This is our Christmas episode But I'll be very honest with you It's still August And we are in We are in heaven right now The compound Yes, we are in the compound of all the compounds A lot can be said

About our guest today But in my opinion He's probably hands down the most beloved, unique, charismatic, talented emcee and hip-hop culture, period, and music period, and life period. Facts. I mean, hip-hop is 45 years old, and I said, period. If I ponder and gave a thorough investigation,

you actually might catch me saying that he's easily, if not the top three, but one of the best voices in hip-hop. Yes. He is the coolest of the cool. His catalogs outstanding, his anthems or people's high-lifes. It's the craziest live show. ever seen. And I guarantee he's your mom's favorite rapper.

That's, yo, ladies and gentlemen, your mom's favorite rap. Straight up. Snoot. Hi, mother. Doggy, dog. Yes. In the building. Thank you, boy.

Appreciate that. And that roll call was off the hook, man. I'm a rapper, though, so I stay ready. I ain't got to get ready. Oh, yeah. Keep bars on that. Yeah, your album, like, my mom would, like, she, because I was talking to DJ Quick, we had DJ Quick on the show early.

And his album I couldn't listen to the country. But when Doggy Style dropped, that was the one album. Like, my mama was saying it ain't no fun with me. Shut out to moms and all the real mothers around the world that was allowing their kids to listen to that Snoop Dog music back then. I guess they knew that I didn't really mean no harm. I just was the young voice. And at the same time, I appreciate the mothers for allowing y'all to listen to it because

we grew together. Oh, yeah, absolutely. I'm literally out of breath from just being on the basketball court. I don't know how you do it, bro. I don't know. Lead us off, Fonte. All right. Where'd you grow up?

Right, right. Where were you born? LBC. I grew up in Long Beach, California, on the east side of Long Beach. Okay. And what was your, when you first started, like, what was music like in your household? In my household, music was like, Isley Brothers, my mama loves, some Teddy Pentegrass, OJ, stylistics, Manhattan's, the Dramatic.

Dramatic, I'm about saying, yeah. Definitely. Gat band. The daily black nutrients. Yeah, come on, man. I was dipped in the sauce, man. Okay, well, shock us, like, what join, like, straight, Philly, what join?

What, all right, what join, like, would you, would we be shocked that you listen to? That was outside of the lane of what you're known for listening to, your Cadillac music. Like, what? I loved, um, Raj Stewart was hot to me when I was, um, he was dope. Like, I loved his getting on, like, the way he sung his, he seemed like he was singing off what he was on.

And it seemed like he was on the wrong bar. But he was always in the right, you know what I'm saying, position. Like, I love the way his voice sounded rock. Yeah, he had a raspy, soulful voice. He was cold to me. I love me some rods through it. Okay. Yeah, thanks.

Ex. Oh, shit, man, now. I feel that. Did you have any siblings growing up? I got two brothers? You youngest, older. Older brother and a younger brother. And then my mother adopted my cousin, and we made him my brother.

So it was four boys in the house, you know what I'm saying, raised by one single mother. Music was key, but I probably was the only one that really had a knack for it, like, was singing the choir and talent shows, rapping other people rapes like the Sugar Hill Gang and Jimmy Spicer. when they first came out, I learned all of their rapts and shit because I was like, these niggas is fly.

So I learned all of their raps and went to school and just put my name in their rapes. That was like my first, you know, intervention with me trying to become a rapper, listening to good music and seeing if I could emulate it and not being afraid of doing it in front of people, even though if I was whack or good. Yeah, yeah.

So when did you first start realizing that you had a knack or a gift for emceeing or singing or, you know, just overall talent. When did you realize? 86. 85 I was cool. I was a, you know, basic rapper, you know,

rapping about cars and women pools and shit I didn't have. You know what I'm saying? You know the old basic rap back then in the beginning. I got a big old house and a big old car. Right. And they didn't have nothing. You know what I'm saying? Then I gradually grew into, you know, style.

Like, what style do I want to use? And watching and studying the greats. listening to how they vocals and how they control the microphone, not just what they were, but their vocal tones. There was a lot of studying that one in the, you know, what I was doing. I wasn't just trying to be a regular rapper. I wanted to be great. I wanted to find ways to perfect styles and perfect things that nobody had done,

but at the same time watching people who had inspired me. Yeah, I always heard you say that Slick Rick was on your family. That was my man. Love him to death, and that's still one of my friends to this day. Like, when I got a chance to meet him, he became my friend. And it's like to have somebody like that, that you idolize and that you're able to finally get a relationship with it's beautiful because he's very, you know, unique. And I still look at him as the same slick Rick when I was a kid because he still dressed fresh, a hundred chains on, still got the coldest conversation. And he remained him at all times.

And that was, like, helpful to me to find out who I was and try to remain me and not try to get caught up in the phase with rapping hard or rapping fast or rapping loud. because when I was coming out, most rappers was rapping like aggressive and hard and loud. Yeah, very aggressive. It was a couple of smooth ones, but not the pocket I was trying to find. So, well, with slick Rick, though,

I mean, your baritone is also key to your low voice, your baritone is key to your delivery. But, I mean, how did you, did you finesse that style that you have now, your snarl? I wouldn't know how to, it's somewhere between, snagglepuss, flickerick, and almost Don Cornelius.

I think what it is, Boosey Collins said it was like a cartoon mind. He's like, you got a cartoon mind. So a lot of times when you rap and the voices that you hear will be, you know, cartoon related. You know, some sort of cartoon that I may have heard or seen as a kid and I emulate that and put that vocal into my rap with the delivery. Like you said, Snagglepuss, like, because to me, because the way he talked is sort of kind of like way I swing it when I'm rapping. Right.

So even as a teen, you had this style developed? Nah, hell no. Hell no. I would hate for you niggas to hear the music. Oh, that's what I'm trying to lead to. Nick, no. I hope you ain't got to. You know, some niggas be like, well, coming up next.

We found the 1987 version when you was Snoop Rock Ski and you thought you... What was your first name? Snoop Rock Ski. Yes, yes. I rolled with that shit for a minute. It's weird, I mean, because it's most, most West Coast, yeah, most West Coast cats I know won't even admit to having any sort of East Coast influence. Fuck that. Niggin, we loved everything about the East Coast.

If you don't knock it off, nigga, y'all niggas was the pavement to our walking on shit. Nigel, we wanted to be like y'all with the belt buckles, the mint coats, the bomber jackets, the motherfucking cangles, the gold chains, all of that shit. We wanted to be what y'all was because y'all created that. And I say, y'all, I say the Eastern General because they, from Philadelphia to New York, a nigga from Stady B, the motherfucking, all these niggas that had all that flavor and that style, we watched that, and then we emulated and put our own flavor on it.

That's how the hip-hop game was created. Somebody had to start it. Somebody had to see it, and then add their pieces on to what they saw. And then that's what created hip-hop. That's why it's growing into different nations now. That's why people in different countries do hip-hop. They can't even speak English, but they do hip-hip. hip-hop. What was the first show that you've ever seen? Concert was.

Music, hip-hop or... The Whiz. What? Wait, what? The Whiz in 1979, what Stephanie Mills was playing on. Oh. I saw that one. Were? Yeah, that shit was dope, girl. Dope.

Wow. Live. Who took you? Mom, did you see it? Yeah, you know, it was like a church thing. That's when I was a good boy and, you know, the church got us a couple of tickets to go see the Whiz. You know, we're going to take Brother Snoopy with us. He's been acting good and chutch. You know, you're going to get to go hang on out with us.

Chutch. Well, all right. So hip-hop-wise, what was the first show you saw? Run DMC. Fresh, Fresh, Fess. Yeah. Fresh, fresh, yeah. 84.

85. In, 84, 85. Okay. Long Beach. Yeah, when we shut that shit down. Okay, I was going to ask, was it the Long Beach show that? Yep. Can you tell, all right, of all the idea of a riot breaking out

at a hip-hop concert, I'll never forget, like, the coverage and write-on magazine where, like, they had to... I remember Vanessa Williams was even at the show for some reason, but now I know Russell Simmons the way I know him. Yeah, of course, Vanessa Williams was there. But...

But they had to give, like, a press conference and the whole idea of rap being violent or whatever, like... It put my city on the matter. It started with this... That's how I know what Long Beach is. Right. Can you recall what happened at the show?

Like, what... I was a youngster. I probably was, like, 13, 14. I couldn't get in, so I ended up sneaking in one of the homies, and when I got in, they just didn't have no security? No, it was a good show, it was tight. It was like L.L. Houdini and all of them, but what the problem was, it was some L.A. niggas that came down to Long Beach,

and the L.A. Niggas was basically known for just, you know, when you go to L.A., they fuck the concerts up, and, you know, they run everything. They came in Long Beach and then realized we was deep, and we was all one gang at one time. It was three different gangs in Long Beach, but they all was together. at that particular time. And when they tried to come and do some shit, it happened to be doing the intermission.

And I spoke with Leora to find out exactly what the moment was. And Leora told me, he was like, it was a break between acts. And when the acts would have a break, they wouldn't have a DJ and nobody playing on music. And it just went black on stage. And that's what niggas seen each other was like, I think it was between LL and Houdini.

Because LL came out with All Red on, and Our City is all Crips. We didn't have, and that's when Bloods and Crips wasn't cool. all like now is way better. But back then it was no dialogue, no understanding. When he came out with that red on, niggas was like... That was problematic.

He wanted him. You know what I'm saying? Like it was shit that was going on from that perspective, and then the L.A. niggas came and tried to push up in Long Beach, and the Long Beach niggas had to defend their turf, and then it was some essays there and it was just a bunch of mayhem that had nothing to do with the concert. And it fucked the concert up, and it put our city

on the map for all the long ways. But didn't I came and cleaned it up. All right, so speaking of those early tapes that you made, how did you, like was 213 your first project? What was your first development actually in doing tapes? No, my first development was probably 83. It was a rapper named Captain Rap, Long Beach. He had a song called Bad Times.

Oh, Captain Rat? Yeah, he's from Long Beach. Jimmy Jam, okay. Yeah, so he lived, his mama lived on Elm Street, which was like the Gangbank Street, 21st in Elm Street, and I lived on 23rd in Locust, which was like three or four blocks away. And I heard that Captain Rap was over there, so I had made a cassette. You know, you push record and play that old-school shit.

