Speaker 2: the outlet. I love how y'all treat the artists that

Speaker 2: realization of R and B music and R and B money.
Speaker 2: It all makes sense, sir is.
Speaker 3: We are brothers and family and friends and loved ones.
Speaker 3: I am never used to the fact that you're sitting
Speaker 3: right there. Went to a concert one day, jay Z concert,
Speaker 3: Me and my guy little Steve, and that's my attitude.
Speaker 3: And we're sitting in the audience watching jay Z bring
Speaker 3: out his friends M and ther bus door opens up
Speaker 3: and a barrage of smoke comes out, and all.
Speaker 5: Year is doom, doom, doom, doom.
Speaker 2: I screamed, We screamed like Jesus had came back. That
Speaker 2: entire arena.
Speaker 5: It lost their minds.
Speaker 3: I remember it like it was yesterday, and I was like,
Speaker 3: that's Snoop, motherfucking dog, nigga.
Speaker 2: Do you feel that that was beautiful? Jayson did that.
Speaker 2: That was a fucking great idea that he had to
Speaker 2: take that tour bus on the roll every stop bringing
Speaker 2: his friends up for being creative and innovative.
Speaker 3: No, listen, jameson creative and innovative. But today today is
Speaker 3: Snoop pop your ship. You are who you are a day,
Speaker 3: this is this is this is that day. You You're
Speaker 3: a You're a very humble, you're a very giving, a
Speaker 3: very accommodating human being.
Speaker 2: You do that.
Speaker 3: I've watched you do it over the years. I've watched
Speaker 3: you do it for me. Yeah, we've experienced it. We've
Speaker 3: experienced it. Today it's flowers Day. That's not that that's right,
Speaker 3: and what you're doing in the R and B space,
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, talk about it.
Speaker 5: Come on, man.
Speaker 2: That's my first love, though, Tank, that's my first love.
Speaker 2: My mother raised me on R and B music. I
Speaker 2: was a seventies baby that could come in the living
Speaker 2: room and dance with her and her friends when all
Speaker 2: the other kids would have to be in the back Snoopy,
Speaker 2: come on out of here, do that day as you do,
Speaker 2: be dancing it from that dance. I'm sitting down with
Speaker 2: her friends, sitting on her lap, and they just playing music.
Speaker 2: Teddy Pendergrass, Isley Brothers, Curtis Mayfield, just everything that's good
Speaker 2: that you're mad. The stylistics, anything with with with tone
Speaker 2: and harmony and instrumentation. They plan it. Not only are
Speaker 2: they planning, but they singing it. Like everybody in the
Speaker 2: living room singing this shit. So it's like naturally, as
Speaker 2: a kid, your brain moves faster, so you can learn
Speaker 2: the song faster than an adult. I learned all of
Speaker 2: these songs, and I would be singing this ship. My
Speaker 2: mama would always bring me in the living room to
Speaker 2: either dance or sing than in church. I hated this ship.
Speaker 2: It used to make me lead songs, but it grown
Speaker 2: me to who I am now. I had to sing leads.
Speaker 2: Nigga Me and Ricky Harris sa. Yes, his father was
Speaker 2: the preacher, so nigga, you know you can't run from
Speaker 2: it if your daddy didn't. And then he point me
Speaker 2: out he could sing too, like fuck brother Snooper, get
Speaker 2: up here and singing.
Speaker 3: Hold up let's stalt back too, because you said, mom said, snoopy.
Speaker 2: Come on in here. It went for me and mama party.
Speaker 2: And since she was a baby baby, Yeah, me and
Speaker 2: Mama used to party right in the seventies. Then she
Speaker 2: found the Lord. When she found the Lord, you have
Speaker 2: to find them. We in church Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday and sunny.
Speaker 2: Because she found the Lord. Everybody in the house, you
Speaker 2: gonna find him. I found the Lord. I'm delivered.
Speaker 5: I got it, no way.
Speaker 2: Yes. My mother raised me in the church, and dad's
Speaker 2: mother taught me how to sing. She worked with me
Speaker 2: with the piano, and and and and just she seen
Speaker 2: something in me. You know what I'm saying. It's like church,
Speaker 2: you see all of the talent, you see what it is.
Speaker 2: That's the first place you see the talent. My auntie
Speaker 2: is seen it in me, and she made my grandmother
Speaker 2: pay for me to go get piano lessons. So that
Speaker 2: was my first love, was piano singing. And I was like,
Speaker 2: I ain't no singer. I don't like that pressure of singing.
Speaker 2: It was just I was stressed. It was pressure. It's
Speaker 2: his notes and its harmonies, and it's like that's too much.
Speaker 2: Then when rap came out. I'm like, that's what I
Speaker 2: like because it's a little bit of singing but a
Speaker 2: lot of rapping. And then I could take the singing
Speaker 2: in the church things that I learned and instilling in here.
Speaker 2: Then I meet Nate Dogg and Nate Dogg doing the
Speaker 2: same thing I'm doing, taking church songs but flipping them
Speaker 2: in the hood song. If you listen to Nate, all
Speaker 2: his songs are church songs. A deacon.
Speaker 3: Yes, Nate sings like every yes, every man in the
Speaker 3: in the men's Choir, Men's Choir Anniversary, that's how he sings.
Speaker 2: Yes.
Speaker 5: And I'm listening to Nate Dogg like this nigga.
Speaker 2: Yes, that's Uncle Norman. Yes, this is going crazy, my
Speaker 2: environmental tank. This is what we raised with. So when
Speaker 2: we was creating our sound, the church is everything. That's
Speaker 2: why we used to always say church because we take
Speaker 2: God everywhere we go, especially in our music. Leave behind
Speaker 2: you take God in the war. He's gonna help you out.
Speaker 2: Why are you gonna call him after the fact when
Speaker 2: you could take him in there with you? Oh God,
Speaker 2: I'll never do it again. How about Oh God, I'm
Speaker 2: going to go do something. I need you to ride
Speaker 2: with me on this one. Absolutely, let's get that call
Speaker 2: in early. Absolutely, because he's there, He's always there.
Speaker 3: Had you sang on any any of your records, any
Speaker 3: of your demos once you started finding rap? Did you
Speaker 3: expose that part yet?
Speaker 1: Before?
Speaker 5: What Sexual seduction?
Speaker 2: Which completely called me way off? God shout out red
Speaker 2: for right, I can go R and B that's I
Speaker 2: just don't want to get in y'all lang. I'm gonna
Speaker 2: leave y'all alone. You know what I'm saying. Y'all got
Speaker 2: too many damn kings. Y'all got it's R and B
Speaker 2: k every every week in this I'm can't. God damn it,
Speaker 2: I'm the general. Thank you, I stay out of that.
Speaker 2: Thank you.
Speaker 3: But cutting cutting from you singing an acchoir, cutting to
Speaker 3: sexual seduction. Now it makes sense because I was like,
Speaker 3: why is this nigga snoop jamming?
Speaker 2: Like this? How's this nigga on key in key in hocket?
Speaker 3: Because people don't realize autotune can't make you sing. No
Speaker 3: autotune is is is an afterthought. Is is a preset
Speaker 3: that gives you a certain sonic If you can sing
Speaker 3: which which which dials you into a certain algorithm you
Speaker 3: understand what I'm saying. But if you can't sing, auto
Speaker 3: tune can't help you do that. And people who can
Speaker 3: sing can hear a motherfucker that can sing even when
Speaker 3: that autotune is on. I said that motherfucker Snoop can sing.
