Yay yay. What's up Snoop? What's up Snoop? What's up? What's up? The icon living man. How you feeling my brother? Man working hard and hardly working.

Happy to be back in the Big Apple. Man you know what I was thinking the other day. I said man when Snoop looks in the mirror now who does he see more Snoop or Calv? I think I see a grandfather. Because like the things that I deal with now is like I deal with grandkids, I deal with kids, and it's like a perspective that I have as far as like wisdom now. That's the part that really be throwing me off

because I used to be like, I don't want to teach you or educate you, but now it's like I love doing it. It's like it's wisdom. When you get older, you get wiser, and I realized that being a grandfather is like a treat because I remember how great my grandfather was to me. Your life changes a lot though.

I seen your wife on Big Boy and she was like, Snoop's not allowed to smoke upstairs anymore because that's where the grandkids are. So yeah, life changes a lot. So talk about that a little bit. Well, adjustments, you know. As you get older, you get wiser, and you got to make adjustments

for the situation that you in. I got a strong ass wife, you know what I'm saying? Like she really been holding me down for the longest and when she say certain things, I don't even go against it. And what's best for the family is what's necessary. And I just love the fact that I'm able to grow in front of everybody's eyes. To be able to look back and say,

well I remember when you was 19 and 20 and you was this and that and now you're this. Just to show an example of you can do the right thing if you put your mind to doing the right thing. Crips can get old too. Amen. Now I've seen Damon Wayans say that grandkids teach you how you should have loved your kids.

Yeah, yeah, I say that too. I say, with my grandkids, I do a lot of things that I didn't do for my kids. And I'm more, like, softer on them, because I feel like they're precious. With my kids and I'm more like softer on them because I feel like they're precious. With my kids, I was hard on them. And I'm like, man, was I wrong or right for that? Because the way I was raised, you know,

you're supposed to put your kids in positions to understand that life is real. You don't want to set them up for nothing that's fake. But now when it comes to my grandkids, I try to protect them. So it was like, it's crazy to have that emotion and say, okay, with my kids, I was this way with my grandkids, I try to protect them. So it was like, it's crazy to have that emotion and say, okay, with my kids, I was this way with my grandkids.

I'm not gonna do that same thing with them. I'm gonna make sure that I'm able to love them and talk to them and not argue with them. But me and my grandson, we have had a couple arguments. My oldest grandson, he got a lot of my DNA. How old is he? 10. And he says what he feels and he feels what he says.

Now with this album here Snoop. Is it a crime? Is it a crime? Yeah. I feel like listening to this album, like I don't know why, but I feel like you have something to prove. Like you want to prove to people that you can rap and you get busy. Like you know listening to this album last night, I'm like this ain't no just fun Snoop

album. This is I want to show you guys I can spit. I can rap too. You know, I'm a rapper, so we competitive. So when you're not hearing or seeing, then you get to, you know, feeling like, maybe I need to try one more time or get back into what I do. I'm an MC and I love to rap.

I love to make music and people love my voice and they love when I make great records. And when I don't make great records, people let me know that as well. So I hear all of that, and it makes me say to myself, I should treat myself like a musician and not like a rapper. Because if you're a musician, you can make music until you die.

But when you're a rapper, they try to put a cap on you. So I'm in the musician mind state of, whatever feels good to you must be good for you. And when I make music, sometimes it's good for you. What was Missionary to you? Missionary was Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg getting together for the first time in 20-some years, allowing Dr. Dre to produce Snoop Dogg for the first time.

And what I mean by produce, I mean by producing, like, say for instance, I was an R&B singer and they'll present an R&B singer a song and say, I need you to sing this song exactly like that. That's what Missionary was. Songs being presented, spirits of Dr. Dre driving and leading and producing Snoop Dogg

for what he thought was best for him at the time. The first records that we did together, he was the producer, I was the rapper. I would rap, spit, motion, feel. He would take that and create it and make it into what it was. This was the first time that I was not writing my own material, allowing them to take the lead.

Because I believe in Dr. Dre, and when he drives, I sit in the passenger seat. And that was a project that he drove, so I got back into my seat and let him drive. Do you think y'all created an impossible bar for yourselves with The Chronic, with Doggie Style, with 2001? Absolutely. I don't think it's an impossible bar,

I just think it's the times. You gotta understand when those records came out, rap wasn't popular. So we wasn't fighting against 400 rappers that was coming out with an album every day. And the sound that we had was original and it was unique and it wasn't no mimicking or duplicating. So you had a chance to understand

what real music sounded like. There's a cloud right now where it's a lot of music that sounds alike, a lot of artists that sounded alike. When I came up, it wasn't two rappers that sounded alike I can name five that sounded like right now and you can too. Absolutely. It's not a bad thing It's just you was able to clearly see and hear What was great right now? You have to fight through so much to find out what's great

So to me missionary is great when you catch up to it if you don't catch up to it, then it ain't meant for you. Yeah, it's interesting because when I hear it's a crime, immediate slaps. Hard. You know what I'm saying? No, that's hard. From the time you put it on, immediate slaps. Missionary is definitely one of them ones

that I think musically over time, people will grow to appreciate it. Yeah, I think it's like, say for instance, with an orchestra, and then Is It A Crime? It's like, in the hood. But I can do them both, we can do them both, because you gotta look at our careers. We've actually done enough to what we don't

have to do anymore. Y'all don't, y'all ain't gotta do nothing. Because it's like, when you do, they're gonna always judge or compare it to that bar, the Chronic Doggy style, Chronic 2001. That's a bar that's kind of unreachable But I don't make records to try to outdo what I did I make records for the moment You don't forget how much respect that you have for for big right listen to this album

And I see you taking clips and bits of here And it makes me realize like damn snoop really respected that man's craft and really loved him as an artist But if you knew when he was alive, he respected my craft. I'm sitting in the crib dreaming about Lil Jackson Coov's what's up, Suis, and how to sell records like Snoop. Oops. Yep. Oops.

