(00:57):
to the interview. All right, man, Look, Boulet Cab podcast.
This is actually the five hundredth episode and it's only right.
We have quite possibly the greatest of all time Snoop
Dogg five hundred, five hundred.

Speaker 2 (01:15):
Man, that's crazy. I like that number.

Speaker 3 (01:17):
It's a great number.

Speaker 2 (01:18):
Yeah, times five, yo.

Speaker 3 (01:20):
I gotta tell you. I always tell the story about
how your album Dog You Style like changed the trajectory
of my life. M because when I was like six
years old, my grandma You remember, Columbia House used to
send like fifteen out albums for like a penny.

Speaker 2 (01:38):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:39):
Sure, So my grandma somehow got DOGI Style in the
maule on tape.

Speaker 2 (01:43):
Good shot shot off to Grandma.

Speaker 3 (01:45):
I wanted to keep it, but she had no I
don't think she meant to.

Speaker 2 (01:48):
It the fuck. She did the right thing, good shit, Granny.

Speaker 1 (01:51):
See, I'm a grandfather, so sometimes grandparents do shit that
y'all don't understand.

Speaker 3 (01:56):
So it was like, obviously a cartoon cover, so that's
what she went for. So she gave it to me,
and I fucking like, within I don't know three weeks,
knew the whole album, like front to back, every skit
by heart. I mean literally, by the time my mom
heard me listening to it and took it from me,
it was too late. It was over with and your sister,
it was over.

Speaker 2 (02:15):
When your DNA.

Speaker 1 (02:16):
Yes, let it go, Grandma. I got to get Grandma
shout out. Man, that's see, that's g ship right there.
When your grandparents have a forward way of thinking and
knowing that my grandson is going to be somebody, I
got to put this in his DNA to make sure
when he gets to the point where he's at that
it's all way any and not only.

Speaker 3 (02:33):
Yeah, always say that that that album to change my life.

Speaker 2 (02:36):
Man, thank you boy.

Speaker 3 (02:37):
I'm here, I'm here, I'm here a lot because the
dog style bro that album.

Speaker 1 (02:41):
That album was a It was a fun experience because
being a young rapper and being so infatuated with Doctor
Tryan and wa being able to work with him on
the Chronic and then to say okay, it's my turn
for my album you mean already like right now? Like yeah,
Like that was an amazing because I had all my
homies with me too, the people that I had started with,

(03:03):
the people that you know watched me growing to the
MC that I became, and then to have Doctor dre
perfect my craft with DC and the whole team, it
was a blessing.

Speaker 2 (03:13):
Yo.

Speaker 3 (03:14):
I was curious, like the like were you the brain
child behind the skits? Because when we're talking about like
using skips, skits within an album, just memorable skits, I
think about the beginning of Jesu and Hustlers with like
the school Teacher and even like the bathtub intro, the
Murder was the case intro, Like I feel like skits
are a lost art form and I can't think of

(03:36):
more iconic skits than on Doggy Style.

Speaker 2 (03:38):
That's the fact.

Speaker 1 (03:38):
Well, you got to understand, Doctor Dre was learning me.
We had just finished the Chronic album. We just forged
the friendship. We had been together for about a year,
and we started like hanging together like every day, like
just me and him, like and we pulled away from
everybody else. So he was learning the things that I
loved and liked while he was crafting my album. And
when we would be together, we would always either listen

(04:01):
to old school music or I will pop in the
VCR of an old black you know, explotation movie and
he would get that and get my spirit and say, Okay,
when we make your record, not only do I have
to capture your sound, but I gotta capture the essence
of who you are and that's sometimes isn't in the music,
it's in an inner sketch or skit before the song

(04:23):
or after the song. So we creatively came up with
things that made sense, like the shit.

Speaker 2 (04:29):
Would Nigga yo bitch chose me?

Speaker 3 (04:31):
Yep.

Speaker 1 (04:32):
I always loved that scene in the Maget and then
the bathtub scene is from Superfly when he trying to
get out and Eddie telling him to stay in.

Speaker 2 (04:46):
You know what I'm saying.

Speaker 1 (04:46):
So it's like you're getting all these movies scenes instilled
into my album because I'm such a fan of that.
And Dre as a producer captured every element of Snoop Dogg,
which was funny, gangster real.

Speaker 3 (04:59):
And it's crazy too because I think back to like
the way that the Chronic. You were the first voice
on the Chronic, but you weren't the first voice on
Doggie Style. No Rage, Lady of Rage just blacked the
fuck out to kick that album.

Speaker 1 (05:15):
Off right, So it was Rage and George Clinton well
the first voices on my album, and Doctor Dre. He
has a different way of thinking. He always know what
he's doing and we never know what the fuck he's doing.
But when he finishes, the shit sounds amazing. He knew
that he wanted Rage on the intro because Rage was

(05:36):
supposed to be next up with the album. Yeah, so
that's what that set up was about, hearing her voice.

Speaker 3 (05:41):
First, kind of like you were next up with the Chronic.

Speaker 1 (05:44):
Yeah, that was his train of thought. But it didn't
come to life, but that was his train of thought
for sure.

Speaker 3 (05:50):
It's crazy, man. I think I ran through the entire
album last night for a couple of times. The new
album Missionary, it's different, and I feel like it's like
kind of like an evolved I mean, cause if you
kind of go through the years of like even like
between Doggy Style to you guys getting back together for

(06:10):
two thousand and one, and obviously you guys have done
music since then, you know, but there's some shit on
this album and that's like, like the Tom Petty jelly
Roll record is crazy, like talk about because I saw
you went out to jelly Rolls Nashville show, which you
know was super dope shot the jelly. But how did
like the idea of bringing jelly roll onto the album

(06:31):
come up?

Speaker 1 (06:32):
Well, when we got the concept right to beat the hook,
my verse, Dray didn't want me to come with a
second verse because I had a second verse on there.

Speaker 2 (06:46):
He was like, nah, we need to get somebody on it.

Speaker 1 (06:49):
So they start throwing names out, like all kinds of names,
big name artists, country artists, this style of artists, and
the shit just didn't match. It didn't feel like. Then
the motherfucker said jelly Roll, and the whole room lit up.
Was like, that's the nigga him, and so we reached out.

(07:09):
And when we reached out, Drey was gonna send him
the track. Jelly Roll was like, no, I.

Speaker 2 (07:15):
Want to pull up.

Speaker 3 (07:15):
Yeah, for sure.

Speaker 2 (07:16):
He told me he came through. So I wasn't even
there though. So that's how gangsta it was.

Speaker 1 (07:19):
It was like I had to hear it after the fact,
and I didn't even meet him until I went to Nashville.

Speaker 2 (07:24):
Oh you didn't meet him. It's first time meeting him.

Speaker 3 (07:26):
You got to meet Bunny, his wife, and the wife, his.

Speaker 1 (07:28):
Whole team, his cruel, his best friend, and his other
best friend. This motherfucker had five best friends like this.
How they came in introduced me, Hey Snoop, I'm jelly
Roll's best friend. Look take my hand. Then so was
he finished, Hey Snoop, I'm jelly Roll's other best friend.
Then motherfucker. Hey Snoop Dogg. I'm Jelly Roll's real best friend.

(07:49):
I'm the one that discovered.

Speaker 2 (07:50):
All this shit.

Speaker 1 (07:51):
I said, I love Jelly Row because he got the
same kind of crew I got.

Speaker 2 (07:54):
My homies loved me the same way.

Speaker 1 (07:56):
If you ask seven of my homies right now, they
all gonna tell you, Nigga, I'm his best friend because
I'm friends with everybody.

Speaker 3 (08:01):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yo. I saw you talk about like
I saw a quote. It was an article you did
but essentially said that, you know, with this album, you
kind of wanted to remind people that you're like one
of the greatest of all time as an MC. Do
you feel like, one do you care about that conversation?

(08:22):
And two do you feel like when that conversation happens,
your name gets brought up enough?

Speaker 1 (08:28):
I mean, I ain't got time to watch my highlights.
I got a game to play them all here, so
I can't worry about if I'm into Sports Center Top
ten or the Hip Hop top ten. I keep putting
in work, you know what I'm saying. That's one thing
that's undeniable. You could check my resume. I came out
in ninety two and this is twenty twenty four, and
I've been relevant ever since I came out the dough forever.

(08:51):
In music, let's say that first music first, and then
other things culturally musically, yes, but music first, every year,
every decade, and then the other things are my side quest,
the things that I enjoy doing that I love doing it.
I want to inspire others to do by taking chances
on myself, like engaging and believing, believing in me, like

(09:14):
I don't have to have nobody confirm that I can
do this or try this. I just do it and
get it done, and then it becomes you know, spectacular
and famous and people love it, and hopefully it inspires
the next generation to try and do it because I
used to be a shy kid that was afraid to
make moves and jump out there and do things. And
now I'm a leader and I want to inspire the
next man that may be shy or embarrassed to step

(09:36):
up and become who he's supposed to be.

Speaker 3 (09:38):
I mean, you are the side quest, you know, master,
I would say.

Speaker 2 (09:43):
Well, me and Shaquille O'Neil.

Speaker 3 (09:44):
I'll look, shaq is close, but I feel like you're
kind of you've ran away with it for a while.

Speaker 1 (09:50):
But that's what I do do I do usually run
away with it, you know what I'm saying. That's what
I've been known to do. I'm a closer. You know
what I'm saying. A lot of guys are relief pictures.
I'm a closer. I close shit. You know what I'm saying.
When I get up there, expect a w because I
play hard, I practice hard, I study and I respect
the game. And when you do all those things, it
usually ends up in a successful way.