Speaker 2: You know it's crazy. I had another song that I
Speaker 2: have wrote for Bobby Womack to sing the hook, and
Speaker 2: Bobby Womack was working with the Gorillas at the time
Speaker 2: and he couldn't get to me, so he was like,
Speaker 2: just lay the reference down, and when you lay the reference,
Speaker 2: I do it. So I laid the reference. It was
Speaker 2: a song called ups and Downs that Warren Campbell did
Speaker 2: for me. Yeah there will be ups and down smile.
Speaker 2: But I had wrote it for Bobby Womack in the
Speaker 2: beginning when I'm talking as I think back and I'm
Speaker 2: thinking about the years I'm talking just like Bobby Womac.
Speaker 2: He never got the record in his hands, so I
Speaker 2: ended up putting it out and then I seen him.
Speaker 2: He was like, man, you did that shit way better
Speaker 2: than I could have did it. I'm like, but Bobby,
Speaker 2: I wrote it for you. He's like, man, I heard
Speaker 2: the record. I just didn't want to touch it because
Speaker 2: you sound me so good, and that fucked me up
Speaker 2: that he didn't want to do the reference because he
Speaker 2: felt like I did such a good job.
Speaker 5: But you probably had a take on it that was
Speaker 5: different from Yeah, from him.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but it was his reference.
Speaker 3: It was it was like, I'm doing this you like,
Speaker 3: there's a certain thing that especially with you as the creator.
Speaker 3: It's textures. It's textures, it's a styling, it's a did
Speaker 3: you put into it?
Speaker 2: This? Sometimes be like this that's actually better than what
Speaker 2: I'm gonna do.
Speaker 6: That's why me and you though we never for us
Speaker 6: knop like we never listened to the hip hop records
Speaker 6: where the rapper is singing their own hooks and feel away.
Speaker 1: Right, We're like, oh, Nigga, that ship makes sense.
Speaker 2: Singing Nigga gonna over sing that he gonna do too
Speaker 2: much like come on, bro, relax, we're gonna get in
Speaker 2: and out. Yeah, chipping on. Why I've seen you on
Speaker 2: some gangster ship for the home Boys show Dog Rest
Speaker 2: in Peace. It was it was on too we old
Speaker 2: movie we Did You was in and I was in
Speaker 2: it too, singing like a motherfucker the thing song at
Speaker 2: the end, and we were singing your ass. It was
Speaker 2: a straight gangster ship. But using that sing it ain't easy.
Speaker 1: It's probably it wasn't mac to.
Speaker 2: Movie Shorty from the Lynch Mob. It's his movie He
Speaker 2: Got out, He rest in Peace. But it's like you
Speaker 2: was the theme song. You walked in the studio and
Speaker 2: you was singing hard as a motherfucker. You was singing
Speaker 2: R and B ship. Everybody in there was gang banging
Speaker 2: and you was singing R and B. Sh It was
Speaker 2: beautiful what you were saying. I'm like this nigga. Take
Speaker 2: me singing like this forever.
Speaker 5: This nigga sing hard, nigga fast, get to a nigga, nigga,
Speaker 5: you know what?
Speaker 2: You know what I do? Right? Yes, I sang nigga.
Speaker 3: But that was but when I touched down in l
Speaker 3: A I got I was telling you earlier. I was
Speaker 3: introduced to the I guess what would be the foundation
Speaker 3: of West Coast West coast music, and it was all music.
Speaker 5: It was all musicians. It was horns, guitar, like as
Speaker 5: we talk about a Warren Campbell.
Speaker 6: It was that Like nobody wouldn't know that Snoop Dogg
Speaker 6: grew up playing the piano, singing lead in church.
Speaker 5: But It makes sense because if you listen to the
Speaker 5: music it's all musical.
Speaker 2: It'll guide you to take you where it came from,
Speaker 2: to show you where the foundation.
Speaker 6: When y'all kicked in the door the way y'all kicked
Speaker 6: in the door from the chronic right, it's musical music.
Speaker 2: It was.
Speaker 6: It's a reason why that album stands out from anything else.
Speaker 6: It's the reason why Doggy Style stands out the way
Speaker 6: it does with the dramatics and you know what I'm saying,
Speaker 6: And then it reminds you of Blue Magic And you
Speaker 6: know what I'm saying, Like, like you said, the stylistics,
Speaker 6: like I grew up on all of that. I learned
Speaker 6: how to sing off all that I learned how that's
Speaker 6: where my falsetto comes from.
Speaker 2: You know what I'm sayings like I need to find
Speaker 2: that note, yeah, I hit that note. Yeah.
Speaker 6: So it's like when y'all came in the in the game,
Speaker 6: y'all brought a different type of musicality.
Speaker 2: But we but we was fans of that particular genre
Speaker 2: of music, and Doctor Dre was able to produce that
Speaker 2: for us and to keep that in our music. He
Speaker 2: never strayed away from that. He always kept something that
Speaker 2: you could, oh, that's hell, that's ain't that, But then
Speaker 2: we would have a different hook on it, but it's
Speaker 2: still that sound was like something that you can, man,
Speaker 2: that shit remind me of? Is that that is okay?
Speaker 2: Because this is the ship that we was raised on.
Speaker 2: We was raised on good ship, good musicianship, good harmonies,
Speaker 2: and great vocalists, not good vocalists, but great vocalists. So
Speaker 2: whenever we would have somebody in the studio, they would
Speaker 2: have to really have have that vocal chops that. It's
Speaker 2: just like no matter if there was a no name.
Speaker 2: Everybody that started with us had no name. They became
Speaker 2: household names because of what they did. Never had a
Speaker 2: household name. On the Chronic album, all that was us
Speaker 2: and then Doggy Steff, it was all us, just the dramatics.
Speaker 2: Everything else was just us, no household names, Juel's, Nate
Speaker 2: Dog They were the singers, but they could out sing
Speaker 2: anybody in the motherfucking industry, especially Juel's, and motherfuckers knew
Speaker 2: that she was a dog, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2: But we wanted that. We wanted great musicianship and great
Speaker 2: vocalists on our music and not just dope ass raps.
Speaker 2: When did you know you were different?
Speaker 5: Uh?
Speaker 3: And to add to that, you recognize that you needed
Speaker 3: to maintain and preserve your difference.
Speaker 2: On the dope spot, gang banging and selling dope and
Speaker 2: just not having the spirit that the rest of the
Speaker 2: homies had. Like it was easy for them to just
Speaker 2: do wrong. It was easy for them to shoot, it
Speaker 2: was easy for them to just do all of the
Speaker 2: shit to come with the lifestyle. Some of that shit
Speaker 2: was difficult for me, but the rapping and the funny
Speaker 2: shit and the talking to the girls, that ship was
Speaker 2: always easy for me, But the other ship was difficult.
Speaker 2: So I had to make a decision on what I
Speaker 2: wanted to do as far as like to differentiate myself
Speaker 2: from everybody else. And I noticed that my rapping was
Speaker 2: always it was cool. Other neighborhoods would like it. When
Speaker 2: I get locked up, other gangs would like it. The
Speaker 2: girls liked it, and that's something that nobody else could
Speaker 2: do when it made me different. So I was like,
Speaker 2: I'm gonna do this. I'm gonna step into this world
Speaker 2: and it really become Snoop rock Ski. That was my
Speaker 2: first rap name.
Speaker 1: You gotta have a rock Ski back then.
Speaker 2: You got But that's when you know you're real. Yeah,
Speaker 2: when you got a whole rap name.
Speaker 1: That's really.
Speaker 2: Came from Yeah, cool rock Ski from the Fat Boys.