So it's mutual. Now it's nothing wrong with showing love. But back then, it was frowned upon if I said I got love for him and he got love for me. But we didn't care. We both went on a limb and allowed people to know that I got love for him and he got love for me. But we didn't care. We both went on a limb and allowed people to know that I got love for this man. And I have no problem with saying that, standing on that.

It is who I am and I'm glad that I was able to do that. So it's documented, it's testimony, it is what it is. You can't fix that and you can't change that. I mean, you still at a bar for a lot of rappers now, but back then you definitely had to be the bar because you sold what? 800,000 records in your first week like that was the most Records a debut artists had ever sold period in music. Let's see where I was with doing that

Remember that was a physical day. That's what you had to go to the store and buy Cloud it was like standing line go get it open it up touch it fill it pass it to the home girl Let them have it give me my thing back like all of that now was just And you do that for two weeks in a row right What when you back then you saw eight hundred thousand one week and eight hundred thousand the very next week or something They told me that record did a whole lot and then I don't even check on it, right? So now that I got death row records as the owner of the label, I get numbers now. So they telling me that Doggy Style is getting close to 10 million sold worldwide.

And I thought it just was going, all right, we did four million, we good. I'm like, I didn't understand that it's gonna keep selling and selling and when I do this, it makes it sell. When I did the Super Bowl, it sold more when I'm doing this. So it was like those records that are timeless, if you own those records, they'll continue to make money,

especially when you got TikTok and all these other little platforms with kids that take a record that's old to you, but it's new to them, and they'll bring it to life. Me and OG Snoop would sexy, right? I knew you was gonna go to that record. Yes. I just knew you was gonna go to that particular record, Jess.

You just forget everything, go all the way to 2015. You're talking about this old niggas shit, man. I want to jump into it. Damn old niggas shit. Look at me. The record has called me an OG. Damn. But I love it though.

I love it. I love it. But I want to know how did that come about? How was the vibe in the studio with Sexy? Now look, Sexy Red is the homegirl. I love her to death. Yeah. Now how we got together was she the homegirl. I love her to death. Now how we got together was she was coming to LA

and needed a studio. And my studio was close, Proxenomy LAX, offered her to use a studio. When she come over, you know, my family, we don't do nothing but hospitably make you feel at home. It smells good, we got blankets, food, we got game room. So we just giving her the blue carpet treatment and she just loving every minute of it. So I'm like, Red, let's

go in the studio. We're in the studio and we just talking and she asking me questions about my career. Like, you know, you tight, how you be doing this and that? We get past that. I'm like, what's up with the record? She like, you want to do one? I'm like, hell yeah. Put on a track. She ain't feeling it. I'm like hell yeah Put on a track she ain't feeling it I'm like damn so I gotta call all my homies that make the kind of music that she like So one of the homies sense and beats she'd listen when she hear the beat she like she grab her phone She kicked him first bars off and then she said oh she really get out She go on the booth. She spit it I spit mines

We listen to it and we vibing and then she come back to the studio like a week straight. And we just bond, like uncle and niece. It's just a relationship that we build. I don't know why I always find artists when they at this point, and I'm a part of their life, and then when they get all the way up there, it's like we've already bonded. That's what I feel like. She like my little sister. I love her. I's what I feel like. She like my little sister.

I love her. I love how she get down. How she just, she just remind me of me. Like she just don't give a fuck. She just bang and she's approachable. She's lovable. And our music is this shit. So it was one of those things where it was a moment

that we captured just because I was being hospitable to let her use the studio. And then the record came up out because we just naturally connected with each other. My spirit is open. I've always been like that I don't frown upon the new mcs the new girls. I like I open up to everybody If I don't like your thing, you'll never know it publicly Does anybody charge snoop to be on their record anymore? Or is it one of those things that's uncle? We're not charging uncle It's like it's a love thing with me. Like they already know sometimes,

like if you got a lot of money, then I may want a little bit. But if you know the label got a budget, my money to put up. But if you're one of them artists that's like, you know, you putting it on yourself, you independent, like La Russell, for example, from the Bay.

Who's the La Russell? Can't wait y'all got the record. Yeah, can't wait. We got a record with me and I got a it on yourself, you're independent, like La Russell for example from the Bay. Sleutha La Russell. Can't wait y'all got the record. Yeah, can't wait. We got a record with me and I got a record on his album. No paperwork, no money, that's my nephew. Like it be like that sometimes. Like you supposed to just do that. Because if you love what you do,

it ain't always about financial, sometimes it's about bonding and showing love. On West Up, you say, why should I retire? Why the fuck should I retire, homie? It's our time. It's y'all time. West Up, nickel. Do you feel like the West Coast is having some type of re why the fuck should I retire homie? It's our time. What's up nickel? Do you feel like the West Coast is having some type of Renaissance right now? Don't you yes? Yeah, I mean I feel like to me the West ain't never left, but I've always been a person that Are you kidding me? There's never been this many West Coast records on radio ever and trust me

It's not a lot now. It's just kindred. No, but that's just the point when Dre Snoop Tupac All of us was in our heyday It wasn't spinning like that because it still with some hesitation on we ain't fucking with them We ain't playing that shit them niggas ain't here We ain't playing it like y'all know the rule when they leave turn that shit off It's like it stays on so I'm like I can't believe they actually really planned This is what I really love about New York radio when When y'all started opening up to the South, I don't really care about us,

because we was going to make ours. But when y'all opened up to the South, that made me know that the hip-hop game was expanding, because y'all used to shit on them bad. Bad. And we they cousins, so we used to fill the second half of it. So when y'all allowed them to come in and get their expression off, that's when I was like,

it's some great things happening in New York, because it gives the game a chance to expand and not be trapped now look at what hip-hop is now it's global. But also New York ain't had no choice because New York music started to do this and everybody else started to do that. They ain't had no place to. We was forced a little bit but you know what I think New York was so influenced by the South. Right. Like a lot of the artists started sounding like Southern artists but I'm with you out there I just think it's just dope that people get their feelings out and their expressions out and we can ride to it regardless.

