I, like, idolized, I run up on him and tell him, what's up, I'm Snoop Dogg, when I love your shit. I met Muhammad Ali, I met James Brown, I met Farrakhan, I met all kind of great people that I initiated the, hey, it's Snoop Dog.

I'm a fan. Okay, okay, I'm a fan of this person right. You're with one of my favorite people, Martha Stewart. Oh yeah. I love Martha, that baby. Yeah. She that baby.

She's a little, yeah. Martha be saying some regular shit, but it sounds so damn sick, you're like, Martha, what is you talking about? That bacon baby. Yeah, he made that million dollar bacon. Oh my God. When she had the Instagram post

talking about when they put her pool up. Mm. You ain't see it? Nah. She had a thirt trap? Yeah, but she was like, yeah, it was a tight little hole, but it fit. What? Somebody pulled up Martha Stewart when they pulled a pool in.

That make a Loseby at the house fiend out of Martha Stewart. Man, Martha Be on that one street. Martha just had the Starbucks every known. That nigga lives in the house like this. All right, wait a minute, wait a minute. Martha just made the post on Twitter where all she had on was the Starboard's apron. I saw that.

More than innocent as y'all wanted to be. The trap is set. You help her get out of her shell and she was always right there. The trap is set. I'm gonna have to let her know the trap is set. Hey, tell her, come through here. We're locked in. All the way.

No, she, she, her own person. Like, our relationship works so well because she gets to be her and I get to be me. It's never like me trying to be that or her trying to be this. Like, you can be around people sometimes. I say it's a perfect example. You see a lot of people.

A lot of black people try to act white. What does that mean? That means, hey, how are you? What's going on? Pleasure to meet you. Right. And you see a lot of white people trying to act black. What's up?

My nizzle, what's it? Not this. That ain't, that shit with me and her. She is who she is, I am who I am, and we maintain our integrity by being unique and being friends and respecting each other's space. Right. Yeah.

I think that's how you move, who's so many spaces, man. You able to be you. You're going to be you. You're in so many different areas. Love. Everywhere. You're a Corona commercial. Man, forget.

Man, you're overseas commercial. Man, listen. You see that? You see me come out to refrigerator in Germany? Nothing. Listen. I see some shit. I see some shit.

I saw some shit. I saw some shit. I would come out the freezer next time. I came out of the refrigerator to the niggins some German shit. Please on leave on. I said, ain't none of these niggins in the mayor we're going to see this shit. They put that shit right on you for me. God damn that.

I see some shit that let me know you really the heart of me. The heart of me. working man in show business and I see you with some kids in a dog suit now we learn some new affirmations that we can choose and learn to say so if you need some motivation that help you have more of a positive day doong do affirmations I'm like this nigga snoop you don't see any conversation I didn't listen man that's just had me jamming but I was right around listening for the kids right for so many years right kids always be like Snoop dog Snoop dog I love Snoop Dogg and I never made nothing for them.

Right. So I decided to create a show called Doggyland, where it's strictly for kids from ages, six months to like seven, eight years old. And it's created with hip-hop Harry creator. So we created something that was designed for kids with my voice, my character. I'm rapping, I'm singing, I'm educating.

And it's popping right now on YouTube TV. I just wanted to do it because I got grandkids and then motherfuckers watch Cocoa Mellin and that shit all day. And I'm like, you know what? Let me put some flavor on this shit real quick. And the kids already love me, but I ain't gave them nothing. You can't sing gin and juice and all this other shit that I got, but they can sing affirmations and, you know what I'm saying,

ABCs and all these great things that I can teach from a perspective of. I went to school. That's why I'm so good because I have an education. I graduated. I didn't go to college, but I got to understand and all knowledge, and I went to school when I got that. And you got hysteria. Oh, snow cloaks.

Yeah. Is it that time? Play me some people. Pimper, man. We ain't started yet. We ain't even started yet. Play me some pepper, man. We're just doing some affirmations.

That's all. This is an affirmation. Hey, Josh, y'all. Love you, whoa, sure. Yeah. You got to play some pepment while snoo' had let the move get right. All the way.

Because, you know, we're already to name the tour of ghetto legends, and that's all we're gonna be bringing through the trap. And we got a, oh my God. We got a 10-time OG in here. Honey fair. Undisputed OG. Nope, speak on it. 30 years in the game.

No, no, no, no, no. Hundreds of millions of records sold. A pop icon, a movie star. Not only is he a rap superstar. He owns the label that gave him his first record in his Michael's circle. Probably a fucking billionaire at this point. The chief ambassador of the chief ambassador

Smokey, none other than everybody's favorite of Snoop Doggy Dog. As in Demolope, Dio, Dibble, D.O., D.O.G. No, cast. As in D.O.L.O. D.O.D., D.O.G. No, crap. As in D.O. Lopi, D.O. G. No, G. No, K.

You can literally quote this man's lyrics all day. Oh, my God. Like lessons. Put some Frenches up if you ain't got no motherfuckin'n't. No rob, I'll put some little bit of ass pucks up. Put him up. Put him up. He's done it.

Don't get my house. Don't, we thought you could really turn into him dope. No cap. For real. I thought you could turn it to do. Real shit. I was like, man. If he did that at the show.

I would lose my. The transition was too smooth. That shit, the graphics for the top. That's serious. This transition is smooth and fucking to that. that dope man. I can't worry about it. Turn into Caspian school, too.

Everybody turned into one. I'm like, niggas ain't with snoo turn it to. Now, I'll be smoking. We ain't listening to Snoop. You know? And I always wonder, how did you know them holes was leaving at six in the moment? Because my mama was coming back at seven.

Come on. So I had to make sure I got a mouse. See, I had a bitch in the liver room getting in the home. Get it home. You understand me? My mama wasn't home. If you watched the video, mom's told a nigga, look, I'll be back.

Don't hand her in fact. I have two girls up in here, and definitely don't have a dog gun in here. And so as she left, I bim, had them all up in there, but I had to stop watch on and say, hey, man, we gotta get up here. But then we stopped looking at the clock and we was partying the mama came home.

The mama came home. And Pop shot the party up. I want everybody out. Everybody. All right, we want to take it all the way back because everybody who's a real hip hop fan know that we got the Snoop Dog debut on the deep cover soundtrack. Like that?

Hell yeah. Yeah. What year was that? Shit, 91, right? What year was that? 92. 91, 92? May 92.

Got my hip hop historian in the house I was born. Say that. I brought him here for reference and dates and research purposes. He knew that. Yeah, nigg was young and fresh back then. Jumping it off with the deep cover soundtrack.

And you don't stop? Come on, man. Hey man, hit this shit. I think you five on. You've been dealing with you for two and a half once. You ain't hit this shit yet. Yeah. What you're saying?

What you're saying? Yeah. Deep coming. Hey, Nick pissed on lines, Fisburned shoes. He didn't even know I did I go deep on him right? Did I go deep on him?

Oh, hell yeah. Went deep on the movie scene like. Come on. So it's like, we saw you become a rap star and a movie star. And now we're seeing you become a fucking label owner. Right. The label that gave you your chance, man.

How you gonna pick that up and keep that to you? You know what, it was like, I've done so much in this music industry, it was like I have forgot about my legacy. Mm-hmm. I was so far ahead of it to where I was doing things and working with different musicians and spanning different genres. Then I had to think back to myself, I was like, damn, I don't own doggy staff. I don't own the dog father. In my first two records, that's like my two feet to stand, though. Right.

So I'm like, I gotta figure out how to get that shit back. So for many months and shit, I tried to position myself as a businessman to go try to work it off. Like, you know, the people that had it, hey, let me come work for y'all and, you know, position myself to get my shit back through labor. Right. And then they wanted me to be a whole. So, you know, the pimping, fuck y'all. I'm gonna go over here to Dev Jam and learn a little bit of corporate work because I don't know corporate yet. Right.

I only need a few months. Right. You give me a few months around the shit. I'm learning. I'm fast learning. drop a record, get Benny the Butcher sign, get hip hop Harry sign, learn a few tricks of the trade, find out that the niggas that had it

that wanted me to hold for him, then sold it to some other people. So now, one of my bigwig buddies called me and say, hey, dog, I know the people that got there from and they don't know what to do with it. Let me holler at them. I know just what to do with it. So I hit them in like, let me, um, let me work for y'all.

