Speaker 4: Working hard and hardly working? Happy to be back in
Speaker 4: the big apple Man.
Speaker 5: You know what I was thinking of other day, I said, Man,
Speaker 5: when Snoop looks in the mirror, now who's ThEC more
Speaker 5: Snooper Calvin.
Speaker 4: I think I see h a grandfather because like the
Speaker 4: things that I deal with now is like I deal
Speaker 4: with grandkids. I deal with kids. It's like a perspective
Speaker 4: that I have as far as like wisdom. Now that's
Speaker 4: the part that really be throwing me off because I
Speaker 4: used to be like I don't want to teach you,
Speaker 4: to educate you, but now it's like I love doing it.
Speaker 4: It's like it's wisdom. When you get older, you get wise.
Speaker 4: When I realized that being a grandfather is like a
Speaker 4: treat because I remember how great my grandfather was to me.
Speaker 2: Your life changes a lot.
Speaker 4: Though.
Speaker 1: I seen your wife and big boy, and she was like,
Speaker 1: Snoop's not allowed to smoke upstairs anymore because that's what
Speaker 1: the grandkids are.
Speaker 2: So yeah, life is changed a lot. So talk about
Speaker 2: that a little bit.
Speaker 4: Well, adjustments, you know, as you get older, you get
Speaker 4: wise when you got to make adjustments for the situation
Speaker 4: that you're in. I got a strong ass wife, you
Speaker 4: know what I'm saying, Like she really been holding down
Speaker 4: for the longest and when she say certain things, I
Speaker 4: don't even go against it. And it was best for
Speaker 4: the family. It wasn't necessary. And I just love the
Speaker 4: fact that I'm able to grow in front everybody's eyes,
Speaker 4: to be able to look back and say, well, I
Speaker 4: remember when you was nineteen and twenty and you was
Speaker 4: this and that and now you're this, Just to show
Speaker 4: an example of you can do the right thing if
Speaker 4: you put your mind to doing the right thing.
Speaker 3: Grips can get old too.
Speaker 5: Hey, man, now I see way and say that grandkids
Speaker 5: teach you how you should have loved your kids.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I say that too. I say with my grandkids,
Speaker 4: I do a lot of things that I didn't do
Speaker 4: for my kids, and I'm more like softer on them
Speaker 4: because I feel like they're precious. When my kids, I
Speaker 4: was hard on them, and I'm like, man, was I
Speaker 4: wrong or right for that? Because the way I was raised,
Speaker 4: you know, you're supposed to put your kids in positions
Speaker 4: to understand that life is real. You don't want to
Speaker 4: set them up for nothing that's fake. But now when
Speaker 4: it comes to my grandkids, I try to protect them.
Speaker 4: So it was like, it's crazy to have that emotion
Speaker 4: and say, okay with my kids. I was just away
Speaker 4: with my grandkids. I'm I'm not gonna do that same
Speaker 4: thing with them. I'm gonna make sure that I'm able
Speaker 4: to love them and talk to them and not argue
Speaker 4: with them. But me and my grandson, we have had
Speaker 4: a couple of arguments. Or his grandson. He got a
Speaker 4: lot of my DNA and he says what he feels,
Speaker 4: and he feels what he says.
Speaker 2: Now with this album here Snoop, is it a crime?
Speaker 2: Is it a crime?
Speaker 1: I feel like listening to the album, like I don't
Speaker 1: know why, but I feel like you have something to prove,
Speaker 1: like you would have proved to people that you can
Speaker 1: you can rap, and you get busy, like you know,
Speaker 1: listening to this album last time, I'm like, this ain't
Speaker 1: no just fun Snoop album.
Speaker 2: This is I want to show you guys, I can spin.
Speaker 2: I can rap two you.
Speaker 4: Know, I'm a rapper, so we're competitive. So when you're
Speaker 4: not hearing or seeing, then you get to, you know,
Speaker 4: feeling like maybe I need to try one more time
Speaker 4: or get back into what I do. I'm an AMC
Speaker 4: and I love to rap. I love to make music
Speaker 4: and people love my voice and they love when I
Speaker 4: make great records, and when I don't make great records,
Speaker 4: people let me know that as well. So I hear
Speaker 4: all of that, and it makes me say to myself,
Speaker 4: I should treat myself like a musician and not like
Speaker 4: a rapper, because if you're a musician, you can make
Speaker 4: music until you die. But when you're a rapper, they
Speaker 4: try to put a cap on you. So I'm in
Speaker 4: a musician mind state of you know, whatever feels good
Speaker 4: to you must be good for you. And when I
Speaker 4: make music sometimes it's good for you.
Speaker 3: What was missionary to you?
Speaker 4: Missionary was Doctor Drane Snoop Dogg getting together for the
Speaker 4: first time in twenty some years, allowing Doctor Dre to
Speaker 4: produce Snoop Dogg for the first time. And what I
Speaker 4: mean by produce, I mean by producing, like say first
Speaker 4: and I was an R and B singer, and they'll
Speaker 4: present an R and B singer a song and say
Speaker 4: I need you to sing this song exactly like that.
Speaker 4: That's what missionary was. Songs being presented, spirits of Doctor
Speaker 4: Dre driving and leading and producing Snoop Dogg for what
Speaker 4: he thought was best for him at the time. The
Speaker 4: first record is that we did together. He was a producer,
Speaker 4: I was a rapper. I would spit motion feel. He
Speaker 4: would take that and create it and make it into
Speaker 4: what it was. This was the first time that I
Speaker 4: was not writing my own material, allowing them to take
Speaker 4: the lead, because I believe in doctor Dream, when he drives,
Speaker 4: I sit in the passenger seat, and that was a
Speaker 4: project that he drove. So I got back into my
Speaker 4: seat and let him drive.
Speaker 5: Do you think, y'all y'all created an impossible an impossible
Speaker 5: bar for yourselves with the Chronic with Doggy Style, with
Speaker 5: two thousand, Absolutely, I don't.