You know what I'm rapping into the cassette. Yeah. Did that, they did like about five songs. They were all whacked. Went over the sitting, nigg, and he listened to him, he was like, no, you ain't ready. You need to b'b-bop-up in the game. He was, I appreciated that. because now I hear him and see him in real life right now today,

and I remember how he treated me and how he was to me on some real shit like. And he was like the first rapper from Long Beach to have a song out, but at the same time, he didn't have no more songs out. So when I listened to his song, I was like, okay, I want to make a hit, but I don't want to just make one hit. You know what I'm saying? Like, I'm going to learn from this. Like, fuck that, I'm too greedy.

I want more. So he was just pimping that one song. I got no follow-up and just nothing else. I don't know what happened, you know? Around that time, West Coast rap was limited. That was fast West Coast rap was like bad times. That's what we were rapping like that. You know what I'm saying?

So that shit came and went. Did Todity Tea have an effect on you? Bataram. Toddy T is one of the coaches in my football league. Wow. Yeah. Me and him been friends for the past 25 years. But Todity T had a real big effect because I was a drug dealer.

The batteram was really real. like we would really see it come through the neighborhoods. And that song was so symbolic to West Coast music because it was like the first time that we had a record that was about us and the shit we was going through that everybody on the West could relate to that was selling drugs. And most drug dealers became rappers. You know what I'm saying?

Because that's what Taddy T&M was. They were drug dealers that were rappers. They just so happened to be making music because they were like, fuck if we got a spare time, this makes some music. It was him and another rapper named Mix Master Spade. That was the shit. He used to rap like he was in church like, Oh, welcome party people.

I'm so glad you're here. Got the ladies in the fun. This whole rap sound like that. Oh, vocalist. Deakin, yeah. He was cold with it. Damn, I got to look at him. He had singles out or?

Hell yeah. What's his name? Tottie T and Mix Masters Spade. Yep, Mixed Masters. Oh, Miss Master Spade. Yes, sir. Okay. Baby for NWA.

They were. They were the ones before NWA's. Like, they were from Compton. They was representing that gangster shit. They was real drug dealers. They're the ones, not the tools. Did you have any experience, like any Uncle Jam situations or any of those? Actually, Uncle Jam, Roger Clayton, rest in peace, came to Long Beach in 1990 and was

working a club called The Tojams. And that's what me and Domino used to rap at. You know, Domino. Yeah. Ghetto. We was rapping there, and the twins and Warren G. And the whole little clique, we was all rapping there. He kind of, like, knew that me and Domino had some special

because he would always separate us and let us, like, come in a little booth. He had, like, a space booth in the air, like, old-school shit, like, up here, but it's over the crowd. He would let us come up in there and let us rap. And it's, like, you could tell that he knew that we were special. And I didn't even know this motherfucker was Uncle James. until after the fact. Because he wasn't like, I'm Uncle James.

He's just like, it's Roger Clayton. And then I was telling people, yeah, I did this with Roger. Like, you know Uncle Jam? I'm like, who was Uncle Jam? Like, when did his party start? I've heard of his parties, but I just don't know the... 70s, late 70s. Oh, he went back that far.

Okay, I don't know. I think George Clinton blessed him. I think George Clinton was like, you know what? You're the young dude out here in L.A. that's pushing and promoting my shit and doing that thing. And I think he took it on to say, all right, I'm Uncle Jam. You understand? I'm Uncle Jam's army.

Because I'm part of, you know, what George and them is doing, and I'm just a culmination of it. Like, you know how it is. They inspired us. Everything Uncle Jam is funk-based. Everything that we do is funk-based because those were the originators of what we love. Them, Rick James, yeah, being the whole funk. Man, can you explain to us the importance of the Rhodium and, like, what that was?

I heard always, it was a flea market. Yeah, it was a flea market, but it was the spot that NWA made their first, like, mixtapes that really broke ice, like dope man, gangster, gangsta, all that shit was in there first, like, on mixed tapes. So they was like there making like songs with Cube, would be rapping and Dre would be on the turntables and it was like jacking for beats before jacking for beats. You know what I'm saying? But Dr. Dre was doing the mixing and taking niggas beats and Ice Cube was rapping and

fucking it up. And they was rapping gangster shit. And back then it wasn't common to rap gangster shit. More rappers were, you know, rap. the right way of, you know, politically correct. Yeah. Like, K. Arrest Martin didn't give a fuck.

He was going hard. You know what I'm saying? He was one nigga. Just Ice didn't give a fuck. He was hard. You know what I'm saying? There was certain niggas that just didn't care. Ice T didn't give a fuck.

He was hard. But some of them was just like, you know, Raqin was hard, but I never heard him cuss. Right. Like, I wanted to hear him cuss. Oh, except for Mahagana. Mahogany, he said, Oh, man.

I was like, yo, he cursed. On the original of my melody, he says, pull up a chair and I'm a tear and I'm a tear shit up. I forgot. That ain't the world. Shit, tear shit up. I want them the motherfucker.

Give me some good shit, bro. A win is a win. A win is a win. I don't care what you're saying. Yep, that's me, Cliver Taylor the 4th. You might have seen the skits, the reactions, my journey from basketball to college football, or my career in sports media.

In 2023, former bachelor star Clayton Eckerd found himself at the center of a paternity scandal. The family court hearings that followed revealed glaring inconsistencies in her story. This began a years-long court battle to prove the truth.

You doctored this particular test twice in so-ins, correct? I doctored the test ones. It took an army of internet detectives to crack the case. I wanted people to be able to see what their tax dollars were being used for. Sunlight's the greatest disinfectant. They would uncover a disturbing pattern. Two more men who'd been through the same thing. Greg Alespian and Michael Nanchini.

My mind was blown. I'm Stephanie Young. This is Love Trap. Laura, Scottsdale Police. As the season continues, Laura Owens finally faces consequences. Ladies and gentlemen, breaking news at Maricopa County as Laura Owens has been indicted on fraud charges. This isn't over until justice is served in Arizona. Listen to Love Trapped podcast on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

So for those tapes, like were you an art and collector of them? Like, as far as Dr. Dre's concern, were you, was it a goal for you to like, okay, one day I got to get to him? One day I wanted to get to Steve. Steve Yano, he was the one that ran the rodeium swap meet. Oh, so you just want to get your product into him? I just want to get to him because to me, fuck them. He was the one because he could get you out there. I wasn't good enough for them.

I don't want to go to them and get them music that wasn't dope as theirs. Like that's the kind of rapper I was. Like, I never wanted to rap for Drey I wanted to get down for NWA because I didn't think I was ready. Like, so I would rather make music and get ready. And then once they discover me and feel like I'm ready, then we make that happen. And that's exactly what happened.

Go ahead. Oh, so from the first, explain this exactly how when you first started, when you Warren and Nate, form two and three, when did y'all start recording together? Well, me and Warren G was friends from, like, elementary school. I met Nate Dog in high school in 86. When I was in the 10th grade, he was in the 12th grade.

We had a class together. We just used to be fucking around, you know, beating on the table and singing and rapping. Then we had seven period together, which was PE, and we never went to that, so we would always be singing and shit in the back of the gym. But Warren G was my dog, and Warren G was always wanted to do music with me, but we never, like, did music. So then I figured out a way to get all three of us together. And once we got together

and got past all the arguing and fighting this shit, but them niggas used to fight all the time, Warren G&A, though. Them niggas can not stand each other. That's why it fucks me up if they got all the fucking hits together. Right, right, right. And them niggas was always fighting each other.

And a brother-like way or just like, I really don't. And a brother-like, way, like, you know how brothers is? Like, what the fuck is y'all? And I'm in the middle of this shit. Like, what the fuck is y'all fight? You're talking about. This is bullshit. And this is even back then, even before y'all was on. Before records.

Wow. Before the, no, it happened a lot before the records. When the records came out, only conflict was like just in the studio. You know, Nate dog, like, doing the shit a certain way. He like, fuck that. He hard-headed in the studio. He, like doing shit. No, fuck that.

I'm doing it this way. I'm singing the motherfucker the way I want to sing it. Nate was always singing? Always. Was he ever emcee at any point in his life? Never. Never, but he could. Okay.

He could. You know, like I said, when I met him, we was rapping and singing in the back of the class. Like, he wasn't just coming on, a nigger was rapping with me. You know, I was, you know, beating on the table and shit rapping and shit at the same time. And he would come in and rap, and then certain points he would maybe sing some shit, and he'd be like, oh, that was flawed. And he always had that smooth voice? Always had that shit.

Like, he sounded like an R&B nigga that, to me, he always sounded like the dude from a, what's the group, mind-blowing to see? Heatways. Johnny Wilder. That, nigga. He sound just like us. If Nate, when he used to sing always and forever, he sounded exactly like. Damn.

Like, niggas just sing that for the homies. Nick, sing, always in forever, Cuff. Always and forever. Nah, niggas in the room. This niggas sing. The high parts, too. Niggas. Yeah.

So from the time when y'all started making records, I've always heard you credit. the DOC is actually teach you how to write rhymes, or structure your rhymes, rather. How did you go from, like, just freestyleing, like, how did you start developing, you know, your pin game before meeting Dre and doing deep cover? Freestyleing was my main thing,

because it was easy for me to come to my head real quick. I would always, you know, I was quick with it. And then I started writing, but my rhymes that I wrote were, like, so basic. Like, I would freestyle complex shit, but I would write basic shit, and I couldn't understand, like, why the fuck am I so basic when I'm writing?

But I ain't, you know, basic when I'm freestyling, because I guess it was a more challenge. You're freezing up. Exactly. So then I started saying, fuck it. When we started making tapes,

I just started going in there just saying shit, like, fuck, I ain't going to write no shit. And that shit was sounding better than the shit I wrote. And then once I got with, you know, different producers and certain motherfuckers was giving me game on, this is a 16 bar. What's up? 16 bar.

That's when the shit started here and in here. Nigger rap forever. You know, back then, we had 100 motherfucking bars. You know, that's what rappers did back then. Niggas ain't know how to break that shit down. You know, we just rap too we couldn't rap no more. So then once a nigga learned how to structure, I was like, cool, I got it.

But then when I got with Drin DOC, DOC showed me how to make songs. Like, I would bust, or at least they bust something. I bust like three minutes. He'd be like, all right. See what you said right here? That's the hook. what you said over here, that's the last 16.