The play was cool, but it's like, eh, fuck that. How much, how much to buy this? How much to buy death row first? How much for my masters? I much for all of the masters. How much for sure of publishing? Give me all that shit. It's a stick up.

Ha! Ah! Let's go! Let's go! Now I've been following the play. So the first thing you did was took all the music down. Mm-hmm. It ain't up now.

Right. You got to pay to this shit. See, because it's a business, right? See, what niggas don't understand is that thing, that thing they call stream, right? Mm-hmm, mm-hmm. How much money you get a stream? Bullish.

Something cents? Point, something. Okay, so we want to restructure this shit. You get a penny point of a penny. That's what we're gonna do. We're gonna restructure this shit. I'm gonna pull it down. When I put it back up, you're gonna pay me a whole lot to put it up.

Then my number's gonna look different than everybody else is when they come back up. If not, I'll hold on to it and I create my own app just like Disney and Star. like Disney and Stars and Hulu. And 85, so you know, we got an app. Hello, and it will be a death flow app where you can get it here, and your membership and your subscription will get you all the access to it whenever you want to.

So however you want to play with me, I play back. Right. And then do you, what you're buying all of the masses and getting all of the music back, do you have stuff that hasn't been released? Oh yes, a couple of records that's released, and then I'm working with Tupac's estate right now because I got a great relationship

with the people that's in control of his estate, and we're doing some things together. And then Dr. Dre's chronic album, you know, that's back in his possession now. Oh, man. How that feel? How'd that feel to be able to do that? To like, to get the label back was the shit,

but to be able to break bread with the people that put you on, like, okay, this is yours cousin. And now next is to make sure, like, daz and corrupt and rage and RBX, make sure all of they publishing this shit is right and the numbers is squared away, because in the beginning, shit wasn't right, but we know what's right.

And now if I control it, it's my job to make sure that it's correct it, you know what I'm saying? Right. And that's what it is. Could you're in position to see what you did. Like you said, you're in no corporate. Right. You're like, still into this day, till this day in your time and your career, you're still learning in the game that you've been in. I came in a student.

That's the first thing I came in as a student. If you really watched my career, I was a student. I was studying the industry. And then when I got in with Dre, I was his, I was his backup. Right there with him learning. I didn't want the star. I wanted to make him a star. Listen to the chronic.

It was all about him. That's a lot of my penmanship, a lot of my direction, and mostly his production and his overseeing, but it was about him. It was about putting the energy in Dr. Trey. We all was about him like, fuck that. We want Trey to be the dopes ever. Then when it was my turn, he gave me that same energy back.

But then at the same time, I was in control of the pen for myself. So it was just a beautiful marriage. Did y'all know at that time when y'all was creating chronic and doggy style, did y'all know as you was creating it, that it was going to end up being what it was, ended up being, or did you just know you had something special? I think, like, that was like my first real experience, but Dre had been around Magic before.

He had been with the wrecking crew, EZE, NWA, Michelle Lake, D-O-C, water, ice cube. Like, he had, he knew what shit felt like when it was the shit. We was just, we was just some niggas from the hood that was like, nigger that shit banging. And every time we knew shit was bad, who shit was banging whether it was our shit or other niggas shit, it was the shit.

So it's like now we're picturing like a run DMC album or fucking, whoever the fuck is hot at the time, we're figuring like, shit, our shit sound better than that shit and with no disrespect. Right. But it's like when you're listening to it and you're making, it's like damn, this shit hitting a little, like right now when niggas making hot music,

they knowing who shit is like, nigga, when you're in the studio, when niggas isn't that motherfucking, this shit fucking, everybody's shit up. That's what that was. And at that time, it wasn't as clogged up as it is now. Right now you got 30,000 records that come out every day. Right.

Did you hear the number I just said? Yes, I did. 30,000 records that come out every day. Every day. Back then, it was probably like, shit. Look, a thousand records come out a month. Yeah, because you had to go get them bitches back then. It's quality shit.

Niggas, like, nigga, you can't be bullshit, and guess what? Two niggas can't sound alike. Yeah. Hmm. Yeah. How was Michael in your idea? How was Michael and Prince going to survive the day son of the life?

Right. Somebody got to go. Snoop. Can't have a rhyme flow like a lad, nigga. Let me ask you this. Like, looking back, in hindsight, all these years later, East Coast, West Coast,

the beef, the media part, what the fuck was that? How much do you think that costs the hip-hop community? Just looking back at the total damage that that shit is. The media do their job.

That's their job. Always say, publicity is good publicity when it come to me. I know how to maximize that shit. Everybody else don't. So they just do their job. Their job is to keep up confusion and to keep shit the way they wanted to be.

But now, like I say, y'all growing up in a different area, niggas, y'all are the media. Based off of a podcast, Instagram, fan base, that's the media. We didn't have that control. When we said something, they printed what they wanted to, They print half of what we said.

It took you six months to see what they wrote. They bring the worst shit. Yeah, I mean. And we didn't have no outlands where we could just grab our phones and be like, man, fuck this nigga. This nigga ain't paying me my money, my nigga. What y'all think about that? Right.

When quit like that, you couldn't just. Hey, my nigga. Tell your side of the story. Don't buy that shit. These niggas ain't, I ain't making that money. What's your pay on tell the nags? Hey, nigger, don't fuck with Netflix. That ain't my.

Nick, er. So we're gonna fix your mic right quick. Niggas cut that shit clean up. Right. All right. All right. All right. I mean.

Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. What's that? Go ahead. Get out, C. I trust. You look like some motherfucking sea water. He's hit.

What? The niggas said, Snoop Dog, your voice is an instrument. That's real. It's not a vocal. And you have to treat it like that. He compared me to Miles Davis when I worked with him because I'm like, damn, I wouldn't start listening to Cubs music. And I'm like, damn, this thing don't even be saying nothing on this music.

What are you saying? You just asked you about the No Limit. Like, when you went down in New Orleans, I heard you say that you just saw how different the program was run by Master Pete. Like, what are some of the first things that you sort of let you know? Like, oh, this is different how they're doing?

down here. They were soldiers, for real, organized, structure. And them niggas in play. And P was serious about his business as far as like, when I first got there, the first thing he was saying was like, See, don't take that nigger to the Calio project, bro. As soon as he turned his back, see, took me to the Calio projects. Soldier Slim, don't have that nigger in the Magnolia.

I'm in the Magnolia. So it's like I'm violating, but then I'm listening, and I'm watching how they're not listening. Then I said, no, I'm not gonna be a bad student. I'm gonna stop doing what they doing. Got me apartment out there first. I lived in the no-limit apartment system. Nick, it was like the projects, nigger.

Everybody had an apartment in that, motherfucker. It's just, with ghetto, nigger. The no-limit apartment system. They made a movie about that. Nick, everybody lived in the apartment with some ghetto shit in Baton Rose, Nick, I swear to God. From there,

He was like, okay, we work at the ice cream shop. Nick, the ice cream shop was a bank. Nick, it was a bank at the daytime. Then at five o'clock, it was a studio. So the bank was right here, and the studio was right here. So we couldn't come in to after the bank closed. We're in that motherfucker, little-ass room. It's a nigger in this room, a nigger in this room,

and a nigger in this room. But it's a machine. We're working, working, working. We ain't even on my records yet. I'm on no limit for like two months. We didn't did like 50 songs. I'm on his album, his album, his album, his album, his album. And P, like, every album you get on, bro,

you know you get paid, a dis-a-mount for niggas was like, brim-br-br-br-h-h-h-then he like, you're ready now, Snoop, I'm like, I'm ready for what? He's like, come on. When we ride through this gated community, he's like, pick out which one you want. I'm like, I want that one. Sign it in your name.

You and your wife going out to that dealership, pick out whatever two of you I want. Which one you want, boo? I want that one, I want that one, in your name. It's the first time. shit was in my name. Everything was in Shug Night Name. So this nigga's showing me off the rep.

I paid that nigga, gave you some chips. Now I'm gonna buy you a house in your name, get you and your wife from automobiles. You ain't gotta go back to California, niggas. Spend your time in school and get your degree. That's what I did. That's crazy. That was real humble, you just to,

because you was already snoo- right. Just to say that I'm gonna go fuck with something. My spirit wasn't that. See, that's what you got to understand. The niggas broke my spirit, man. Right. They broke me, man. Bring it back.