Speaker 4: Think it's an impossible bar. I just think it's the times.
Speaker 4: You gotta understand. When those records came out, rap wasn't popular,
Speaker 4: so he wasn't fighting against four hundred rappers that was
Speaker 4: coming out with an album every day. And the sound
Speaker 4: that we had was original and it was unique, and
Speaker 4: it wasn't no mimicking of duplicating, So you had a
Speaker 4: chance to understand what real music sounded like. There's a
Speaker 4: cloud right now where it's a lot of music that
Speaker 4: sounds alike, a lot of artists that sounded alike. When
Speaker 4: I came up. It wasn't two rappers that sound They're like,
Speaker 4: I can name five that sounded like right now, and
Speaker 4: you can too. Absolutely, it's not a bad thing. It's
Speaker 4: just you was able to clearly see and hear what
Speaker 4: was great right now you have to fight through so
Speaker 4: much to find out what's great. So to me, missionary
Speaker 4: is great when you catch up to it. If you
Speaker 4: don't catch up to it, then it ain't meant for you.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's interesting because when I hear it's the crime,
Speaker 5: immediate slaps hard like from the time you put it
Speaker 5: on the immediate slaps. Missionary is definitely one of the
Speaker 5: ones that I think musically, over time people will row
Speaker 5: to appreciate it.
Speaker 4: Yeah. I think it's like, say, for instance, with an
Speaker 4: orchestra and then is it a crime? Is like in
Speaker 4: the hood, you know. But I can do them both.
Speaker 4: We can do them both because you got to look
Speaker 4: at our careers like we've actually done enough to when
Speaker 4: we don't have to do anymore. Because it's like when
Speaker 4: you do, they're gonna always judge or compare it to
Speaker 4: that bar the Chronic Doggi style Chronic two thousand and one.
Speaker 4: That's a bar that's kind of reachable. But I don't
Speaker 4: make records to try to outdo what I did. I
Speaker 4: make records for the moment.
Speaker 1: People forget how much respect that you have for b
Speaker 1: ig Right, listen to this album and I see you
Speaker 1: taking clips and bits of here, and it makes me realize,
Speaker 1: like Damn, Snoop really respected that man's craft and really
Speaker 1: loved him as an artist.
Speaker 4: But if you knew when he was alive he respected my.
Speaker 3: Craft, I'm sitting in the.
Speaker 2: How to sell records like Snoop Oops.
Speaker 4: So it's it's mutual, like there's now, it's nothing wrong
Speaker 4: with showing love, but back then it was frowned upon
Speaker 4: if I said I got love for him and he
Speaker 4: got love for me, but we didn't care. We both
Speaker 4: went on a limb and allowed people to know that
Speaker 4: I got love for this man. And I have no
Speaker 4: problem with saying that, standing on that. It is who
Speaker 4: I am, and I'm glad that I was able to
Speaker 4: do that. So it's documented this testimony. It is what
Speaker 4: it is. You can't fix that, and you can't change that.
Speaker 5: I mean, you're still the bar for a lot of
Speaker 5: rappers now, but back then you definitely had to be
Speaker 5: the ball because you sold what eight hundred thousand records
Speaker 5: in your first week, like that was the most records
Speaker 5: of debut artist had ever sold period in music.
Speaker 4: Were doing that, Remember that was a physical day. That's
Speaker 4: where you have to go to the store by Yeah,
Speaker 4: was no cloud. It was like stand in line, go
Speaker 4: get it, open it up, touch it, feel it, pass
Speaker 4: it to the home girl, let them hear it. Give
Speaker 4: me my thing back like all of that now, it
Speaker 4: was just it's in the cloud.
Speaker 5: And you did that for two weeks in a row, right,
Speaker 5: But when you back then you saw eight hundred thousand
Speaker 5: one week and eight thousand the very next week or something.
Speaker 4: They told me that record did a whole lot, and
Speaker 4: then I don't even check on it. Right, So now
Speaker 4: that I got Death Row Records as the owner of
Speaker 4: the label, I get numbers now. So they telling me
Speaker 4: that Doggie Style was getting close to ten million sold
Speaker 4: over world, awhile, and I thought it just was gonna
Speaker 4: be all right. We did four million week good. I'm like,
Speaker 4: I didn't understand that it's gonna keep selling and selling them.
Speaker 4: When I do this, it makes it. When I did
Speaker 4: the super Bowl, it sold more when I'm doing this,
Speaker 4: So It's like those records that are time. If you
Speaker 4: own those records, they'll continue to make money, especially when
Speaker 4: you got TikTok and all these other little platforms. But
Speaker 4: kids will take a record that's old to you, but
Speaker 4: it's new to them, and they'll bring it to life.
Speaker 6: Me and on g Snoop with Sexy.
Speaker 4: I knew he was gonna go to that. I just
Speaker 4: knew you was gonna go to that particular recogg just
Speaker 4: get everything alway.
Speaker 6: Man, I want look, but I love it though I
Speaker 6: love it, I love it. But you know, that's what
Speaker 6: I wanted to know.
Speaker 7: How did that come about? Like the how was the
Speaker 7: vibe in the studio with Sexy?
Speaker 4: Now? Look, Sexy Red is the homegirl. I love her
Speaker 4: to death. Now how we got together was she was
Speaker 4: coming to LA and needed a studio and my studio
Speaker 4: was close proxentity. The Lax offered her to use the
Speaker 4: studio when she come over. You know, my family, we
Speaker 4: don't do nothing but hospitably make you feel at home.
Speaker 4: It smells good. We got blankets, fool, we got game room,
Speaker 4: so we just give you know, the blue carpet treatment.
Speaker 4: And she just loving every minute of it. So I'm like, real,
Speaker 4: let's go in the studio. We're in the studio and
Speaker 4: we just talking and she asking me questions about my career,
Speaker 4: like you know you tight, how you be doing this?