Speaker 3 (10:10):
I was gonna say, man like throughout like the last
thirty years, we've seen you have so many business ventures.
I think till like back in the day, owning like
Snoop Dogg clothing and like getting it from Burlington co
Factory as a kid. You know what I'm saying, It
was Outcast clothing and Snoop dog clothing around the same time.

Speaker 1 (10:28):
Shout out to CADATAI Jones Quincy Jones daughter. She the
one who took me to a guy by the name
of Michael Well. She took me to Andy Hill figure
first and Tommy Hill figure and she got me a
brand and deal with them. And then she said you
need to create your own line. Snoop Dogg clothing. She
gave me the idea, introduced me to the people, and
that's how Snoop Dogg Clothing got kicked off. And it's

(10:51):
before she even met Tupac.

Speaker 3 (10:53):
Yet, No Snoop dog Clothing was crazy. It literally was
like if like if you like it looked like shit,
you would just Snoop Dogg, like straight out the closet
is stupid. But I just feel like, you know, even
like going into the crypto space, like I feel like
you were like a real pioneer when it comes to
like showing artists like that, there is this other world

(11:15):
in which you can kind of monetize, you know. I
feel like maybe three years ago, there was people spending
serious money to have digital real estate next to your house.

Speaker 1 (11:23):
In sandbox niggas by buying digital property for hundreds and
hundreds of thousands of dollars, and the shit was like
this big and you couldn't touch it. But it was
the fact that I had went over to that industry
and I had went on the ground I had started
from the ground up. I didn't come over there and
try to grab money. I went over there and I
built what the creators. I went over there and let
them use my name, my likeness, did collaborations, you know,

(11:45):
changed the game, brought music over there, did things in
an unorthodox way to where it was appealing to that
world because that world is that same way, and I
wasn't a superstar to them.

Speaker 2 (11:56):
I was on the ground level with them.

Speaker 1 (11:58):
So whenever I would put something out, they would respect
it and buy it because I would usually do things
with them or allow them to use my name on
my likeness. Early when I first got into that world,
people was using my face and all kinds of shit.
My son was like, Pops, you gotta let 'em use it.
They love you, That's why they doing it. It's not
that they trying to make money off you.

Speaker 2 (12:18):
They love you.

Speaker 1 (12:19):
And once I understood that, then me and my relationship
with the metaverse took a whole new lift because it
was like Wow, Snoopers allowing us to use his face
and his likeness as a creator and musically use his
voice and blah blah this and that, and it was
a connection that can't nobody break cause I built that.

Speaker 3 (12:35):
Nah, that shit's crazy, definitely, uh O the first to
do that. I mean for sure, but in terms of
just like the new ventures, like obviously you and Dre
have a new drink.

Speaker 2 (12:46):
Gin and Juice, the gin and Juice and steal.

Speaker 3 (12:48):
Gen uh w th Like there's just so much. I
feel like every other week we see something new. What
is like your bandwidth like on a daily basis? Cause
I j I mean I see death Row on everything
I go to the store. There's death Row t shirts
at Walmart. There's the death Row Happy Dad. You know

(13:09):
what I'm saying, Like you got to have just I mean,
the work ethic is still so crazy at this point
in time in your career, Like how do you kind
of manage and deal with just all of the ventures?

Speaker 1 (13:20):
What I did, keV, I put a team around me.
For many years it would be me and a couple
of people making things happen. So what I did was,
I got a bigger team, I got a smarter team.
I got employees or professionals at what they do. And
then I'm back managed by William Morris and Aria Manuel.
So positioning myself to get the best out of me

(13:41):
while I'm putting in the best of my work right
now and not having to focus on so many different
things but being the creator, the boss, and the connector.

Speaker 3 (13:50):
I love it. I wanted to ask you about your
second album because it's an album I feel like doesn't
get talked about enough. It was probably one of the
highest anticipated albums of all time because it's obviously the
follow up The Doggy Style of The dog Father. What
do you feel like? Because I love that album, like
that that the you thought record was too short and Superflies?

(14:13):
But what what do you think kind of went wrong
with it? Was it like kind of like the beginning
your the splintering of the relationship with Sugar, Like what
kind of went wrong you think with dog Father? And
why it kind of doesn't get looked at in the
same kind.

Speaker 1 (14:25):
Of You got to think about what the dog Father was?
What was the dog Father? It was the follow up
album The Doggy Style, But what it was was Snoop
Dogg becoming a man. Snoop Dogg realized that he wanted
to live, that he wanted to separate from the madness,
and at that time it was looked at as it
was frowned upon because I was so gangster on my

(14:47):
intro and so gangster with the way I was living,
Like why don't you want to be gangster anymore. Well,
how about I'm fighting a murder case, and when I
win this murder case, I want to do right by
the system, by God, by the way I was raised.
And if the people around me don't get it, if
the fans don't get it, if the label don't get it,

(15:08):
fuck them, because in twenty twenty four, I'll be talking
about why I made that decision, why that record sounds
like that, why I was hope on that record, why
I wrote about life more than death. Why I seen
visions of me becoming a grandfather and living into my
sixties and seventies by saying the right things in my music.

(15:30):
Because realizing that the chronic and doggy style and the
dog pound ap and everything that I had worked on,
I had wrote all of the things that happened to
me that were negative. I manifested it. So I wanted
to write some positive shit.

Speaker 3 (15:43):
To matter ifest some positive shit, and it happened. Would
you say that going through that trial, which is obviously
one of the biggest trials in hip hop history, I know.
I talked to Warren G about it. He said he
was like, I got interrogated during that shit. You know
what I mean like, would you say the uncertainty of
like what your future looked like while you're going through
that trial like kind of like change, Like because what if,

(16:05):
like Doggy Style, you had that success and you were
on that meteoric rise and that trial didn't happen and
there wasn't something to kind of like shake you up
a little and be like, hey man, this shit you
know could get taken away, Like do you feel like that?
It kind of changed your trajectory as like a man
and an artist.

Speaker 1 (16:21):
Well, remember my good friend Tupacat got murdered, Sugar gets
separated from got separated from us. All this happening while
the dog Father is about to come out and then
comes out.

Speaker 2 (16:33):
So it's like.

Speaker 1 (16:35):
The label is in disarray, there's death, there's division. I'm
a crip bluzs and Crips is at it now. Sugar
ain't fucking with me no more really, So it's like
you don't really have the push and the support. And
then the record that I made wasn't as violent or

(16:56):
as gangster as the first one. So it's like if
you go see Scarface, or you go see a better analogy,
you go see a movie with Robert de Narrow where Casino,
and then you see him in Meet the.

Speaker 3 (17:11):
Foxers ah BO.

Speaker 1 (17:14):
Both great, right, but the gangsters don't want to go
see him in this family funny movie, but the shit
is amazing. They only want to see him shooting, chilling mafia.
That's all they want to see. So my audience was
brainwashed at the time to think that that's all we did.
And then you had Tupac smashing on niggas doing the

(17:38):
gangster shit. I'm wood him on America's Most Warning, but
then I ain't like that on my album. So it's
like I'm two people because when I'm with Tupac, I'm
fighting the murder case, but when I do the dog Father,
I win the murder case.

Speaker 3 (17:54):
Different.

Speaker 2 (17:54):
So when I'm.

Speaker 1 (17:55):
Fighting he, I'm gonna try to keep a gangster and
stay down and all that shit. But damn, I got
these yours looking at me. So when I finished, I
got to get.

Speaker 2 (18:03):
Back in there.

Speaker 1 (18:05):
I gotta beat this mode, right because you're on probation
right now, you're on bail.

Speaker 2 (18:11):
I'm fighting a murder case.

Speaker 1 (18:13):
Sugar is in between both, so it's like Dre is
on the way out and we don't know it.

Speaker 3 (18:20):
Crazy.

Speaker 2 (18:21):
So all this is going on.

Speaker 1 (18:23):
Yeah, and the murder case pre existed because it was
wild Mark wild Doggie style. It's just dragging on, it's
just dragging out. So I got to build my best
behavior so I won't get violated and get took to jail.
I had a house niggas you know. I had house
arrest for like six months. Yeah, because I damn near violated.
It was like walking that fine line trying to keep

(18:43):
a gangster. Then while I'm keeping a gangster with y'all,
then eight in the morning, guess where I gotta be
at in court with a suit on? Right, my client
is not gang affiliate, Mike client as soon as I leave. Yeah,
cub woo. It's a double life. Some got to give
and it's my life. So at the end of the day,

(19:03):
God gives you the control to control your life, to
make a decisions. And I made a decision to do
what I thought was the right thing, which is make
a record that was aim in that direction to deal
with what I was dealing with in life.

Speaker 3 (19:16):
In real life, I talked with Damian Young chot to Demiza.
He had said that you don't get enough credit for
trying to be a peacemaker during the East Coast West
Coast drama that was happening. He mentioned the show at
the Palace. It was like a power one a six show,

(19:36):
and I guess Biggie pulled up. You guys met backstage.
Biggie goes on stage. Does I think he did crush
on you or something like that? And he said that
you you walked out behind him like while he was
on stage, like while he was performing, and did your
you know, your snoop dance and shit, and he was
just like that was that was never something that you
would kind of like subscribe to. And I think that's
obviously you know, well, well, well that we kind of

(20:01):
know that, But like, was that like something that you
know just the whole time that was happening. Obviously there's
a source of words thing. But was that something that
that never just sat right with you in terms of
just that whole narrative.

Speaker 1 (20:13):
No, it didn't, because the East Coast was always the
pinnacle of rap. They was always the gods. They was
the ones who did it before anybody.