Bring it back. Man, look. Doggy style, working on dogfather, win my murder case, Dre leaves, Tupac get killed, should go into jail, death row want to kill me.

Damn, me. Take a nap. That's crazy. Yeah, dude. Didn't cry, didn't complain, didn't beg, didn't ask nobody for that. that took it on the chin and just stood tall. That's what I was gonna ask you about the murder

was the case album, going through all that shit. You know, that was one of the roughest times in the Snoop Dog's whole, you know, journey. Like, you still was able to pull off that album and it's looked at now as a classic. Like, how was you able to just switch that shit off and still go to work? Because I wrote the song before the murder case.

Oh, yeah. That's what niggas didn't know. They thought I caught the case and wrote a song about it. Nigga, that's stupid. Back then. No, it's like, back then my era, the rappers, we wrote either life or death. Just look at my era, 91, 92, 93, 94, 95, 96.

Most of the rappers wrote their life or they wrote their death. I was in the prime of writing death. murder was the case I wanted to make a song like that because I heard a song Ice Cube had where it was like Down on the Pet Spot It's me and JD

and we sell more birds than a pet shop Oh, why did niggas have to let loose I heard six pop from a deuce Deuce A black car service About him getting shot Getting took to the hospital And some shit but I was like

Nah I want my shit to be about Me cutting a deal with the devil then getting sentenced to the pen and blah blah my story was like that then the shit happened

not exactly like the song but the shit happened was like damn I'm in a motherfucking murder case so business has to continue to move so naturally niggas like that song is a shit I was like hey cah this is why I'm fighting the case I fucked around the same thriller again

I don't know how I seen it again, but that shit came on from the beginning. It was like Quincy Jones and all the niggas and all that shit. Then when it got to the movie part, I was like, oh, I want to do that. I said, hey, Dre Cah's, let's do murder. Was a case like thriller, Cud, like a movie

where it ain't just a video, but it's a movie nigga where a nigga acting and going to it. He was like, cool. Then Ricky Harris, rest in peace at the time. Had wrote some shit. He basically like wrote the whole beginning of it. Like the movie side of it. So he wrote this shit,

Dre had the idea to shoot it, and we was like, fuck it. The label put up the money, and we shouted, and when we shot it, we also put footage of, like, my whole career in the making, like, from me performing at the Soul Train Awards, to me having an interview with Dre, with the big Afro sitting in his garage,

like telling about my career, and he's speaking on me, and just some fly shit, like an EPK, and the shit worked. But it wasn't about the case, it was about the creative art that we created. and that case just so happened to be going on at the time of the, you know, of the shit that we put out.

Man, I like the, you know, I had conversations all the time about the different eras of fame, you know, because we didn't came into it with the social media and everything, but you was famous when you had to write a letter to your favorite celebrity. So... Real fame, where you had to go out

and actually show your support all the way. So... So, Ben is done. So you didn't transition through all of these eras of celebrity. Like which one do you think was the most beneficial to you as Snoop Dog? I think the first one, because I come from the era that was created. The first one, the foundation, the temptations, the fucking miracles, James Brown, you know, all them types of motherfuckers. What they had to do to like the Chitlin circuit and the direct connect with the fans and going to radio stations at six in the morning with boogers in your eyes.

And this is radio station. We're sitting there live with, hey, y'all, what's going on? You want to win tickets to my show? Call up here right now. Call number 15. Hey, what up? Is this Snoop Dog?

Yeah. What's up, dog? Oh, man, I love you. Mama, get on the phone. It's Snoop Dog. Like, that kind of shit. And then they get a mama outside of the radio station. I'm outside right now.

Go down there, meet her, take a picture, go get a plate of food. Now the community fucking with me. Because it's real shit. We're walking through the hood. We ain't sending no text, no visual. experienced, we're personal.

I know your mama, nigga, I know your sister. I know your little brother. I spent the night over here. Like that kind of shit where it's like, it's really real, it's a direct connect to where you feel like this ain't my fan, it's my family. That's why they still with me. You know what I'm saying?

My fans have grown with me. It's crazy to see my concerts when I got a mother, a father, a daughter, and a grander. and a granddaughter, like generations, and they're all with it. It's something for everybody in there. Now, you just said, doggy, and then I got something for the grandkids now.

Well, I can hit them with something like, you know, whoa, y'all take that. Kids, grandma, parents, enjoy this shit. See, that's what I'm saying, like, what you're transitioning, how did you, what you having that type of experience, how did you not get jaded and still jump into the social media era

without feeling like, oh, this shit lame, it ain't got the same experience. What made you see the value and what is going on today. Because you don't have to do it. You was a legend 25 years ago. It's a nigga named Nick on my team, Nick Adler. My Jewish friend, Nicholas Adler.

And this motherfucker always was, he would push social media on me early. This nigga made me make investments and Reddit and Facebook and invest money. Like, I mean, I just put 20,000 in. I'm fucked. What the fuck is this shit? Here, nigger. And a nigga like, ooh. Oh, shit.

So the motherfucker was telling me, first thing he was telling me about was Twitter. That's what people follow you, right? Yeah, yeah. So he's like, man, if you start your Twitter, you'll have millions of followers. I said, I don't want a motherfucker following me, nigga. No, no, I mean, they want to follow you and I'm like,

no, nigger, I don't need that. I'll be doing shit, niggas. What's you talking about? Once he explained it to me and I start like, and dabbling and dabbling. Right. I said, oh, I got this shit. What a nigga out then on it?

Him. Hey, what's that, I'm? Mm-hmm. Hmm. Hmm. Mm-hmm. Yeah. Let me tell you, I'm going.

Hey, how you doing? Yeah. Then the thing come out, the Instagram thing come out. Yeah. He put me up on that. I'm like, man, this is just pictures and shit in the beginning. You know, it was just pictures, right?

Right. Yeah, so I'm, this pictures is the beginning. Right. There's pictures, pictures, pictures. I'm like, man, this shit is so motherfucking. Goofy, nigga, this shit's so good. Nigger, look at this shit. I'm gonna take a picture of carpet,

nigger, and watch 30,000 motherfuckers like it. I just took a picture of the carpet. Five seconds later, 30,000 motherfuckers like it. I'm like, that shit goofy, cuz. Look at this shit, I can just post anything a niggas, and I say, oh, wait a minute. Yeah. I can just post some shit I'm selling,

or some shit I want you to show up to, or some shit I'm promoting, or a positive message, or some shit I'm trying to get off. Then I start thinking like a business, like just maximizing like then the niggas from Instagram do an interview and say hey man our company was regular until one celebrity got behind it and then we became a hundred million dollar company that celebrity was Snoop dog shoot I didn't have that game though I didn't have that game you get the piece of

the pie I need it I didn't have a game to get a piece of the pie I need see what I'm saying right so now we know better you knew better you do better so moving forward to the brothers and sisters out there watching, when you're valuable, know your value. Ask for equity, ask for a piece of the pie. Don't just take that little snap back that they want to throw you up front. You want a piece of the pie

and make sure that you get in a piece of it after it continues to grow. If you grow a brand, you should be a part of the brand. That's real. Yeah, yeah. So, Snoop, they always ask people on any interview who they want to smoke with. Everybody in the world want to smoke with Snoop.

Who Snoop want to smoke with? it. Michael Jordan. Michael George. I ain't never met Michael George. You ain't never met Michael George. You ain't never met. You ain't never met.

That's crazy. Hold the fuck up, man. You want the most famous people in the fucking world. You said, oh. But, nigger, you don't know the niggins. You don't know the nigger. You know the nigger. You ain't in pride.

I got the niggie shoes. I mean, then you said, you said, you don't know the nigg. James Brown pulled up on you, I would think you would know Michael George. But hold on, this is why we're putting this shit into the scope, bro, because I saw it in the air and make it happen. I saw an interview where you said they weren't going to let you in London

and the queen called down and tell them let Snoop Dogg. That's documented, huh? Yeah. Why don't you want to let you, O.G.? Man, I was fighting a murder case. Oh, shit. And I flew to London to do some shows.

Right. Right, while I was on tribe. Right. So as soon as I land, it's a motherfucking The front of their magazine, like the biggest magazine in London is like the New York Times and some shit. They got a picture of me with a handcuff, with one cuff on like this.

With the black power fist? This a picture I took. They took my picture and put it on their shit. So a nigga up there with the cuff hanging on looking gaseous fucking and said, kick this evil bastard out on the cover in London. So as soon as I land, the interview was racing up to me. What are you doing here? They don't want you here.