Speaker 4: And that we get past that. I'm like, what's up
Speaker 4: with a record? She like, you want to do one?
Speaker 4: I'm like, hell yeah, put on the track. She ain't
Speaker 4: feeling it. I'm like, damn, So I gotta call all
Speaker 4: my homies and make the kind of music that she like.
Speaker 4: So one of the homies sent some beats she listening.
Speaker 4: When she hear the beats she likes, she grab her
Speaker 4: phone and she kicked them first bars off and then
Speaker 4: she said, I'm like, oh, she really get at she
Speaker 4: going to booth. She spit it. I sped minds. We
Speaker 4: listened to it and we vibing, and then she come
Speaker 4: back to the studio like a week straight, and we
Speaker 4: just bonding like uncle and niece. It's just a relationship
Speaker 4: that we building. And I don't know why. I always
Speaker 4: find the artists when they at this point and I'm
Speaker 4: a part of their life, and then when they get
Speaker 4: all the way up there, it's like we've already bonded.
Speaker 4: That's what I feel like. She like my little sister.
Speaker 4: I love her. I love how she get down, how
Speaker 4: she just she just reminds me of me, Like she
Speaker 4: just don't give a fuck. She just bang and she's approachable,
Speaker 4: she's lovable, and our music is this ship. So it
Speaker 4: was one of those things where it was a moment
Speaker 4: that we captured just because I was being hospitable to
Speaker 4: let her use the studio, and then the record came
Speaker 4: about because we just naturally connected with My spirit is open.
Speaker 4: I've always been like that. I don't frown upon the
Speaker 4: new MC's, the new girls. I like, I open up
Speaker 4: to everybody. If I don't like your thing, you never
Speaker 4: know it publicly.
Speaker 1: Does anybody charge Snoop to be on their record anymore?
Speaker 1: Or is it one of those things that's uncle, were
Speaker 1: not charging uncle.
Speaker 4: It's like it's a love thing with me, like they
Speaker 4: already know. Sometimes like if you got a lot of money,
Speaker 4: then I may want a little.
Speaker 3: Bit, but I got a budget.
Speaker 4: If you want them artists, that's like you know you're
Speaker 4: putting it on yourself. You're independent. Like l Russell, for example, from.
Speaker 3: The Banks Can't Wait.
Speaker 4: We got a record with me and I got a
Speaker 4: record on his album No paperwork, no money, that's my nephew,
Speaker 4: Like it'd be like that sometimes, like you're supposed to
Speaker 4: just do that because if you love what you do,
Speaker 4: it ain't always about financial. Sometimes about bonding it and
Speaker 4: showing love.
Speaker 3: On West up, you say, why should I retire?
Speaker 4: Why the funk should I retire? Home? Yes?
Speaker 3: Do you feel like some type of renaissance, right, don't you?
Speaker 4: Yes?
Speaker 3: Yeah? I mean I feel like to me, the West
Speaker 3: ain't never left, but I've always been a president. Are
Speaker 3: you kidding?
Speaker 4: Coast records on radio at one time, and trust me,
Speaker 4: it's it's just Kendrick No. But that's just the point.
Speaker 4: When Dre Snoop Tupac all of us was in our heyday,
Speaker 4: it wasn't spending like that. Because it's still with some
Speaker 4: hesitation on. We ain't fucking with them, We ain't playing
Speaker 4: that ship. Them niggas ain't here, We ain't playing it.
Speaker 4: Like y'all know the rule, when they leave, turn that
Speaker 4: ship off. Now it's like it stays on. So I'm like,
Speaker 4: I can't believe they actually really planning. This is what
Speaker 4: what I really love about New York radio. When y'all
Speaker 4: started opening up to the South, I don't really care
Speaker 4: about us because we was gonna make ours. When y'all
Speaker 4: open up to the South, that made me know that
Speaker 4: the hip hop game was expanding because y'all used to
Speaker 4: shit on them bad, bad and we they cousins, so
Speaker 4: we used to feel it the second half of it.
Speaker 4: So when y'all allowed them to come in and get
Speaker 4: their expression off, that's when I was like, it's some
Speaker 4: great things happening in New York because it gives the
Speaker 4: game a chance to expand and not be trapped. Now
Speaker 4: look at what hip hop is now.
Speaker 5: But also New York ain't had no choice because New
Speaker 5: York started to do this and everybody else started to
Speaker 5: do that.
Speaker 2: They we was forced a little bit.
Speaker 1: But you know, I think New York was so influenced
Speaker 1: by the South, like a lot of the artists started
Speaker 1: sounding like Southern artists.
Speaker 2: But I'm with you.
Speaker 1: I think I just think it's just dope that people
Speaker 1: get their feelings out and their expressions out and we
Speaker 1: could ride to regardless.
Speaker 5: So even at the peak in the nineties, right, I
Speaker 5: don't eve want to call it the peak because you'all
Speaker 5: y'all been going for a long time. But when you
Speaker 5: know it was the Chronics and the Dog these thousand
Speaker 5: pop was out. This great moment right now feels like getting.
Speaker 4: That no oh, because we had a bunch of us
Speaker 4: right now. It's like ky Dots standing up top. At
Speaker 4: that time, we was all on the mountaintop like you
Speaker 4: got Cube body show dog Pounds. It just was just
Speaker 4: the West Coast, every heavyweights. Right now, Kendrick is the heavyweight.
Speaker 4: So it's like, that's why I'm coming back so I
Speaker 4: can get his back, to let him know that the
Speaker 4: O G stand would him and got his back. You
Speaker 4: understand I'm saying, that's what we do as musicians. We
Speaker 4: put our flags down and we let people know that
Speaker 4: we do make great music representing our coasts. But it's
Speaker 4: not a coastal thing because we make music for everybody.
Speaker 3: Did y'all ever talk after he dropped whacked out murrors?
Speaker 3: For what I mean, just to have a conversation.