Over here, it's the first four. Right here, that's the next eight. Like, he would take my shot. No, restructure it. This nigga was, like he worked for motherfucking Microsoft, nigga. For real.

Or point plans. Yeah, nigga, know I put the thing together. Like, even when it came to G thing, like, I wrote it on the east side. But the last part, I was stuck. And he came in. And he, because it's something I had said a long time ago, and he was like, nigga, remember that shit where he was like this, that and this and this? Because I said that in the freestyle.

When I was just freestyle in one time, nigga, it's Dr. Dr. Dreene and Snoop, oh, I'm in the fifth and a, and we do it like this and that. And he was like, yeah, do that and put that at the end and then put my name in there. What? I'm like, what my dude is. What's your opinion now on younger emcees and being able to free? freestyle versus not. They're saying what it used to be, you know. Like basketball ain't what it used to be.

Football in what it used to be. You can't expect them to be on the level of the game that ain't the same. You know, when we came out, you had to have skills like that. I remember I had to battle like 40 niggas in New York one night. Like on some real shit and then corrupt stepped up and served about a thousand, I'm not making this shit up. It was like a karate movie, niggas. That niggas was running up with the same outfits on.

We fucking niggins up. But that's what hip hop was. For me, when I came in in the 80s, I started rapping like 84, 85. I had to battle about 100 niggas before I even got to a microphone. Before I even got to a microphone. Then when I got to a microphone, it would be like a house party.

And if you ain't saying the right shit, Nicky, they... DJ put on some shit like, get out of here. I see niggas get shut down. They got house parties. Then I started doing talent shows. So it was like I started getting familiar with the mic and my voice.

Then I started recording myself. Like I hear what I sound like, all right, my voice need to be like this. Not all. Rapping all loud and talking like that. That ain't me. I need to be in pocket. Damn, see, that's how. Usually people that have low register, they do that a lot.

They practice and practice. Yeah. And then they find their zone. That's weird that you knew to discover that even without. someone, you know, instructing you to practice on tape. Ain't that idea is for a drummer, too? My son's just different. Mine's it was more like, there's the basement going there,

don't come out until after five hours. Like, it was just, it wasn't like, let me find my style. It was more like, yeah, it's better be home right after school. How do you like, for example, like, if I say, give me some Al Green drum and then give me some James Brown drum. Well, that, see, the thing is. Is that the mic? Even, I think even beyond drumming, I am, I mean, I'm a record collector.

And I process information different. So for me, I've discovered that it's really in the microphone and in the mixing. I mentioned in the style also. So if you want Al Jackson and I know that, okay, you want, I'm so glad you're mine or whatever, then I know, okay, I got to tune this down and all that stuff. But that really just comes from listening to, listening to drummers and knowing how to tune my drums to sound like theirs. It's not even a technique.

So I consider myself more like a mirror than an actual person with the style. Because I notice you can get those sounds. It's like, I listen to you. I like, okay, he can get any sound, he won't. Like the boots, y'all be playing with all kinds of sounds. Yeah. The sound I like us when y'all did the, If you're worried about that

That end drum part Baby, baby Don't worry you know that you got me Hey Thank you, bro I appreciate that Come on, man I almost got talked out of that

The label was like, dog, y'all got a hit Don't do this fancy The thing was we lived in London We had exiled to the UK from like 93 to about 97, even though we was living like both in Philadelphia and abroad,

but we were touring more abroad. And so that's when drum and bass was just starting to pop off, garage and two-stepping and all that stuff. So when I got back to the States, I was like, all right, let me add some of that London shit that I learned, which is weird because Outcast

and doing bombs over Baghdad, that was their version of that, you know, okay, let's do what we learned in London. But I tried to do it, And the label tried to talk me out of it. Like, real? No, radio's not going to play this. You're messing it up.

So I fought. It's the best part. They taught me out of Jill Scott, but I kept the drumming bass. I was like, well, get rid of Jill Scott. But I'm keeping my drum. It's crazy how labels, like, back then had more say-so and could really, like, come in there and say some shit that you had to do? Well, at that point, we were unproven.

And it was just like, this was our fourth attempt at trying to make it happen. Even for the proven they did that. Like, they were coming there and tell him, motherfuck on some real shit. It was many times, but I sat down with Jimmy I ving on some good shit, but I liked his perspective, but then sometimes we clash because I was like, nigga, you can't tell me, nigga, you don't know my shit, nigga.

They're like, hold on, this nigga do know, this nigga didn't work with, Nick Bruce Springsteen and John. You don't shit your motherfucker fucking ass? Can you give us an example? Can you give us an example of something you two classed over? Oh, man. Producers.

Really? Yeah. Who did you want to work with that? He didn't want you to work with him? I don't want to say no name, but it was a producer that I really fucking wanted to work with that. He didn't really see it, but he kind of saw it. And then once we started doing it, he understood.

It was for real. Wait, wait, wait, wait. He couldn't see the... You know what, though? I'm going to tell you something. In the beginning... You couldn't see it. Farrell was a hard sell for me.

Really? No, but here's the stupid shit. I loved I can't make a mistake by MC Light. I love that shit because it was loud as shit. But it's almost like there's some unconventional, there's some unconventional about the Neptune sound. I think that's what drew me to it. That took me, it took me two months to really, really get it and get aboard.

And now it's like the weird of their shit is like, take like the clip's second album. The weirder that shit is, the more I'm all for it. You know what I'm saying? But now, they were hard sell. Because, I mean, my first time I can remember hearing them was on the Mace album, like the looking at me joint. You didn't like that?

Okay, I didn't know who they were. You feel me? I was like, what the fuck is this? But then, like, I think I got it around like super thug. Like super thug and like, I mean, the stuff with Norris, like all that shit got. But I could see the Neptune. So your first dorm was church to the palace, right? Calis.

No, I think. The chronic's blowing. It blows my mind. Yeah, yeah. Blowing chronic to me is like a tradition to me. I got the pit down, so sit down and listen to me. Don't go against me, fool, go with me. And we can blow it all together like Bobby Brown and wit.

Yeah, we got something to come. And Nick is such a nigga, but they never find him a bomb. And I got the stash spot. My cash got a lot of motherfucking punk police shot. I'm not the one. Nigel, you can call me the two. Bob Marley reincarnated. Pupils die late.

Emaxipated. That's a lot. This is almost like the Albi Short episode again. You get hypnotized in someone's voice. And then a nigga just stopped. Like, thanks, Steve. I appreciate that. Thank you for fucking over me fast.

Was it true that deep cover, y'all didn't even have the record done before y'all signed the deal to do the dog? I like when Shug Night tell this story. He'd tell it better than me. What it was was, Dr. Dre was going to the gym, right? and we was in Calabasas at his house living at the time. He gave me a beat, and he was like, this to beat, I want my shit to start off like this.

Tonight's tonight I get in some shit. Deep cover on the incognito tip. And then he left. So he gave you those four lines. Then the nigger left. I'm not making it up. So then sure called about an hour and a half letter. Doggy dog, I'm going to call you back on the phone

with the people from Sony you got the song done I said no the nigger just told just gave me the beat and laugh what the song about I don't know what it's about but the movie is about the undercover police officer

so I'm gonna call you back I want you to like freestyle a little bit and then I want you to get to a certain point and I'm gonna say all right cut it off and you're gonna hit the button and cut the music off

like everything cut off and I'm gonna call you back I'm like all right come on big dog let's get it And I ain't making this shit up. The nigga called me back about an hour later. And I had a little bit of it, I had like, maybe like four bars of it.

So he called back. He's like, doggie dog. I got the people on from Sony. They want to hear the song. And I put the beat on, niggins, just start busting their freestyle and going and they're going and they're going. All right, cut it off. I'm going to call you back.

And he called me back and said, nigger, write the song. Nigger, it's called Deep Covers about an undercover police officer. going undercover and selling drugs. I'm like, nigga, my dope case was about me selling dope to a undercover cop in my real life. Whoa. What? Yeah.

So I took my real life and put it in deep cover. And it just so happened. It all came together for the hoop. That's some crazy shit. And then when we do this song, right, and this is the fucked up part. When we finish it, everybody in the room

like this is a hit. Only one motherfucker don't like it. Dr. Dr. Dr. What? He's the only nigga that don't like. Is he like an insatiable perfectionist? Where like, do it again. Do it.

Yes. That nigga did not like it. And when the trick was, they tricked me too. They tricked him too. They were like, we're going to do a photo shoot. He'll go $500, Snokego. Go get you something to wear. So I go to the swap me.

Give me some khakis, Chicago, white socks jacket with the Long Beach hat. You know what I'm saying? I'm like, T-shirt and Chuck. I'm like, I'm cool. We get to the photo shoot. Nick, it's a video. So I ain't never been on no video before So I don't know what the fuck is going on

So now the director like He's talking to me and Dre like All right, I need you to act on this scene right here And Dre like, shit I don't do all that, let that nigga do it I'm like They're like, yeah, well the, you know And what the beauty of it is

It was the part I did at the beginning of the song With the- I think you five up the price Yeah, hit this in front of you, whoop-de-whoop, that shit. So he was like, do that, but I'm going to have somebody acting with you. You don't have to do both parts. You just do your part and whoop-de-wop. So he had the actor come in.

Dre just sitting down the whole scene just looking. I'm like, nigga, you're the star, nigga. You got me doing all these lines and this dialogue. I thought this was a photo shoot. We're here doing the motherfucketeer-de-lawful video. How long did it take for you for Dre to know that, you he had his greatest discovery. That would probably have to be a question he would have to answer.

I mean, from the time you met him to the time where he's like, come to the studio, how much time was in between them? At least four years, but I never rap for him. Wait, what? I never rap for him. Let me tell you how he used to go there. Warren G. and Drake, mother and father were married. Okay.

So there would be functions at their house, and Dre would show up. And Warren G had like some turn tables in the back, and he would try to always get Dre to come in the back, like, Snoopy can rap. And you know back there, niggas be like, they don't want to hear a nigga rap, so he would never be like, let me hear something. The ZNWA era Dre? This is when the nigga was making. He shot, pamp, pow, I shot.