And they say, hey, man, leave me the fuck alone. I'm going to my room, man. Get up to the room. My publicity team, like, you're good. The Queen just sent word that her grandsons love you. And they're not going to do anything to you because you didn't do anything over here. You're good.

Her grandsons was William and Harry. Word. Grandmother, you have to let him stay. If you're like to speak, man. Please. Please don't kick him on me. Michael Jordan. If you're watching this, Michael Jordan, you got a, hey, man.

What more do you want for me? Mike probably do. Why you know what the fuck they was talking about? Who, what kind of dog is it? Is he a puppy? He's a puppy. He's a doggie. He's a doggie.

Is it coming here? You imagine what it was like when they first played the Queen Snoop. Queen Snoop music. Well, play me one of his songs. Okay, grannie. It ain't no fun. Oh, Lord. Just when they thought she wanted them to turn it off,

let it play. Because in fact, the bitch is on shit. I know this to be true. I do, I know it to be true. Well, if there was some regular shit, would you like to hear your Snoop doggie dog to put it on and leave me. I think she's been around in the chair.

Guess who's back in the motherfucking house? With a fat crown for your motherfucking mouth. Like, so Snoop like, what's- See when he wants to return? Snoopy. Yeah, Snoopy. Grimmy, when is he coming by? So what you're saying that, you know,

Mike being one person that you haven't met, who has Snoop dogs? Starstruck, like, star, like, oh shit, it's him. No, it was her. Who? Um, your movie, nigga. Who, niggins? When I'm shooting, when I go to shoot bones, right?

Right. I don't even know if I told niggas this shit before, but, um, we, um, I gotta fly to Frisco and then to Vancouver, because the movie is in Vancouver. Right. So, fly to Frisco, boom. In the airport, shelling, sitting down. A motherfucker walk up behind me and do like this.

And it's Pam Greer. Oh. Jackie Brown. You're talking about the office. Listen, wait a minute, that ain't the good part. What happened? So she's sitting next to me. And she's like, you ready for this, bro?

I'm like, yes, I'm ready, Foxy. So I said, give me one second. I go to the bathroom, nigga, do this. Yeah, I can't make it up. My security at the time had to come give me off the flow, nigga. I'm in a nasty-ass bathroom on the floor, nigga. Nigger, sweat, nigga, just like,

I swear, cuss, I'm like, nigga. You imagine a nigga walking in that bathroom? Hey, dude, what's that what you, what the fuck? Nica said, what's wrong? I said, Cuh, I just met Pam Greer, Cah. Pam Greer out there, Cah. Nigger put water on my face. I regroup, sitting next to her.

Nigger, me and her seats is side by side. She just, it's amazing the way she's making me feel comfortable, because this is my first throwing role. Right. I'm nervous. I'm shy. And then it's like, this is Pam Greery because two young niggas out there, what Holly Berry was to y'all five, six years ago, you understand me?

Right. Yes, Pam. Believe it. The queen of black exploitation, the queen. Come on now. So she had me rattle, man. And it was, she comforted me, though. She, like, took me back to the hotel and gave me a nice little meal.

and just gave me the conversation that I needed to have, cause, to feel comfortable on screen. Because I guess her season, veteranship showed that I wasn't, you know, ready like that. So she got me all the way ready because, man, Greer had a nigga star struck because it was some real shit. Oh, my God, man. That's a, man, in a bathroom.

Yeah, a boy, man. And you know what's crazy? It's niggas that tell that story right now that nobody believed till right now. right now. I told you that was that niggins snoop on that airplane on that bathroom floor. This is what I gotta ask, though. How did you link up with Nate Dogg? You know, Nate Dogg, a legend, rest and peace.

Man, the shit, the greatest. The shit that y'all did for the West Coast. 1986, we was in, uh, at Polly High School. Nate was in the 12th grade. I was in the 10th grade. We was in a science class. I don't know how we was in the same science class. a little bit behind, yeah. He has a credit.

We had a big science class, niggas, so we were sitting in the back of the class, and I would beat on the table, making beats and shit, and this nigga would be singing like other people's songs, but he would make them dirty. You know what I'm saying? So he would like flip a nigga Luther Vandross song

and sing some dirty shit, and they'd be laughing and shit. Then we had seventh period together, which was P.E., so we had a nigga that were beatbox, and a nigga would beatbox, I would be rapping, and they would be singing alone, And we just became like dogs. Like we both love music.

We both love fucking with the women. We love playing basketball. And we just got tight like that. And then Warren G got into the equation because he was always trying to do music. Dre is his brother. He wanted to be a DJ. He wanted to be a rapper.

He was always pushing rap on me. So the shit had to come together because Warren G was like one of my best friends. And Nate Dogg was becoming my best friend because of the school we went to. So like after school, and in our afterlife was selling dope and becoming teenagers,

we clicked up and became 213 because it was a group in Oakland called 415. That was the shit, Richie Rich and D. Loke. And we liked them niggas so much where it's like, we need to be 213 so we could represent Southern California. And that's how Nate Dog 1G formulated our group. Man, one of the groups that I love

that, you know, embodied that sound that y'all created it was the Dove Shack. Mm-hmm. Like, did you have anything to do with that? Like that? No, give me a little armies. But two scoops that was in the group, when I first started, like, writing raps,

I used to use that nicked typewriter. Snoop, you wrote raps on a typewriter? You were a rap on, yeah. Hold up, this might need to go in the Smith so lazy. You wrote rap on the typewriter. Look, man. Look, man. Damn, ta, ta-ha-ha-ca-ca-ca-ca-ca-ha-ha.

Hey, man, I fucked up. Ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ha-ha. Damn, I fucked up. Gotta do this shit again. Hey, man, I fucked up. I put two E's and bitch. Oh, man. It's supposed to be bitches, not bitch-eat.

I was writing on paper, cuz, and then I would lose my shit. And this nigga typewriter was organized. This nigga had paper organizing shit, so I'm like, I'm just gonna type my shit up. I used to type like 65 words a minute, nigga, I don't- Don't get it. You gotta speed up, DC, do it fast. Kek-KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK, I went to.

Like, I'm sorry you can with this shit. That's hilarious. No, on the real, though, because I was a skill that I took up in junior high school at the little white junior high school I went to. They gave a nigger typing class and I took it. Like, I was one of them students that was like, I took a wood class, metal class,

I took typing, I took home economics. I took classes that was like different. I just wanted to be in the class with the homies and shit and then go home and get a whooping and get in trouble for fucking up. I was trying to pick classes that was like different and shit and then some of them classes had some bad bitches in there too,

so I'm looking to see what the bitches is there. Bishes in home economic. I'd like to have home economics. Right. Can I try out for that? Glee club? Right. Some holes in there, hold on.

in the glee club, Nick. So tell us like back there growing up, because you're from Lone.O. Yeah, East Side. East Side. And a lot of people get L.A. confused because they just think they be in L.A. everywhere in California.

No, it's different cities. Knowing it's different cities. 20 minute they're way, 10 minute they're way, 20 minute they're way. So explain the difference, even though it's the same, from L.B.C. and L.A. and the different cities. Well, LBC is all Crip city,

with the city by the sea. Mm-hmm. Okay. The turf by the city. We're a little bitty city and we, you know, we tightly knit it. It's the east side, it's the west side, it's a north side. And through those dimensions, you've got different races, different ethnicities, different gangs, different families,

and different people that's been a part of the city for a long time that keep it reptable, whether it's on the streets or behind the wall. So when you come to California, we know for what we do. You know, whether it's sports, whether it's in a town, or if it's the Ignat shit. We do it all. We bring it to you any way you want it. And L.A. is L.A.

In L.A., there's different sections in L.A. There are about six, seven hundred gangs in L.A. alone. So it's not about the city, it's the hood you from. Right. Because L.A. is the county. Right. But Long Beach is the city. Now, speaking of hoods,

that's something that anybody that comes from one knows is very delicate navigating, getting out, and being able to see. still have a presence there because you don't want to leave your people behind. But that comes with a lot of, you know, how they can pain because you lose people along the way. So how have you navigated that?