Speaker 2: He was my favorite rapper. This nigga was hard at
Speaker 2: fuck the Fat Boys listen to me. I'm a skinny
Speaker 2: niggas probably went about. But the Fat Boys made some
Speaker 2: of the dopest music in the early eighties.
Speaker 1: And shout out to the movie Disorderly.
Speaker 2: That was my shit, that was my shit. Yeah, I'm
Speaker 2: so Naturally we were gonna want to be like who
Speaker 2: our favorite person is, so I couldn't be him. So
Speaker 2: my name is Snoopy. I'm Snoop. I just take the
Speaker 2: rock Ski and just be Snoop rock Ski. And all
Speaker 2: through junior high school, that's all my niggas called me
Speaker 2: was Snoop. So my homies still to this day, what's up,
Speaker 2: Snoop Rock? They still call me that to this day,
Speaker 2: and I smiled because it's like I can't run from it.
Speaker 2: It's an identity that I created, and it's a memory
Speaker 2: for them when I was a young dope rapper and
Speaker 2: they hold on to that memory because it's like you
Speaker 2: a star now, but we remember when you was that
Speaker 2: young dope rapper. You was battling this person and this person,
Speaker 2: and you was Snoop rock Ski and you was hard
Speaker 2: and you was so it's like it's a memory. Like
Speaker 2: when I see Magic Johnson play. If I see Magic today,
Speaker 2: I think about him in eighty five eighty four. I
Speaker 2: don't think about him right now. Nigga, it's my friend, niggas.
Speaker 2: Nigga won a championship. Nigga only see that, you know
Speaker 2: what I'm saying. So my friends only see that. They
Speaker 2: only see Snoop rock Ski. They don't see Snoop Dogg
Speaker 2: or Snoop Doggie Dog. If I can explain it to
Speaker 2: you like that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, now it makes perfect sense. That's right now, that
Speaker 3: makes perfect sen because you found your rhythm that way.
Speaker 2: That way. Yeah, you know what I mean with them?
Speaker 2: They were my first fans.
Speaker 1: At what age did you start rapping?
Speaker 2: Twelve?
Speaker 1: So you start rapping at twelve, you get your deal without.
Speaker 2: Nineteen?
Speaker 6: So seven years ye did you have the I mean
Speaker 6: because you from southern California, right, I know how to
Speaker 6: separate it. I know you from Long Bea, so I
Speaker 6: ain't gonna see you from La. You know what I'm saying,
Speaker 6: like La County, Lake County, right, but it's still adjacent
Speaker 6: to the industry. You're still close, right. So in those
Speaker 6: seven years, did you ever have like the starting stops
Speaker 6: of Oh, I think such and such gonna sign me
Speaker 6: before you get to drake?
Speaker 2: Yeah, more nose than yesters though, of course, Like fuck,
Speaker 2: we had a demo tape that we made and we
Speaker 2: took it to this white dude in Hollywood and he
Speaker 2: played this ship. Then the nigga looked at me and said,
Speaker 2: it's cool, but you're no DJ Quick m hmm. I
Speaker 2: was that broke my heart and I always I told
Speaker 2: Quick that too. I was like that nigga told me
Speaker 2: that shit. I wanted to just just come come after.
Speaker 1: You after that, like, not even knowing he was, he
Speaker 1: was creating that.
Speaker 2: Yes, like it made me want to make records dope
Speaker 2: like Quick records because I understood what he meant. I
Speaker 2: didn't take it the wrong way. I was like, damn man,
Speaker 2: Quick Quick was the top of he was the top
Speaker 2: of the When I'm listening to Quick shit, I'm like,
Speaker 2: my shit, don't sound nothing like this. He's fucking right.
Speaker 2: So that was a note that really hurt my heart.
Speaker 2: And then we went to uh Torrents to Easy in
Speaker 2: them studio when they was working on the Niggas for
Speaker 2: Life album and Warren G has supposedly got us a meeting,
Speaker 2: but the meeting didn't happen because we get up there
Speaker 2: and Easy come to the gate to the bard gate,
Speaker 2: don't let us in. He tell waring G to leave,
Speaker 2: waring G don't want to leave, and Easy flash his
Speaker 2: little thing. Then we leave and waring G called him
Speaker 2: all kind of names and shit, and we don't get
Speaker 2: the meeting, and I'm like my heart was beating fast anywhere.
Speaker 2: I was like I wasn't ready for that, no way,
Speaker 2: Like I was real nervous, like I would have probably
Speaker 2: choked that off. So I was like, nah, it's cool.
Speaker 2: So we drove all the way back home after thinking
Speaker 2: that we had a meeting with Easy and NWN we
Speaker 2: ain't have shit. Yeah, So it's been heartbreaking like that
Speaker 2: to where it's like you think you almost And then
Speaker 2: I was with above the law, above the law. They
Speaker 2: believed in us, like Warren G would take us, we
Speaker 2: would go to this studio in Inglewood and just post up.
Speaker 2: But they they was like we got cocaine and Kelo
Speaker 2: g after them too. You know we'll line you up, Snoop.
Speaker 2: I'm like, all right, cool. So I'm here chilling doing
Speaker 2: our thing, waiting, waiting, waiting. So one particular Saturday, Warren
Speaker 2: g go to the bachelor party with drewing him and
Speaker 2: he slid in ar cassette. So now Sunday, Dre like,
Speaker 2: I want you to come to the studio. But before
Speaker 2: that one Eddy seven said, Hey, Snoop, Monday, I'm gonna
Speaker 2: record your first song. So now I gotta make a decision.
Speaker 2: Do I go do my first song with a buffalo
Speaker 2: who been, you know, saying they gonna put me on
Speaker 2: they been rocking with me, they hear, Or do I
Speaker 2: take a chance and go to the studio with doctor
Speaker 2: Dre on Monday after he just heard my demo text
Speaker 2: to see what he thinks.
Speaker 6: All of us have either discovered the artists or been
Speaker 6: around the artists at the beginning, and sometimes they got
Speaker 6: to make a decision for themselves, and we're not always
Speaker 6: the people to take them there.
Speaker 2: We may not be the choice, and we may not
Speaker 2: have been able to actually take them where they needed
Speaker 2: to go. That's a fact I've had to become comfortable
Speaker 2: with that. That's a fact.
Speaker 6: I've had the artists that have been mad at me
Speaker 6: with me just being like, you know what, somebody else
Speaker 6: should do this for you. Well, I just want you
Speaker 6: to man, Well, I'm telling you you need something different.
Speaker 2: Wry, something different that can take you places I can't
Speaker 2: go right now. And that's how that went. And just
Speaker 2: about maybe about three weeks ago, Mi dre In one
Speaker 2: eighty seven was together and it's our relationship is like
Speaker 2: this because it's like they both seen something in me.
Speaker 2: He was just the one that was able to crack
Speaker 2: the cold.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I want to ask you a question about And
Speaker 3: this is something that maybe you know, it'd be great
Speaker 3: for the young guys who are coming up in the game,
Speaker 3: who are tapped into their street side and you know,
Speaker 3: have to figure out how to navigate between Now you're
Speaker 3: now you're a professional rapper, you're a professional entity, a
Speaker 3: professional entertainer, but you are still deeply connected and rooted
Speaker 3: in the streets. What is that navigation like because you've
Speaker 3: had to navigate those roads and that that that thing
Speaker 3: right there for a long time to where on the
Speaker 3: outside looking in you you figured that shit out in
Speaker 3: a way to where we've seen nothing like you. You
Speaker 3: are a household name like Middle America, Russia, Australia. You
Speaker 3: could sell betting, Nigga. You the most famous rapper whoever lives.