Oh, shit, okay. Because he played that for us. He was like, I want y'all to hear this. shit I'm working on. He just played that one particular part of the song where he said he shot, pop, pow, pow. And nigg was like, damn, that shit hard. And then Warren G was like, Snoopy can rap.

And I'm like, what the fuck did he say that for? And then luckily the nigger didn't say, let me hear something. He was like, oh, okay, all right. And he walked in the bedroom. I was like, yes. Like, nigga, don't ever tell that, nigga, I can rap. Nick, I'm weak. I don't want that nigga to hear me. So how did he finally get to you,

being on deep cover? Who made that connection? Warren G. We had a tape, 2-1-3 mixtape. And it had a song on there called Super Duper and a song called Gangster's Life. And the Gangster Life song was like a story about me being born. You know, the first day I get born,

I go to a liquor store, get arrested. It's like a cold-ass gangster story. Then at the end, my brother ends up becoming a gangster and end up getting killed. So it was like it was a gang-bang-ass story. but it had like some positivity. You could see the writing was the next level. So Dre, I guess he liked that style.

But how he heard it, they was at a bachelor party. And the music cut off. And Warren G used to always go to their parties. And the music cut off, so Warren G. Slide in my tape when the music go off. Okay. Now the party back rocking. And niggas is like, who was that?

And Warren G. Oh, that's my home boy Snoopy and whoopty, whoa, whoa, whoa. So Drake, like, oh, that shit's so hard, Nick, let me... And then that's how he heard it from watching the reaction of the people. Okay. And having the air at the same time. Probably hearing my voice hearing the delivery the way... Like I say, the song was structured.

It was one of my best structured songs. Is that tape available? Yeah, it is. It is? Yeah, it is. Okay. I can get you that gangster life. I can get you the original version.

And it was a version that we did with Nate Dogg on it after we was on that. piss and everything. Okay, great. Awesome. Awesome. So from the time that y'all got into, after you do deep cover, how did the transition go from deep cover to death row? When we did

deep cover, we didn't have no money, we was just... That was also on Solar, right? Yeah, Dick Griffin. We made it that Solar Records, exactly. Did you have any interactions with Dick Griffey? Yes, sir. Yes, sir. Dick Griffey used to give us money for chicken wings and got us our first apartment. When we was

living next door to Calvin from 227. Wow. You understand me? Quit acting like y'all and watch that show. Yeah, exactly. Was he watching the show? Was he Calvin now?

It was Calvin. No, I'm saying, was it Calvin at the time? Was he Calvin? He was still. No, that was after Calvin, right? No, that's after Calvin. But he was always going to be Calvin. When your family around and you're never alone,

So y'all was next door to Calvin. Now, watch this. Dick Griffey got his apartment. Well, they say Defoe got it, but Dick Griffey got it because they had no motherfucking money at the time. So Dick Griffey got his apartment, right? So the apartment was in Rage name

because she's the only one that had credit. Hey, Rage. Wait, all of y'all living in a house? So me, Rage and Warren G was living in a one-barroom apartment, And Rage had a dog named Buster. And we all stayed in that one barrow apartment on 3rd in Detroit Street. And we used to walk from 3rd in Detroit all the way to 1,600 quang. That's a long.

That's a long-ass walk. Yes, every day to the studio. And then we go to Popeye's Chicken, if we had like $5 or $10 to get a few wings and try to figure it out. And instead of me, we're going to split that last wing. I'm going to take this part. You take the gristle. So, this is the Jimmy Jam's story all over again.

Yeah, it is. That's how they shit was? They came out to L.A. with, what, 300 bucks and a Casio machine. Because when they made the hard times beat for Captain Rapp. From Captain Ratt. They made that beat? Yes. Wait a minute.

Yes. They came. How do fuck they make that beat? They got fired from the time. And then Terry Lewis was like, yo, is either do or die. Let's go back to L.A. On his casso machine. They came out there with...

They came out there with... $300 each and some suits. And they lived off of chicken wings and milkshakes. And sold that beat. And that's, you know... It's history, right? 30 million albums later. But see how they moved on and he didn't?

And they were just a production. And he was the face, the voice, the whole nine. But they moved on, they probably had more dry. Well, they had something to prove, you know. They had more drive. You shouldn't have fired us, nigga. Look, you're going to fire me. I got a rap song that's hot right now.

Right. Wait till I get a hold of Janet, nigga, and funny how time flies on it. Oh, that story, Prince, what, through... Through control out the car window into Jimmy Jam's lawn. Through it at Jimmy Jam's mom's script. Why? Control album. Because after it was done?

Yeah. Yeah, after it was out. Why? Because he's petty like that. Like when you leave him, even if you fire him, if you leave me. No disrespect, but you know you couldn't fuck with that album, nigga. She was all grown up, nigga. When I was 17, I did what people told me.

Did what my father said. He let my mother call me. What a moosey I see. And that was longer. Does whatever. Control. Yeah. This is going to be a hard to clear episode.

We got time. It's August. We got time. No, it is Christmas. Should I ask one Christmas? No, it's Christmas in August. Anyway. All right.

So in the beginning, I mean, at the time, did you even envision that this would happen? like what was around the corner was it just like, all right, we're going to work on this one song and then, you know. You know, you don't really know. I don't know. You don't know how big it could be.

When did you realize that something's about to happen? When I was on the box. Remember the box? Nigger, the box was the shit. When you... Oh, the call joint, right? The girls come over each. One day that motherfucker came on like 50 times

back to back to back to the G thing. Yeah. Hey, uh, where y'all going today? Hey, can I go with y'all? You know, when dad's run down the step, they show on the same shit just over and over again, over and over again.

It's just getting requested. And then they show you what's the next video coming on. Yeah. I'm like, damn, I'm popping. And I was staying with my cousin on the couch. And I woke up on her couch and she was like,

nigga, you're a star. I'm like, I'm a star. She's like, yeah, nigga, your video came on like all day and night. And I was on the couch. Like, damn, this our star is. You ain't got no money. I'm on your couch.

You want to know something? You know you sample my parents, right? What? You didn't? My mom and my dad. My mom and my dad. Just chill to the next episode. What?

What? It's my mom and my dad. And then the, yeah. I'm talking back on that ass with the hell of five gays to lean. I came off with moms and back like that. Yo. This is a funny shit. So when this shit would come on the box in Philly,

and I heard that, that was like, yo, me and Tariq lost it, like... Because y'all knew. Yo, that's your mom and dad! Yeah, it was like, we won the lottery ticket. That record was a fucking big record, man. I don't know. A big, big record, man, for real, man.

How did y'all never had this conversation? I don't... It's the first time. Y'all didn't know each other for... Yeah, but I mean I don't want to introduce like, yeah, you said my parents. I forgot.

15 years later. You said G thing. I was like G thing. Oh, shit. I forgot my mom and my dad. That ain't what I wrote G thing off of. No, I know the bitches ain't shit. No, I wrote it off.

Do do, do, do. Really the, Southside. It's called Southside. It's, that was the This will beat for G-thing? That's the beat he gave me,

and I took it on 10th in line over my cousin's house. And I wrote the whole G-thing song for that. Came back to the studio and bust that shit off of that for him. Ah, yeah, okay. Bringin to the phone. Snoop doggie-dog and Dr. Drake is at the dope. Ready to make an interest. So back on up.

Because you know we're about to rip shit up. Give me the microphone first, so I can bust like a bubble. Compton and Lone Beach together. Now, you know, you know. You're in trouble with saying nothing but a cheek bang. Baby. Too low-doubt-out, think it's so a-draising. And death row is the label that pays me.

We done fateful, so please don't try to fade. Hell yeah. That nigg was winning. Hell yeah. Man, can you describe, so, like, breakdown, what was kind of the division of labor in the studio between, like, Daz, Dre, Nate, uh, up, you know what was kind of each person's job? Was one person better at hooks or so than the other?

Or like, how did y'all work? And DOC, because D.O.C, he was for the chronic as well. Well, D.O.C was like the guy that he was like the sensei. You had to, the rap had to pass his. I fucked with it before Drey would fuck with it. Like those the ears that Drey trusted most was his. You know, with everything. Remember he just came off of the easy album, NWA,

he wrote all of that shit. He wrote a lot of that NWA niggas for life shit. Listen to them styles and all that, always into something and all that. So he was Dre's most trusted ear, and he was a vet. So we was trying to impress D.O.C. And then once we impressed D.O.C., then he would work with us accordingly.

Okay. And then I attracted to him more because I moved in with D.C. It was like he became, like, my real sense, and everybody else was, like, not under us, but they were, like, playing. and they rose accordingly. Corrupt was like the assassin.

Rays was like the hard female. Jewel's had the singing vocals. Nate Darwell would come in with the hook. But that's what Dr. Dre was like Phil Jackson, a great coach that can take everybody on a team and make them valuable. Like, everybody was valuable. Wasn't nobody more valuable than nobody? He made everybody valuable.

When that song came on with Nate's voice, you loved it. When he came on with Dad's voice, you loved it. When it came on with Corrupt, you loved it. came on with me, you loved it because he knew how to put everybody in positions to make them strong. And to me, that was the strength of the team that Dr. Dr. Dre was the visionary. Like, it wasn't us. We just was raw. You know what I'm saying?

Just a bunch of raw motherfuckers that was bringing it to the table. But he had to clean the table up and set the table, prepare the meal. You know, and he knew what people like, so he had the ingredients to put it all together. He knew what the rock was. That was a diamond. We didn't know. We just was rock strong. You know, click the meal.

Like. Yeah. Was the 16 songs that make up the chronic, I mean, were those the only, the specific 16 that you worked on or was it, was the chronic like a combination of 40 or 50 songs worked on and then we'll pick the best of the lot and this is the album? I say it was probably 25 songs at the most. It was one song that we really liked that didn't make it was called Ho Hopper. I really wanted it on there.

It went like You know I like pussy So you can call me a hound So here's the name I go by when I'm rolling around The hole hopper Tell your friends bitch All your friends bitch I give it to you smooth

Ho can't you see Then when you need some dick bitch Call on me the whole hopper Tell your friends bitch The whole hopper All your friends bitch Wow Wait a minute

Dr. Drake was on one on that one You didn't make the cut Why did that not make the car? I don't know. Was he the Lord stuck her around this period? Dr. Tray was on some real shit. Like, he would let us make any fucking kind of song we want him. Who would write the hooks?