You've been in the game since 1992 and you, you know, one of the most, you made gang banging worldwide. You helped take it worldwide. Even though, you know, it was the most positive aspects in watching you personally, it still comes with what it comes with. So how do you navigate those people

who still are in that mentality and never gonna come out of it while you still gotta go be Snoop Dog all over the world. Well, what I do was, well what I did was, I created a, you wanna wait for that train? Yeah, they're running a train right now. We went away.

Why we ain't in this? No, I wanna be in that. I'm gonna be in there. Talk to me here. Too loud, that bug. You didn't went back to when you was on them porno movies, yeah. Oh, yeah.

And we'll get to that though, I had them. Did you bring them? You made me forget the question when you brought a porno. No, it was just, just about you navigating, being from the hood, being one of the guys that was originally from your set and going in the superstar.

If you follow my career, I put a group together called the East Siders. East Side Up, East Side. Big Tradee. Tradee from Insane. Goldie Loke from 20 Cripp. Which is rivals. It's not rivalry, it's family.

But it's tension and it's misunderstanding based off of old beefs and the old shit that happened, but it's actually family. This is Long Beach. These are the biggest gangs in Long Beach. These are the gangs that run the city And what I mean by gangs I don't mean like terrorizing

I mean like organized structure They do positive things They do try to bring the hood together So what I did was put the two MCs together to bring some peace Because I knew that his homies would follow him His homies would follow him

And if they got together Now they're gonna start to communicate And start well you know what nigga I don't really hate you Nick ain't my cousin You know that right My mama used to fuck with you And then this dialogue

Then it's not, pow. It's like, my nigga, let's just talk about it. Let's figure this shit out so we can find a way to try to be better. And through the music, that was my vocal point was music. So I can make it move in the hood by bringing on two homies that I know that I active, put them in a musical position to make music.

But then negativity came with that because they're all fucking him. He ain't giving them their money. He's doing this. He ain't paying them. And it started that kind of shit. But at the end of the day, I stay solid, stay true to what I do.

They had to see that I wasn't wrong that I was right. Our relationship is just as good as it was from day one, but we had to go through those hurdles for people to understand that this is a business. And sometimes bringing the hood with you, they don't understand business. And you can't teach them to business overnight.

Like LeBron gave his homies a shot. They got to know what they're doing, though. You get what I'm saying? I'm pretty sure with seven other niggas that were on the spot, but they didn't know what they was doing. You got to know what you're doing when you get that position with the dog. Whatever business it is, it can't be gang. We don't do the business of gangbanger.

We do the business of peace, saving lives, and intervening into that type of shit. Right. Right. Now, one of the people that you influenced heavily was Nip, you know, I mean, and, you know, all the way down to people saying he looked like you. But he was one of the most brilliant people, man.

So what is something that you learned from Nip? To be you. This the G as shit he ever did. They was doing straight out of Compton movie, right? So Doctors Ray, Ice Cube, all the niggas callin' me. Man, we're trying to do it. get Nip to play you in Strait Out of Compton. He ain't getting back to us.

All right, let me holl like the little homie. I hit him up, Nip. Let me holl at you, pull up on me. He'd come over to the spot. God, they want you to play me in the Straight Outta Compton movie. I'm happy as a motherfucker to tell him. He's like, no disrespect, big homie. But I can't play you in the movie,

because then people gonna just know me for being you. I gotta be me. And that's what I'll do respect. I was like, damn, I was gase as a motherfucker. I called them, I said, cut, y'all gotta go find somebody else. Cuddle me, fucking with it. Speaking of that, man, why you do the voiceover and the boy, why you do this shit, man?

I was like, man, that Snoop voice, man. That's like me, that was a machine. But I gotta ask, you did the voiceover shit, and you know some of the best shit on the internet is you doing the voiceover on the motherfucker on the motherfucker Discovery Channel, Animal Planet, type of shit. Oh, bro, when you gonna put that shit?

Yeah, the animal planet shit. When are you gonna put some more that shit up? I created that on GGN. You know the GGM was one of the first podcasts ever created. I want the man, listen. Loz the team. That's one of the ones. We always is like, man, we gotta get on the GGN, man.

The GGN, so I created a lot of shit off of the GGN that my good friend Jimmy Kimmel, he happened to have the ABC show, the Jimmy Kimmel show, which I was his first guest, the first week that he started, his first five days. So we like family, right? So Jimmy watching the G.G.N. And he like, nigger, that shit funny.

He didn't say, nigga, did. No, he's true. I said for a minute. God damn, Jimmy. Come on, Jimmy, Jim. Jimmy said, hey, Snoop, that's funny. So I'm like, what you want to do with it? You know, I'm guessing.

Well, what you want to do with it then, Coo? He's like, I think I want to produce some of it and bring on my show. All right, Cud, let's do that then. Cud, just make sure it's in the GGM fashion so my shit would look like it's supposed to look. Right. He brought me down, put me on his show,

and then the shit blow all the way up. Then I double back on my show and do it a couple more times. Then he bring me back on to do it again. And he had me do like some old school basketball shit when niggas was just passing the ball 10 times and didn't dribble that shit. I was roasting that bull shit with one nigger on the team. Like, get this bullshit out there.

He was like, man, you got a career at that shit. So I started doing that, then I started getting announcing jobs. That's the, nigger. That's the, nigger. That the nigger. The boxing match. And to him, during a boxing match, my nigger,

when, what I'm saying? Oh, it's over, Cud, Cud, sleep. Cud, sleep. I was like, Cud, he'd sleep. Oh, brother. Cud, sleep. On them animals, though. That he said, is them mongoose.

That nigga jumped in the ring with some basketball shoes on. Now, now, speaking to that, how do you, you know, is that something that you learned over time to just be Snoop? Because sometimes they'll book you for shit and they'd be telling you what to do. And I'm sure a lot of times you go in for stuff and they'd be like, well, we want you to talk like this

or do this, how do you make them know that man, the best thing I can bring to this is me? Well, in the beginning, I didn't have no control. I had to basically take what was given. You know, you create your control based off of how you get in. And you know, your reputation and your resume and your ethics.

So I'm not hard to work with. I'm just a perfectionist at what I do. So a lot of times when I'm on the set, my father's gotta let me bend it a little bit to make it, you know, fit the way it's supposed to fit. But if it's not supposed to be Snoop Dog, then I allow them to direct me and give me

all of this shit I need. But if it's Snoop Dog or close to the vein of me, I gotta be in a little bit of control of it to make sure that it's projected, right? So when y'all see it, y'all enjoy it. I know you were the truth, niggins, when I did it with the Big Ten War, you had a host? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

You were smoking on stage before. Yeah. I said, I'm like, this in between the tape. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He'll just smoke a on the state. I said, oh, this shit different. I want, I want the Snoke down access. Exactly, I see them do something.

They was like, you can't smoke in here. He's like, no, nigga, you can't smoke in here. And it's super bowl shit. We gotta talk about the super bowl shit. Crazy place you ever smoke. Uh, White House in the bathroom. Under whose presidency? You know.

Oh yeah, I bet. I was hoping that it was up. You know. I was hoping it was in. We ain't gonna say, we ain't gonna say, we know he probably crept in there. Hold up, was it. Was it relaxed or was you like, man, I'm just,

I'm gonna do this, but what they said? See if the Secret Service can really keep a secret. It was, Herbie Hancock was getting inducted to the Kennedy Center that night. So I performed Michelle Obama, Obama, all in them up there, they rock into the music. Well, we'll say ho, I'm making them do shit that niggas don't normally do at this event.

Right. Say ho-ho, say, bioc, they said, rock it. So afterwards, we got dead. Make you look, I see Nancy Pelosi. Biazsche. Yeah, is that the Senate? My Barack out there.

This new dup bitches ain't shit! Look, so later on they do a dinner at the house, right? Right. So it's only one nigga in there with me, Chris Spencer. Right. So, yeah, we in that motherfucker right in heat. And like, nigga, how you get in? I'm like, nigger, how you get in, nigg?

So we meet Obama and shit with what? So I'm moving around. I'm like, I'm in the White House, now. I'm gonna need to move around, nigger. Fuck all that. I'm moving around to the kitchen. to the kitchen, I'm like, what a butler in? The butler come out the back, it's a nigga, too.

Like, what's up, Cuh? I'm like, what a bathroom, man, come trying to woo woo. He said, you're trying to do number one, number two. I said, Nick, I'm trying to woo woo. Number three, man. Number three. Where is that, nigga? That nigga said, two doors down that way.