So even at the peak in the 90s, right? I don't even want to call it the peak because y'all been going for a long time, but when it was the Kronix and the Doggie Styles and Pac was out, this moment right now feels bigger than that? It's not like this. No. Oh. Because we had a bunch of us.

Right now, it's like K-Dot is standing up top. At that time, we was all on the mountaintop. You got Cube, 40, Show, Dog Pound. It was just West Coast heavyweights. Right now, Kendrick is the heavyweight. So it's like, that's why I'm coming back, so I can get his back to let him know that the OG Stan Woodin' ain't got his back.

You understand what I'm saying? That's what we do as musicians. We put our flags down and we let people know that we do make great music representing our coast. But it's not a coastal thing because we make music for everybody. Did y'all ever talk after he dropped Wacked Out Mirrors? For what?

I mean, just to have a conversation. What's there to talk about? That's? I mean, just to have a conversation. What's there to talk about? That's my little homie. He spoke his mind. He said what he said. And like I said earlier, as an older guy, sometimes we don't have radar on what we doing.

Just so y'all can know the scenario of what happened, it was a repost from Jen and Juice that Who Kid sent me. Damn Who Kid. But it had that song in it. I don't even know what the fuck the song was. I just reposted on my shit, cause it's my brand. Then when I get wind of it, naturally I reach out to nephew, let him know, my bad, I didn't mean that.

And naturally he responded to what he responded. But we family, like you can't have a spat or misunderstanding with your brother, your cousin. That's the course. That's how it's supposed to be. It ain't supposed to get no bigger than that. I don't know if he responded to what he responded. But we family. Like, you can't have a spat or misunderstanding with your brother, your cousin. That's how it's supposed to be. It ain't supposed to get no bigger than that. It's supposed to be understood. What's understood don't need to be explained.

See, a big dog can get checked if it's by the right person, if he got the right intellect. There's nothing wrong with being properly put in place if you out of place. That's what's wrong with half of us, that we feel like the young generation can't tell us nothing. You used to be young too.

And you had a mind, you had a spirit, and sometimes the young generation can teach the old dog a new trick if he's willing to listen. Now you also, on the album, you talk about Warren G. catalog that you have, some new music. No, Nate Dog.

Nate Dog, I said new Warren G. Nate Dog. So talk about that. So you have, how many Nate Dogg songs do you have, and how many are coming out, what's the plan for that? Because you say it on the album. What'd I say? I don't remember the exact line, but you talk about Nate Dogg having some Nate Dogg music.

I said I got Nate Dogg catalog in the pipeline. Mm-hmm. Pipeline. Yeah, Warren G told you to get what's mine, I got Nate Dogg catalog in the pipeline. You got it in the pipeline. So basically what that is, it's more about

lining up business for us to be able to own our thing. Nate Dogg's estate is with his family, Warren G's is with his, mine's is with mine. It's just a line of ownership. You understand what I'm saying? Teaching ownership through lyrics, because a lot of us make records, get our perception up, and then we sell it.

And then we think we did a good thing. And when you sell that, okay, if you get 100 million, what state you live in? Okay, knock off some taxes for that. Okay, how many family members you got? How many people in your family not working? Okay, half, that's gone. When you could have been having a pipeline forever,

forever and ever and ever, that your family can eat off of forever. Snoop Dogg ain't sold, it's publishing. Snoop Dogg own his label. So it's teaching. A lot of people selling their things, but what does that leave for the generation after you? Like think about the families that have those names

where their family members are still eating. Bob Marley. You can go to the Hilton's, you can go to the, the Crafts, you can just, bigger names. Rockefellers. Woltons. Yes, yes. Where it's like, they don't even know they great grandfather in the Eden.

Like it's supposed to be some of that. Cause we put all this work in. Now as a owner, it's my job to make sure that I teach and that I have, and I can show how to lead generational wealth. You know, that song is called Sophisticated Crippin' and you do say Warren G. said, get what's mine.

What does Warren G. mean to you? Warren G. probably the best friend that I got that only me and him understand each other. Like the passion that Warren G has for me and had for me as an artist in the beginning is like Don King, like a promoter who promotes a fighter. Like believing in Snoop before anybody else and then seeing Snoop do what he does

and still having that believability. And watching our friendship growing to like grown men and fathers and losing people in our lives you know when he lost his mom I didn't understand but I was there for him then when I lost my mom I didn't understand he was there for me there's been certain situations where we have become super close behind tragedy and behind love. And then at the same time, you got to look at this music industry. This music industry is trifling. It's crazy. You think about how he brought me to Death Row, but Death Row didn't sign him. That's crazy. So there's a lot of animosity and frustration and anger in him off of that.