Speaker 4: What's to talk about? That's my little home. He spoke
Speaker 4: his mind. He said what he said, and like I
Speaker 4: said earlier, like as an older guy, sometimes we don't
Speaker 4: have radar on what we're doing. Just so y'all can
Speaker 4: know the scenario or what happened. It was a repost
Speaker 4: from Jen and Juice that who Kids sent me who Kid,
Speaker 4: but it had that song in it. I don't even
Speaker 4: know what the fuck the song was. I just reposted
Speaker 4: on my shit because it's my brand. Then when I
Speaker 4: get wind of it, naturally I reach out to nephew
Speaker 4: let him know my bad. I didn't mean that, and
Speaker 4: naturally he responded to what he responded, Well, we family
Speaker 4: like you can't have a spat or misunderstanding what your brother,
Speaker 4: your cousin. That's how it's supposed to be. It ain't
Speaker 4: supposed to get no bigger than that. It's supposed to
Speaker 4: be understood. What's understood don't need to be explained. See,
Speaker 4: a big dog can get checked if it's a boy,
Speaker 4: the right person, if he got the right intellect. It's
Speaker 4: nothing wrong with being properly put in place. If you
Speaker 4: out of place, that's what's wrong with half of us
Speaker 4: that we feel like the young generation can't tell us nothing.
Speaker 4: You used to be young too, and you had a
Speaker 4: mind and you had a spirit. And sometimes the young
Speaker 4: generation can't teach the old dog a new trick if
Speaker 4: he willing to listen.
Speaker 1: Now, you're also on the album you talk about warrang
Speaker 1: g catalog that you have in some new music. They dog,
Speaker 1: I said the orange and they dog. So talk about that.
Speaker 1: So you have how many neat folk songs do you
Speaker 1: have and how many are coming out? What's the plan
Speaker 1: for that? Because you say it on the album what
Speaker 1: I say? I remember the exact line. But you talk
Speaker 1: about Nate Dogs having some nakedog music.
Speaker 4: That's said, I got Nate dog catalog in the pipeline. Pipeline.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Warren G told you to get what's mine I
Speaker 3: the pipeline.
Speaker 4: So basically what that is, it's more about lining up
Speaker 4: business for us to be able to own our thing.
Speaker 4: Nate Dogg's a state is with his family, warning Jesus
Speaker 4: with his mind's is with mine. It's just a line
Speaker 4: of ownership. You understand what I'm saying, teaching ownership through lyrics,
Speaker 4: because a lot of us make records, get our pup
Speaker 4: chin up, and then we sell it and then we
Speaker 4: think we did a good thing. And when you sell that, Okay,
Speaker 4: if you get one hundred million, what state you live in? Okay,
Speaker 4: knock off some taxes for that. Okay, how many family
Speaker 4: members you got? How many people in your family not working? Okay,
Speaker 4: half that's gone when you could have been having a
Speaker 4: pipeline forever, forever and ever and ever that your family
Speaker 4: can eat off of forever. Snoop dogg ain't sold this publishing.
Speaker 4: Snoop dogg own his label. So it's teaching a lot
Speaker 4: of people selling their things. But what does that lead
Speaker 4: for the generation after?
Speaker 2: You?
Speaker 4: Like, think about the families that have those names, where
Speaker 4: their family members are still eating by more ale. You
Speaker 4: can go to the Hiltons, you can go to the
Speaker 4: the Crafts, you can just big, bigger names Rockefellerton, yes, yes,
Speaker 4: where it's like they don't even know their great grandfather
Speaker 4: and they eating like it's supposed to be some of
Speaker 4: that because we put all this work in. Now, as
Speaker 4: an owner, it's my job to make sure that I
Speaker 4: teach and that I have and I can show how
Speaker 4: to lead generational wealth.
Speaker 5: You know that's that song is called Sophisticated Cribbon. And
Speaker 5: you do say Warren G said, gets what get? Warren
Speaker 5: G said, gets what get? What's mine? What does Warren
Speaker 5: G mean to you?
Speaker 4: Warreng G Probably the best friend that I got that
Speaker 4: only me and him understand each other. Like the passion
Speaker 4: that Warren g has for me and had for me
Speaker 4: as an artist. In the beginning, it's like Don King,
Speaker 4: like a promoter who promotes a fighter, like believing in
Speaker 4: Snoop before anybody else and then seeing Snoop do what
Speaker 4: he does and still having that believability, and watching our
Speaker 4: friendship growing to like grown men and fathers and losing
Speaker 4: people in our lives. You know, when he lost his mom,
Speaker 4: I didn't understand what I was there for him. Then
Speaker 4: when I lost my mom, I didn't understand he was
Speaker 4: there for me. There's been certain situations where we have
Speaker 4: become super close behind tragedy, him behind love, and then
Speaker 4: at the same time, you got to look at this
Speaker 4: music industry. This music industry is trifling. It's crazy. You
Speaker 4: think about how he brought me to death Row, but
Speaker 4: death Row didn't sign him.
Speaker 3: That's crazy.
Speaker 4: So there's a lot of animosity and frustration and anger
Speaker 4: in him off of that, not at me, but at
Speaker 4: the situation at home and as an artist, if you're
Speaker 4: pushing for me, you want for me to do this,
Speaker 4: but as an artist, I'm feeling fucked up because they
Speaker 4: left my homeboy. So it's like these are things that
Speaker 4: we never had a chance to like fully get an
Speaker 4: understanding on because it's pain. It's like the pain I
Speaker 4: had to deal with when I went through whatever I
Speaker 4: went through. Sometimes it's me and we know how to
Speaker 4: express that. But as a friend, we always there for
Speaker 4: each other. So if I can make that as the point,
Speaker 4: our relationship is like that, where it's more getting into
Speaker 4: life rather than music and fun.
Speaker 3: Because I saw something recently.