I said, you sure? He said, yeah, the food, the food smell gonna drown it. I said, this shit, here loud, nigga. So I went in the bathroom, pull it out my side, You know, Secret Service and pat the niggas down a hundred times, but they didn't feel that thing down there. Right. Pull him on out.

Yeah, ya, y'ya, y'ya, y'all. Yeah. Yeah. E again! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yo!

Yo! Yeah! Not three times! You got to put it out of respect. No, you know what I did next? What you did? I lit up some tissue. Right?

Let the tissue run for a second. Let him burn down. We'll whiped and throw him in there real fast. in there real fast. Hit him one more time. Mm-hmm, mix that smoke, tissue and fire. Right. What a deal?

What? Man. Come back outside like a now. Get a little legend. You know, I'm not as much of a connoisseur as my brother's here, but y'all would agree to say Snoop is the king of the, you know, the weed. Yeah, of course, he's the number one. I don't think this shit would be legal where it is without Snoop, though.

He told me, I rolled up a Batwood. You remember you smoked it that. Look what I'm smoking up with. Look what I'm smoking now. You wrote this cuss. I said, big. You did, that's the most albumation you can get now. Now, I've heard legendary, not only heard,

I've seen what smoking with Snoop Dog can do the niggas. Yeah. I've seen it. My brother right here. My brother right here. My brother right here. I could remember 10 seconds ago. This nigger is a nigga, I would,

if I had to pick some niggas to send in to a weed war, this is one of the niggins. Oh, yeah. He comes to. Oh yeah, both y'all nigg. Yeah, there you got. I used to be, but. But, nigga, I wasn't on the episode of the show

when you came, I was upstairs watching. What, wilding out? Wiling out. Yeah, so I'm one of the ones that you came and did. I noticed because I ain't never get to battle you, Cus. Uh-oh. Oh, yeah, uh-oh. Yeah, well.

No, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I know, I just hear everybody, like, oh shit. They see your bed, you know, you know, but, you know, I'm upstairs watching the, I'm watching the show, right? And I knew that Lois had spoke with you. I watched the show that I see my nigga Lose picking Lent off the microphone, nigger. I'm like that, nigger, hise a kite.

I'm talking about my nigga like this. Man, I'll get all this shit. I was fucking gone. I was like, nigga, after the show, I said, Lose, you straight. He was like, fuck, nah, n' nigger. I'm going to eyes a motherfucker fucking with that niggins. Man, it's this picture with me and Jordan Sparks. I'm on their bed like this.

So. What do you want to T. The THG level to be? Right. That's my question. That was about to be my question. Like, is it? 35, 40.

That's, that's it, though. You know what's crazy, though? Look, so I'm on the movie set, right? So the first day I get to the movie set, there's a bunch of little kids, they're like 12, 13. They don't really know me like that as a rapper. They know, like, snooped off or other shit. So it's a little fat nigga up there.

He's like, he wants to battle you. I'm like, he want to battle me. All right, come on. The fat nigga don't even get his words out. I fuck him up fast. Then I fuck up three other niggas like on some karate shit. Pop, pop, pop. You guys for thinking,

you niggas can get some. So niggins come back in the next two days and they just keep coming. I served the niggas, they ain't said nothing in three days, then today the little niggas said, I watched your battles on Wild and Out. We don't want no more. I'm like, all right, Cud,

we'll respect that then, niggins, before I kick you in your motherfucking shit. Keep that intensity, man. Like, you know, you started battling you say back in the day, you know what I mean? In the hallways. Our battle rap was different, right? No disrespect to the battle rap right now.

We had to freestyle. We didn't have time to go home and, oh, DC had a baby on the side, DC hair line is fucked up, DC is this, I had to make it up on the spot. Like, get at you right now, nigga, dead pop that, boop dot, pop, pop, pop. You niggas got too much time right now to go home and ride it and prepare it.

Like, we didn't have all of that time. No disrespect, but that's just the, the battle area that I come from, it was like, nigga, pull up and get at it. Nick, what's that, right? Right. Yeah. Was they right and shit?

It was cuz getting, yeah. He said, if he had a rap and he had to go in the end battle. Go to the next event. That's where it started. Like, I'm from the original foundation. That's why I'm not in that because I'm from the foundation and has outgrown me. But I respect it, because the battle rappers already know what it is

when they come to me. I've done gladiated school. I've done battle raps for them where I put the function together and allowed them to get out. to get out, because I fuck with them and I love how they get out. But I'm just saying I come from the era of CARS 1. Yeah, we're-Nigger fired up right now.

Right now. Was it anybody you ever ran up on when you was young Snoop Dogg? That you was like, man, I wish I can go at it with this nigga, just on that style of battle rap. I want to, that's how I met Corrupt. Me and Corrupt met battle rapping in Hollywood at the fucking Roxy.

It was a talent show for my homie's perfection, which was the twins, Folsom, Domino, Beefy Locke. They got toe jam. All the niggas was in one group. They did that, man, that's in G. Them niggas was in one group called perfection. So they go to a talent show in LA

and they do their little thing, but they don't win it. So when it's over with, it's a female in the streets. And she's talking to my homies like this. You Long Beach niggas is weak. My homeboy, I serve all you niggas. She's talking to my niggas like that. Damn. So I didn't perform.

I'm just with my niggas. So she's like, yeah, nigger, my homeboy at Servi, here he come right now. And it's corrupt. This niggas, skinny little nigger. She pointed at one of the niggas from perfection, that niggas just started sowing this nigh head off. Fadda, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop,

and he freestowning. Right. He's right now. Right. So he's taking all the niggas out. These niggas is, like, bound down. They ain't even saying nothing. I come off the wall like, nigger, what's happening,

nigga, bop, poop, boop, boop, boop. He fired back, boom, boom, boom, boom. We're going at it like 15 minutes. I can't get none, he can't get none. It's like, we're just swinging hard and ain't nothing penetrated. We end up like talking about, nigga, your jacket is fresh and your shoes is tight.

Don, you're gonna be this nigga free. Let's be friends. Let's get friends. We ended on the ground, on, when we were standing up, we ended like this, nigger shaking hands on some like, nigger, cause we couldn't fuck with each other. Like a movie scene, nigga.

Yeah, you done? You're done? You're good? I'm through. You're good? You're good. I can't go home, motherfucker. On the ride back home, niggas was in the car like,

because they had never seen me like that with nobody. Niggas was like, that nigger was hard. They were like, you had to pull out your best shit on that nigger. I'm like, I know, cuss. I said, Cough, if I ever make it, I'm gonna go back and get that nigga. And I went back and got him. For real, he got one of the coldest versus ever. written. Well, if corrupt gave a fuck about him, I'd always be broke.

I wanted a nigga on my team that could challenge me. Another nigga like that was my cousin RBX. Now, my cousin RBX was the greatest rapper I ever battled because he's the only nigga to never lose to me. I batted him like seven, eight times in my life and never beat he. This nigga had a song called My Vocabulary. We had big ass words and understood the meaning. Then he went backwards with the words. Then he had a song where he used to always fuck me up. It would start off like this. Laying in a field baffled and perplexed once again,

the powers of the ex, wondering, will this war come before? I am ready. It is time load the weapon. This is the doormat to the funky format. Now step in, slam the door, hit the latch. Let me manifest the words of a rock. This nigga was hitting me with shit like this in the 80s. I'm like, shit.

The way he's saying it, His body, his spirit is all that shit, it's like, damn, I can't beat this nigga. So as soon as I get a deal, hey, Drake, we need to have this nigga with us, because I can't fuck with him. This is my cousin. He'll make us stronger. Let me hear him bring him in. Now he in. Now I got two niggas around me that I know that's going to make me extra kill.

Right. I need niggas better than me around me. Right. So I cannot work on. You know what I'm saying? Hell you. If everybody around me lesser, I ain't got no reason. to work. That's why y'all

niggas work. That's why this shit, this team right here works because all you niggas trying to outwork each other for the right reasons. Make it make sense. Make it makes sense. Make it sense. Make it, make sense. When your car is making

a strange noise, no matter what it is, you can't just pretend it's not happening. That's an interesting sound. It's like your mental health. health. If you're struggling and feeling overwhelmed, it's important to do something about it. It can be as simple as talking to someone or just taking a deep, calming breath to ground yourself.