Not at me, but at the situation at home. And as an artist, if you pushing for me, you want for me to do this. But as an artist, I'm feeling fucked up because they left my homeboy. So it's like, these are things that we never had a chance to like fully get an understanding on because it's pain. It's like the pain I had to deal with when I went through whatever I went through. Sometimes as men we know how to express that but as a friend we're always there for each other so if I can make that as the point our relationship is like that where it's more getting into life rather than music and fun.

I saw something recently, he was doing an interview and he said he felt snubbed during the Super Bowl performance, but then he also said, I just wanted to be there while they was making Missionary. He was like, I don't want no money and nothing like that. I just wanted to kick it with my people. Well, you know how it is when you're in the studio sometimes,

but here's what I want to say. His relationship with Dr. Dre is his relationship. His relationship with me is our relationship. When I'm working with Dr. Dre, I don't bring nobody with me. I bring myself, because I'm not responsible for nobody but me. Now, if Dr. Dre wants people to come, that's his job to say,

I need this person and that person. I've always been that way when it's time for me to do a job. I don't like bringing shit to the job that I'm gonna be accountable for. All I could be accountable for is me. So when I come to work, I show up by myself. I work with Pharrell by myself, Dr. Dre by myself. Certain motherfuckers, I don't bring that with me

because I don't know what you gonna do or how you gonna act. So when I'm going to work, when you go to work, who you bring with you? Just my brother. Who you come to work with? Myself. God. See what I'm saying?

So it's like, imagine you gotta go, I'm finna go to work right now, y'all come on. How much work you gonna really get done? Yeah, yeah. You know, I wanted to ask, you know, as an OG, OG You know back then dealing with the press and public was easier right it was magazines China 11 news is gone But now you got social media so when you look at all the stuff that you do you know whether it's the football league That got so many kids in the NFL and the givebacks and all the things that we can go on and on and on and then You hear people's opinions on when you did the crypto ball.

Does that bother you? No, I call it 30 for 30. Let me explain that to you. I DJed at the crypto ball for what? 30 minutes. Made a whole bunch of money, made a lot of relationships to help out the inner city and the community and teach financial literacy and crypto in a space that it don't exist. That's 30 minutes.

30 years, Snoop Dogg been doing great things for the community, building, showing up, standing up for the people, making it happen, being all I can be. So which one is it? 30 for 30. 30 minutes or 30 years? Oh, is it a crime?

Nope. I hated that, man. I ain't gonna lie, I hated how they came at you. It was so bad. I love how my people defended me, but I didn't give y'all no ammunition. Meaning that I never said nothing, so it was kinda becoming like,

damn, y'all keep riding on dog, and I ain't finna have that, y'all can't, but damn, he ain't said nothing. So it was like, I can't fight for another man that ain't gonna fight for himself. So tomorrow is it a crime, I'm fighting. Yeah. Yeah. And then they kept taking the video saying, well he said this about Trump back then,

but then he DJ'd. You didn't endorse nobody, you DJ'd a party. But those are bots. And then there's entertainers who was getting behind and then trying to make something out of it, which to me is like, most of those guys, they live off of the internet and live off of that energy. The things that I do, even if I would have done it for him

and hung out with him and took a picture with him, can't none of you motherfuckers tell me what I can and can't do. But I'm not a politician. I don't represent the Republican Party, I don't represent the Democratic Party. I represent the motherfucking Gangster Party, period, point blank.

And gee shit, we don't explain shit. So that's why I didn't explain, that's why I didn't go into detail when motherfuckers was trying to counsel me and say he a sellout. Even on my Instagram page after that, I would post shit and I would see motherfuckers like, oh he a sellout, you know what I would do?

Jump right in they motherfucking den with a video. You bitch ass nigga, what's happening nigga? Shut your bitch ass up. This Snoop Dogg nigga, what you gonna do? And guess what they would do? Oh man, I'm just a fan, you bitch ass nigga. What's happening, nigga? Shut your bitch ass up. This Snoop Dogg, nigga, what you gonna do? And guess what they would do? Aw, man, I'm just a fan, man. I didn't really, I'm sorry, man, Snoop, I just, yeah, nigga, you got me fucked up, nigga.

I jump all off in your shit, nigga, and talk to you face to face. Don't hit me on no hit sell out on Instagram or this and that, because I'm really engaging like that. You know what I'm saying? My work should speak for me. Don't take my personal or my business and try to involve it in my life on who I am as a person.

The things that I do in real life should matter to you more. You understand what I'm saying? Not what I do when I'm DJing or making music or doing this and that. What is he like as a real person? When you walk up on Snoop Dogg, what is his energy, what is his aura?

What is that that you get from me? Some people were saying that that was that was Trump cashing in a favor because Harry O got pardoned and you were instrumental in his Harry O getting pardoned and I mean I don't know if that's true. That's what the internet rumor was. The internet love sparking things but Trump did get Harry O out. That is a fact. On November 5th, 2018, at 6.33 a.m., a red Volkswagen Golf was found abandoned in a ditch out in Sleephole Valley. The driver's seat door was open. No traces of footsteps leaving the vehicle. No belongings were found, except for a cassette tape

lodged in the player. On that tape were ten vile, grotesque, horrific stories that to this day have been kept restricted from the public. Until now.

The best things in life are on the other side of difficult conversations, but most people avoid them, staying silent, missing opportunities and holding themselves back. I know this is true because I used to be one of those people.

As a kid, I struggled to fit in and I was afraid to speak up. That fear followed me into adulthood until I realized something powerful. Negotiation isn't a talent, it's a skill anyone can learn. And it starts with negotiating with yourself, breaking through fear, self-doubt and the limits we place on ourselves. Now I help people from all walks of life, whether it's people closing multi-million dollar deals, parents setting boundaries, students finding their voice or

professionals advancing their careers. If you want to handle tough conversations, get what you deserve and take control of your future, this podcast is for you. I'm Kwame Christian, host of Negotiate Anything, the number one negotiation podcast in the world where you'll learn one simple truth. You don't get what you deserve. You get what you negotiate.