Speaker 5: He was doing an interview and he said he felt
Speaker 5: snubbed during the super Bowl performance. But then he also
Speaker 5: said I just wanted to be there while they was
Speaker 5: making missionary. He was like, I don't want no money
Speaker 5: and nothing like that. I just wanted to kick it
Speaker 5: with my people.
Speaker 4: Well, you know how it is when you're in the
Speaker 4: studio sometimes. But here's what I want to say. His
Speaker 4: relationship with doctor Dre is his relationship. His relationship with
Speaker 4: me is our relationship. When I'm working with doctor Dre,
Speaker 4: I don't bring nobody with me. I bring myself because
Speaker 4: I'm not responsible for nobody with me. Now, if doctor
Speaker 4: Dre wants people to come, that's his job to say
Speaker 4: I need this person that person. I've always been that way.
Speaker 4: When it's time for me to do a job. I
Speaker 4: don't like bringing ship to the job, but I'm gonna
Speaker 4: be accountable for. All I could be accountable for is me.
Speaker 4: So when I come to work, I show up by myself.
Speaker 4: I work with for real, by myself, doctor dre by myself.
Speaker 4: Certain motherfuckers. I don't bring that with me because I
Speaker 4: don't know what you're gonna do or how you're gonna act.
Speaker 4: So when I'm going to work, when you go to work,
Speaker 4: who you bring with you?
Speaker 3: My brother?
Speaker 4: Who you come to work with?
Speaker 2: Myself?
Speaker 3: God?
Speaker 4: See what I'm saying. So imagine you gotta go. I'm
Speaker 4: finna go to work right now, y'all, come on, get done?
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know I want to ask, you know, as
Speaker 1: a OG. You know, back then, dealing with the press
Speaker 1: and public was easier, right it was magazines, chine eleven.
Speaker 2: News is gone. But now you got social media.
Speaker 1: So when you look at all the stuff that you do,
Speaker 1: you know, whether it's the football league that got so
Speaker 1: many kids in the NFL and the give backs and
Speaker 1: all the things that we can go on and on
Speaker 1: and on, and then you hear people's opinions on when
Speaker 1: you did the crypto ball?
Speaker 2: Does that bother you?
Speaker 4: Na? I call it thirty for thirty. Let me explain
Speaker 4: that to you. I DJed at the Crypto ball for
Speaker 4: what thirty minutes, laid a whole bunch of money, made
Speaker 4: a lot of relationships to help out the inner city
Speaker 4: in the community and teach financial literacy and crypto in
Speaker 4: the space that it don't exist. That's thirty minutes, thirty years.
Speaker 4: Snoop Dogg been doing great things for the community, building
Speaker 4: showing up, standing up for the people, making it happen,
Speaker 4: being all I can be. So which one is it
Speaker 4: thirty for thirty thirty minutes or thirty years? Oh? Is
Speaker 4: it a crin nop?
Speaker 3: I hate that man.
Speaker 4: I I love how my people defended me, but I
Speaker 4: didn't get y'all no ammunition, meaning that I never said nothing.
Speaker 4: So it was kind of becoming like, damn, I y'all
Speaker 4: keep riding on dog in it and I ain't gonna
Speaker 4: have that. Y'all can't. But damn, he ain't said nothing.
Speaker 4: So it's like I can't fight for another man. It
Speaker 4: ain't gonna fight for himself. So tomorrow is it a crime?
Speaker 4: I'm fighting?
Speaker 5: And then they kept taking the video saying, well he
Speaker 5: said this about Trump back then but then he DJ.
Speaker 3: It's not you didn't endorse nobody, you DJ the party.
Speaker 4: But those are bots, And then it's entertainers who's getting
Speaker 4: behind it and trying to make something out of it,
Speaker 4: which to me is like most of those guys, they
Speaker 4: live off of the Internet and live off of that energy.
Speaker 4: The things that I do, even if I would have
Speaker 4: done it for him and hung out with him and
Speaker 4: took a picture with him, can't None of you motherfuckers
Speaker 4: tell me what I can and can't do. But I'm
Speaker 4: not a politician. I don't represent the Republican Party. I
Speaker 4: don't represent the Democratic Party. I represent the motherfucking gangster party, period,
Speaker 4: point blank, and g shit, don't explain shit. So that's
Speaker 4: why I didn't explain. That's why I didn't go into
Speaker 4: detail when motherfuckers was trying to counsel me and say
Speaker 4: he is sellout. Even on my Instagram page after that,
Speaker 4: I would post shit and I'll see motherfuckers like, oh
Speaker 4: he'll sell out. You know what I would do, jump
Speaker 4: right in they motherfucking den with a video. You bitch
Speaker 4: ass snoogle sat nigga, dog nigga, what you want to do?
Speaker 4: I guess what they would do, Oh, man, I'm just
Speaker 4: a fan. Man I didn't really, I'm sorry, man, Snoop,
Speaker 4: I just year a nigga. Got me fucked up, Nigga,
Speaker 4: I jump all off in your shit. Nigga, talk to
Speaker 4: you face to face. Don't hit me on No, He'll
Speaker 4: sell out on Instagram and this and that, because I'm
Speaker 4: really engaging like that. You know what I'm saying that
Speaker 4: my work should speak for me, like don't take my
Speaker 4: personal on my business and try to involve it in
Speaker 4: my life. On who I am as a person. The
Speaker 4: things that I do in real life ship matter to
Speaker 4: you more. You understand, I'm saying, not what I do
Speaker 4: when I'm DJing or making music or doing this and that.
Speaker 4: What is he like as a real person when you
Speaker 4: walk up on Snoop Dogg? What is his energy? What
Speaker 4: is his aura? What is that that you get for me?
Speaker 5: People were saying that that was Trump cashing in a
Speaker 5: favor because harry O got pardoned, and you were instrumental
Speaker 5: in harry O getting pardoned. And I mean, I don't
Speaker 5: know if that's true, but that's what the Internet room was.
Speaker 4: The Internet loved sparking things, but Trump did get Harry
Speaker 4: oo out. That is a fact. That is a fact.