Speaker 3 (20:20):
I mean, you paid how much a slick rick on
donk oh Man.

Speaker 1 (20:22):
They was the ones who showed us how to do it.
So we would never want to get into it with
the inventors or the creators, but a certain situations made
us feel a certain way because we would never get
our songs played on radio with certain things that would
be biased towards us, and it was built up frustration.
And then you got you know things that's happened in
the industry with artists being shot at and being shot

(20:44):
you know what I'm saying. So it's like it built
up a hostility that was out of control.

Speaker 2 (20:49):
And I was a part of it. You know, New
York and New York video was fucking but that was
after them Nigga shot at us. We went out.

Speaker 1 (20:55):
We went out there to have them be in the video.
They wouldn't let us sit a radio station. Then they
us on ers and we didn't say nothing. Seven We
came up to high ninety seven, so we can tell you, hey,
New York, we're here to shoot a video. You know
what I'm saying. Dog Brown, pull up, come show us
some love. We're gonna be a Times Square. They wouldn't
let us on. Then the word gets out Dog Pound

(21:15):
Snoop Dogg and Tupac shooting a video and read hood
brook Brooklyn and we had to exit. So but we
kept it low. We didn't say nothing. We left it,
left it alone. And that was sort of kind of
like why Tupac had like animosity towards me, because he
knew that that happened to me, and he suspected that
that happened in it to him by the same circle.

(21:38):
And I was still willing to forgive.

Speaker 3 (21:42):
Right, you were still willing to be the bigger man.

Speaker 1 (21:44):
When he was locked up, I was the gangster. So
when he gets out, he expected me to stay the gainst.
When you watch gangster movies, it's always two gangsters, right,
and they ride it all the way out and then
one and then one of them like, man, I'm on.

Speaker 3 (22:00):
It's like Nasa and Belly. Nasa is like I want
to go to Africa and Tommy Buns is like fuck that.

Speaker 1 (22:05):
But that's life. That's just how it is. It's like
all of my relationships have been like that. Even with
me and Warren g when we started off, we was
tied it in the glove musically, and then it had
to take a point to where he had to separate
and do his own shit to create who the fuck
Warrene is because he would have just been up under
us and being Dre's little brother. And this now, motherfuckers
know that's Warren G the creator, g Funk, the regulator.

Speaker 2 (22:28):
He produced this. He did that.

Speaker 3 (22:30):
Only I mean saved deaf Jam as a West Coast artist, right.

Speaker 1 (22:33):
But you don't know the struggle of what it was
before he got to that point. It wasn't just all right,
Warren G, go do your own thing. It was maybe
it's arguments. When you see my biopick.

Speaker 2 (22:41):
You'll see it. I ain't gonna give you too much man.

Speaker 3 (22:44):
Now, he explained a little bit, like he was kind
of explaining like things got a little weird because he
was like kind of the only guy who wasn't with
Death Row and like kind of went and did his
own thing, right.

Speaker 1 (22:52):
Yeah, And he's the one that brought the main piece
to death Row, which is facts you.

Speaker 2 (22:57):
Bring the engine and you don't have to get in
the car.

Speaker 3 (22:59):
That's craziness. That is that's interesting, YO, talk to me
about you. Obviously getting with Pharrell kind of carved out
another era of your career. Paid the cost to be
the boss. Rhythmic Gangs to These were albums that I

(23:20):
feel like are are kind of like up there with
any of your bodies of work. Also shots of Blue
Carmont Treatment that's one of my favorites. And last meal
time Blue car Treatment so good.

Speaker 2 (23:29):
That's just so hard. Oh my god, that's my ship.

Speaker 3 (23:32):
But you like like being locked in with Dre in
a way that you have the level you have. You've
also worked with guys like DJ Premier throughout your career,
like you've worked with the greatest of all time, Tim Molann,
et cetera. But but like catching like that vibe with
Pharrell where you guys are able to like really kind
of ride a wave and like have multiple I mean,

(23:53):
drop it like it's hot. It's like I mean as
big a record that you have, you know what I mean,
Like how cool is that to kind of like get
in a group because a lot of people can get
in with producers and like, hey, Pharrel made the album.
We got a single, but you guys got into like
a real I mean the Bush album was Dope slept
on too.

Speaker 2 (24:10):
You know what people don't know about for real?

Speaker 1 (24:13):
This is what I really love about Cuz when he
worked with me, when we was doing the first couple
of things that we did, all he wanted to do
was be around my gangster homies as R and B
as he is and as melodic as he is.

Speaker 2 (24:28):
He was so infatuated with like, Snoop, bring your homies
up here, cuffs, have your homies up here. Cut.

Speaker 1 (24:35):
He's just just like that. He's like, that's how he
talked with being your homies up here, he cut, and
all my homies like I want the worst of the
worst of your homies, the one that steals, the one
that are getting to fight, or what I need.

Speaker 3 (24:48):
I want these studio sessions to be a real liability.

Speaker 2 (24:50):
I want niggas up here. It's so many words.

Speaker 1 (24:53):
So I would bring all the niggas up there and
that he would get. Like to me, he did what
Dre did with Doggy's chaff. He had to learn me,
but he had to learn my elements. And you can't
just do that sit in the studio with me. You
got to see me around my people. You got to
see how I interact with my people. You got to
get the vibe busts and when we made those records.
He even allowed people like LT Hunting to produce tracks.

(25:14):
He allowed Jelly Roll and other people to present because
he knew that they was a part of my team,
so it wasn't like it was a produced by Forarral
top to bottom. He had the majority of it. But
he allowed, hey man, your home way over there. Bring
him in there, don't you do beats, Let's see what
he got like. He was that type of you know,

(25:36):
collaborated with me to where it was like we had
fun together, and he was interesting because he wanted to
tap in to this gangster shit. Then when we was
into it with sug Knight, that's when he was trying
to pull up. He was like, hold on, wait a minute,
y'all really into it with the nigga, said, nigga, don't trip, nigga,
stay out with this cripshit.

Speaker 2 (25:54):
Nigga.

Speaker 1 (25:54):
We got this nigga and then once we handle Cuz
he was able to see all of that to see
how the situation resolved not with violence, but which is
standing up and being a man and putting your foot down.

Speaker 3 (26:11):
And then it's and then like that Bush album me
all there, I don't know that ship is done.

Speaker 1 (26:15):
I get talked about that overseas. They love that. That
was a great big hit overseas.

Speaker 3 (26:20):
Yeah, and it was I think the like what I
like I bought the CD, and I think the CD
reminded me like the old No Limit cases because it
was like a solid color case.

Speaker 2 (26:29):
Did you see the videos to Thattu, Yeah, for sure.

Speaker 1 (26:31):
The Stevie Wonder woan was amazing, the one with Charlie Wilson,
like his thought process to me that when I'm not
hearing on this earth anymore is when that record is
going to be thoroughly appreciated because it's so dynamic and
it's so futuristic that it was so ahead of its time.
People were so used to hearing me and him do
slappers and bangers, but we went to a whole other

(26:52):
region with that.

Speaker 3 (26:55):
I want to talk about, Like, I just watched your
cam interview and I know you touched a lot on
your No Limit era. I remember the anticipation because I
was a big MASTERP fan, like, ghetto dopeses my shit.

Speaker 2 (27:07):
I have my shit too.

Speaker 1 (27:08):
My home boy Badass Rest in Peace pulled up on
me in a Cadillac and he was like, Doggie, dog,
you gotta hit this shit, and he put the cassette
in and ghetto Dope and I fell in love with him.

Speaker 3 (27:19):
No Limit and whole fire. But when you first dropped
the game is to be Sold, not to be Told,
and you had like the like the no Limit style
cover and it was like your first I remember like
running to the Wear. I think I saved my money.
I might have sold some older CDs to get that motherfucker.
But that album felt to me like it was like

(27:41):
you go into No Limits world as to where uh,
top Dog felt to me like you brought back. Yeah,
now y'all got to come over here.

Speaker 2 (27:49):
Last Meal. Last Meal was straight see what you don't know? Three?

Speaker 3 (27:53):
Last Week is my favorite.

Speaker 2 (27:54):
Last Meal.

Speaker 1 (27:55):
Doctor Dre mixed it from top to bottom, every song
on there.

Speaker 3 (28:00):
So when you were working on Last Meal, where you
also simultaneously working on.

Speaker 2 (28:03):
Two thousand and one and the East Siders.

Speaker 3 (28:06):
Because we didn't get two thousand and one until after
Last Meal.

Speaker 1 (28:08):
Right, last Meal, East Siders first album and Chronic two
thousand and one time, and then we started working on
the Wash because we had wrote the Wash while we
did the Up a Smoke.

Speaker 3 (28:17):
Dude very slept on the soundtrack.

Speaker 2 (28:18):
Come on the.

Speaker 3 (28:20):
Nocturnalment that motherfucker. No but Last Meal. I remember when
when Dre was on the there's the voicemail.

Speaker 2 (28:26):
On that Snoop.

Speaker 1 (28:27):
I've been listening to your album and I ain't saying
nothing on this whole motherfucker on Layloy Laylo. But he
sequenced the whole album. He mixed everybody's song. Everybody gave
him the music. He sequest the Snoop Snoop Snoop, all
that into boom boom boom boom into that, into all
of that. He sequenced everything, even the ark yelly song

(28:48):
crazy that's that ship.

Speaker 2 (28:50):
Yeah, me and DLC wrote that.

Speaker 3 (28:52):
By the way, very slept on our record. That record
was big, big record at radio.

Speaker 2 (28:57):
No Me.