I formed at the crypto ball for David Sacks, who's been a friend of mine for 15 years, who was head of the cryptocurrency situation that was put into that position. So it was more or less a relationship that I had with Charlamagne. And Charlamagne was put in the office by the president. But Charlamagne's been my friend for 15 years. And me and Charlamagne been getting money together and we working this crypto thing that nobody know about.

And then Charlamagne say, hey, dog, I got this crypto thing that nobody know about and then Charlamagne say dog I got this crypto play that's gonna bring some money back to the hood cool I'm with you you helping the hood out not knowing that the hood gonna talk Like what does that part work when I'm trying to help y'all but y'all talking? That's why a lot of times when people make it they don't come back. Hey, but every reason that's the truth I love you got so many the truth. Y'all love it. You got so many business ventures, y'all. Like, limitless, right?

How the hell, what made you say, like, I want a hockey team. I want to own a hockey team. How? It's different, Jess. You got to think out of the box. They ain't going to let us own no football team or no basketball team. So I got to go in an area where I could possibly actually own a lot of it. You know the people that own teams in those worlds that I just said, they don't own 50% of them.

They own pieces, little small increments. I'm trying to get 60, 70%. So that way it's really a ownership, you know what I'm saying? And I looked at that sport as wow, that's a great sport that nobody's paying attention to that has not been Brought to that level. There's no star power there yet I've always thought about businesses and places that haven't been affected yet I don't want to be in a lane where it's already working We want to go somewhere where it ain't working so we can create a whole new Avenue. Do you understand hockey? Do you watch hockey or yeah?

Well, I've been part of hockey for like 13-14 years like going to games. They have me calling the games. Like in LA, I'm the whole thing at the Kings game. Are you surprised of how far this kid from California went? Like it's almost like you know you are family so we look at you as uncle but when I seen you hosting the Olympics I'm like this is amazing. Yes. Like this is you know you are family so we look at you as on but when I seen you hosting the Olympics you know I'm like this is amazing yes like this is you know when you're talking about sports that I've never seen before heard so how is that experience? It's a dream come true I'm just living my life man my mother put the spirit in me she put the spirit in me as a kid to do the best

things that I can do while I'm on this earth and I understand why I'm here now I mastered loving me and loving people. Used to be a time where I was trying to figure that out and the moves that I made ruffled feathers because people was like, are you supposed to be gangster, homie? Why you being so nice and so cool? But to me, that is gangster.

You know what I'm saying? Gangster ain't pressing nobody, smashing on somebody, because we know the results of that. Gangster is being approachable, lovable, and still being respected. What part of your story do you think people misunderstand the most, and do you even care to correct them? I don't think there's no misunderstanding in my story. I think there has been transparency from day one

with me. I've been an open book. That's why people love Uncle Snoop, because they can touch him. When they start calling me Uncle, that shit blew my mind, because I was still in like my 30s. I'm like, why these niggas calling me Unc? But I had to understand that any time somebody was my uncle,

I fucking respected them. If I called you Unc, I respected you. Charlie Wilson was the first person I called Unc in this industry, Uncle Charlie. And I started to feel like, damn, am I becoming him? So it was like, it was more about respect and understanding that when you love yourself, people will love you back.

And be a vessel of information. Don't be disgruntled because you got done wrong or you didn't get this. Show them how to do it and show them how to get it right without running into them same walls you did. Man, we watched you evolve. It feel like we've watched you live so many different lives.

Was there ever a version of you that was hard to let go of? Yeah, I think that that gangster shit was hard to let go because I was fooled. I was fooled to thinking that it was making me who I was. And I was like, there was so much shit happening around it. And when I had to make a decision of, okay, I can't live like that no more, it was kind of hard to let go because it meant that I had to let the homies go. I had to let the relationships go. Because if you're going to cut ties, you got to cut ties with it all. If you want to separate.

Did they understand it? No way. No way, no understanding. But you teach understanding by being an example. Now they fully understand it. I got homies now that did 20 some years that when they get out, all they want to do is write. I got homies that went in as real writers and bang bang. When they get out, they want to do the right thing. They want to, dog, how you do it?

How do we live right? I'm going to school. I got a bike. I'm riding, getting my education. I'm trying to get me a degree. Like these is real bona fide gang bangers that my example is showing them that they can do something. So that means the world to me.

You know on the album you talk about one of your biggest regrets was not squashing out things with Pop. Yeah. That still sits with you to this day? It do. It do because he was really my friend. And you know, you guys sometimes motherfuckers be talking like they don't really know, but that was my friend

and he was like dear to me. And anytime you got a relationship with somebody and it's like, it's working, it's going good. And then y'all get an argument, then the nigga die. Like, come on man, like I didn't even get a chance, whether I was wrong or right, just to be able to get that follow up because that's how we was, we would always follow up

or either have some sort of connection. And I didn't get that. And then it was a lot of turmoil and then the death row niggas was hating on me and this and that, so it kinda like pushed the spirit in a different way. But the beautiful part was his mother was still here. And I got a chance to hug her and talk to her

and get, you know what I'm saying, the approval from her, which was his spirit, because he was always connected to her. So that gave me half clarity on where I was with him because his mother always had love for him. I guess you're speaking about forgiveness. Is forgiveness something you give easily or something you struggle to offer even to yourself?