Speaker 3: And I argue with whoever want to they they.
Speaker 2: Call you that you can sell betting. I do have
Speaker 2: hint Bedsel I do. I yeah, sleep on the flowers.
Speaker 1: Yea.
Speaker 3: For those, for those, for those, for those guys, and
Speaker 3: even though those those girls who are trying to navigate
Speaker 3: that and figure what is what is the science.
Speaker 2: Or what is you know what? It's an individual situation
Speaker 2: that we all got to go through. It's a collision
Speaker 2: course with life that you have to learn how to
Speaker 2: master yourself. And what I've learned to do is master
Speaker 2: myself with love. Like that's the only thing that I
Speaker 2: can answer everything. What is love? Like all of the
Speaker 2: situations that I've been in when it comes to streets
Speaker 2: and it comes to negativity or bad energy, the only
Speaker 2: way that I've been able to win is through love.
Speaker 2: Like I've never been able to match your energy with
Speaker 2: your energy. I've always been able to have a plan
Speaker 2: of love to turn down your energy. And that is
Speaker 2: like my guidelines to maneuvering and navigating through the hood
Speaker 2: and the business. Because it's the same shit. You're gonna
Speaker 2: deal with hate when you get to the top, no
Speaker 2: matter who you are. How do you deal with that hate?
Speaker 2: Do you answer it with hate or do you answer
Speaker 2: with love and success? Me personally, I asked for it
Speaker 2: with success and love. That's my answer to any hate
Speaker 2: and any negativity that comes my way, because it's the
Speaker 2: strongest force that can beat it. That makes sense. Yeah, Yeah,
Speaker 2: because I've been. I've been, I've been in war, I've been,
Speaker 2: I've been in active activities, and that shit ain't fun.
Speaker 2: It ain't cool looking over your shoulder and you know,
Speaker 2: making sure everything is cool and super secured and all
Speaker 2: of that, even though you have to be secure anyway.
Speaker 2: But I'm just saying all of that extra shit where
Speaker 2: niggas is looking for you. It's different. I got grandkids,
Speaker 2: I may be a Disneyland. I don't want to have
Speaker 2: no problems with nobody. Well, I'm holding my granddaughter's on
Speaker 2: and be like that nigga is right there, right like
Speaker 2: I wanted to be like that. That nigga is right there.
Speaker 2: Let's get a picture with it. Yeah, it's a big
Speaker 2: difference between that that nigga is right there, I won't
Speaker 2: that that nigga is right there, let's get a picture
Speaker 2: with him.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, but the other part too, that I
Speaker 6: think that you've brought to the world is showing that
Speaker 6: you don't gotta be a mad dog and nigga and
Speaker 6: all of.
Speaker 1: That other shit to be againster, no, no, bro.
Speaker 6: Every situation I've ever been in where you were there,
Speaker 6: I always felt welcome.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I always felt like this is like Snoop is
Speaker 1: like one of the most accommodating people I've ever met
Speaker 1: in my life.
Speaker 2: Blame it on my mama. That's how she was. She
Speaker 2: taught me how to be who I am. Like. She
Speaker 2: was always a giver. Her door was always open, and
Speaker 2: she was more into peace and confrontation. Yeah. She loved
Speaker 2: to find a resolution. Even when I was young and
Speaker 2: I had fights with my friends, she'd be like, go
Speaker 2: get him and bring him and like, y'all not finna
Speaker 2: be fighting y'all friends, and not like some people. Other
Speaker 2: mother be like, go fuck him upright, go beat his ass.
Speaker 2: We better go. She wasn't like that. She's a little
Speaker 2: bit different. Like I know his mama, come here, you
Speaker 2: know what I'm saying. Like some of my friends to
Speaker 2: this day, it's because of what I just said, Because
Speaker 2: my mama and they mamas were friends and we became friends.
Speaker 2: The twins are the perfect example of that. They've been
Speaker 2: my homeboys for them there fifty years, and it's because
Speaker 2: of their mother and my mother went to school together
Speaker 2: and we grew up together. And I love those relationships
Speaker 2: like that, those real ones.
Speaker 6: No, I mean you can still see it within the
Speaker 6: guys that came in the game together, not even just
Speaker 6: the friendships from your neighborhood, but also so the friendships
Speaker 6: within the industry because we all know that shit be
Speaker 6: going all kind of way.
Speaker 2: To do and it's hard to maneuver because before you
Speaker 2: know it, you and Tank is into it. But I
Speaker 2: love both of y'all. Now I can't hang out with
Speaker 2: Valentine because Tank gonna be mad at me. Now, me
Speaker 2: and Jay we can't go get none to eat because
Speaker 2: Tank gonna feel some kind of way. Now I want
Speaker 2: to go see Tank, not Tank mad, Like what the fuck? Man,
Speaker 2: I'm too grown for that ship. Time for that ship man,
Speaker 2: grown ass man for real shit, I got grandkids. I'm
Speaker 2: trying to separate the motherfuckers right now from fighting. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 2: that's that's a that's a task at hand that I
Speaker 2: love doing, Like making my grandkids love each other. Now.
Speaker 2: To try to make two grown ups do that, it's
Speaker 2: crazy and then try to have them get mad at
Speaker 2: you or make a choice on which side you're picking.
Speaker 2: I don't pick size.
Speaker 5: I don't know how to give me one of your
Speaker 5: proudest moments as a rapper.
Speaker 2: As a rapper, one of my proudest moments probably was
Speaker 2: a Soul Train Awards nineteen ninety three. Me and Doctor
Speaker 2: Drake came out and a lowrider, first time it ever
Speaker 2: been done. And I looked in the crowd and it
Speaker 2: was fucking Anita Baker, Jeffrey Osborn, Quincy Jones. It was
Speaker 2: the all of the nigga, the one nigga, do you
Speaker 2: hear me? New Edition, Johnny Gill. They stood up, Whitney Houston,
Speaker 2: all of them stood up when we came in. I
Speaker 2: just shit went into my shit and I was like, oh,
Speaker 2: everybody in this morning, fuckers, I love you know what
Speaker 2: I'm saying. That That was young Snoop Dogg Snoop Doggie Dog. Yeah,
Speaker 2: that was a high light. I got a picture with
Speaker 2: Anita Baker that night, and I had it at my
Speaker 2: house for like ten years. Then I couldn't find the motherfucker.
Speaker 2: Go to my auntie houses and her it's me. You've
Speaker 2: been yea, yeah, that's how I go. Man, it was cold.
Speaker 6: Because you also realized and this is something that it
Speaker 6: took me a minute two.
Speaker 1: To understand a little bit of what we mean to
Speaker 1: our people.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Right, you know.
Speaker 1: Because I used to. I used to you know, I
Speaker 1: would hear my father talk on the phone or I
Speaker 1: would hear.
Speaker 6: You know, what I'm saying, like and not know that
Speaker 6: I'm even at the house and what he's saying about me.
Speaker 2: Like I remember.
Speaker 1: When I first got my first like solo deal.
Speaker 6: I was signed to a lecture and I end up
Speaker 6: meeting my guy asked Chambers, who was the entertainment connection
Speaker 6: for Nike.
Speaker 2: So he started sending me the boxes. I'm listening to
Speaker 2: my daddy. I'm back at his house. I'm listening to

Speaker 2: good for us to be on our best behavior because
Speaker 2: we mean the world.
Speaker 1: To represent ourselves.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we mean the world to them. So that's that
Speaker 2: feels good When people tell me they proud of me
Speaker 2: and they happy for me, and they see who I
Speaker 2: am and who are becoming. The things that I do.