Because the thing that I didn't appreciate until much later was just how effortless you guys were with hooks and B parts. Like even parts that weren't the hooks. Yeah. You could take any four bars. out of G thing and that'll be a hook for another zone. Right. So I've never, until we started, until like

writers block catches and you'd realize like how effortless that shit sounds. So it's like how I don't know, how I think the thing was when it came to like that kind of shit we just went. We just threw it in the air.

And then like I said, that's when it was people like Dre who knew how to take it because bitches ain't shit but holes in tree. That was corrupts first. That was the start of his verse. His verse started like that. Biches ain't shit but holes and tricks. L-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da.

And Dr. Dr. Dre said, nah, nigger, that's the hook. And he made, bitches ain't shit but holes and tricks. Broom-boom-boom-pum-pum-pum-pbh. Bitschins-ch. Right. So it was like corrupt, wrote the hook, but didn't know it was a hook. You get what I'm saying? Like, that's what the, our shit was so good

to where we would always write the hook within the song, but it was somebody's job to find that. Like, we didn't know that all the time. Like, we didn't know that, damn, this was the hook. But Nate Daw, and Jew Wells was probably the only ones that knew what the hook was, because they was

definitely writing for the hook. But everybody else was just writing. So you just come with a pile of verses, and then they would come and just take it apart. Certain times it would fit. Like, certain songs, a motherfucker just, it just fit in place. Was it a certain time, we talked last night.

We've had a couple of people on the show that I always talk about the night of the Source Awards. And one thing I was always curious is to hear from you. Like, what was going through your mind like when you got on stage? I remember watching it because at the time I was like, this is what, 95? 95. I was 15 to 16. And like, I watched it. And so then the next day everybody, you know, we in high school round of lunch tape and shit.

And so everybody was like, well, man, Snoop, I can't believe. leave like he was so mad like that's the fuck what snoop said and me I always looked at it this I said I don't know if it's necessarily anger I think it might be anger give him I said but man yeah give him his respect I said come on man I said each and every one of us got doggy style and I walkman right now like everybody's bumping this shit like we love this nigga how imagine how fucked up it feel to be a dude that is respecting the art of hip hop making incredible fucking records and you come to the place that you got so much reverence for and they piss on you. I said, man, that's like, for

real, you know what I mean? So, I was always curious to hear, like, what was going through your mind when, you know, you know, y'all ain't got no love for Snoop Dog? Well, I was in the moment. The moment was more about what Shugge said. It wasn't about nothing else but that. Because New York

respected us, and they respected me. And they gave me that because I gave them that. I came in the game saying that this is the me and I respected and appreciate everybody before me. When I met him, I bowed down. I treated them with love and respect. So the feeling was mutual when I spoke. Because I didn't speak from a point of view of I want to fuck y'all up.

I spoke from the perspective of we know what we at. Nobody should get fucked up based off of the fact that we all gangsters in here. So what we got to prove is we know where we're at. We know where we're from. This ain't the time and place for that. It was some dialogue that was needed. It wasn't planned. It wasn't.

It just was needed. and my calling, you know what I'm saying? Like, to me, that was my calling. Like, this is your moment, dog, to step into that role of being a leader and being a role model and being a peace advocate for hip hop that you're going to end up being

10 years from that day. Because 20 years after that day, me and Dr. Dre was on stage at that same building doing a show. And Puffy was there, too. And we all performed together. And then we was just thinking back of how it was based off of comments and small shit,

but we always loved each other, but we never could show it because the bullshit. Yeah, we had Steve Stout on like not too long ago, and he kind of echoed what you said. He was like, man, when Snoop got up there, he said you actually kind of calm things down a little bit. Like, if you didn't calm things down, then it would have been a whole.

Yeah, it would have been even worse. I ran out. If I didn't say nothing, some niggas, some niggas would have died that night. Now I said it perfectly on the, defiant ones. He said something to the fact that, you know, when Snoop got up there,

he said the right shit because at that point, when they first got there, it was New York versus New York. It was Borough v. Burrow versus Burrow. But when Shug said what he said, he made it New York versus them niggas. Then when Snoop got up there and said,

what he said, a lot of New York niggas had love for Snoop and just couldn't see themselves just taking off on him for something that this nigga said. So it was like it was that deep and that detrimental because these were real street niggas. He wasn't like record label executives or managers or agents or my, the production guys. This was a niggas that nigger just got out.

He just got out 15 minutes ago. He'd been in 20 years. He ain't got no money. He's looking to do something so he can get on the payroll. Like everybody had 40 of them niggas with them. Like, imagine that time in the early 90s how hip hop was, but you had to have a hundred niggas of your entourage. That just was part of how you was.

Like, whether you wanted it or not, like, even the roots had a hundred nickers with them. We couldn't afford that. But when you have a large entourage, like, hotel bills, like, how were y'all, y'all were torn during that period? How were y'all handling just the basic shit? Flights. My first 15 years of touring.

I can say this, and I ain't a shame to say I probably made like 15% of my tour money. Because of everything you had to cover as far as flights and hotels. 15% of my tour money is what I made my first 15 years. Because I would have 30 niggas on the road, everybody was getting paid and this and that, and then I wouldn't look back until the end of it.

And they'd be like, well, you grossed. this amount and you net it this amount and well god damn everybody on tour and enjoying life except me it's a business man a win is a win a win a win I don't care what I'm saying yep that's me

This began a years-long court battle to prove the truth. You doctored this particular test twice in so much, correct?

I doctored the test once. It took an army of internet detectives to crack the case. I wanted people to be able to see what their tax dollars were being used for. Sunlight's the greatest disinfected. They would uncover a disturbing pattern.

Okay. I got to jump to that. Do you feel that the dog father has gotten his proper just due respect? Because for some reason, I don't think the world realizes how incredible that shit was when it came out.

And the fact that it's still timeless late, like, you know, was it 20? 20 years later. Yeah, about 22. Yeah. It was 96. Yeah, like, what are your personal opinions on your follow-up? When I first came out with it, I was getting a lot of hate and a lot of like, oh, it ain't doggy style, dream, do this, and why it ain't, this and that. And it used to fuck with me a little bit.

And then I used to go out and do shows, and then fans would bring me the album to sign. Like, you know what I'm saying? Like, that's a cold twist when they, like, niggas talking about. about you, but then a fan bring three copies of doggy style and two copies of dogfather and say, can you sign these? Can you sign these? And I'm looking like, damn, if I'm signing dog father, that I mean they bought it. And then I started doing songs from the dog father on stage, snoops upside your head. Big fucking record, Charlie Wilson started rolling with me. Me and Charlie became like this. So it was blessings that came out of that, that they was making

happen and didn't even know that they was making happen. Then we went overseas to Europe and toured in Europe and the record was so big over there to where it's like it solidified me as an artist that was going to be here on the follow-up tip. So it's just in America where it was a lot of not covering it the right way or saying the right things. I remember Biggie had got killed, Tupac had got killed. Biggie's album that came out, Tupac's album came out. So they just drowned me out on some, oh, this niggin gang banging no more. He just beat a murder case. He's a family man. He's soft now. He'd be happy now.

Look at him, he rapping about happy shit, Doggyland. I had a song called Doggyland that was a song about peace, love, and nobody dying, and just a beautiful record that was about Doggyland. Niggas didn't understand that, like, nigger, that's soft. I'm like, what living life is soft? Like, I don't need to be with you, niggas. If y'all, deaf is cool, nigg. I'm gonna die, nigger, that shit hard, nigga.

How you gonna die? I'm gonna be gonna blaze a bullet, nigger. The hard way, nigger, like a western movie. Fuck that, nigg. I don't want to die, nigger. niggas sipping on some coffee niggins and bed 90-7 80 years old you know what was it like the I was always curious to know the transition from death row to no limit and like being with being under somebody like shug versus somebody like p what was p like as a businessman um should was a

great business man first and foremost let me say that very strong very uh shrewd got to it like you do it um did a lot of things that was you know groundbreaking for the industry did I see a lot of the niggas doing now. But when I got with Master P, he was more of a, he was a finesseur. Like, I'm going to shake hands with him, pump shoulders with him, do business with him, be executive. I want to own shit. I want to be a part of the executive branch and not just the, you know, employee side of it. And then he passed it on. You know, he was one of those informative guys that, hey, put this in your name. Hey, get you a bank account. Hey, get you some credit card. as hey, get you some property, hey, get you some this.

Like, get you a record label. Get you a clothing line. Like, all the shit I did was by being with him. He showed me how to do it. Expand your brand. Right. Okay. That's so dope.

And don't be afraid. They laughed at him in the beginning. They used to laugh at him. I used to watch him laugh, laugh, laugh. Then when I signed with no limit, like, I'm not saying I made the laughs to go away, but all the laughs was gone after that. And niggas was like. I paid attention.

Like, this nigga really is a business man. He really sharp because my first album with them paid the cost to be the boss. Two million records in America, two million records overseas. Then we put out a movie called The Game of Life, and he sold it for 1995, and it sold two million copies. You do the fucking math. And he made all the fucking money. Wasn't no middleman, none of that shit.

That was the thing about Master P and nobody really reemphasizes. It wasn't no money in rap until no limit came. And I say that honestly. No rappers making no money into no limit. Niggas was getting crumbs and a little bit negotiating and fighting with record labels and artists and management masters. He cut all that shit out. He was what Shug should have been, that less violent, more business approach.

And he shared information. Yes, all of the above. You know what I'm saying? Come on, man. From the time that you went from, because after you did the three records on no limit, and then... Three album deal, $5 million. dollars.

I can say that now, respectfully, because you know, like an athlete, I wanted to put that contract out there. So in case you niggas won a new three-album deal, it's going to be way more than that now. Yeah, last meal, that was my, I mean, I like no limit top dog too. Did the records get better for you as I got them? No, they got absolutely better. Because the first one? I didn't.

I was like, uh-uh. Right. But no limit talk dog in last meal, them shit's spammy. You see it, but you know what my mind state was there. I started grabbing my mind state. The first record, you know what I did? I said, P. Do with me whatever you want to do, nigga.

I'm Dr. Frankenstein, and I'm going to lay on the table and let you go ahead and put me together the way you think because you're all hot right now, and this is your label, and you got Snoop Dogg as your artist, nigga. Go to work. You just paid for this, nigga. This is going to be your record forever. You got a Snoop Dog record.