Remember the movie pass era where you could watch all the movies you wanted for just $9? It made zero sense, and I could not stop thinking about it. I'm Bridget Todd, host of the tech podcast, there are no girls on the internet. On this new season, I'm talking to the innovators who are left out of the tech headlines, like the visionary behind a movie pass, Black founder Stacey Spikes, who was pushed out of movie pass, the company that he founded.

His story is wild, and it's currently the subject of a juicy new HBO documentary. We dive into how culture connects us. When you go to France or you go to England, or you go to Hong Kong. Those kids are wearing Jordans. They're wearing Kobe's shirt. They're watching Black Panther. And the challenges of being a Black founder.

Close your eyes and tell me what a tech founder looks like. They're not going to describe someone who looks like me and they're not going to describe someone who looks like you.

And I'm like, that makeup took like seven hours, I ain't putting that shit on again. He got me fucked up.

But then the nigga called me to be in a movie with it, the Dion Taylor movie. So now you gotta sit your head out for some hours. But it's like, it got a role for me. Like it was such a clowning moment, but niggas seen the talent. And what I say, you never know who watching. You've been doing some funny shit too.

That was, let me tell you what happened with that show. So MTV, get at me, they're like, We want you to put together a variety show. You can do whatever you want. I'm like, all right. That's when the isle, fizzle and all that shit was like popping, niggas was talking like that. I'm like, let me call my show the doggy fizzle show.

Cool, what you gonna do? I wanted to be like sketch, funny, this shit, that shit. Let me create it. Y'all get the fuck out the way. Had that shit bopping and popping. First season, niggas gave me like $15,000, right? Because they didn't believe. 15,000 wasn't shit, but it was a lot back then.

So the nigga took it, right? So as soon as we get to like the last episode of season one, this shit is popping. Everybody talking about it. Niggie Fizzle was, niggas wanna be on it. I got celebrities lining up to be on it. They tell me, we wanna do season two. We've already structured to deal with your whole team,

Fuck y'all in this show. Nick, I don't need this show, I'm Snoop Dogg. Fuck Doggy Fisle. And walked away from it. Two months later, the Chappelle show was on. That nigga was getting it in. Oh yeah. And that's my homie.

Right, yeah. So I go do his show. Right. Help him get his shit up. Right. You feel what I'm saying? Because this is what we do. We're a brotherhood, I told you that, like, we don't get mad and we, who's next?

It's cut, let me go. Let me go for a little. You're going to show him something. We're solid. Solid foundation. Right. And the music and the comedy is something y'all always blended, man. Like, speak to the skit.

That's something that we don't really have and you're rap no more. rap no more. But see, Dr. Dre created that shit with the NWA era. They always had skits on their shit that was either funny, hard, or either something that connected to song. So when we got to the chronic album, he noticed that we was funny as fuck. So he was like, shit, we're going to do the $25,000 pyramid. Orange you gonna do me?

Yeah, what you're gonna do these nuts. Because that's the one was, these nuts started in Long Beach. Don't get it fucked up. Word. East Side of Long Beach, 1982, nigga in junior high school. Mm-hmm, Tokyo shit. Nigger, it started with one of the little homies, the twins and a couple of other niggas that was funny.

Nigger was like, hey, man, the homie looking for you, Nick said, who? Dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun d. These nuts. They used to go like that. Dada, da, da, da. Dada, da. Dada, da.

He was a game show. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. The skits was so legendary. I mean, even the skits at the beginning of the song jazz, DJ Easy Dick, coming back and she's with another fat thing for you. But it's like, nigger, was that something that y'all implemented or was that just one them situations where niggas was just in the room kicking them like, hey, could,

ain't go in there and do some of that shit you do? The DJ Easy dick got created at my apartment in Culver City. See, I was living in Culver City and we had like a phone that was like our little hotline. hotline. So we gave it out to all the females and motherfuckers just to call us like all the time. This is like when the chronic was out. So when they call it, Ricky Harris would be answering like a radio station. This is radio station W. Bowles, 187.4 FM on your dial. So we're making tapes. Dre here to tape. We need to put that shit on the album. Let me produce it. Everybody's got to hear this shit. Double your balls!

Devil your balls! See, breaking that component behind what he said. Shh. Yeah, it's ready. Step as a dog, pal. This is something, something. He said, let me put a little sauce on it. That's what they're reducing.

Snook, you always throw some funny shit on there, like, bitch, I'm gone. Which one of you, bitch is like me. You fuck with that? Oh, that's in my top five. Bitch I'm gone is my shit. Bitch I'm gone. I can't breathe.

I got a go. Oh. I want to be around the guy and away I do. Which one of you bitches like me? Yeah, we're the nine-inch dicks, because that's my

it's my group, my little alternative group, you know. And our album is coming soon. My name is Chigo B, and I'm here to audition to be a member of the nine-inch Dix. Ladies, take him in the back

see if he qualifies. Where are you taking death row to? What's the future of death row? Wow, great question. Well, we started off in the Metaverse. We did about 40 million in the Metaverse. Oh, my God. Now we plan to go around the universe.

I wanna do death roll India, death row Africa, death row Asia, death row Tokyo. Everything. I just like how that I want to go global. Death Road, global. Global, because you guys. You gotta look at it like this, that logo and that brand

is so well known, it's so established that it's time to start letting other countries give it a shot at what they sound could be, because death row was just a small company with a big-ass dream. And I feel like taking it to a country with some small artists with a big-ass dream is gonna keep it growing.

And speak to like, you know, your relationship with Shug, you know, it's been up and down, but you know you guys reconciled and made peace, did that help with you? making a decision of getting, or did you go to him and get his blessing, or did you feel that you needed to? No, no, no.

The decision I made to get there for was strictly my decision, no checking with nobody. It was strictly based off of me wanting my master's back to this record right here, and then eventually wanting everything that came with it because it was available knowing that I could protect the legacy and put everything back in order. No, I didn't check with Shug Night

because he has no ownership in it. With all due respect, I didn't feel like I needed his blessing. Right. I feel like what I'm doing is restoring his legacy as well. I feel like if anything, it should be good shit, snoop-dows, right. It's in the right hands. Your heart is right, your spirit is right, and you're part of the legs that built this shit.

And just to keep things in order, I brought in Michael Harris, who's Harry O, as the C-O-O. So just to put the business back in the business because he's a brilliant business-minded man who understands certain levels of the business on how it can grow and how certain things need to be handled. certain aspects of the business. So we're just pushing a great line of business, like black business, and not trying to have negative energy floating around it, or is he mad, or is it?

No, man, this is a business, man. When the other man had it, it wasn't a problem. Right, and he wasn't doing nothing with it. Right, I gotta bring this up to, because you're taking five, six, seven-year-old boys, and now you got Super Bowl champions and first round draft picks and said. And bought to have a Heisman trophy winner this year.

You've been kicking ass. You've been having them young, kick your ass, ya. Yeah, just speak on the program, how you got that started, how you got the foundation to, like I said, you got Super Bowl champions and as a trophy winners at this ball.

That's my most prior possession is the Snoop Youth Football League. We started in 2005. It's the inner city youth program to help, you know, you have a solution to some things to do. And it also helps ex-gang members become coaching, and role models and mentors. And we've been doing such a great job

with sending kids to high school to graduate for the first time, to college for the first time, to the NFL, and even to different ventures of life, not just sports, but life in general. I got some kids that are sheriffs and lawyers and Rhodes Scholars and Dennis and things that you wouldn't even imagine

that came out of my league. And it's beautiful to see it blossom and growing to what it is. And then in 2017, we created the Snoop Youth Special Stars, where we deal with kids with special needs and autism and handicaps. Had to bring the football league. Yeah, we're doing our thing, man.

And like I said, we got a kid right now that goes to Ohio State, C.J. Stroud. He's, you know, top five right now in that high's been running. And he played in my league, and he's one of the kids that we're very proud of, alongside with a lot of other kids that have done their thing

and made us proud of them and their achievements. Whether they go to the next level or not, level or not, we're just proud the fact that they was able to follow their dreams and do some things and still call me coach to this day. That's like the best feeling in the world. Like Uncle Snoop is a great, it's a great feeling when people say that Uncle Snoop, what's up, Uncle? But damn, that coach, that feels so much, that shit hit different. What you think about what Prime got going on down at Jackson State? Jackson State? Yeah. Prime got some good shit going because what he's doing and he's bringing in the awareness to the HBCU

and making it fun and friendly and making it, you know, available now because for many years it's been, you know, covered up and there's a lot of talent that can be displayed. There's a lot of opportunities, a lot of brotherhood, family, business, and just blackness. Like, come on, man.