Speaker 2: I don't do it for that. I don't want no
Speaker 2: no highlight reel, but it feels good to hear that,
Speaker 2: to know that because my mother works with me from
Speaker 2: up top. You know, her spirit is in me now,
Speaker 2: so the blessings are hers, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2: I look at it like, this is the angel that
Speaker 2: she wanted me to be. This is the preacher that
Speaker 2: she wanted me to be. So it's me just doing
Speaker 2: God's work, but from the angle that I choose to
Speaker 2: do it from. Yeah.

Speaker 2: that thing on the front door, that little notice.
Speaker 1: We all know that notice.
Speaker 2: Well, boy, I seen that notice about five or six times.
Speaker 2: Then we finally get to the point to where it's
Speaker 2: like the chronic is done, and I think they give
Speaker 2: us like seventy five hundred to sign. And then and
Speaker 2: the riots happened fucking four the day the niggas took over.
Speaker 2: That was the jackpot. We went out and I stole
Speaker 2: the TV.
Speaker 4: Radio, every everything, nigga. We didn't miss a beat after that. Blankets, pillows,
Speaker 4: everything ever I'm talking about, had pictures and we stole everything.
Speaker 4: The house was amazing after that, just all stolen goods.
Speaker 4: So that's how I came up with my first piece
Speaker 4: of money.
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: It's the best woodd you buy a story ever? Right,
Speaker 1: but right's fucking great.
Speaker 2: Yes, And then DLC came and lived with me for

Speaker 2: You stayed there, nigga for a whole year, for the year. Yes, Cindy,
Speaker 2: I'm sorry to pay your rent money. I will give
Speaker 2: you tickets to a Snoop dog.
Speaker 1: Was it my fault?
Speaker 2: It was different than five money Hit. Different back then
Speaker 2: with y'all touring off of touring, no on a seven
Speaker 2: day chronic tour? What seven days? It lasted for seven
Speaker 2: days because the niggas took every nigga that they knew
Speaker 2: with them on the road. And you can't take no
Speaker 2: niggas from California on the road. And don't think, ain't
Speaker 2: nothing gonna happen. And we was on the road with Onyx,
Speaker 2: run DMC and the Ghetto Boys. God dang lasted for
Speaker 2: seven days. It'll be on the death row documentary. Ill
Speaker 2: fee in on that letter. But that's where you can
Speaker 2: see that they get out. That's coming out incredible. Seven days,
Speaker 2: seven days, just like the group Saiven Day.
Speaker 1: And what is the what is the timeline between the
Speaker 1: chronic in Doggy Staff.
Speaker 2: The timeline between Chronic and Doggie Style. Chronic came out
Speaker 2: I think December nineteen ninety two. Doggy Style came out
Speaker 2: November twenty third, nineteen ninety three. Oh that was right on.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, it's back to back.
Speaker 2: And some of the singles from the Chronic rolled off
Speaker 2: into Doggy Staff. So Little Ghetto Boys single was out
Speaker 2: the same time What's My Name single was out. This
Speaker 2: little getto Boy was one of the last singles off
Speaker 2: of the Ghetto off of the Chronic album.
Speaker 1: So now you're touring though at Snoop Dogg.
Speaker 2: Are still not know how about I called a murder case.
Speaker 2: That's when the case had August twenty third, nineteen ninety three,
Speaker 2: So before the album came out, I called a murder case,
Speaker 2: and they thought I wrote the song murder. But I
Speaker 2: wrote the song in July and caught the case in August.
Speaker 2: That's why when I got to the dog Father album,
Speaker 2: I started writing about life because I felt like my
Speaker 2: generation was writing about death and we was cool with it, right,
Speaker 2: you know, all of us. We just we just wrote
Speaker 2: about death because that's what we expected to die. So
Speaker 2: we wrote death in our lyrics. We didn't write happy endings,
Speaker 2: we didn't write living to see another day. We wrote
Speaker 2: the worst outcome you could imagine, you know, getting shot
Speaker 2: in the blaze of bullets, going out like a gangster.
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying. That's what we was. We
Speaker 2: was on that ship because that's what we Scarface and
Speaker 2: all these movies that we watched. That was the ship.
Speaker 2: So we was influenced by until we understood that. Man,
Speaker 2: my pen is really right in reality life. It's powerful.
Speaker 2: Not what I used to do. But this ship is
Speaker 2: starting to write future shit that's happening to me. Man.
Speaker 6: I see it every day. I'm like, man, why did
Speaker 6: I write that such and such? Man, I be living
Speaker 6: some of that ship.
Speaker 2: And it's the truth. It's the truth. It is. I mean,
Speaker 2: the pen is mighty in the sward. So you gotta
Speaker 2: know when you write, you gotta write reality. So sometimes
Speaker 2: you can manifest what you want. And I manifested this.
Speaker 2: So my album dog Father, had a song called Doggieland.
Speaker 2: While I was just talking about being a grandfather living
Speaker 2: to see all these different things happening, doggie Land was
Speaker 2: the song title. Now, I have a kids program called
Speaker 2: Doggieland that's one of the most successful kids programs on YouTube,
Speaker 2: and they listened to it around the whole world, and
Speaker 2: kids go to school every day to it. And that's
Speaker 2: because I manifested it. I didn't say it won't die.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna get shot. Catch me in the pin doing
Speaker 2: twenty five nigga banging for the hood. Nah fuck that,
Speaker 2: I'm writing some other shit because when I wrote that,
Speaker 2: it happened.
Speaker 1: Yeah, now you understood it earlier.
Speaker 2: Come on, man, mastering thyself. Have so many questions, but
Speaker 2: I know you. Ain't you second hand high nigga? Yeah,
Speaker 2: but that's special.
Speaker 6: Why why you while you gathering your thoughts, why did
Speaker 6: you kick over the little niggas fort man on a.
Speaker 2: Boy? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Why did you kick over the little niggas fort man?
Speaker 2: Well, because I was jealous that that nigga daddy had
Speaker 2: motherfucking event. The fuck was I supposed to do that?
Speaker 2: Nigga wasn't there. He was the closest thing to that nigga.
Speaker 2: I couldn't hit him. I don't want to go back
Speaker 2: to the pen I'm saying. So I was like, fuck
Speaker 2: your little fort nigga.
Speaker 5: Anybody can get it many time, anybody nigga.
Speaker 2: And stepped over it on the way out. Nigga, ain't
Speaker 2: your motherfucking daddy? No what you was mean? And that
Speaker 2: motherfucker shout out to John secretary. He directed me like
Speaker 2: one thing about John when he did his movies, he
Speaker 2: worked with the actors personally seen for seeing line for line.
Speaker 2: He wanted to make sure that you were bringing what
Speaker 2: he had on paper. And with my character Rotney, he
Speaker 2: really wanted like this menacing, you know, gang related nigga
Speaker 2: that just didn't give a fuck, that had no patience,
Speaker 2: conscious or nothing. So it was not easy to get
Speaker 2: into that character because that's not who I am. But
Speaker 2: I've drawn inspiration from so many people that I've seen
Speaker 2: that was that way you delivered and him directed me,
Speaker 2: direct me, direct me, give me direction on the set.
Speaker 2: What you'll learn from me is I love to be directed.
Speaker 2: I tell the director, especially when they be scared and
Speaker 2: because I'm Snoop Dogg and they be like, oh my god,
Speaker 2: working with Snoop dog I'm like, look, nigga, fuck all that.