My third solo record is yours. So he did it. Second record, I was like, all right. I got the joystick back. I'm going back to the West. Man, okay, speaking of joystick, the two and three album. Yes. Why is that not out, like, on streaming or whatever?

Man, we didn't get no love for the two and three album, man. We've been Warren G pushed that shit so hard. I don't know what. I love that record. I love, man. I don't know. The only girl, motherfucking. It was a cool.

Yeah, find a way. Yeah. Find a way. Yeah. Man, I don't know. I don't know what goes on, but then I'm watching music nowadays like, that's a hit. What? He said the same thing, 25-year.

time. Oh, my God. Did they, when you end up doing, I'm jumping to you, well, first I want to go to your Snoop Line record. What moved you in that direction? Like, what was going on in your life at that time that made you want to go there? Man, I just love reggae music.

And I was like, you know, every time I go to Jamaica, I always just go to my room, smoke weed, do the show, and leave. I never get to explore Jamaica. I never get to see it. Like, fuck that. I want to see Jamaica because these niggas love me over here

and I love them. So I said, I'm going to set up a trip where I'm going to go over there for 30 days and just live over there and get with some producers. Called up Diplo, Major Laser. Look, y'all going to do my whole record. Called a Vice.

Vice was a magazine company at the time that was creating content. And I was like, look, I want y'all to come shoot this shit for me because I like how y'all be doing on location shit in dangerous neighborhoods and dangerous areas. And this shit is dangerous

because Chris Koch had just went to jail, which was Dutas. So I said, I want to go meet that nigger family. I went to, they took me everywhere. And so by me going all into these areas, which this is the real nigga that I am, I love to explore. I go to the Nibingi Temple. And when I go there, the spirit is in me. I can't even fake it. When I walk in the temple, that's a lady bomb, 90 years old.

As soon as I walk in, she's like, the prodigal son has returned. I don't even know what she's saying. What? Like the prodigal son has returned. The prodigal son has returned. I don't even know what this mean at the time. She grabbed me on my hands and she started praying with me. And they, like, the whole room just collapsed on me.

Like, it was crazy for me. It's crazy. The whole spirit, then we walked around the fire. Fire was burning. Me and my wife were holding hands. Long story short, when we leave, my wife didn't eat no meat from that day on. That was 2010. Warned.

From that day on. and I took on a new peaceful approach I ain't been in tour with no niggas I ain't got it you know what I'm saying like

And that she used to always It was an epiphany Come on man I'm waking it Is that kind of what led to your gospel record First let me just say

The gossip record Is jamming Yeah That shit jamming like a motherfucker I don't know if I should say that About a gospel album I don't know if that match That niggas

I didn't just say You should jamming like a mother That's a nigga That guy's hard But the thing I like It's like you got like real You got the real OGs.

You had Rance Allen on the shit. And, I mean, that's like, how did you put all that together? First of all, shout out to my homeboy, Lonnie, Barrell. He was one of the main instruments to putting this project together. I had a dream and a wish list of making my grandmother proud of me. My grandmother was here. She would always, you know, talk to her friends and people about me. She could never talk about my music.

And I always wanted to make something that she could be proud. of that she could hear and that her friends, her church friends could really, you know, be proud of. So, and she passed away. I was like, you know, that's my mission. I've been always talking about doing it. I'm just going to do it. And I just went in there and did it and started calling all of the people that I wanted to be on it and expressed to them why I wanted them on it, what I was doing. And they already loved my spirit as I, before that. It wasn't like, oh, we're going to do it now. We've been following you, brother. We've been with you. You know, we got you, what you need. I need a, you sing something on there, brother Rance.

Clark sisters, I need y'all to do something on there. Kim Burrell, can you do something, a Fred Hammond, John P. K. Yeah, he got all the G's, man. Yeah, it was incredible. And seeing it at the Essence Festival, that knocked me out. That was crazy. I felt like that was the right moment for that. That was the best thing I've ever seen.

That was amazing. Brother, we think we got to wrap up. Okay, damn. Not yet. Let's do 10 more minutes. All right, but did. I'll be just letting you know. You know.

We was getting the rap rap. We was told. Y'all are doing good. When the shit is good, I break rules. Oh, thank you. Thank you. Lord Jesus. I really appreciate that.

Thank you. All right. Sensual seduction. Yes. I want to say you have one of the only, like, rap records or records in hip-hop that I like the clean version better than I like the dirty version. I'm dead at. Central Seed.

Brooklyn Zoo is the other one. Brooklyn. Oh, yeah. Brooklyn Zoo is dope, too. We ain't Brooklyn Zoo. But yeah, so talk about that record, because the cat that did that, Charter Red. Shardy Red. He was so talented, man, and he did, like, a lot of shit for Gizi.

Yeah, he was on some gangster shit. He was like, one of them gangster producers, right? So he was one of my little nephews, and he was like, oh, I got a song, but it ain't gangster. And I think it's for you. And he played it for me, and he was doing everything that I was doing, but he wasn't, like, he didn't put that thing on it he just like just laid it and I was like I'm gonna put that T-pane

on it but I ain't gonna put all of that T-pane I'm gonna put a little trip of T-pane with my real voice then I'm gonna put like a vocal and twisting this way so that when you hear him he ain't too robotic

like them because I didn't want to sound like everybody that sounds like on autotone I wanted some of my voice to overwhelm the auto tune because I feel like I got a nice voice that could blend with that

yeah and that was the And then watch this. When I do it, I take it to the label. And there's a motherfucking white boy up there. And he like, let me mix it. I'm like, hell no. He's like, let me mix this motherfucker.

I know what it need. Give it here. But we kind of clash for a minute and I end up letting him mix it. Right. When he mix it, I call him like, man, you a bad motherfucker. A motherfucker named Ron Fair. Oh, Ron, wait, oh my God That was the last name I was exactly

Yeah, see this is right. Look, but Quince, you got to, you're dealing with Snoop Dog, you're dealing with Snoop Dog, you're dealing with Ignat-ass Snoop Dogg. You ain't dealing with the nigga right now to, hey, okay, you're sure, whatever. You deal with the nigga, who the fuck is you, nigga? How are you going to tell me how to motherfucking mix my song?

The way, the way you built it up is just that we've had a few episodes where Ron's names come up and it wasn't too savory. So he was like, the nigga named Rob Fair. I was like, oh, God. Yes. He's haunting us. Yes.

And that nigga mixed the shit out of it, the dog shit out of it. Because I could play the mix before he mixed it, he made it a fucking big record. Like the shit that he did was just making my voice and the music and the way it. Right. Because it fooled everybody. When we heard it, my jaw dropped like, oh, shit. That shit go hard. It was an instant classic.

Yeah. See, that was on a record that I think for real. Was that a record for real producer or was that ego tripping? That was ego tripping. Okay, that was me, Teddy Riley, and Quake. Yeah. On that record. Was Knott's on that record?

You weren't like, Knott's his, my homie. Yep. Knott's the shit. How did y'all hook up, man? Because he's Virginia. That's something about me in Virginia. I got a real bond with Virginia, man. I fuck with the Virginia crowd.

I don't know why or how, but it's just like we just magical when we together. It's been like that from Timberlin to Farrell, the Knott's. Even the nigga Drum. Teddy Riley? Teddy Riley. Ali, like, I just fucks what it like. And then I never looked for it. It was like, oh, I'm going to go focus some niggas from Virginia.

The shit just fall in place like that. Like, it just happens like that. And every time it happens like that, it's like it's some magical shit. And then I find out, this nigga from Virginia, too. There's something in the water, man. Y'all cold, man. Yeah, you also had like the only, for a long time, you had the only DeAngelo feature.

White people. Yeah, to white people. What was, like... How'd you get Martha Stewart's trust? Yeah. We saw the relationship start, but... Yeah, like, but it was before... I think of said that you'd get her trust.

It was before all of that, though. It was before Martha Stewart. It's been for a while now. You've been on the side of things. Well, he's a charismatic, dude. You're like... Yeah. Charisma goes a long-ass way.

It's most charismatic people aren't talented. Mm-hmm. But it must have been... It must have been a point, though, where you were like, shit. Look at this. me, they're paying attention, and they're going to let me sell this to everybody. You know, whatever it was.

It's like you don't never realize until it actually happens, like, because you don't, nobody really watches their highlights why they're playing the game, you know. Like true superstars, they don't really, you know, look at that. They're too busy trying to get more highlights. And then at the end of the day, then I'll be able to look back and say, wow, I didn't realize I was doing X, Y, and Z right now. I'm just doing me. And all the opportunities that happen to fall in my direction.

I try to make the most of them and try to put things together that are going to be here for the future. I had like stages of my life when I didn't really give a fuck about the future. And I feel like those moments are cemented and they mean a lot because they help raise people and they help cement who I was and how I'm supposed to do it. Then it's stages of my life where it's like I got to mean something. I got to give some information and direction because now I'm on the level of one who has that and I shouldn't be selfish and try to keep it to myself. How long did June Ferrell work on the Bush album?

I love that record, man. And, like, I don't know what. Was it label things, but what happened? Listen to Bruno Mars album. It sounds just like. Oh. No, I sound like a disgruntled nigga. Now, I'm just funny.

Now, Bruno, shout out to Bruno for writing a Young Wild and Free. And not wanting no credit. Oh, he wrote that one? Yeah. Oh, wow. Wow. Mm-hmm. He was going through some things judicially, so we worked it out to it.

It's like, oh, what's your name? Bruno? Okay. Nice to meet you. Now look at him now. That nigga, Elvis, who are you? Nigger, who is you? Right, exactly. On the California Role Joint was Stevie, did he play it? Which all? Now, watch this.

Watch this moment. I got to tell you the moment first. So we're up there with the music, right? First of all, he made the song for Schoolboy Q. And School Boy Q in the morning, it was for like a remix or something. He didn't morning. I heard that. I was like, I need that.

That shit hard. Give me that. I'm going to sing, and I'm going to have my nigga James Fonroy write my verses. So that way I got some melody about it. Right. So then I'm listening to Farrell sing. I'm like, so now we're in the studio. I'm smoking.