Speaker 1 (28:57):
I used to perform that record with COUD when he
was on the street. He's nigga that regular shooes nigga
Young Chank kank kank Kang guanank kankankankank kank Gang.

Speaker 2 (29:08):
Shout out to my nigga nots for making that beat
about the.

Speaker 3 (29:10):
Vah Yeah, oh man, But I'm curious, like, uh there.
I remember having a bootleg version of the album that
was supposed to come out, the fuck Death Row album.
There was like a I don't know if I don't
know how official it was, but I had like a
napster downloaded version of like a fake Snoop Dogg album,

(29:33):
but it was all it was you, But like that
was an album You're gonna drop with Mac.

Speaker 1 (29:38):
Ten Yeah, and a couple of songs that got out
because one of the engineers that I had worked ended
up going to work for Death Row and was sugared
him trying to put out that Walking Dead album.

Speaker 2 (29:48):
He slid them a field.

Speaker 3 (29:49):
Oh I remember that album. This Death Row chronic two
thousand comes out. There's a guy on there that sounds
just like.

Speaker 2 (29:56):
You, Top Doll.

Speaker 3 (29:57):
Oh he's he It's almost like like they went out
and they were like, we have to find a Snoop
Dogg impersonator to try to fool people. And then the
name top Dog. You had an album called top Dog.
You know, right, what were your thoughts when you heard that?

Speaker 1 (30:12):
Just that whole I was like, this nigga Sugar is
a real hater. Like That's what my thoughts was, you
know what I'm saying at the time. But then master
P had seized me to like forgive and to move
forward and not look back. Yeah, So I had to
get trained into not paying attention to it because it
was so much of it going on, Like every time

(30:33):
I would try to drop or Dre would drop.

Speaker 3 (30:36):
There would be something where if someone went to a
record store they'd see something else next to it and
be like, wait, what what's this?

Speaker 2 (30:41):
And then like the dead Man walking shit.

Speaker 3 (30:42):
I forgot about that.

Speaker 1 (30:43):
And then my fuck death Row album had leaked a
little bit of it because one of the guys that
was my engineers had ended up getting paid off by
death Row to work for them, and he slid a
couple of my songs over there. And that's when they
started creating finding somebody to sound like me?

Speaker 2 (31:00):
Can you believe that?

Speaker 1 (31:00):
It's like they did a talent search to find a
nigga that sound like me, which to me, it was
like I was. I was happy, like I'm really on
your nigga's mind, like that where y'all trying.

Speaker 3 (31:11):
To find a nigga that sound you can't just find
someone new, right.

Speaker 1 (31:13):
And it's like, okay, so I must be hurting, y'all.
And that's what put me on a mission. I started,
like when I went to make music. After that, my
mission was to make great fucking music. And I think
I went on a mission for like six straight years.

Speaker 3 (31:26):
So you went on a run.

Speaker 2 (31:27):
Like Snoop Dogg wasn't playing with nobody.

Speaker 1 (31:29):
Yeah, doing songs with everybody, putting people on, making sure
my records was right, doing big tours.

Speaker 2 (31:36):
You know what I'm saying.

Speaker 1 (31:37):
Getting down in the mixtape world, like whatever was coming out,
I was always ahead of it.

Speaker 2 (31:41):
Even with fifty cent was open enough for me.

Speaker 1 (31:44):
And we showed g Unit how to get his background
right because in the beginning they just was up there.
So I had the dog panting, all my crew with me,
so fifty would come in my dress room, we chop
it up. I give him a little piece of game.
Then before you know it, his show got right. Hold on,
don't do that in the club. Shouldn't be your first song.
That's got to be your last song. You can't come
out to that. That's at the back boom. Take him

(32:07):
on the road again. This time were on the road.
He dropped one of the niggas off the tour and
ended up making it his tour. And now it's just
me and him.

Speaker 2 (32:15):
Then I got a.

Speaker 1 (32:16):
Band rocking with the band. Next time I see him
on the road, he rocking with a band. So it's
like we learn, we teach, we give information. When you associated,
you affiliated. And I've been able to like take my
career and give game to other people and receive game
along the way.

Speaker 3 (32:33):
Yeah, for sure, during that kind of time where you
and and Sugar going back and forth, whether it be
you know, publicly or not, would you ever have thought
that like death Throw would be yours one day. Like
it's kind of crazy if you really think about it,
because you had you had your label Doghouse, which had

(32:54):
like doll these angels in the east Side is and
but fast forward and you I feel like you've taken
the death Row brand and like it's everywhere. Dude, Like
I feel like you've slapped that motherfucker on what, Like
you got that licensing shit going crazy, But.

Speaker 1 (33:10):
That's what you're supposed to do. Like my thing was
getting it cleaning it up. I had to clean up
the bullshit first because it was so much negative energy
around it. People was afraid of what Sug was gonna
think and how you know the industry would react to
doing business but with death Row considering knowing that this
nigga would be in the back trying to hate us,
saying things negative. But I was like, I'm just gonna
clean up all of this shit, give it a whole

(33:31):
new approach, walk it out in a different light, and
move with love as the purpose of Death Row Records.
They connect the dots that they didn't do, like, they
didn't do none of the things that I'm doing with
the label, and they had it way longer than me.
I ain't had the label for two years and I've
done more things that's been done with this label in
thirty years.

Speaker 3 (33:47):
I mean, the October London Kid is incredible, thank you,
and then obviously the new Dog Panama is crazy, east
Side is are back?

Speaker 1 (33:54):
You're I mean D Smoked Smoke. I want D Smoke
on Death Row Records. I'll say it publicly. We always
talk about it. We need to figure it out.

Speaker 3 (34:03):
I know we've been talked about. I know it was
in the air.

Speaker 2 (34:05):
I'm not ashamed to say I won't de Smoke of
from Inglewood.

Speaker 1 (34:08):
I live over here now, I'm in the Inglewood area,
and he's such a factor to the hip hop game,
to the community to just like even how I met
him on that show.

Speaker 3 (34:18):
Yeah that's true. And when you ask him where you're
from right now? But where are you from?

Speaker 1 (34:22):
And I'm checking him trying to see if he a
gang member, was he a rapper right, and come to
find out he becomes my brother.

Speaker 3 (34:28):
Yeah, and one of the best guys, shocking him and Sir.

Speaker 1 (34:31):
Bro won't you and Inglewood, Sir Davean, I take the
whole family.

Speaker 2 (34:38):
We're playing with me.

Speaker 3 (34:40):
In twenty eleven, I want to say, there's a historical
moment yourself corrupt the game. I'm missing somebody else. Essentially
passed the torch to Kendrick Lamar on stage. Yes, yes,
Kendrick gets emotional. I think that was like a real
turning point.

Speaker 1 (35:00):
Well, at that time the game, he was the one
that was carrying the tour. He was fucking carrying the
toys game, was sucking it up, he was getting it in,
he was busting, he was battling niggas, he was keeping
the gangster. He was taking niggas on tour, selling hell
of records. But he was doing g shit and we
shouldn't forget that. A lot of times we run past
him to get to the game.

Speaker 3 (35:19):
Had a grand I mean, he was holding the West Coast.

Speaker 1 (35:22):
That's why he was on stage when Kendrick was presented
that because it was all a part of us seeing
that he was the next in line. That's how we
do it on the West, we give it to who
was accordingly running the show, so game naturally on stage
with me, we felt like he didn't won. And it
wasn't no discussion that we had three weeks ago. That
shit happened right there.

Speaker 3 (35:42):
What happened on the spot.

Speaker 1 (35:43):
This nigga was fucking it up. We in the crowd
watching this nigga fuck it up. I'm sitting with Doctor
Dre and the crowd watching this nigga fuck it up,
and I'm like, I gotta go on stage with this nigga.

Speaker 2 (35:52):
Dream. I'm sorry, I can't be in the crowd.

Speaker 1 (35:54):
So I go on stage and he do another song,
then another song, and they look over at me and
they had me to mic. I'm like, man, fuck all
this shit, nigga, this nigga.

Speaker 2 (36:02):
Is the king.

Speaker 1 (36:03):
And everybody agreed, and that nigga broke down in tears.
And it was beautiful because I watch him now and
I see all the work he put in before he
took the crown and after he got the crown.

Speaker 2 (36:17):
He is a true king.

Speaker 3 (36:19):
When you heard him talk about your and whacked out
mirros and posting the tailor freestyle, I I saw you
retweet it and say it was the Edibles. What were
your thoughts when you first heard.

Speaker 1 (36:29):
That's my nephew. Man, he's a rapper man. He's supposed
to speak his mind and tell his truth. Yeah, that's
the way he felt, you know what I'm saying. And
he has the right to say that. I'm his big
home boy, So I have to take what's given to
me from his perspective because he's speaking truth, and the
truth shouldn't hurt you, It should make you better.

Speaker 2 (36:48):
You know what I'm saying.

Speaker 1 (36:49):
I'm one to accept truth when it's brought to me directly.
He feels that I shouldn't have played that damn I
was on him edibles, my Nigga, I gotta be more
careful you, right, nephew.

Speaker 3 (37:01):
I mean there was like an AI transposed version of
you on that song, which was crazy, right, Like Yeah,
that shit was diabolically like I don't even know, like
one of the weirdest things.

Speaker 1 (37:11):
But the crazy part is I can say it. What
happened was what had happened was That's how Nigga said.
What had happened was I did a collaborative post with someone.

Speaker 2 (37:22):
You know, you do a.

Speaker 1 (37:22):
Collaborative post and you do a lot of those, right,
So when I do it, I don't listen to the music.

Speaker 2 (37:28):
I just see Jen and Juice because it's my brand. Right.