Speaker 4: And I performed at the Crypto Ball for David Sachs,
Speaker 4: who's been a friend of mine for fifteen years, who
Speaker 4: was head of the crypto currency situation, that was put
Speaker 4: into that position. So it was more or less a
Speaker 4: relationship that I had with Charlemagne, and Charlemagne was put
Speaker 4: in the office by the president. But Charlemagne has been
Speaker 4: my friend for fifteen years, and me and Charlemagne been
Speaker 4: getting money together, and we working this crypto thing that
Speaker 4: nobody know about. And then Charlemagne say, dog, I got
Speaker 4: this crypto player that's gonna bring some money back to
Speaker 4: the hood. Cool. I'm with you, you helping the hood out,
Speaker 4: not knowing that the hood gonna talk like, what does
Speaker 4: that part work when I'm trying to help y'all? But
Speaker 4: y'all talk. And that's why a lot of times when
Speaker 4: people make it, they don't come back.
Speaker 3: Dang reason.
Speaker 4: That's the truth, y'all.
Speaker 7: Love, you got so many business ventures you'll like limitless, right,
Speaker 7: How the how what made you say like I want
Speaker 7: a hockey team.
Speaker 6: I want to own a hockey team.
Speaker 4: It's different, just you got to think out of the box.
Speaker 4: They ain't gonna let us own no football team on
Speaker 4: no basketball team. So I got to go in an
Speaker 4: area where I could possibly actually own a lot of it.
Speaker 4: You know, the people that own teams in those worlds
Speaker 4: that I just said, they don't own fifty percent of them.
Speaker 4: They own pieces, little small increments. I'm trying to get
Speaker 4: sixty seventy percent, so that way, it's really an ownership,
Speaker 4: you know what I'm saying. That's and I looked at
Speaker 4: that sport as Wow, that's a great sport that nobody's
Speaker 4: paying attention to that has not been brought to that level.
Speaker 4: There's no star power there yet. I've always thought about
Speaker 4: businesses and places that haven't been affected yet. I don't
Speaker 4: want to be in a lane where it's already working.
Speaker 4: We want to go somewhere where it ain't working so
Speaker 4: we can create a whole new avenue.
Speaker 2: Do you understand hockey?
Speaker 4: Do you watch hockey or yeah, I'd have been born
Speaker 4: of hockey for like thirteen fourteen years. Like going to
Speaker 4: games they call, they have me calling the games, like
Speaker 4: in La the whole thing at the King's game.
Speaker 2: Well, are you surprised of how far.
Speaker 1: This kid from California went like, it's almost like you
Speaker 1: know you are family, so we look at you his own.
Speaker 1: But when I seen you hosting the Olympics, Yo, I'm like,
Speaker 1: this is amazing. Like this, you know, when you're talking
Speaker 1: about sports that I've never seen before heard, So how
Speaker 1: is that.
Speaker 4: Experience so dream come true? I'm just living my life, man.
Speaker 4: My mother put the spirit in me. She put the
Speaker 4: spirit in me as a kid to do the best
Speaker 4: things that I can do while I'm on this earth.
Speaker 4: And I understand why I'm here now. I'm mastered loving
Speaker 4: me and loving people. Used to be a time where
Speaker 4: I was trying to figure that out and the moves
Speaker 4: that I made, ruffle finger, ruffle feathers because people was like,
Speaker 4: we supposed to be gangster homie while you're being so
Speaker 4: nice and so cool. But to me, that is gangst
Speaker 4: you know what I'm saying, gangs Thanks pressing nobody, smashing
Speaker 4: on somebody, because we know the results of that. Actually
Speaker 4: just being approachable, lovable and still being respectable.
Speaker 5: What part of your story do you think people misunderstand
Speaker 5: the most and do you even care to correct them?
Speaker 4: Buck, I don't think there's no misunderstanding of my story.
Speaker 4: I think there has been transparency from day one with me.
Speaker 4: I've been an open book. That's why people love Uncle
Speaker 4: Snop because they can touch him. Like when they started
Speaker 4: calling me unc, that shit blew my mind because I
Speaker 4: was still in like my thirties. I'm like, why these
Speaker 4: niggas called me aunt? But I had to understand it.
Speaker 4: Anytime somebody was my uncle, I fucking respected them. If
Speaker 4: I called you UNC, I respected you. Charlie Wilson was
Speaker 4: the first person I called uncle in this industry, Uncle Charlie,
Speaker 4: and I started to feel like, damn, am I becoming him?
Speaker 4: So it was like it was more about respect and
Speaker 4: understanding that when you love yourself, people will love you
Speaker 4: back and be a vessel of information. Don't be discrown
Speaker 4: up because you got done wrong where you didn't get this.
Speaker 4: Show them how to do it, and show them how
Speaker 4: to get it right without running into them same walls
Speaker 4: you did.
Speaker 3: Man, we watched you evolved.
Speaker 5: It feels like we were watching feel like we watched
Speaker 5: you live so many different lives.
Speaker 3: Was there ever a version of you that was hard
Speaker 3: to let go?
Speaker 4: Yeah? I think that that gangster shit was hard to
Speaker 4: let go because I was fooled. I was fooled to
Speaker 4: thinking that it was making me who I was, and
Speaker 4: I was like, there was so much shit happening around it.
Speaker 4: And when I had to make a decision of Okay,
Speaker 4: I can't live like that no more, it was kind
Speaker 4: of hard to let go because it meant that I
Speaker 4: had to let the homies go. I had to let
Speaker 4: the relationships go, because if you're gonna cut ties, you
Speaker 4: gotta cut ties with it all if you want to separate.
Speaker 3: Did they understand it?
Speaker 4: No way, no way, no understanding. But you teach you
Speaker 4: understanding by being an example. Now they fully understand it.
Speaker 4: I got homies now that did twenty some years and
Speaker 4: when they get out, all they want to do is right.