Like, where I come from on the West, HBCUs don't get no run. They're not talked about, they're not pushed, and I support it, they're not offered, they're not of that. None. None. It's none, yeah. Zero.

Stop in the Midwest. So it's like, Who's coming from there to say, hey, y'all, come to a HBCU. But when you see a Dionne Sanders making it look like it look, the locker room popping every week, they went in. Oh, man, I want to go there. Yeah. We saw it.

We saw it. In the food in the parking lot? Lord, have mercy. Men of the street. He called me before he took the job down there. Oh, yeah. Talked for a long time. This was before he agreed to this shit.

Because it was another school he was thinking about. Yeah, but we saw the value in it before he went down there. Everybody else, you know, we was down, we was down here arguing with Gilly, Gillie, the kid. Oh, man, niggins got a penalty running down the sideline. Man, you, man, listen.

Man, listen, man, man. That nigger screamed me down. They're not getting no fucking priced on with me. He ain't gonna do nothing down there, I'm not sitting my shit. And this thing get a whole pair of it. They're running down the side. See that, Killey?

See? They got tape on your ass. Yeah, we're on your ass. That tape on my, boy. Hey, man. Told you about that shit. Now, that $500 I owe you from that Steelers' Eagles game, we're gonna just charge it to the game.

Yeah, man. Man, you're still fucking with the man. What? Now, I said you get mad. Ask him. Ask him. Ask him. You know what's happening?

Ask him. No, I don't know what wrong. I need to be in a competition or some shit. No. I don't know who he was playing ahead of mad. It was shit, fuck this shit. Shit stupid as fuck this. Man, look at this dumb man.

Fucked this shit. I said, I've never played with Snoop nigger, break your controller. Didn't I beat you though? You did? But then you ran away. I'm like, I'm texting this nigga play. I beat you, y'all.

Yeah, but I'm texting you to play. It was we was talking on the Xbox. Hey, DC, what's going on? You win. It's invisible now. What's going on, man? I'm ready to play tonight. Don't do it.

I said the night. Don't do it. Coach. All right, one more thing. What's up with the hood flicks? Mmm. Mmm. What y'all want to be in?

Whatever. Yeah, babe. I told y'all about to watch TV series. That's perfect for y'all. Yeah. But what I think we need, though, I think we need some sort of movie where we can showcase all of these bad motherfuckers that's popping in the social media world

that haven't been produced. Like, it's some great things. Like, it's some great talent that's floating around the way you guys have connected and came together. It's a lot of individuals out there like you guys used to be. You feel what I'm saying? They're not being produced, but they're making great content. Like, shit that's funny where it's like, they can be seeing it. They're like, damn, that shit funny.

Yeah, you always show love to Haha Davis. You show a lot of love on your social media to him. What's the nigga Eddie Murphy when he did Harlem Nights? When he took the best of the best, but he made them characters that fit they shit to where they could be the best. Like, we need one of them. All you funny motherfuckers and all you niggas that can act and doing all this shit and creating content where it's like, nigga, put the camera down.

We need you to act on this one. Man, I gotta ask you, like, how do you, or where do you find the, the parts of you to make you the type of nigga that you are with your status? Like, my mama passed away, you hit me, man. You gave me love with my mama died. Like, and it's like, this Snoop dog,

but you're reaching out like, you know what I mean? It's a regular person. First time we met you, you walked up on me and Lowe's, like, You knew us. It was like, nigga, how the fuck you know who we are? Like, we'll keep you in tune, not only to know who the younger generation is, but to let them know, like, hey, come in.

I fuck with you. I told you, that's who I am. Told you, if there's niggas I like, I'm running up on them. That's all I've always been. Like, I don't have no problem with, like, stop the car. I like that, Nick, let me tell that nigga what's up real quick, real quick.

What up, my nigga? Yeah, it's just like, what's had him? My nigga, I fuck with you. Like, when I just did this show with Kelly Clarkson, We did American Song Contest, right? So she brings this shit up. I had forgot. She was like, do you remember the first time you met me?

I'm like, damn, I hate what motherfuckers ask that shit. I remember everything but that. No, I don't tell me. She's like, I was walking at an award show and you said, hey, Kelly Clark, it's Snoop Dogg and I fuck with you. And I said, damn, I did say that. She said, that's the first time I met you.

I'm like, so that's how I am. Yeah, the first time we matched, you walked up on me at Los, we at L.A. at the BT Awards. As we were doing something wild and out shit, you walked up like, hey, nigger, you two niggas ain't somewhere rapping? We was like, niggas, you snoop dog talking like that?

It's crazy. It was hard, though, cause that old school shit y'all was doing, that shit was so, remember, I told you, I'm first generation. Not first generation rapper, but I heard rap when it first came out. So it was like, y'all was so close to that. The way y'all, the style, the cadence,

the way y'all was just fucking each other up and back and forth, that's battle rap. Like, right now. Go to that shit. You know what I'm saying? Like right now battle rap, and I respect that, so fuck it. That's love, man. Sorry for respecting it.

I mean, no, I'm just saying, it's just surprising, it's shocking, and it's something that, you know, you don't see a lot of people of your status. Well, you don't really even get to run into people of your status like that, but when you do, they don't embrace you like that. Like, you want to the people that made us feel comfortable.

All of us. You know what I mean? I mean, you just said you're playing Madden with fly texting them like, nigga, that's 10 years ago, nigga with him like, hey man, one day Snoop Dog gonna be texting your phone. You're like, make the fuck out my face.

You know what I mean? But that's, you know, it's one of the most, the best parts about you, man, thank you. We're people, man, we people, my mama's the blame, man. My mother, I come from my area where my mother should be like, get your ass outside and go play.

Go outside. So where I come from, it was a bunch of kids and a bunch of shit. So you had to mix and mingle and learn how to move around and build relationships. and you know what I'm saying, learn how to be cool with motherfuckers

or either be a down-ass nigger to just fuck niggas up. And I didn't want to be that nigger, I'm just the cool niggins. So I translated that into who I am as a grown man. It's a legend. Like, man. I love you, so I got one more thing to say,

because it's like, we've seen you have a whole career and we've seen you turn this, like you said, into a business man, you're seeing you sell all kinds of shit, like one of the kings of marketing, bro. What kind of advice would you give to the next generation and they got the access to the internet to build, how would they build their empire with all this shit?

You gotta have something that's worth buying first. You know, so build your brand up to where you ain't selling nothing. It's selling itself. You know what I'm saying? Like, that's the cold part about what I do. I don't sell nothing.

The brand do. I got one last question. What can I get them glasses from, nigga? I need those. Where do those? Here, nigga. Oh, nigger, you're serious, man. Yeah.

Damn bitch, he's caught. We got a shadow. Oh, no, no problem. You want to see what they look like? Oh, the walk of fame. Oh, the walk of fame. That was special, because my mama was there, my daddy was there, Warren G was there,

Dr. Dre was there, Nick Quincy Jones was there. And the, the nigger that was there The nigger that was there that just fucked me up the most, Nick, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, nigga. What? Yeah, the captain was there, nigga. So I'm just looking around, right?

And I'm like, damn, I must have done a whole lot, because for Quincy Jones, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and motherfucking doctor's ready to be here. Well, I'm like, I ain't even got no speech, because. I'm up here just looking at this shit, like, damn, everybody talking and saying cool shit, Ray reading this shit, niggas is reading this shit.

I'm like, damn, what the fuck I'm gonna do? I get up there, cause, and I look at my mama, and I just come up with some shit, like, I want to thank me. That's real, bro. Last one, you'll talk about your love with the later, they now. Ooh, that's rough, Kat. You're gonna make that the last question, Nick.

You got it on? You mean that? You got it on. Yeah. We'd be all right. Yeah. It's 82 games in the season, cut. You're all good.

Don't trip, we're gonna be all right. Look, I'm gonna die hard, man. Like, one thing about me, I bleed purple and gold, man. Magic Johnson is my friend, man. You know what I'm saying? Karim Abdul-Jibah is my friend, man. I sit down and chop it up with these brothers, man. Like, these are my childhood idols, like, you know what I'm saying?