Speaker 1 (37:32):
So when I posted, I'm thinking I'm posting Jen and Juice.
I don't know what song it says. I don't I'm
not hip to everybody's music.

Speaker 2 (37:38):
Right. Then I get the word Nephew didn't like what
you did? What did I do? You play some music?

Speaker 3 (37:47):
What music?

Speaker 2 (37:48):
Then I had to go look at them. I'm like, oh,
that's cuz damn.

Speaker 1 (37:53):
So then I deleted it, called nephew, left him a
message because he ain't picked up. He was working on
this shit. I left him a message, Nephew, it's uncle Snoop.
I got the message. I apologize. I was fucked up.
My bad.

Speaker 3 (38:08):
Did you feel like at all, like weird about like that?
Like Drake using your voice?

Speaker 1 (38:14):
Man? I don't want to be in nobody's shit. Man,
I like being in my own shit. You know what
I'm saying.

Speaker 3 (38:18):
Because you didn't know that was happening. No, I didn't
to me like if you were gonna do that, like
you should like tap in, like, hey, I'm gonna use
your voice on some shit.

Speaker 2 (38:27):
But see I'm such a big figure. It's I'm Uncle Snoop.

Speaker 1 (38:31):
I'm accessible to everybody, so everybody feels like they can
because I don't have too many parameters when they come
to me. But when it comes to beef, that's a
real parameter that I do have. I don't get in
nobody's beef. I'm usually the one who ends the beef,
but if it's out of my reach, then I step
out and allow two men to get an understanding. And
that's what I feel like, these two men and two

(38:53):
rappers should establish where they don't need me to take
side or jump in. I'm from no West, so my
heart lies on the West.

Speaker 3 (39:03):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (39:03):
Well, when it comes to this ship, you gonna handle
your business because you from the motherfucking West. You don't
need no help. And if you needed help, you wouldn't
have to ask. I would have been on the double.

Speaker 3 (39:14):
That's fair. What are your thoughts on the lawsuit?

Speaker 2 (39:21):
Next question?

Speaker 3 (39:22):
I didn't got to ask.

Speaker 2 (39:25):
Next question? You know, we in on the West, we
hold court in the streets. Guh.

Speaker 3 (39:30):
Fair See, that's that's all. Yeah, that's a fair point.

Speaker 2 (39:32):
That's just what we call it.

Speaker 3 (39:34):
YO on this new album is there's there's a I
love the way you ended it. The negotiator was hard,
it's it's it's a lot of sonics on this album.
There's a lot of dope, like what I feel like
what you all were able to do was also like
shine a light on some features that weren't necessarily like
household names that have been like doing their thing for
a while. Was there any anything that didn't get finished

(39:59):
feature in time for like that almost you knows cross
the finish line making the album, or that you were
trying to make happen that just didn't end up working out.

Speaker 2 (40:08):
Nah. We were specific about what we wanted.

Speaker 1 (40:12):
We had a white board in the room, white board,
not a white boy a board, and the nixt thame
you had a white boy in the room, white board,
b old ard, and we would write down, you know,
the songs accordingly that we thought that would make it.
And then we had another list called shit out of Luck.
So the Shit out of Luck was the songs that
didn't make the album. So we would always look at

(40:34):
these and then look at Shit out of Luck and
be like, which one?

Speaker 2 (40:37):
So give you a perfect example.

Speaker 1 (40:39):
It's probably not the answer you're looking for it, but
I think it's good we had the album right here.

Speaker 2 (40:45):
Then we're looking that Shit out of Luck.

Speaker 1 (40:47):
I don't like this one song on the album, and
Draine really fucking with it either, So we're trying to
figure out what should we do.

Speaker 2 (40:57):
Or how can we make it better?

Speaker 1 (40:58):
So I say, hey, that motherfuck over there on Shit
out of Love, that's a hit if.

Speaker 2 (41:04):
You just touch it. It's sticky, situation, fire, banging fire.
That motherfucker was over there.

Speaker 3 (41:12):
It wasn't even gonna make the album, no way.

Speaker 1 (41:14):
Yeah, I had to go fish hooking back in and say, cuh, nigga, you.

Speaker 2 (41:19):
Hear what I'm saying on that.

Speaker 3 (41:20):
Yeah, no, you're going in.

Speaker 1 (41:22):
And you hear if you touch that music and put
all that and then when it changes into.

Speaker 2 (41:25):
The oh my god, it's an experience for sure.

Speaker 1 (41:29):
So that was one of those records where I had
to go save it rather than records that didn't make it.

Speaker 3 (41:36):
Was there like other attempts of you guys doing a
version of this throughout the years, because we always hear
like Dre is so like I don't know how many
times we've heard about the Detox and how many times
it's been restarted, Like did you guys ever attempt to
do this specific mission of an album and it just
didn't end up coming to fruition in the past.

Speaker 2 (41:57):
Nope.

Speaker 3 (41:57):
So this is the first time.

Speaker 2 (41:58):
The don't miss.

Speaker 1 (41:59):
Yeah, that motherfucker don't miss when me and him say
we going in, we're locked in.

Speaker 2 (42:05):
Yeah. We never locked in after this.

Speaker 1 (42:07):
The last time we locked in was the last meal
when it was like, Hey, card I need you to
mix my album and I sat up there with him
and he mixed every song, but he didn't produce every song,
but he heard all of my lyrics on every song.
So when I got to certain songs, when we got
to that's that shit, he was like, you got you
in DLC, gotta write this again. So he made me
like rewrite certain things, and when we did the wrong idea,

(42:30):
he loved badass verse and then my verse. He was like,
I like the way you started, but you got even
to change. That's why when I changed, I said I'm
down with P and d r E A real nigga
from the motherfucking LBC. I just looked like this, I
stay down with the twist. I'm real with this some
deepest abits. I gave you a pound, then I gave
you a wife a kiss. I had to dip because
y'all was full of that bullshit. Yeah, so he made

(42:52):
me change all of that when it wasn't even his beat.
So now when we lock up on this project, it
ain't like that. It's like I'm producing you snoop. So
that means when you come over here, you sit down
and you follow my instructions. And I wanted That's what
I wanted. With all of the shit that I'm doing,
I was missing that last piece, that musical piece that

(43:14):
was dynamic and transparent with how I'm living right now,
rather than you judging me off of Doggie style Blue
Carpet Paid the Calls. No, you're judging me off a
missionary twenty twenty four, How I'm Living and har I'm Rocket.

Speaker 3 (43:27):
You had said when I first walked in, you were
saying that this is like this is like your main shit,
Like all the other shit are off side quests, right,
But the music has always been the lifeline. Like I
think about the algorithm, we're super dope, Like you've had
even the gangster grill shit, you know what I mean,
Like I fuck Mount Wesmore came out. You know what
I mean? Is it hard for you to still be inspired,

(43:52):
like to like get in the studio, and when you
lose any inspiration, what do you do to kind to
light that fire back to kind.

Speaker 1 (44:02):
Of I think having a record label, I would never
lose interest in the studio. And then I got three
studios here, and then I got so many dynamic artists
that I love working with and love seeing them make records.
And then I'm always listening to what's hot and what's new,
and then I'm listening to what's old that last forever.

(44:23):
So it's like I'm challenging myself to try to make
shit that matters. Music is the universal language of all people,
and if you bless with the abilities to do it,
you're supposed to give up as much as you can.
I look at the ones that have passed away and
moved on and how their music remains and how their
music like really touches the soul because they put their

(44:44):
heart into it. And that's what I'm doing.

Speaker 3 (44:49):
I gotta there's an album that I can't get on Spotify.
I only can listen to it on YouTube, and it's
a shitty upload, the two on three album.

Speaker 1 (44:56):
I'm gonna get it back. I'm gonna get contrued. What's
going Like TVT had it in they l.

Speaker 3 (45:00):
I remember it was out on TVT so flies by ship.

Speaker 2 (45:03):
Dog like yeah, and they dissolved.

Speaker 1 (45:05):
They were ones who gave me the first deal for
the East Siders two one three. They was the realist.
Motherfucker Mark Binnich rest in Peace was a great guy.
But they had that album and the label I think
went bankrupt. So they got to call Tom Wada knows
who got that motherfucker.

Speaker 2 (45:20):
What's his name?

Speaker 3 (45:21):
This is not on Spotify.

Speaker 1 (45:23):
No, I gotta get I can get the whole album,
like you want to release it on death Row like remastered,
that'd be.

Speaker 3 (45:30):
The way to go. I mean, I know when I
was talking to Warren, he said he has like a
pretty serious he do well. He's also got like unreleased
Nate Dog shit.

Speaker 1 (45:38):
He got him and fred Reg both they got a
bunch of n Nate Dog used to go from Warren
G's house to Fred Reg's house. Then he used to
fuck with this dude named Lance. But Lance was his engineer,
so Nate would work out of his house. He would
make song after song. Him and Tupac got the same
work ethics.

Speaker 3 (45:54):
Oh so that'll tell you how much unreleased Nate doalk
news because.

Speaker 1 (45:56):
Too, him and Tuplac got the same work ethic. I'll
say that that's how he's on so many different hooks.
That's why when people will call, Nate would show up.
He gonna get that bag and give you a hell
of a hook.

Speaker 3 (46:07):
Would you consider a version of like a like finding
some of that unreleased Nate dog shit and maybe doing
something with it on death row?

Speaker 1 (46:15):
Hell yeah, And I got a beautiful relationship with his
mother and Miss Ruth, so we would make sure that
the estate get the majority of the fire.

Speaker 3 (46:22):
And his son is dope, and hell's dope.