I'm a Libra, so I forgive very easy. But it's a time when my forgiveness runs out because I'm so forgiven and it's like you can't just keep using me knowing that I'm gonna always give you that. At a certain point in time I gotta put the wall up to let you know that I forgave you it's in God's hands now. How do you even forgive yourself? I just live. That's what we supposed to do.

I know I'm gonna make some mistakes every day and I know I'm gonna get it right every day. It's just a matter of how many times I'm gonna make those mistakes and how many times I'm gonna get it right. Was the record, My Friend, was that hard to write? Oh my God. Wow.

Danone Porter sent me that record and when he sent it to me, he was crying on the track. Wow. Wow. Denon Porter sent me that record. And when he sent it to me, he was crying on the track. You could hear him crying, like, before he do his hook, certain pieces. And it took me, like, six days to even write my first couple of lines. And then when I wrote them, I went in the booth, and I was like, my spirit was, like, sad. I was like, I can't be crying singing this song. So then I got my spirit right, put the lyrics down,

and then I sent it to Danai. And he tells me, man, I didn't tell you, but I lost my brother too, right after yours. And I'm like, damn. It just was like the spirit of both of us losing our brothers, me writing this lyrics to this song, and then it was the point of listening to the song. I swear to God, man, I cried.

Like the first 20 times I heard this song, I just, it was one time I was listening to it and my wife was in there with me. She just got behind me like I was a little baby and just was holding me and just rubbing my back. I'm like, man, this is tough. Because when you lose people, as an artist, like you gotta hold it in and be like,

yeah, rest in peace, but that one was tough. This was my little bro, you know what I'm saying? Wanted to be like me, had him on the road with me, moving with me, all of the above. And this record, it's like when I sing it, when I hear it, it just was touching an emotion that had never been touched before. More than my mother.

Like even more than my mother. And it was like, okay, I just got past the point now where I could listen to it and watch it without crying. But if the wrong people in the room, I'm gonna cry. You think you'd be able to perform it? No way. Mm-hmm. No way.

Hey. It's that deep. And I never thought I would make a song like that that would make me cry. Nigga, you crying, nigga, off of your own song? I'm open like that. When you walk- Pause, pause, so you know you niggas be using that.

Pause. You ain't gotta pause that one now. Young niggas ain't gonna get me, niggas pause. Pause. All right, I'm gonna stop. When you lost people like that, that close to you, like, do you ever feel alone? Like, because you snoop, right?

You walk in the room, you a icon, people idolize you. But when you in a room full of people, do you still feel alone because you don't have those people that was that close to you? I think it just, it's certain. You know what music sparks that. Certain songs, like if these three words come on,

I'm gone, I'm gone. These three words. Because it's the last time that they heard him say your mother and your brother, it's like, why is you, come on Stevie? You heard me right now Like that record right there when it comes on. I don't care where I'm at. I Could be in a gang meeting

Real serious gang meeting and they'd be like yeah, we finna go on a mission in Hey man time out man and then do do do do. Amen, time out man, I'm making no money. It's one of their records, man. Has anybody ever tried to out smoke you? Yes, and them niggas died. Like you know how many people that tried to out smoke me, it was this one girl that wanted to smoke with me

and we had like a guitar like right over there so she smoking with me, All of a sudden she fall. Bam and her wig is stuck in the guitar. And niggas like help her out. We like no leave her ass over there niggas she wanted to smoke with the dog. Like we like I get challenged all the time and my thing is you know do your thing. You fucked the world up one good time. When you when you did that commercial or you know you put you put on your your story your

Instagram that you was you will stop smoking weed. Yeah you thought I had cancer some shit you just thought the worst shit. No everybody was like I'm not smoking no more. Snoop's quitting I'm quitting like I see so many people say they were quitting. Look I got a call from my athlete I ain't gonna say his name but this niggas a real big athlete and they said oh I need to know why you stopped so I can stop. Damn. I had to hit him. I said, niggas, motion.

Meek Mill was out there like, I'm quitting too. Everybody quit. Everybody quit. But Coil LaRae quit. Everybody quit. See, that let you know the dog has a strong. Absolutely. You do right, they'll follow.

Did they all give you the middle finger after? They was mad. But some of my businesses like Double Dutch, so when they thought I, like my cannabis businesses, they was in shock because that's a lot of money I make. And they was like, this nigga stops smoking weed. And I didn't tell them shit though. So when they finally got the word, they was like, oh my God,

we thought we was gonna lose the business. I'm like, nah, so's the one with the job. So I don't tell all my team what I do sometimes. Sometimes I'm just a spontaneous type of person where I gotta like, I'm instinct. I go, I'm based off of instinct. I remember I met you, I was so starstruck. This is the craziest thing, right?

I met you at Kevin Hart and Jeff Clantigan had a LOL party in LA, right? And I came, it was you, your wife, just a few people, it was just you, your wife, and like two other people in the section. And I was just standing there, I was like, oh my God, oh, Snoop, and he was like, Jess, come here, what's up?

And then I tried to be like cool and hit his blood, yo. I was stuck right there the whole fucking time. Stuck on Snoop, but you dead. They left him, his wife left, I'm still in the section. You still talking to Snoop, but you're still in the section. I swear, yo, I was like right there the whole fucking time. Stuck on stupid, you did. They left him, his wife left. I'm still in the section. You still talking about stupid shit. I swear, I was like, yo, I know I'm embarrassed as shit. I got so many things I wanna ask him, but I can't.

I'm too high. That's exactly what the fuck I did. That's what it's supposed to be, Jackson. Yeah, but it was lit. They stuck like a statue. I was. And what you? They didn't even come back and get me, yo.