Speaker 4: I got homies that went in as real riders and
Speaker 4: bang bang. When they get out, they want to do
Speaker 4: the right thing. They want to, Oh, how you do it?
Speaker 4: How do we live right? I'm going to school. I
Speaker 4: gotta come ryding getting my education. I'm trying to get
Speaker 4: me a degree like these is real bona fide gang bangers.
Speaker 4: That my example is showing them that they can do something,
Speaker 4: so that that means the world to me.
Speaker 1: You know, on the album you talk about one of
Speaker 1: your biggest regrets was not squashing out things with Pop.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that still sits with you to this day.
Speaker 4: Due because he was really my friend. And you know,
Speaker 4: you guys, sometimes motherfuckers be talking like they don't really know,
Speaker 4: but that was my friend and he was like dear
Speaker 4: to me. And anytime you got a relationship with somebody
Speaker 4: and it's like it's working, it's going good, and then
Speaker 4: y'all get an argument, then the nigga died. MM, Like,
Speaker 4: come on, man, I didn't even get a chance, whether
Speaker 4: I was wrong or right, just to be able to
Speaker 4: get that follow up, because that's how we was. We
Speaker 4: would always follow up or either have some sort of
Speaker 4: you know, connection, And I didn't get that, and then
Speaker 4: there was a lot of turmoil, and then the death
Speaker 4: rowe niggas was hating on me and this, and that's
Speaker 4: kind of like push the spirit in a different way.
Speaker 4: But the beautiful part was his mother was still here
Speaker 4: and I got a chance to hug her and talk
Speaker 4: to her and get, you know what I'm saying, the
Speaker 4: approval from her, which was his spirit because he was
Speaker 4: always connected to her. So that gave me half clarity
Speaker 4: on where I was with him because his mother always
Speaker 4: had love.
Speaker 5: I guess you' speaking about forgiveness, and forgiveness something you
Speaker 5: give easily or something you struggle to offer, even to yourself.
Speaker 4: I'm a liberal, so I forget very easy. But it's
Speaker 4: the time when my forgiveness runs out because I'm so forgiven,
Speaker 4: and it's like, you can't just keep musing me knowing
Speaker 4: that I'm gonna always give you that at a certain
Speaker 4: point in time, I got to put the wall up
Speaker 4: to let you know that I forgave you. It's in
Speaker 4: God's hands.
Speaker 3: Now, how do you even forgive yourself?
Speaker 4: I just live. That's what we're supposed to do. You know.
Speaker 4: I know i'm'na make some mistakes every day, and I
Speaker 4: know I'm gonna get it right every day. It's just
Speaker 4: a matter of how many times I'm gonna make those
Speaker 4: mistakes and how many times I'm gonna get it right.
Speaker 3: Was the record my friend was that hard directe?
Speaker 4: Oh my god, wow. Denaon Porter sent me that record,
Speaker 4: and when he said it to me, he was crying
Speaker 4: on the track. You can hear him crying like before
Speaker 4: he do his hook certain pieces. And it took me
Speaker 4: like six days to even write my first couple of lines,
Speaker 4: and then when I wrote him, I went in the
Speaker 4: booth and I was like, my spirit was like sad.
Speaker 4: I was like, I can't be crying singing this song.
Speaker 4: So then I got my spirit right, put the lyrics down,
Speaker 4: and then I sent it to Dona and he tells me, man,
Speaker 4: I didn't tell you, but I lost my brother too
Speaker 4: after yours, and I'm like, damn, it just was like
Speaker 4: the spirit of both of us losing our brother, me
Speaker 4: writing this lyrics to this song, and then it was
Speaker 4: the point of listening to the song. I swear to
Speaker 4: God man, I cried, like the first twenty times I
Speaker 4: heard this song. I just it was one time I
Speaker 4: was listening to it and my wife was in there
Speaker 4: with me. She just just got behind me like I
Speaker 4: was a little baby and just was holding me and
Speaker 4: just rubbing my back. I'm like, man, this is tough,
Speaker 4: because when you lose people as an artist, like you
Speaker 4: gotta hold it in and be like, yeah, rest in peace.
Speaker 4: But that one was tough. This was my little bro,
Speaker 4: you know what I'm saying. I wanted to be like me,
Speaker 4: had him on the roll with me, moving with me.
Speaker 4: All of the above in this record, it's like when
Speaker 4: I sing it, when I hear it, it just was
Speaker 4: touching an emotion that had never been touched before night
Speaker 4: more than my mother, like even more than my mother.
Speaker 4: And it was like, Okay, I just got past the
Speaker 4: point now where I could listen to it and watch
Speaker 4: it without crying. But if the wrong people in the room,
Speaker 4: I'm gonna cry.
Speaker 3: You think you'd be able to perform it?
Speaker 4: No way, no way. It's that deep. And I never
Speaker 4: thought I would make a song like that that would
Speaker 4: make me cry. You crying, nigga off your own song,
Speaker 4: I'm open like that when you lost a pause you
Speaker 4: know your niggas using.
Speaker 5: When you lost people like that that close to you, Like,
Speaker 5: do you ever feel alone?
Speaker 3: Like because you snoop right, you walk in the room,
Speaker 3: you an icon, people idolize you.
Speaker 5: But when you're in a room full of people, do
Speaker 5: you do you still feel alone because you don't have
Speaker 5: those people that that that was that close to you.
Speaker 4: I think it's just it's certain, you know what music
Speaker 4: sports that certain songs like if these three words come on,
Speaker 4: I'm gone, I'm gone, because it's when the last time
Speaker 4: that they heard him say your other than your brother.
Speaker 4: It's like, why is she Come on, Stevie, you hurting
Speaker 4: me right now? Like that record right there when it
Speaker 4: comes on, I don't care where on an I could
Speaker 4: be in a gang meeting, a real serious gang meeting,
Speaker 4: and they was like, yeah, cook, we finish going to
Speaker 4: mischigan do do hey man, time out man. It's one
Speaker 4: of their records.