I'm like, hey, we need to get Steve. He wanted on this mom. Like, you got his number? Like, yeah, I got the nigger number. Nick, hold on. Stevie, what's adding? Hey, hey, I need you at the studio. Nigel, what you're doing?

Man, I got a hit record with me and for real. I'll be right there. So, Stevie comes to the studio. Now, mind you, me and Farrell in the studio, we're smoking. He ain't smoking, but we smoking. He's right next to it. You smoking him out? The fuck out.

So now Stevie get there, right? So Stevie listening to the record in the room with us. Then he go in the booth. So he in there, been to sing. He got his hair fulls on. He's singing. I'm like, for real, tell him what to do. And for real, like, hmm?

I said, Cush. Stevie been in there for five minutes, Cud. You ain't told Cud, nothing. He's just sitting in the booth for like five minutes. I'm like, first of all, somebody need to go in there for that nigger fall. So you know what I'm saying? Then I'm like, Cud, tell the niggum. what to do, because he don't say nothing.

So he pushed the little thing. I said, Stevie, Farrell said, sing on this part and sing on that part. So he started singing, and he's doing this thing. And I'm like, Farrell, tell the nigga, because this ain't my expertise. I don't do all that with niggas that sing. I just sit back and watch, nigga.

You're supposed to tell him to do the runs. This nigga, for real, just sitting there stuck. So I'm in their coaching Stevie. I'm like, I know I'm going to fuck this song. All right, Stephen, when you get to this part, and he should go, um, All that shit. And then, Steve, did you bring your harmonica?

Wow. Did you bring it? Pull it out. All right, Stevie, just play anything you want. When Ferrell gets sober, we're going to take the best parts and we're going to put the mark. And that's how that motherfucking song came about. I ain't making this shit up.

Thank you, man. I love that song, though, man. I love that, right? Yeah, I love it, too. Thank you. Damn, can I ask one weed question? Oh, yeah. Okay, yeah, because I got a few.

So, listen. First of all, I'm like, I'm like, that's like a black woman, Can I ask one week question yet? Because I got a few. Well, I wanted to go back to my roll call because I was serious about this question because it's been like some documentaries and some studies and whatnot. And I wanted to know your opinion on what people are saying about the Indica versus the Stitiva and saying that it's all bullshit.

Like, where are you with that? Well, I think that Sativa is for certain people and Indica is for certain people. It's whatever you'll make is. It's like some people like gin. Some people like whiskey. Okay, break it down to like a kindergartner. To a kindergarten. Indica versus Sativa.

Indica is for the. aggressive for the ones like myself, the ones we've been doing it for a long time, who need like a high tolerance who are looking for the highest level of getting there. Sativa is more of a female relaxation. You know, he toned me down. I never heard it describe with gender. It's real. I don't see a lot of niggas that be like,

you want to hit the setiva? Damn, that's my... Get your soft ass out here, man. You got a flower with that too, nigga? But the word is that is not real, the concept is not real. That's what I was saying. The word is that the concept is not real and it's awesome bullshit of Indica and Sadie Tateva. That is very real.

Okay. Because they're two different strains. How would I explain that, Frank? What are they two different? What are they two different? Hold on, hold on, I say. One will make you want to go to sleep. The other one will keep you up eating all night.

Yeah, it's like one of them is like a relaxed. Like Sativa is more like connected with medical. You know, because it's the, yeah, exactly. the Indica's like the party shit where all the rappers and the, you know what I'm saying? The high energy and you got shit to do when you're trying to get it done and you know what I'm saying?

I've heard describe, and I don't know if it's in different strains within them, but like one is like a body high and one is a head high. So which one would you recommend like for pain like joints, off righters, that kind of shit? Which one works better for pain? You'd have to be prescribed.

I would go to a real, for real shit. You can go to a real dispensary and go see a real doctor and I tell you exactly what. Rub some tussing on it. Are you looking to get into the dispensary game? That's what I was going to. No, no, not that game.

You? That's what I was going to say. How invested are you in that game? I got Snoop Premium Nutrients. That's what I was going to. Just think about that side form. Just think about what a nutrient is. A nutrient is what you need to grow the flower.

So everyone who grows flowers is got a nutrients. Oh, good. Man. You hear me? I knew with some genius you was going to drop. That's why I don't want to be a football player. I know this. You're an owner.

You want to own the damn stadium. I want to be the grass that they plan on, man. Even better. I'll eat that every night. Wow. You can't play the game without grass, babe. That's it. Wow, you just gave me food for thought.

Yeah, go that direction. You know what I'm saying? Because everyone's now, like, trying to pony up there. Is it public? Because it's a race horse. Is it public? get to the pinnacle of I got the best product. I'm doing this. I'm

in this industry. But it's like alcohol. This probably happened when alcohol was prohibition when it became whatever legal. It was probably 16, 17 different brands that was competing. And then there was Cigrams. And there was, you know, certain motherfuckers that just pushed out the way like... And there were just four.

Exactly. Like, ain't nothing had any. Y'all can't fuck with this because we're thinking way further than y'all. Our product is better and we do it better. Can you advise for the middleman? Because literally my mother was like she really wants to invest in the marijuana industry. Tell me, tell me mama I'll let me give me a few dollars. I'll give him a nice little double up.

Yo, okay. All right, I got you. All right. I got you. Get her to get her going. All right. I got ass. Bones.

Yeah. What was it like shooting that? When I got the role, Ernest Dickerson, he was like, Pam Greer signed on. And I was like, yeah. You know, I'm cool. He was a motherfucker. Yeah. So he's like, I got y'all a flight together.

gather that y'all gonna fly in so that way y'all can, you know, get acquainted because there's a lot of scenes that y'all got together. I'm like, all right, cool, Pam Greeney. I'm do this shit, nigga. Flying to Frisco, she flying to Frisco. I'm sitting down. She comes behind me and tap me on the shoulder. And I look back and I'm like, damn, because this Pam Griff, cut me. I can't read this shit, right? So I'm like, I look at her, give her a hug, and she, like, chopping it up with me for a minute. I'm like, all right, boom, whoa, whoa, boom. I go to the bath, and I go to the bath, and I'm like, I go to the bathroom, niggins just faint, just fallout, boom, right on the floor. I'm laid on the floor for like five minutes.

My security come in like, nigga, get off this time. Oh, literally. Like, nigger, for real. Oh, I thought you meant metaphorically. Oh, nigga, I got a heap. Niggas, I seen paying the prayer, niggas. It's like when I saw Janet Jackson on this night show. Niggas went limp.

Niggas just, you come grab me off the floor. They throw them water and shit on the niggas. So I regroup. And, niggas, we were our flight. We sit and sit and. side by side, the whole flight, nigga, my heart beating, like, 90-go-West, and she just chopping up with me, just being so real,

she makes me comfortable. Like, this is one of the only motherfuckers ever been, like, star-struck around, because I'm like, I got scenes, whatever. I got to kiss her, and I got to... So I'm getting nervous and shit, like... But then she, like, break me all the way down, and she, like, call your wife from me when we land.

And then she holl at my wife when I land. I'm like, this is a real fucking queen dival right here. You hear me? And it just put me in a zone where I was like, all right, cool. And I went to set, and then Ricky Harris was there, rest of face. He made my job real easy because he had already been on many movies sets. And he was just like, nigger, killed this shit, nigga, like we used to do. Nigger, fuck that, nigga.

You know, give me that confidence. Like, you're the league, you start, nigga. And it was like I needed that. Not in the cocky way, but I needed that in a confident way. Yeah, talk about Ricky, man, because I didn't really know much about him, But I know he was, I mean, we knew him from Del Comedy Jam, and, like, he was, like, on all the skits. And the voice from W. Balls. Yeah, he got to be able to.

Yeah. What was Rick like, man, working with him? Funny, real serious. Like, my whole childhood was put him in church. His father was the preacher of our church, Reverend Richard George has to thud. Ricky was always athletic. He taught me how to play quarterback in 1979 behind Reverend Vine in his house. he was funny in church he could sing he was like

all the things that you see me doing it had to be somebody you seen doing it first he was probably the first person I seen doing to do you know multitasking being funny being real being an athlete being this being that you know what I'm saying so it was like when he made it we made it then he got on Ice Cube album first yeah he was a straight art means for

Right. Shred on B. Ice cube. That was Ricky? Yes, Nick. I'm not going to play any ice cube because that's bullshit. Turn off the radio.

Get that shit out of here. Straight on B. Yeah. I did not know that. So when I hear that, I'm like, nigga, I need you on my shit, nigger for our radio station. W. Balls.

And he just handled it from there. But, like, even from just being kids to us making it, it was a comfort zone working with him. Like, whenever I would have him around, like, he would be in a lot of the writing. Like, when I had my, I show Doggy Fizzle and all that shit. He was one of the writers.

And, like, I would always bring him to the job, like, to be one of them niggas behind the scenes with that pen because he knew me. Like, a lot of them writers in Hollywood didn't know me. They just was writing bullshit. We think this will be funny if you say this. And I need a nigga in the room, but, like, that nigga ain't going to say that.

You know what I'm saying? Like, you need that kind of motherfucking the room. Did you improvise the line? Fuck your fort little nigger and baby boy. Oh, man, you know that shit wasn't written. Yo, that is like, you know, being my boys, we play bad and shit. Whoever got lost.

Oh, fuck your fort. That was our party shot. That was that shit. Fuck your fort, little nitty. So thank you for cornered there. There's so much you've given to the game. I know. Fuck your fort.

Let it be known then. Let it be known. Every root's argument starts with. Let it be known then. You know what? I was talking to Max Julian, right? And Max Julian. This is my nigga right here.

I love him to death. The Mac. So we're talking about the Mac, right? And he's like, yeah, man, you know what? So Richard, man, we get to the set to director. Because the director was a white dude named Michael Campus. He's like, yeah, so the white boy, you know, trying to tell Richard what to do. Richard, like, white boy, you can't tell me a motherfucking thing, you motherfucker.

I write my own motherfucking line. He said, so Richard did all his lines, you know, he wrote his own shit. You know, I couldn't tell him nothing. So when you watch the Mac, know that that nigga, every line he did in there, who was his. Wow. He wasn't having it. What was it like with John Singleton, man?

How did it all go? Man, John is a dear friend. He's been with us for a long time. He was like always supportive of the 213 movement. He was one of the people that really wanted to do a 213 movie back in the days. Like, he was really into what we was doing. Remember, he gave Warren G that shot with, you know, with the first scene. Oh, Indos Smoke.