Speaker 2: Direct me, throw that Snoop Dogg. Shut out the window, nigga,
Speaker 2: direct me, get me right, tell me what I need
Speaker 2: to be doing, so that way I'm doing the best
Speaker 2: version of it. And then you end up in training
Speaker 2: day and Denzel came to my trailer before the scene
Speaker 2: that was so gangster like. I had knew him, but
Speaker 2: he wasn't like a personal friend of mine. He was
Speaker 2: just somebody that I admired and I had seen him
Speaker 2: a couple of times. But once I got this roll,
Speaker 2: the nigga came to my trailer man and it was
Speaker 2: so all my homies was in there. We was in
Speaker 2: the Jungles too. It was a blood neighborhood, the Jungles.
Speaker 2: And the first thing I did when I got there,
Speaker 2: I went, I was like, who got the bud? They
Speaker 2: was like blood in the back guy. I walked through
Speaker 2: the Jungles, gave that nigga five hundred and nigga take
Speaker 2: care of us. Were gonna be here all day? Oh,
Speaker 2: I snooped all blood you good? Or we straight with
Speaker 2: them boom cause I'm wearing a blue sweatsuit. And now
Speaker 2: I let y'all know they I'm gonna be over and
Speaker 2: shooting this movie with Dennzel, nigga politicking, get that straight.
Speaker 2: Getting the trailer. Now we're in that chilling and a
Speaker 2: nigga named Rodney from sixties who I kind of like
Speaker 2: drew my inspiration from my nigga Pete Whack. He was
Speaker 2: there that day with me and Denzel. Come in the trailer.
Speaker 2: He pulled me in the back. He said a few
Speaker 2: things to me, and I swear that ship he said
Speaker 2: to me just made me just like mm hmm, I
Speaker 2: ain't start struck no more. This is a regular nigga. Okay,
Speaker 2: I know what he just did. He just put me
Speaker 2: on regular. Yeah. He don't want me to be an actor.
Speaker 2: He wanted me to be a regular nigga. We got
Speaker 2: on the set Nigga answin food. While I was like action.
Speaker 2: I did that ship one time. I didn't do it twice.
Speaker 1: You're seeing one take one night.
Speaker 2: And this motherfucker take. I was gone and I was
Speaker 2: hauling ass trying to get up out of the Nigga
Speaker 2: Great Ship. Yeah. That's what we do. When we get
Speaker 2: the opportunity, we make the most of it. We're not
Speaker 2: finna play with this because I don't know who watching.
Speaker 2: I don't know who may want to give me another opportunity.
Speaker 2: I don't know if this may be my last opportunity.
Speaker 2: This may be the last time you see me on screen.
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying. So it's like, I man,
Speaker 2: I go all out when I'm in the movie. The
Speaker 2: ship that Hollywood. I'm gonna share this with y'all. The
Speaker 2: ship that Hollywood say about Snoop Dog. This nigga know
Speaker 2: all his lines and everybody else's lines. That's the that's
Speaker 2: my main thing. When I get a roll, I learned
Speaker 2: everybody lines. So in case you change your ship on
Speaker 2: the script with you, Yeah you can change a nigga.
Speaker 2: I know the premise. But if I don't know your
Speaker 2: motherfucking lines, I'm just stuck. If you if you decide
Speaker 2: to go off script. Now I'm up there like yeah, yeah, now, nigga,
Speaker 2: when you go off script on right with you? Yeah,
Speaker 2: let's go off script that. Yeah, I know all your
Speaker 2: ship or you'd be like a line supposed to say that.
Speaker 2: Damn how you know, nigga, just say it. You know
Speaker 2: what I'm saying. That's how I get these opportunities. They're
Speaker 2: not giving me these opportunities because I'm late. I'm not
Speaker 2: professional about it, talk about it. I'm not great at
Speaker 2: what I do. Like, they don't give that opportunity. If
Speaker 2: you drop the ball. I put points on the board
Speaker 2: and I show up on time. Actually, I show up
Speaker 2: early so I can be on time. I was here
Speaker 2: early enough to eat nigga teaching, you know.
Speaker 1: And these are and these are what everyone needs to hear.
Speaker 6: Yes, but especially because we feel like we're a big
Speaker 6: part of why we started the Army Money podcast was
Speaker 6: to give the information that we wish we would have had.
Speaker 6: And you coming on here and as an entertainer who's
Speaker 6: literally done everything we can imagine to do, you're giving
Speaker 6: them in us the game on how it can be
Speaker 6: done because.
Speaker 1: You you are approving person.
Speaker 6: You've proved everything you've said, Like this is why I
Speaker 6: get that because most people think, oh, I'm gonna get
Speaker 6: a hear record, They're gonna put me in a movie.
Speaker 1: Well, you might get put in one, but not fifteen.
Speaker 2: Right, and what director is watching you that probably not
Speaker 2: even from the hip hop world that's see something in you.
Speaker 2: I got a movie I'm doing with a director named
Speaker 2: Luke Basan. He did a movie called The Professional. Yes
Speaker 2: that's my only name that because I so Me and
Speaker 2: him med years ago when I was in his movie
Speaker 2: called Arthur, which is an animated movie because he loves
Speaker 2: my voice. But now we're creating some g shit now
Speaker 2: based off of him seeing me still active, still doing
Speaker 2: my ship and him still acting. So it's like inspiration
Speaker 2: as a motherfucker. You ever know who watching and the
Speaker 2: professionalism when he sees me do the Voice or do
Speaker 2: the Olympics, and I'm such a professional on them, buttoned
Speaker 2: up and not cussing on TV. That's the first thing
Speaker 2: like they put me on TV. I know how to
Speaker 2: not cuss right, and I'm still entertaining and I'm still
Speaker 2: able to reach the whole house. I know when I'm
Speaker 2: in front of the house, and I know when I'm outside,
Speaker 2: two different conversations.
Speaker 1: You were doing your show where you were an analyst
Speaker 1: on your show years ago.
Speaker 6: People don't gg Most people don't know that just before
Speaker 6: podcast before podcasts, before the Olympics.
Speaker 1: Was it just something you were doing or were you
Speaker 1: preparing yourself?
Speaker 2: Jay, I did three hundred and seventy five consecutive episodes
Speaker 2: I passed. I beat the Jeffersons What's Happening Good Times.
Speaker 2: I specifically came for them like I wanted. I said,
Speaker 2: how many episode consecutive did the Good Times and Jefferson's
Speaker 2: and all the shit that I grew up on What's Happening?
Speaker 2: It was like one seventy five, we was at two hundred.
Speaker 2: Some of them like keep Going, Keep Going, interview with
Speaker 2: Larry King, this person that person like the biggest of
Speaker 2: the biggest, the artists before they became big, the Nipsey Hustle,
Speaker 2: personal interviews like the people that you would expect Jay Rock,
Speaker 2: this person, this person, and it wasn't called a podcast.
Speaker 2: I created the GGN News Network Gangster Good News Network,
Speaker 2: because one night I was watching the news and at
Speaker 2: eleven o'clock it started with a murder, and I changed
Speaker 2: it to the other station. It was another murder. Every
Speaker 2: station was murdered, murdered, just negative, bad news, the crisis.
Speaker 2: I said, I need a news network that's all good news,
Speaker 2: and it's happy and it's fun, and it's smoking. And
Speaker 2: the weather girls come on here, have dressed and they
Speaker 2: ain't even talking about weather niggas just looking at them.
Speaker 2: Balance it's slippery, sloping, and you know what I'm saying,
Speaker 2: like cause I wanted I wanted to a different perspective.
Speaker 2: I like feeling an avoid I'm like, we shouldn't only
Speaker 2: have this, this shouldn't be the only thing that we
Speaker 2: have for news. It's bad news. So I created the
Speaker 2: Gangster Good News Network and then got to deal with Maker.