Speaker 2 (46:24):
Come on.

Speaker 1 (46:24):
Nigel played in the Snoopy Football League. He was my
quarterback for a couple of years.

Speaker 3 (46:28):
That's crazy.

Speaker 2 (46:29):
I coached that kid. That's my guy.

Speaker 3 (46:30):
By the way, shout out to the underdogs. I see
the poster behind.

I know that that nigga Easy was on my.

Speaker 3 (48:02):

Speaker 2 (48:05):
That shit so hard So when you first heard it,
did you think that falk no fuck them niggas.

Speaker 3 (48:13):
Because that shit as hard as fuck, Like.

Speaker 1 (48:15):
You don't want to give no nigga no credit with
a nigga dissing you nigga.

Speaker 2 (48:18):
And we and we was on them nigga's head.

Speaker 1 (48:20):
We had what would you do, We had dred, we
had all kind of shit. We was busting them upside
the head. But when they dropped that motherfucker, we felt
that one. That shit was hard, like we felt like
the other ship. We didn't put that motherfucker right there.
Because Easy was going in on the nigga. I was like, damn,
I love Easy, Why are you going so hard on me?
But then I had to think, look what you did

(48:41):
to him, Look what you said about him, Like you
didn't even get off to a good start with somebody
that you really loved.

Speaker 2 (48:46):
Dog.

Speaker 3 (48:47):
It's crazy because Warren was telling me there was a
certain point in time during the beef that like Easy
and Dre were like communicating yeah, and damn near You're like,
like I want to say, he said, they were like,
damn your neighbors.

Speaker 2 (49:01):
And we didn't know it.

Speaker 1 (49:02):
Yeah, so we we taking to be personal this nigga
Doctor dre making records.

Speaker 2 (49:08):
Like he ain't. It ain't that serious for him.

Speaker 1 (49:10):
That's what we have seen because we come from a
lifestyle of we do what we say, so if we're
gonna say it, we gotta do it. You know what
I'm saying, Doctor Drake come from there. We making records.
We took his shit personal. When it was just business
with him, he was just trying to get his business straight,
but we took it personal and dis niggas and when
we see y'all, niggas is on and pop and what's

(49:31):
happening the cub what y'all want to do?

Speaker 2 (49:33):
When he wasn't like that. If he's seeing easy, he
just be like, what's haddening? Neighbors?

Speaker 3 (49:39):
We didn't know that.

Speaker 2 (49:40):
We think of this nigga lived in confetence.

Speaker 3 (49:43):
Wardry was like they would see each other like, well,
they were taking the trash out all the time.

Speaker 2 (49:47):
Wow, Like what come on? Man?

Speaker 3 (49:49):
Who would have thought?

Speaker 1 (49:50):
See, Warren was in the middle of all that shit
because he was there from the beginning game verway, so
all of them was his family members, so he could
never take a side.

Speaker 3 (50:00):
Not that that was interesting.

Speaker 1 (50:02):
They are easy And then y'all got us on that
draister knock out. Y'all, y'all answered us on some crip shit.
Y'all did that cause it's a great record, great motherfucking record.
You know what I'm saying. That's what a real man
do when he gets stolen. He got to take that.

Speaker 3 (50:15):
They it's been said that you smoked in the White House.

Speaker 2 (50:20):

my lawyer advised me, I don't know how much time
you can get for that.

He did get parted.

Speaker 2 (50:44):
Well.

Speaker 1 (50:44):
I ain't gonna tell on myself, but let me say
the bathroom had a nice aroma to it after I left.

Speaker 3 (50:49):
Hypothetically speaking, someone who's passed passed through security at the
White House, how would someone sneak of pre.

Speaker 2 (50:55):
Roll in in your sock?

Speaker 3 (50:56):
In your sock?

Speaker 1 (50:57):
That's fair, you know, to pat a nigga down if
you got them socks with those of that. They feel
like it's part of the sock. Nigga roll got out
of rolls in the sock, so he slide him in
the road. And they ain't for the I'm the d

and he has all of the history when it comes
to defending me. He would be my lawyer and my
hip hop statistician.

Speaker 3 (52:14):
Well, I have Doggy Style. I kind of have like
a one, two three at any given time of my
favorite album ever, it's doggy Style. It's really doggy Style
or Illmatic to be quite honest, what's one of those two?
And it's for me it's doggy Style. I mean doggy
Style changed my life, like I told you, But he
looked like doggy Style to me is like the kind

(52:34):
of epicenter of like everything in like you could trace
so much back to that album. But me and Glasses
always talk about how when we're talking about like like
there's like a you're a one of one, You're the
most famous motherfucker on the planet Loki, Like there's I
think you're You're like like are you like a self

(52:55):
aware to realize like you're you might be the most
famous person alive.

Speaker 2 (53:00):
I don't know. I can't go certain places I know that.

Speaker 3 (53:03):
Where can't you go to your mama house? No fucking
but like I mean you you might be the most
famous person like on the planet. Like who doesn't know
who you are? You know what I'm saying, Like there's
people who don't know who Lebron James is. There's people
who don't know even Donald Trump, you know what I mean? Like,
I feel that's crazy, keV.

Speaker 2 (53:20):
I don't. I don't know.

Speaker 1 (53:20):
I mean, you know, when you when you're in the body,
you don't have that experienced out of body experience. But
at the same time, I'm watching how my base is growing,
how the fan base of people that would never look
at me, speak to me, recognize me.

Speaker 2 (53:36):
You have an Elf on the shelf, Snoop on the stoop.

Speaker 3 (53:39):
Do you know how fucking crazy that is? And my
kid We've been doing Elf on the shelf with this
kid since he was a baby, right, And this year
he said, next year I want the snoop.

Speaker 2 (53:51):
I said, what the d o? Double man? The kids
love him. He get down there and talk to him.
You know what I'm saying.

Speaker 1 (53:55):
It's a big difference from a superstar that's up here
and the kids gotta can I have your Yeah?

Speaker 2 (54:00):
Snoop Dogg. Good right here? Hey, what's that now you doing?

Speaker 3 (54:04):
Yo? I wanted to ask you to speak shout to
Jason Martin the Homely Problem. Him and I had a
debate on my pod. We're talking about which label is greater,
Death Row or TDE. I said death Row because I
think of the tree that came from everything that came

(54:27):
from Death Row. But TD is right there for you, man, Like,
what has it been like watching just like some even
another like West Coast label, just even being in that
conversation like.

Speaker 1 (54:40):
Well, first of all, let me say this Top is
my god. I love him. I watched his hustle, his
climb to where he got to, getting his artists together
as simbling all of that talent, putting the gangs to
the back, putting the talent to the front, keeping that
family vibe, making sure everybody supports each other, keeping a
legit clean business, non violent. Top deserves a lot of respect,

(55:06):
been clean, been righteous, got his boys working with him, got.

Speaker 3 (55:10):
His kids and his sons are helping with Man like this.

Speaker 1 (55:13):
Needs to be commended. Does the annual Christmas event that
beauty peaceful? They did the walk in Compton where it
was beautiful like the things that he does is overshadowed
sometimes by the music and the things that his artists do.
But he's got to be a backbone and the foundation
to this. And he watched for many years label executives

(55:34):
mishandled power and abuse artists and do things the wrong way.
So he just practices the great way of doing business.
That's why I love him and appreciate him and support him.
And he got my back and I got his back
when it comes to anything musically community wise, and that
needs to be commended. As far as what he does,
as far as the simboling and keeping his business legit.

(55:55):
You never hear no smut nothing negative about TDE. He
don't have that back lash of death Row that I
had to take on right and get rid of. So naturally, yes,
you would say that TDE is the new version of
death Row.

Speaker 3 (56:09):
I mean, and also like better, a much longer run,
but better, because I feel like people forget how short
like the death Row run was, like.

Speaker 2 (56:15):
We was the Michael Jordan bulls cuh right.

Speaker 3 (56:18):
Like it felt like it was forever. But if you
really look back.

Speaker 1 (56:21):
To Michael Jordan was ninety two to ninety six, Michael
when Michael Jordan win this championship with the Bulls.

Speaker 3 (56:28):
It was ninety ninety one was the first one, right,
and then to ninety three and then yeah, I mean
two three Pietz.

Speaker 2 (56:36):
Yeah, right, so we went up to ninety six.

Speaker 1 (56:38):
I say ninety six cause that's when Tupac came, right,
Dupac came in ninety six and he passed away in
ninety six, So you got to think about that's how
long our run was, ninety two to ninety six.

Speaker 3 (56:48):
Yeah, TV's going on nine to now. I mean, and
TD got R and B and he got the biggest
one of the biggest pop stars in the world, Sissa.

Speaker 1 (56:56):
And they got that new girl she shees supers. They
like they keep hitting you upside the head with shit abs.
So motherfucking schoolboy, Q Jay Rock Sir, Inglewood Sir.

Speaker 2 (57:08):
Like they just flood in the game. And it's like,
you got to commend.

Speaker 3 (57:11):
That ras from Long Beach.

Speaker 1 (57:13):
So we at Death Row we look up to them
as opposed to the other way around.

Speaker 2 (57:20):
And how it used to be.

Speaker 1 (57:21):
He used to be they'd look up to us because
we was the big fish in the small pond. Now
I's like they sat in the board setting the trend
and the things that his artists and what they're doing
is things that I can follow and do for my
artists and for myself. That's what the game is about,
learning and getting information and not being too big to ask.
I called Kendrick maybe a year and a half ago

(57:43):
when I was overseas and I had watched him perform
at the Paris He had did a show in Paris
on Amazon, and I was so fucking intrigued with his
show and his showmanship and the way he had his
shit together. I hit Terrys Mare and I said, cook
me k dot number. He gave me his number and
I called cause. I said, man, how the fuck did

(58:06):
you do that?