Yeah, put him on. You know what I'm saying? So working with him is like, It's so easy, but he's so professional. So it's like, you're getting your comfort zone, but at the same time, this motherfucker's professional. You know, when he finished with you, you're going to look amazing.

You know, it's going to be a part of something that's historic. So you really want to follow his direction. A lot of the things that we would do, he would give me direction, and he would say, all right, I want to shoot it my way, and then I'm going to shoot it your way. Like, what would Rodney do? What would Rodney say?

and then like he'd say well do it this way say it like this and then I do it that way and be like all right I got that now what Rodney said shit fuck your fort little nigga any plans for your biopic of you

because everyone's doing their biopics now that's what I wouldn't do I wouldn't do what everyone else there yeah man what happened okay the Tupac biopic I just forgot by the Tupac why did they have you doing your own voice As the in the character of C. You think that's what happened?

It sounds just like you. It was printed somewhere. I've always post that. Oh. Oh. See? That's spooky. Give a time.

You're supposed to drop school we do, nigga. Wait, can I ask a quick, can I ask a quick John Singleton question? I just wanted to know since you mentioned it. John, I wanted to see what you thought about snowfall. Franklin is the shit. Yes. Listen. No spoilers.

Ain't no spoilers. I'm not going to spoil shit, but listen. But can you end the reality of it? Frankly, at the closest nigger to Snoop Dog on screen. Listen. For real? For real? His train of fault. He's a genius.

Just the way he, this motherfucker is so Snoop Dog when I watch him. I wasn't watching it in the beginning. I'm going to be honest with you. I wasn't watching them like, I don't want to see another fucking black kid. Everybody was saying it, but I was like. And drugs in the fucking 80s. I'm tired of this fucking nigger shit. But the stories, though.

But the stories do. And I started watching that shit. a, uh-oh. Wait a minute. Season two, way better than season one. I had to go back in tape season one. Now I'm in season two. And I'm like, this nigga Franklin is so motherfucking cold-blooded with his feel.

His conversation, like, he's so Snoop Dog, Mark. And what do you, it's crazy because he's British. Like, how you feel about the ass? Yes. Right. He's British. He's British. Wait a minute.

That ain't no knicker from me. No. He's British. No. He ain't want to. The British are coming. The Red Coast. No, he's British.

So in the All Eyes on Me, how did that happen? Because it sounds like it was you doing for those voice. I thought you did post. Yeah. You'd have to ask the director and the sound effect guys. Hey, I ain't. He's being real empty things right now.

Okay. But I was saying about my thing. Okay. Y'all was asking about a Snoop Dog biopic. I'm like, I would never do that for the simple fact that it's been done. And I wouldn't want to do what everybody else is doing. But there could be a. series.

Sort of kind of like knockos. You're saying me based on the life before there and after. You know, from father in Vietnam, 68.

Spoiler, your child. Oh, shit. You hear me? That's amazing. Right? That makes more sense for me as opposed to try to squeeze two hours of all of this shit

that I'm doing and done and try to make it, you know, worthy of you understanding it and loving it and appreciating it and not offending anyone because I believe I would leave some things out if I tried to buy. Or you might leave some shit in and then people. Right. You know how it's hard to tell other people's stories. Right.

I see. I think it's better that way. So, Luke, can you give us some marriage tips before we roll out, man? Oh, man. Happy wife, happy life. She's always right. You're always wrong. Name your company.

Yeah, your compound after her. Yeah, name your company. a compound after her. That's boss lady. Make sure that there's constant sufficient funds in her account. True.

Keep the girls to a minimum at work and after work. Can you talk about what you've learned being a father to a daughter? That this world we live in is fast. These girls are hot-tailed and fast. Love showing their rumps and putting their leg out, taking

pictures, and wearing makeup and trying to be grown. like, you know, I remember one of the time when you was a teenager, you wanted to be a teenager for a long time. They don't want to be a kid. Because you enjoy the moment of being a teenager.

And I was like, I can't wait to not be a teenager so I can be grown. And that's from age 9, 10, 11, to go to 19. It ain't going from 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, no more. It was like, and to have a girl, so many influences and so many girls that's doing at her age, younger than her, older than her.

So you just try to, you know, raise them the right way and teach them to, you know, the ends and outs, but they have their own minds, they do their own thing. You just try to make sure that we did our part. Like me and Boss Lady did our part as for us. Like I was saying, it's only so much you can do when your kid leaves the house. It's like you can't over-parent. You just got to do your job and pray that you did a great job

and, you know, the results will be seen in the near future. Who were some of the people that you, like when you and your wife will have problems in your marriage or just, you know, y'all have hard times? Who were some of the people that you could talk to To say like yo I'm in this situation How can you help me? Like who was some of the married couples

Or other couples or other couples Or just oh gee you meant the industry or whatever That you could actually talk to about that kind of stuff With me it was probably Charlie Wilson Was probably the only one that I could actually talk to For the simple fact that he He loved my wife, my kids He loves me and my wife love him

His wife and his family So it's like it's a mutual understanding When he gets involved And he ain't never going to play to my side, if I'm wrong, he gonna shoot me down and tell me, nigga, you're wrong. Was the motherfucker, get your ass home. I'm gonna call and try to smooth shit over,

nigga, hear him get in through the back door, nigga, before I hang up with him. You know, he's one of them kind of niggas, you know what I'm saying? One of them uncles, when you're like, this is a good-ass nigga right here. Was anybody else in the game you had like that? Other than Charlie just cats that you could really, you know, look up to

and that would, like, help you in that way? Or just anyway, like career-wise, anybody that gave you good career advice? I like Ice Cube's advice. Ice Cube has given me a lot of great advice. A lot of shit he told me to pass on. I was hard-headed in the beginning because I was like, nigga, I'm hot,

Nick, I'm doing... They want me to be in 13 movies, nigga. Nigger, they want you to be in... Who's the man, nigga? Sit your motherfucking ass thing. Who's the man part two, nigga?

You better sit your ass down, you know what I'm saying? Like, it's a couple things I did that I'm not, you know, too happy about that I should have took his advice. But as I got older and started making better decisions, I could thank him and say, well, you know,

it ain't about the money. We got a whole bunch of money for you to be in this garbage-ass movie. This shit sucks cock. But we're going to pay you so much fucking money. It's fucking horrible. That's basically what the niggins should say, you know what I mean? That's what it boils down to. I was wondering if you was like your own brain trust in that way because you make some pretty awesome decisions.

That's what it's been for like the past 10 years. And I got a lot of that from like one of the young niggas, 50 cent. Like, there was one point of time where 50 men and him was rolling together And he was doing a lot of shit on his own Like, it was fucking me up that I would always have my people going there and meeting And this nigga would be in the meeting And how this nigga in there and I'm not in there? And then certain shit he was doing, he put me up on certain things

And I was like, you know what, this nigga's smart. He brilliant. And he passed an information on. And, you know, when I got that information, I ran with it. And don't mind sharing the fact that I got it from him. Yeah. What do you do with your kids? now because how old how old are your kids now?

The motherfuckers is in the 20s. Yeah, I was like, you're a granddad now. I am. I just had a granddaughter. I know. Congratulations. Congratulations. Go ahead.

I think I saw her in the bath. Yeah, her name's 11. Say it again? 1911. That's the name. Nick, this 2018 is knocking. You ain't for any of regular names no more. You thought I was going to say, her name is Isabella.

Eleven. That's like what Kevin said. It's 11, but you know, I'm a grandfell. 11. Come here, baby. Come here, baby. Come here, What's the significance behind 11?

I ain't even asked my son. You know, I thought, how do you ask the nigger? So what was y'all the fuck thinking when you know? You know people are bad. Two ones equal. What happened was it was 10, 9, 8, 11. How was it, as a dad, like, you know what I'm saying,

being that you had so much success in your career and, you know, you know, your upbringing or your kids' upbringing was way different than yours, how did you, I guess, how did you navigate that, being that, you know, how you came up versus how your kids came up but not wanting to spoil them and still wanting to be able to, you know, find their own way in life. Thank God for the Snoop You football league, because my football league was urban and it was them playing with kids that came from urban communities, them building relationships, and then going to school with kids like that and learning how to live within but without.

and then me and my wife would bring them to certain situations where they could see. This is where we grew up at. This is where we lived at and walk around and look inside this one bare room. And, like, nigger, y'all got a room that's yours, and we lived in a house that was the size of your room. Like, to appreciate, to understand the fact that it's a struggle and it's a hustle. We won't try to live better, but don't take it for granted because they can all be taken away. And this is what we come from. We know how to adjust to it if we have to go back to them.

Y'all don't. So the best thing you can do is prepare yourself and try to do some things. that were you not connected to my thing, but creating your own thing. It's gonna be... They didn't understand it, but I think as time goes on, they get it and I'm gonna do what the real people do. I'm gonna make sure my family tied into my business,

so I'm gonna make sure they're gonna learn this shit one way or the other. Well, Uncle Snoop, we thank you for your wise, sage advice. We gotta wrap up, even though we got... I know right. 59 billion more questions. Oh, can I thank you for all of the sisters for what you said on the view? because you know we like forwarded that like 50,000 times watched it again again and again and again and

put it on repeat. What did he what he said? What was that? Oh when he was asked about well he was asked about Kanye and he basically said that he needed a good black woman beside him and that's what's wrong with him. You ain't never leaving Kanye alone is you? I was just saying. That was what he said. I reposted the joint so thank you. It was true and it didn't mean like a lover it just means somebody with stability that he needed it's no one around. We understood what you Whether it was a sister, whether it was whatever it was, something she needed to be there. Nita, Auntie Ethel flying in today. Obviously, it's not even a nanny.

He likes rhyming, you want to rap and stuff. And I'm just like, man, would you look at a cat like Snoop that's like killing it now to know where he came from? Yeah, and let your son know I was weak once upon a time. I wasn't great.

I was weak. And I had to get better. I knew I was weak. You know what I'm saying? That's the thing when you're weak and you know you're weak. Are you going to accept it? Or you're going to get better.

You know what I'm saying? Yeah, do something about it, so let him know. You know, he ain't great right now, but he can be great and don't accept that shit. Keep going until he find greatness.