Speaker 2: Made a lot of money with them, and then Maker's
Speaker 2: got to deal with Disney and signed about it from
Speaker 2: you earlier that big They gave me a piece, but
Speaker 2: they got the wool wop. So then that's why I
Speaker 2: was like, Okay, I did all of that, man, fuck
Speaker 2: that I'm done. And then podcasts, the word podcast came
Speaker 2: to life and I stepped away. But if I ever
Speaker 2: wanted to the gg and, I could turn it on
Speaker 2: just like that, but I'd rather come support y'all's because
Speaker 2: it's podcast now and I like to support my homies
Speaker 2: and let people win because it is y'all industry now.
Speaker 2: You know. I'll play with it when I can, but
Speaker 2: I love what y'all doing, so I'll come support y'all
Speaker 2: to bring my peoples over here, to make sure that
Speaker 2: they understand that this is where you need to be
Speaker 2: at week to week. Man, we appreciate it.
Speaker 3: Listen, I want to ask you. I know you've answered
Speaker 3: this question a few times, but I need this answer.
Speaker 3: On the R and B Money podcast, my brother, you
Speaker 3: bought death Row, you bought Death Role Records, and you
Speaker 3: started doing R music.
Speaker 2: I speechless. That's what I'm built on. No tank like
Speaker 2: buying death Row Records was for me to clean it
Speaker 2: up and give it a new image, and the image
Speaker 2: gonna always be hip hop. That's the foundation. It built
Speaker 2: this shit. It's what people look at as far as
Speaker 2: the greatest West Coast hip hop lab whatever created. Yeah,
Speaker 2: but how can you write a new script and give
Speaker 2: it a brand new page but still keep the same cover.
Speaker 2: And that's what we did. We started off by me
Speaker 2: buying it and saying I want to do a record
Speaker 2: called back on death Row because people wouldn't believe it.
Speaker 2: And it was so crazy because when I was working
Speaker 2: for death Jam, I was manifestingess. I had a song
Speaker 2: called CEO while I was like, I'm the CEO of
Speaker 2: death Row record and it didn't happen. But God know
Speaker 2: how to make things move, yeah, and he put it
Speaker 2: in my hands. So I dropped that record, and I
Speaker 2: was like, I want to drop a death Row summer album,
Speaker 2: but I wanted to be R and B. So I
Speaker 2: called Raphael sa Dig, Miguel October, London, Uncle Chuck, rest
Speaker 2: in Peace, all of my homies from fifteen hundred people
Speaker 2: that just play great music, and we put together a
Speaker 2: record that was R and B and I'm like, you
Speaker 2: know what I think death Row should be this sound.
Speaker 2: So when I told October, London. I'm taking you off
Speaker 2: death Cham and bring you to death Row. Well you
Speaker 2: so he was signed to death Jam. I took him
Speaker 2: and I had him and Jane over there. H but
Speaker 2: I was able to untangle the knot to get them
Speaker 2: to come with the d O dub when I got
Speaker 2: death Row, like they come up with me, and they
Speaker 2: came with me. So we started working on his Rebirth
Speaker 2: of Marvin album and he didn't want to call it that,
Speaker 2: but I'm like, fuck that. I know what I'm doing.
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna say something, but when they hear your
Speaker 2: motherfucking voice, it's gonna shad them all the funk up.
Speaker 2: Let me work this, Let me fuck this chicken. Let
Speaker 2: you do what. Let me fuck this chicken. You hold
Speaker 2: the wings? Come on, man, you don't play no games.
Speaker 2: He come on cook. Yeah, he's gonna be cooked for
Speaker 2: a minute. Are here? He cooked? Cooks cooked? Yes, that's great, Yes,
Speaker 2: that's great.
Speaker 7: Yes.
Speaker 6: Now the market the marketing behind the Rebirth of Marvin though,
Speaker 6: in my in my opinion, it truly showed your genius
Speaker 6: and how much you understood how to really set this
Speaker 6: ship off, because that created a conversation. Yes, that would
Speaker 6: have never happened. Yes, well yes, and it's really hard
Speaker 6: to break new R and B artists it is.
Speaker 2: Trust me, let me add y'all know better than I do.
Speaker 3: Let me add to that genius. Because comparison is a killer. Yes,
Speaker 3: comparison can my comparison can? It can be a killer,
Speaker 3: especially when you're comparing it to something so so monumental
Speaker 3: and so iconic and so it has so much reference
Speaker 3: attached to it and and you go right at it.
Speaker 3: But you have a young man in the name of
Speaker 3: October London who can fucking delivery right mm hmm.
Speaker 1: He's a monster. He delivered monster his work ethic.
Speaker 2: Shout out to Jazzy fay Manel Fenzel, Fenzel me and
Speaker 2: Fenzel was you know that's my brother, and Fenzel he
Speaker 2: fucked around and played he played a song for I'm like,
Speaker 2: what the fuck is that. He's like, oh, that's this kid.
Speaker 2: I said, Oh my god, that some new shit. Oh shit,
Speaker 2: heard one song from him. And then Jazzy was like,
Speaker 2: you want to you want to fuck with him? I'm like,
Speaker 2: hell yeah, And that's when the development began. So it
Speaker 2: began like eight years ago. It wasn't just like he

Speaker 2: put him on the Madden soundtrack, put him in this song,
Speaker 2: had him perform over here, do this to be on
Speaker 2: this album, make this kind of song. Then I put
Speaker 2: him in Doggieland and had become one of the voices
Speaker 2: of the kids, to give him another lane of you know,
Speaker 2: using your voice, because you're so dope, you shouldn't just
Speaker 2: be restricted to one lane. So I showed him that,
Speaker 2: and then there's just like his spirit to work is.

Speaker 1: one place. I said, I said, Tank, He's I said.
Speaker 6: Everything that we're talking about, doing, everything that we want
Speaker 6: to do, everything that we're working towards. Snoop has the
Speaker 6: facility and the place and all of these things that

Speaker 2: I shot, you can always depend on me. You get
Speaker 2: to that.

Speaker 1: for that.
Speaker 5: Yeah, because he called me immediately.
Speaker 6: We all start with the home studio, all of us,
Speaker 6: me too. In this game, we all start with this side.
Speaker 2: I made the East Side of album in my living
Speaker 2: room and Clare Mount Nigga, I love it. The Gang
Speaker 2: Bang anthem, I love it the anthem niggas that was made.
Speaker 2: And once we finished in the studio, we went right
Speaker 2: to the living room and had a house party and
Speaker 2: it was this all you've seen in the air. It
Speaker 2: was everything just like the house studio sometimes is better
Speaker 2: than the big studio because the fucking feeling that you
Speaker 2: get from the house studio. Like even at the compound,
Speaker 2: I got a baby studio that you didn't see. That
Speaker 2: feel like I'm at the house, got little cheap couches
Speaker 2: in that, but well my wife put some expensive couch
Speaker 2: and get this cheap ass ship out. I'm like, I
Speaker 2: like cheap ship. So when niggas come over here, they
Speaker 2: feel like they can waste beer. Yeah, you know this
Speaker 2: kind of nice. I'm doing this ship like, you know
Speaker 2: what I'm saying, trying to make sure it's clean. I
Speaker 2: want some hood ship in there. But it just feels
Speaker 2: like that studio that we built there. The studio, see
Speaker 2: is the starship. So we got the starship, battleship and
Speaker 2: the mothership. The starship feels more like the beginning, you
Speaker 2: know what I'm saying, Whereas like you don't get all
Speaker 2: the glitz and glamour. He's just like you and that motherfucker.