I just, they left. They left you, you just sitting there smoking. And I was just right there chilling. Wiz left you, you just didn't smoke it. Whiskleavie did that to me one time too. Did you smoke it high? I'm high as a motherfucker right now. Does it take a lot? Are you?

No, I mean, I think it's the weed I smoke get me there quick, you know what I'm saying? I smoke death row weed, it's available in stores everywhere. One time you told me don't ever smoke Moon Rock. Oh, please don't. I'm gonna tell you that again, nigga please don't. That shit got so much shit in it,

I don't know what is in there. It gets you fucked up. I don't wanna be that high. So you do get too high, you ever got too high? Yes, I don't like that. I don't like it at all. And you don't do edibles. I heard you don't like edibles.

No way, no way. That's all I like is edibles. I can't be in control no more. Too long. I can take my whole body and just, I don't like that. See, that's how I get when I smoke. And see, the edibles give me time. The edibles give me time to get goofy.

See what I mean? Your metabolism is different than mine's when it comes to intake. Who the hell gave you an edible? You know what, I ate something and didn't know that it was in there. Infused. Oh man, that's the only thing. You know what, I ate something and didn't know that it was in there. You know? You fused. Oh man, that's the only thing.

You know what I'm saying? People like making shit and eating it. Dog, don't eat that, why? Oh shit, fuck. Was it somebody rich that gave you that? Cause you know in the future, if shit go bad for you, you can just- I don't fuck with rich niggas like that. Oh okay, you can just sue them later.

In the future you can just sue them later. You know, no. You got it? No. You know, you can just sue him later. Oh, no. You got it. No. You know, Fat Joe, I saw Fat Joe saying, cause he got the new part with him and Jadakiss, and he said, Kendrick Lamar surpassed you and Tupac as the most dominant rappers of the West Coast.

What are your thoughts on that? He can't say that. He not from the West Coast. And that's no disrespect, that's just facts. Like, you can't say that cause you not from the West Coast. You would have to ask the West Coast. That's like me coming out here saying that, um, Jay-Z ain't the king, or whoop, whoop,

whoop, whoop. I don't know who run New York. This, this y'alls. But I do know when it come to the West Coast, everybody riding with Kendrick, hands down. And it's been that way. So he is the king. That is no doubt. He is the king, but as far as what Fat Joe said, you would have to ask the whole West Coast and the West Coast would have to give you because you got certain people from the Bay who ride with the Bay. You understand what I'm saying? So it's like,

we love what we love, but you can't say that if you're not from that. I couldn't come out here and say, who's the king of New York when I don't live here and I don't have a personal opinion from the people who actually run New York. Yeah, saying surpasses, that's a strong, strong word. Kendrick wanted them ones, don't get me wrong, but y'all have stood the test of time.

Even, you know, Pac is immortal. We talking about 30 years of being on top. Yeah. Not in the middle or down there. It ain't never been a time when I was down there I've always been up to even when my records wasn't hot. You think about everything I've done from the chronic to now. You can go to Dogfather say say, yeah, that wasn't all that, but Snoop Still was doing other things. You can go to No Limit and say it wasn't all that, but it was other things happening other than music.

So it's always been a moment of he's always been here and it ain't reliant upon music. So until other things happen outside of music, then we can't use that word surpass. That's just my opinion. Absolutely. What do you hope your grandkids say about you when you no longer here?

Thanks for the buildings, the money destruction, all that? Well, you know, my oldest grandson, he had did an interview when he was like eight years old and he was like, what do you love about your grandfather the most? He said, he pays all our bills. And I was like, that was the greatest answer that I I love hearing that from my grandson because I love responsibility

and I love the fact that they know that I'm there for them so when they get to a point to take care of themselves they'll know what it feels like to have somebody who had they back who was up close and personal real with them my grandfather meant the world to me. I used to watch wrestling with him, T-Birds, played the green onion, put 45s on for him. All of those experiences that I had with my grandfather,

I'm giving to my grandkids and I hope one day that they say that, man, my grandfather gave me so much to run with that I'm able to make moves bigger than the moves that he made. Do you think you've already fulfilled your purpose? Are you still searching for what God really put you in? I know what I'm here for.

I put a gospel album out on April 27th from the spirit of my mother on Death Row Records. Who would believe that? So I understand what I'm here for. I know I'm one of them chosen ones. I know what my spirit is here to do. Been through the fire so I can get to the light and I just know that I'm one of them chosen ones. I know what my spirit is here to do. Been through the fire so I can get to the light and I just know that I'm being used for a certain reason.

I know I'm an angel. I know that they put this kind of pressure on the ones that can handle it the most. I know what my purpose is. I know why so many people love me and magnate to me so I do the right things and try to stay on the right side. You know, I do wrong every once in a while. That's part of life, but I try to do more right

and try to be an example of what you're supposed to be. Is there a moment you wish you could relive? Not to change it, but just to feel it more deeply. Oh man, falling in love with my wife for the first time. That was a beautiful moment right there, man. I have butterflies in my stomach and all kind of stuff. Like, just that pure feeling of that, going back to that. Because after you have so much success,

you forget about what regular stuff feels like. That was special, man, just thinking, like, man, I'm gonna get to do it to her. Jesus Christ. That was beautiful, now y'all moment left a legacy. That's right. The album is out this Friday. What you want to hear off the album? We're going to play what you want to hear? What joint you want to hear? It's your album. Man, let's play You Want My All with Ikeem Ali.

You like that? Man, that nigga cold. I thought he was Wayne at first. I was like, who is that? Wait till you see the video, nigga. I went back to the 70s on each one. Is it a crime is hard too though. I mean, I'm not a big fan of the 70s.