Speaker 6: Man. Has anybody ever tried to outsmoke you?
Speaker 4: Yes? And then niggas died, like you know how many
Speaker 4: you know how many people that they tried to outsmoke me.
Speaker 4: It was just one girl that wanted to smoke with
Speaker 4: me and we had like a guitar like right over there.
Speaker 4: So she's smoking with me. All of a sudden she falls,
Speaker 4: damn it her wig and niggas like help her out.
Speaker 4: We're like, no, leave her ass over the niggas. She
Speaker 4: wanted to smoke with the dog like we like, I
Speaker 4: get challenged all the time, and my thing is, you know,

Speaker 4: Yes, I don't like that. I don't like it at all.
Speaker 2: You don't no way, no way.
Speaker 4: That's all I like is you can't be in control
Speaker 4: no more. Take my whole body and just like that.
Speaker 5: That's how I get when I smoked and see the edibles.
Speaker 5: Give me time editles, give me, give me time to
Speaker 5: get goofy.
Speaker 3: You know what I mean.
Speaker 4: Your your metabolism is different than mins when it comes
Speaker 4: in and take Who the hell get you a edible?
Speaker 4: You know what? I ate something and didn't know that
Speaker 4: it was in there. In confused, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 4: People like making ship and Nigga eating dog don't eat that.
Speaker 4: Why oh shit fuck.
Speaker 3: When somebody rich that gave you that?
Speaker 5: Because you know in the futures, like.
Speaker 3: You know, Fat Joe.
Speaker 5: I saw Fat Joe saying because he got the dow
Speaker 5: pole with him and Jadakiss, and he said, Kendrick Lamar
Speaker 5: surpassed you in Tupac is the most dominant rappers of
Speaker 5: the West Coast.
Speaker 3: What are your thoughts?
Speaker 4: He can't say that he's not from the West Coast,
Speaker 4: and that's no disrespect, that's just facts, like you can't
Speaker 4: say that because you're not from the West Coast. You
Speaker 4: would have to ask the West Coast. That's like me
Speaker 4: coming out here saying that jay z ain't the king.
Speaker 4: Whoop whoop whooo. I don't know who run New York.
Speaker 4: This this y'all's, but I do know when it comes
Speaker 4: to the West Coast, everybody riding with Kendrick hands down,
Speaker 4: and it's been that way. So he is the king.
Speaker 4: That is no doubt he is the king. But as
Speaker 4: far as what Fat Joe said, you would have to
Speaker 4: ask the whole West Coast, and the West Coast would
Speaker 4: have to give you because you got certain people from
Speaker 4: the Bay who ride with the Bay. You understand what
Speaker 4: I'm saying. So it's like it's we love what we love,
Speaker 4: but you can't say that if you're not from that.
Speaker 4: I couldn't come out here and say who's the king
Speaker 4: of New York when I don't live here and I
Speaker 4: don't have a personal opinion from the people who actually
Speaker 4: run New.
Speaker 3: York and saying surpassed it. That's a strong, strong world.
Speaker 3: He is Kendrick one in the one. Don't get me wrong.
Speaker 5: But you know y'all have stood the test of time,
Speaker 5: even you know the pocket is immortal.
Speaker 4: We're talking about thirty years of being on top, not
Speaker 4: in the middle or down there. It ain't never been
Speaker 4: a time where I was down there. I've always been
Speaker 4: up to even when my records was not. You think
Speaker 4: about everything I've done from the chronic to now. You
Speaker 4: can go so the dog Father say yeah, that wasn't
Speaker 4: all that, but Snoop still was doing other things. You
Speaker 4: can go to no limit and say it wasn't all that,
Speaker 4: but it was other things happening other than music. So
Speaker 4: it's always been a moment of He's always been here
Speaker 4: and it ain't relying upon music. So until other things
Speaker 4: happen outside of music, then we can't use that word surpass.
Speaker 4: That's just my thing.
Speaker 3: Absolutely.
Speaker 5: What do you hope your grandkids say about you when
Speaker 5: you no longer hear.
Speaker 2: Thanks, thanks for the buildings, the money, destruction.
Speaker 4: All that. Well, you know, my oldest grandson he had
Speaker 4: did an interview when he was like eight years old,
Speaker 4: and they was like, what do you love about your
Speaker 4: grandfather the most? He said, he pays all our business
Speaker 4: and I was like, that was the greatest answer. That
Speaker 4: I love hearing that from my grandson because I love
Speaker 4: responsibility and I love the fact that they know that
Speaker 4: I'm there for them, so when they get to a
Speaker 4: point to take care of themselves, they'll know what it
Speaker 4: feels like to have somebody who had their back, who
Speaker 4: was up close and personal, real with them. My grandfather
Speaker 4: meant the world to me. I used to watch wrestling
Speaker 4: with him, T Birds played the Green Onion, put forty
Speaker 4: five's on for him. All of those experiences that I
Speaker 4: have with my grandfather I'm giving to my grandkids, and
Speaker 4: I hope one day that they say that, man, my
Speaker 4: grandfather gave me so much to run with that I'm
Speaker 4: able to make moves bigger than the moves that he made.
Speaker 5: Do you think you've already fulfilled your purpose? Are you
Speaker 5: still searching for what God really puts you to do?
Speaker 4: I know what I'm here for. I put a gospel
Speaker 4: out of my On April twenty seventh, the spirit of
Speaker 4: my mother on death row records who would believe that.
Speaker 4: So I understand what I'm here for. I know I'm
Speaker 4: one of them chosen ones. I know what my spirit
Speaker 4: is here to do. Been through the fire so I
Speaker 4: can get to the light. And I just know that
Speaker 4: I'm being used for a certain reason. I know I'm
Speaker 4: my angel. I know that they put this kind of
Speaker 4: pressure on the ones that can handle it the most.
Speaker 4: I know that what my purpose is. I know why