Speaker 2 (58:07):
Show? Man?

Speaker 1 (58:07):
What I got to do to make my show like that?
And he gave me some simple shit about like just
keep doing the shit you do, and but it was
so much information in that small conversation that I ended
up making my show like even better. But that's me
not having an ego and reaching out to someone who's

(58:29):
younger than me, flyer in me to open in me
and got a tap on some shit that I need
to get information on.

Speaker 3 (58:35):
Would you see would you say? Because I feel like
that is one thing about you, Snoop is it feels
like you are like as big as you are, as
legendary as you are, You're like you have a lot
of humility, Like you you're willing to like step aside
from your ego. Would you say that like that is
a key to longevity.

Speaker 1 (58:53):
Yeah, whatever you put out to what you're gonna get. Like,
it's a lot of shit that be happening to people,
and then you wonder why. It's the energy that they
put out, Like I went through mins early because that
was the energy I put out. So, like I told
you when I got to The dog Father, I was
trying to find a new energy and I've just been
sticking with it and it is what it is. You

(59:15):
got to find the energy that the universe provides for
you to keep you in a safe space. And some
people don't do that. They always go to the negative
energy or they try to find ways to you know,
impress people instead of trying to be the best version
of themselves.

Speaker 3 (59:29):
That's fair, that's fair, man. Look, Missionary is out. It
is a great body of work.

Speaker 1 (59:35):
What what would you rate it on a So when
I got a new dog album, I ain't even talking
about wanted ten just snooped off.

Speaker 3 (59:41):
I have two fool listens, so you can't give me
no radio. So that's what I'm saying. So I was
at the TD thing last night.

Speaker 2 (59:48):
I came to your mixed up. You had all that
good music.

Speaker 3 (59:51):
So on my on my way to your DJ at
the Teah event, Well I came. I came to your
thing last night, so on my way to your thing,
I listened.

Speaker 1 (59:57):
By the way you DJing first at the TD event
when you walked in KIV, you was rocking.

Speaker 2 (01:00:01):
You had the party rocking and got some rounded and
I couldn't see you no more.

Speaker 3 (01:00:05):
This was crazy. Forest Whitaker caught a crazy straight on
the album. By the way, he says lier than.

Speaker 1 (01:00:12):
I said, it's the only boy that that that Ron Well,
he's in the room discussing. It was like, what Ron
with that? Oh Forest, Okay, let's go.

Speaker 3 (01:00:27):
I would say, I mean, dude, I would say this
like it would be just I mean, I can't really
give you, like a serious rating off off of because
because even like on our way over here listening to
it for a third time, it just felt good.

Speaker 2 (01:00:45):
It's one of them things gonna ruin you.

Speaker 3 (01:00:47):
I think all the great albums do.

Speaker 2 (01:00:48):
That's what I was about to say.

Speaker 1 (01:00:50):
The Chronic album, Yeah, it became when it first came out,
g than it had to row. She thing had to grow,
then Dreda, it grew a little bit more. By the
time he got to Let Me Ride, motherfuckers had lived

(01:01:10):
with the album and they had understood what it was about.
So then when we get to Doggystown, that's what all
the expectation and anticipation because you didn't hurt all this
great shit. This has been so many years separated from
me and doctor Dre, so you expecting snooping Dre, but
you ain't heard it so long you don't even know
what the fuck it is.

Speaker 3 (01:01:31):
Yeah, because it's new too, and it's.

Speaker 2 (01:01:33):
Always been new. We've never been what they are.

Speaker 1 (01:01:36):
Ye think about the records that we've done, they've never
sounded like anything that was out that year, and they've
never been in the world of I think.

Speaker 3 (01:01:45):
That's just kind of I mean, I think even like
Central Seduction is like, no one has ever made a
song like that since or before.

Speaker 2 (01:01:52):
He read for writing that record for.

Speaker 3 (01:01:53):
Me, such a great fucking record.

Speaker 1 (01:01:54):
He wrote it for himself. But then he said, I
don't want to say this record what you think you won't.
I said, I'm going up might check, I'm going Figatto.

Speaker 3 (01:02:09):
When you guys like were getting like like finishing up
this album. Was this around the time like the Kendrick
shit was really because it feels like there's this West
Coast moment that, like you know, my boy DJ Head
always says, like all the like everyone's setting it up
for like the West Coast to have another moment to

(01:02:29):
like run hip hop like you guys did in the nineties, Right,
do you feel that that same energy, like yo, like
kind of all eyes are on us over here now,
like it's a matter of like delivering now.

Speaker 1 (01:02:39):
With the records. I'm gonna tell you this hip hop
always shifts. It shifted from day one. East Coasts had it,
They ran it. It was they whirl.

Speaker 2 (01:02:49):
They controlled the media, radio, look the look, the style.

Speaker 3 (01:02:53):
By the way, they still control the media for the most.

Speaker 1 (01:02:55):
They look, the style, the everything. Right then it shifted
the West Coast. We took it.

Speaker 2 (01:03:02):
Yeah, we didn't ask for it. We took it. And
when we took it, we ran with it.

Speaker 1 (01:03:07):
We showed motherfuckers how you can have it outside of
New York and remain you while doing it. Then it
shifted back to the East coast because Biggie and them
came and took that motherfucker back. Then DM Mex and
all the niggas came in fifty, said jay Z, And
then nigga New York niggas was not playing nigga like,
hold on, y'all gonna take some shit that we created. Nigga,
Wait a minute, Boom took it. But when they took it,

(01:03:31):
they was not respecting.

Speaker 3 (01:03:33):
The South, and the South has had it.

Speaker 1 (01:03:36):
They did not respect the South, but the West always
respected the South.

Speaker 2 (01:03:40):
So what the.

Speaker 1 (01:03:41):
South did was said, hey, let's call our cousins from
the West and asked them what they did. We just
gang bang and took our shit. Oh that's what you
gotta do, yep. And guess what else we did. We
made them do what we do. What you mean they
gang bang? Now, Oh that's all you gotta do. Cool,
we gonna bounce, We're gonna get crunked, we're gonna put

(01:04:02):
these grills in our mouth.

Speaker 2 (01:04:03):
We're gonna talk about these strip clubs.

Speaker 1 (01:04:05):
We're gonna pop this players ship from down South, and
we're gonna take this motherfucking rap game, and we're gonna
hold it longer than y'all niggas had it. I mean, hello, jeez,
they probably had the longest run. It's so good for
the South. Niggas rap like them now. Everybody stop me
when I'm stop me when I'm lying. No, I didn't

(01:04:26):
even wrap on something, but remember who saved me from death?

Speaker 3 (01:04:30):

South West connect We've always been there. It's just been
a disconnect with the East. So when the South took it,
they don't want to give it back. The South don't
want to give it back. But there's somebody strong that
can take it from the South.

Speaker 2 (01:04:50):
That's us the West.

Speaker 3 (01:04:53):
I think that's what's dope about the timing of Missionary.

Speaker 2 (01:04:56):
You could have made that motherfucker to a cartoon that
should have been.

Speaker 3 (01:04:59):
Hard Missionary and gn X coming out in the same
like months.

Speaker 1 (01:05:03):
Hey, hey, don't sleep on ice Cube album and the
Cube album is dope.

Speaker 3 (01:05:06):
It's my egos, my shit. Great that it is so sensitive,
but there's even like the dog Pan album a few
months ago, the east side of shit is. I just
feel like it's like it's and I just hope that
is there anybody on the younger side of La hip
hop that you got your eye on that you're just
a fan of isn't necessarily associated.

Speaker 2 (01:05:23):
That Meet the WAPs, that's the name of Meet the Woops.

Speaker 1 (01:05:26):
I love him, Yeah, I love him because I love
I love the Red Side, I love the JA. But
I love how the rap game on the West is
leveling out. Like for a while, you know, the crips,
we was like dominate for sure, So now you're starting
to see young blood homies get it in and collaborate
and win and then do things on their own and

(01:05:48):
peace up and network.

Speaker 2 (01:05:49):
That's what the West is about.

Speaker 1 (01:05:50):
It's about And I command Kendrick for this too, for
bringing the Hispanics in as well, because that's what the
West is. We are made up of many cultures, and
basically Hispanic Blacks are the dominant off the top.

Speaker 3 (01:06:05):
Yeah, and there's such so many dope Mexican rappers out
of La right, So it's like the Coyote Lefty Gun
plays the.

Speaker 1 (01:06:10):
Work that we do. You know a lot of times
we do work and it don't be broadcast. Like it's
an artist that I got on Death Row named Julean
Tordaz who makes a mediachi music and fred Rick brought
him to me. He performs at the Dodger games and
does all kinds of things. Come to find out, the
girl that's singing on kendrick album is in his band.

Speaker 3 (01:06:29):
Oh yeah, because he found her at the Dodger game.

Speaker 2 (01:06:32):
Hello.

Speaker 1 (01:06:32):
So this is how we work on the West. Like
his plug, his plug, his plug. That's why on that
song gorgeous? What I say last time I checked, I
was the plug to your plug. I'm the fucking connect,
hear me. I am the plug to the plug.

Speaker 3 (01:06:50):
The actual connect.

Speaker 2 (01:06:51):
Hello.

Speaker 3 (01:06:52):
Yes, the source, I'm the power, the source.

Speaker 2 (01:06:54):

Speaker 3 (01:06:58):
Well listen everyone go get the album. It's incredible. The
vinyls Wild. If you guys want to a condom.