I mean, I'm not a big fan of the 70s. I mean, I'm not a big fan of the 70s. I mean, I'm not a big fan of the 70s. I mean, I'm not a big fan of the 70s. I mean, I'm not a big fan of the 70s. I mean, I'm not a big fan of the 70s. I mean, I'm not a big fan of the 70s. I mean, I'm not a big fan of the 70s. I mean, I'm not a big fan of the 70s. I mean, I'm not a big fan of the 70s. I mean, I'm not a big fan of the nigga cold. I thought he was Wayne at first. I was like, who is that?

Wait till you see the video, nigga. I went back to the 70s on these niggas. Is it a crime is hard too though? Is it a crime is hard? That's hard. Is Ikeem, he on death row? Not yet. Okay, okay.

You see I said that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He fits though, don't he? He hard. Out to A. Oh, he from Atlanta. You didn't know that? Nah, I never heard.

I literally thought it was Wayne. I'm like, that ain't me sound like Wayne, but I'm like, nah, that ain't Wayne. Look, keep him up. He got cold videos where he just a player. He a cold player. Where, where, where? How'd you meet him? Sweet Lou Williams, basketball player, brought him to me. But I was a fan of him because I was watching him on Instagram doing his little get down. And Sweet Lou brought him to me about four years ago. And we just jailed. I'm like, this nigga's a player. He's a musician.

He's a player. He's a player. He's a player. He's a player. He's a player. He's a player. He's a player. He's a player.

He's a player. He's a player. He's a player. He's a player. He's a player. He's a player. He's a player. He's a player. He's a player. But I was a fan of him because I was watching him on Instagram do his little get down, and Sweet Lou brought him to me about four years ago, and we just jailed. I'm like, this nigga's a player. He's a musician, he's sharp, I like his style, I like his get down, and he ain't afraid.

Like I say, I always be getting with people in the beginning. Like, I don't know how for some reason I find them, they find me, and then before you know it, they become Future, they become Wiz Khalifa. They become big artists. I don't even know if y'all know it or not, on Future's first album, my homeboy DJ Funky, I was in Atlanta in a hotel. He was like, man, I got this artist named Future.

He wants you on the album. I said, how much you got? He said, he got $7,500. I said, bring that shit, nigga. I want to go to the hotel. The nigga came to the hotel with one of these mics, nigga, and put that motherfucker up. And I was on my one knee on the side of the bed

dropping that motherfucking verse to that shit. As soon as I finished, I'm like. Then five years later, nigga, Future was the biggest nigga in the world. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And it fucked me up. It was like, damn. It's moments like that throughout my whole career

where it's always been that young artist that either somebody put me in touch with or either I find them, we do something, and then look at Wiz Khalifa. That motherfucker gone. Gone. He gone. And I love it.

All right. Let's play both then. All right. Yeah, let's get into the video. Everybody's into the crime of October London and Atlanta. All right, and then the third one played me and OG Snoop. OK. She's got some sexy red.

She want to turn around. But tell them all who was on the Defraud roster now before we get into the joints. We got October London. He been up here? He get busy. Love that. I love that.

Charlie Burrell out of Pasadena, R&B, Osgo. Jane Hancock, R&B, out of Richmond, California. Those are my rock solid acts that I stand on right now, but I have other artists that are associated with the label that will eventually get you guys' ear and attention. Don't really like speaking to things that ain't on the radar. You know, we don't talk about it, we like to be about it.

And what I like about October is, I was watching when he first dropped, and it was y'all show, and the girl was like, the rebirth of Marvel, she's like, oh, he already done messed up. Why are you coming out with rebirth of Marvel? That's the wrong thing. I'm like, yes, I love it, Char like, oh, he already done messed up. Why he coming out with rebirth of Marvin? That's the wrong thing. I'm like, yes, I love it, Charlamagne jumping,

right into where I need him to go. And the homegirl was like, but you ain't even heard it yet. And da da da da da da da. I'm like, yeah, see, this is what I wanted to create that because his music and his talent is gonna outweigh everything. And then when I seen y'all had him on the show, I was like. Now he's super talented. He gets busy.

It wasn't a, hey man, do me a favor. It's like, let the work speak. Like I want to sign artists that can have that ability to make things happen without me to worry. And we'd love to have Snoop with you. If you bring Snoop with you to an interview, like nah, you should be strong enough to get that on your own.

And thank you, I appreciate that. That was love. He needed to see that and he needed to And thank you, I appreciate that. That was love. He needed to see that. And he needed to feel that. Because I showed him the interview. I said, this is what you need to understand. When I gave you the title of that album, it put pressure on you. It put immediate pressure on you.

That you can handle it. That you sound good. And the ladies say you look good. So let's work. Do you post everything yourselves, Luke? All day long 24-7 They didn't fuck around and taught me Instagram see that's what happened a lot of those platforms I don't really know how to work them. But Instagram, when they taught me that shit, in my mind I said, I don't have a network.

I don't have a TV show. This finna be my whole motherfuckin' network and my TV show. I'm gonna give you every piece of me that you wouldn't imagine. I'm gonna make you laugh, cry, put music on there. If I was a TV network, what the fuck would my TV network look like?

It would look like my Instagram channel. Unexpected, but it's some entertaining shit that you can look forward to. But you did just sign a deal with NBC Universal for Death Row Pictures. That's way different. That's hello. That's TV.

Filming TV. Hello. Hello. I know the movie was in the works with, who was it, Kenya? Am I tripping? Who was it? I forgot. The biopic?

Yeah. Nah, the biopic is, what, I'm moving on down the line. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's about to happen. Got a couple of great things that's about to happen. You found the person to play you and everything? Mm-hmm. OK, OK.