Speaker 2 (01:07:05):
You want a condom to spend around on your s
P twelve.

Speaker 3 (01:07:08):
Hundred literally, like you said, this is the clinic one.

Speaker 2 (01:07:12):
Though you just want to get it. You got VD
the free one. What you're doing in here, Get you
a couple of rows and get on out of.

Speaker 3 (01:07:19):
Here in a paper bag. They send you out the door.

Speaker 2 (01:07:21):
And then you see you're a preacher on the way in.
Like what you're doing here? Brother? I just came to
take a physical. Brother is ain that kind of doctor though.

Speaker 3 (01:07:31):
The drink is everywhere. I mean, it's everywhere.

Speaker 2 (01:07:34):
Man.

Speaker 1 (01:07:34):
We're working right now, okare right now. We're in our
wonder years, were having fun. We set in trends. We're
showing people that there's no such thing as age when
it comes to hip hop and business. A lot of
times we get categorized as far as like you're old.
But they don't do that to any other industry, but
hip hop.

Speaker 2 (01:07:49):
No.

Speaker 3 (01:07:50):
So your holy stores are still torn, they're like fucking
eighty years old.

Speaker 1 (01:07:52):
But that's why we rewriting history with showing that there
should never be no limit on what you do based
off of how you do.

Speaker 3 (01:08:00):
Yeah, I mean you're still I mean you were, by
the way, For people who don't know, the reason why
you weren't at the pop out was because you were
in Canada with DJ Quick.

Speaker 1 (01:08:07):
You guys had a quick Warren g Yeah, dog Pound.
We went over there to put the West you know
what I'm saying, put the flag back up. Somebody had
to go over there and do it, you know what
I'm saying.

Speaker 3 (01:08:16):
What was it like watching that moment though in Canada?
Being like fuck.

Speaker 1 (01:08:19):
How about we in my dressing room, all of us
before I get on stage, and we got it on
YouTube and we rocking to that motherfucker, seeing everybody he
bringing on stage, watching how young k Dot takes his leadership,
roll into you know, the next level, having E forty's
voice come through the fucking speakers before he hit the stage,
just seeing the how the level of how everybody was performing.

(01:08:41):
Then when he came out, that shit was like here
facts and that's what the fuck is supposed to be.

Speaker 3 (01:08:47):
I love it, man, the Missionary movie. I watched it.
It's like you guys, by the way, for people who
don't know, there's like a twelve minute movie that you
guys dropped.

Speaker 2 (01:08:55):
Yep.

Speaker 3 (01:08:55):
And if you love Dexter, which I do, did you
watch Dexter fucking love?

Speaker 2 (01:09:00):
So I'm mad that shit discontinued.

Speaker 3 (01:09:01):
No, no, they did, you see they they they dropped.
First of all, they dropped a new Dexter like two
years ago. He survives, and then his son, you know,
his son, remember his little boy. His son's grown. So
he finds his son, his son kills him. A well,
I can't, oh, come on now, anyway, you know, I
love that there's a Dexter prequel that comes out, so well.

Speaker 2 (01:09:24):
I hope I did enough of my acting in this.

Speaker 3 (01:09:27):
Have this fucking hilarious twelve minute mini movie where you,
oh it was bro. We were driving over here watching
it and like we laughed out loud like three times.
You had the one liners like when you get a
doctor dre You're like, you know, I don't like that shit,
but you guys are like in this fucking movie, like, uh,
I guess would you say mercy killing killing bad people?

Speaker 2 (01:09:48):
We hit men that make hits, hit men.

Speaker 3 (01:09:50):
That make hits. It was a nice metaphor, but it
was very Dexter.

Speaker 1 (01:09:53):
Like, yeah, because we take care of the bad guys,
so to speak. You know, as kids, we always watched
the Spider Man, Superman fight crime and.

Speaker 3 (01:10:04):
Like y'all smoke a fucking pedophile like off the rip.

Speaker 2 (01:10:07):
Yees see, we fight crime in a different way, you know,
we do things that the Lord don't do.

Speaker 3 (01:10:12):
How fun was that? And like who who? Like you
had some one liners in there that were fucking hilarious,
Like you just over here smoking and shit and you're like,
I'm trying to fix it. Spell.

Speaker 1 (01:10:22):
Well, that's about when me and Dre get together and
we find a great director like Dave Myers who really
understands us.

Speaker 2 (01:10:28):
Well.

Speaker 3 (01:10:28):
That was Dave Meyers director. She's like one of the
greatest video directors. It felt like some shit like when
I was like, it felt like some guilty, conscious shit planning.

Speaker 1 (01:10:35):
So when we all get together, we don't have no
problem with being funny and being hard at the same
time because we know what people love from us. Like
me and Dre always know that people love us when
we make records together and we rap back and forth.
But when we ever in something cinematically, they love when
we had odds, they loved.

Speaker 2 (01:10:54):
When like when we did the wash, the wash was
so good.

Speaker 1 (01:10:56):
Come on one nigga, like just that the banter between
me and him, I'm like this person that person.

Speaker 2 (01:11:02):
But we always love each other.

Speaker 1 (01:11:04):
But we always have arguments, misunderstandings and disagreements that are funny.

Speaker 2 (01:11:10):
They're never too serious. It's like, man, they don't really
like each other. Be like, oh, that shit was funny
as a motherfucker.

Speaker 3 (01:11:15):
And then at the end the dude with the eminem
Jordan's and then fifty cent shit, You're like, You're like, yes,
those are four thousand dollars, forty dollars take that and
then and then it ends with fifty cents drops.

Speaker 1 (01:11:26):
Great Doctor Dred bad motherfuck ain'ty did he write that
Doctor Dred is a bad motherfucker?

Speaker 2 (01:11:30):
Man, I'm trying to tell y'all.

Speaker 1 (01:11:31):
Man, he when it comes to him and Snoop Dogg,
he always make me look the best.

Speaker 2 (01:11:39):
He make me sound the best.

Speaker 1 (01:11:41):
Like it looked like all the lines and all this
shits look like, man that Nigga snooped up.

Speaker 2 (01:11:44):
But this is his mind knowing this is what you're
supposed to see.

Speaker 1 (01:11:48):
You gotta write a movie for y'all. Thank you say
it loud please. I told him that. I called him
last night because he was like, we do if we
do a movie, we need uh to get acting coaches
for And I'm like, Nigga, I don't need no motherfucking
acting coach.

Speaker 2 (01:12:02):
Nigga, I'm in the game.

Speaker 3 (01:12:03):
You just got to play yourself.

Speaker 2 (01:12:04):
Stupid No.

Speaker 1 (01:12:05):
But then he was like he this how dope he is.
We do need acting coaching because these are going to
be roles that no one has ever thought of. Oh
so he thinks like that, he ain't thinking about like
what you see right now. On that twelve minute movie.
We wouldn't even extend that. We would go somewhere else.

Speaker 3 (01:12:22):
When's the last time you watched Bones.

Speaker 2 (01:12:24):
Jimmy, motherfucking Bone. I had that show on VHS about
three years ago. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:12:31):
I just wonder because like that was like your first time,
and I'm not gonna lie it wasn't a great movie.

Speaker 2 (01:12:37):
To me, it was. Let me tell you why it
was great.

Speaker 3 (01:12:39):
It's like it was like a hood classic.

Speaker 2 (01:12:40):
Let me tell you why it was great.

Speaker 1 (01:12:42):
I got to act with Pam Grigg huh oh yeah
for three months in Canada, and then I got to
work with Ricky Harris. So the cast, Clifton Pile. Yeah,
the cast helped me to become a better actor. Like
everything is steps and stages.

Speaker 3 (01:12:58):
Like it Bones was before Baby Boy, right, Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:13:01):
So when you're challenge with working with great actors and
a great cinematographer. Ernest Dickerson directed that movie. Who did Juice,
did all the Spike Lee shit. He was a cinematographer.
So working with those quality of people helped me to
take my shit serious because before that I was just
playing snoop. Though I would just go do a regular

(01:13:22):
role and just do some basic shit. After that, my
roles began to take on like more depth, and I
got serious about learning my lines and doing characters that
were not me that was so distant from me that
you would believe that I was actually that Personalso, I.

Speaker 3 (01:13:36):
Mean, yeah, you're like one of the all time movie assholes.
And baby Boy for sure.

Speaker 2 (01:13:40):
No right would you let me watch your kids.

Speaker 3 (01:13:44):
If it's the Snooping Underdogs? Sure, I don't know about baby.

Speaker 2 (01:13:48):
The underdog Snoop and the baby boy Snoop.

Speaker 3 (01:13:50):
It's like if the baby boy Snoop evolved, grew up
and like got a shit together.

Speaker 2 (01:13:53):
Yeah that's what he is.

Speaker 1 (01:13:56):
He didn't move out of Event's house and now coaching
little league football talking shit for sure.

Speaker 3 (01:14:00):
Man, Well look, I appreciate you for sitting down with me. Man,
Yo album is dope. Can't wait to see what else
you got up to sleeve, Snoop. This is my bucket
list interview. I've always said the one interview, Snoop, so.

Speaker 2 (01:14:15):
Stretch that off your bucket list, bootleg kids.

Speaker 3 (01:14:17):
I hope it's not the last one.

Speaker 1 (01:14:18):
Matte say no bootleg interview either. It's a real motherfucking interview.

Speaker 3 (01:14:22):
Five hundred episode.

Speaker 2 (01:14:24):
That's why I say it ain't bootleg, it's real, My
guy Snoop Dogg.

Speaker 3 (01:14:27):