Speaker 2: It's just you in the room. Yeah. Yeah. See the
Speaker 2: other room is inspiration. You see gold chains.
Speaker 6: I was telling him, I'm like, so he has a
Speaker 6: cologne corner in case the nigga wanna smell good.
Speaker 2: That's what we're gonna do. He got all the weed, yes, sir,
Speaker 2: all the wraps, eyeglasses.
Speaker 5: Nigga glass everything, he got everything in their tech.
Speaker 2: Y'all could have took some ship to go performing. If
Speaker 2: some of the ship ain't even my style, I would
Speaker 2: have wished the nigga to been like, dog, let me
Speaker 2: get those. Go ahead, my nigga. I swear it's some
Speaker 2: cold on what you got here. That's some cool R
Speaker 2: and B glasses in there.
Speaker 3: I said, nigga, do you call a nigga and tell
Speaker 3: him just st said no, take the nigga makes it
Speaker 3: before I asked him to make it?
Speaker 2: He do. I don't even ask this nigga. Like that's
Speaker 2: the cold part about it. When I did the drink Champs,
Speaker 2: the nigga just had a suit with the drink Champs
Speaker 2: on it. So I walked out looking like I was
Speaker 2: promoting that ship. They was like this nigga, I did
Speaker 2: the voice, same thing. He gonna make y'all some ship
Speaker 2: with he gonna put this on there. I told him
Speaker 2: to put your logo on there. Hey, y'all, some fly
Speaker 2: ship lined up, you know what I'm saying. So that
Speaker 2: way y'all can have some cool ship like this and
Speaker 2: then some R and b ship too with maybe like
Speaker 2: cool little sweater, cool little v neig. You know, I
Speaker 2: know how you get out on Nigga. You got your
Speaker 2: wool wips out. You know what I'm saying. You know
Speaker 2: what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: Hey, I can't wait till the next show.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go back there and say, hey, so so
Speaker 2: take so you got your out of woo baby, Yeah,
Speaker 2: get him right, bro.
Speaker 3: I think, I think, and I hope you realize as
Speaker 3: as as you went back to the beginning and gave
Speaker 3: us this when Mom say we at the church, we
Speaker 3: all at the church. The thing that I can truly
Speaker 3: accredit all of it too, man, is of course we
Speaker 3: get into the hard work and the gifts of a man.
Speaker 3: But you truly have favor over your life, brother, Yes, sir,
Speaker 3: you truly have.
Speaker 2: You truly have the.
Speaker 3: God keeping his hand on you, man, and keeping angels
Speaker 3: around you to protect you and keep you because guys
Speaker 3: like us need you.
Speaker 2: Man understood. It's crazy that you said that because I've
Speaker 2: been like very spiritual since I've been in this game,
Speaker 2: Like even when the tragedy happened with the murder case,
Speaker 2: first person I called was dazz Mama and she prayed
Speaker 2: with me. I mean she prayed with me strong, real strong,
Speaker 2: to keep me strong through the whole situation, because it
Speaker 2: lasted for a couple of years. It wasn't just overnight,
Speaker 2: catchy cases old tomorrow. And she had affected me for
Speaker 2: like two years and never dwelled on her and talked
Speaker 2: about it because I had so much respect for the
Speaker 2: deceased family, you know, so I don't really speak on that,
Speaker 2: but that prayer is what really helped me through that.
Speaker 2: And then once I got through that, to remain in prayer,
Speaker 2: to remain in other people's prayers, to remain praying. And
Speaker 2: my mother was always she had became an evangelist, so
Speaker 2: she was like she would always bang for me, bang
Speaker 2: bang bang. My son was raising the church. I don't
Speaker 2: care what y'all say about him and his music and
Speaker 2: blah blah this and that. Then I made that gospel album.
Speaker 2: And when I made that gospel album, I had all
Speaker 2: the musicians at the studio and I had my mother
Speaker 2: come and we played it from top to bottom and
Speaker 2: she clapped and it was so beautiful. Man. It was
Speaker 2: like probably the greatest moment in music for me because
Speaker 2: I could finally give my mother something that she could
Speaker 2: be proud of, that she could say, now, what you
Speaker 2: said all that about my son, But he took time
Speaker 2: to give God a whole album none stop speaking the truth, preaching, teaching, listening, learning,
Speaker 2: and it's called Bible of Love because that's what I
Speaker 2: told him, and she was able to hear that, and
Speaker 2: that just no matter what I do on hip hop,
Speaker 2: it just don't feel like that because my mama could
Speaker 2: never play my hip hop records and be like, that's
Speaker 2: my boy. Yeah, but that one, that's what I told him.
Speaker 2: She could see the fruits of her labor through me
Speaker 2: taking the magical moment that I had to give it
Speaker 2: up to God a whole record, Bible of Love. Make
Speaker 2: sure y'all get that this is a beautiful record. It
Speaker 2: is such a beautiful record. I mean, I listened to
Speaker 2: it from time to time, but it makes me cry
Speaker 2: when I listened to it. And ain't nothing wrong with crying,
Speaker 2: but it just it makes me cry because it's a
Speaker 2: spirit checker. It checks your spirit, and great music is
Speaker 2: supposed to do that for you. So whenever I do
Speaker 2: want to shed a tear, I play that. I play
Speaker 2: these three words. Stevie Wonder that record right there, sweet
Speaker 2: and come on, man, am I wrong? You can't be,
Speaker 2: You can't be. And then when you ain't heard your
Speaker 2: mama's voice a long time, and you say, when was
Speaker 2: the last time they heard them, say, oh my god, Stevie,
Speaker 2: why you do it to me? Yeah?
Speaker 6: Yeah, let's talk this R and B thing. Man, Come on,
Speaker 6: let's because the R and B roster. I also had
Speaker 6: an opportunity to be an event that you obviously, you
Speaker 6: know when you know you snoop when you show up,
Speaker 6: you show out, but you know you held the event
Speaker 6: down and you actually, you know, you closed the event
Speaker 6: the Cardier Okay, Gamma event, Yes, sir, you know what
Speaker 6: I mean that you also grace yourself. But brought your
Speaker 6: artists October London there and there was a moment and
Speaker 6: you know my relationship with Larry, we come up together
Speaker 6: in San Francisco. You know, that's been my nigga for
Speaker 6: you know, many moons that I pulled him to the side.
Speaker 6: And I didn't even tell you this, but I pulled
Speaker 6: him to the side. I said, I don't know if
Speaker 6: I've ever seen an artist, it's you're a artist. First
Speaker 6: ever introduce someone signed to them? This way and support
Speaker 6: someone in this manner because we.
Speaker 1: All know everybody.
Speaker 6: You know, you signed artists, people got even just and
Speaker 6: even from us, even from the CEO standpoint.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the way you showed up for him, which listen,
Speaker 1: you told the Cardia people. You know you listen.
Speaker 6: You know y'all couldn't pay me enough to come to
Speaker 6: this motherfucker. I'm here because and I know you kept

Speaker 2: We leave by example. We leave by example.
Speaker 6: Everybody can write the check once you in a position,

Speaker 2: It's development. It's artist development. Like I've really worked with
Speaker 2: developing him and I'm so proud of him, and I
Speaker 2: want people to know how much I love him and
Speaker 2: how great he means to how great he is to
Speaker 2: the music industry. Like when you're introducing a new voice
Speaker 2: in the new sound, you should protect that. And I
Speaker 2: protect him like he want a mine because he is
Speaker 2: one of mine, you know what I'm saying. So it's
Speaker 2: like for me to stand with him shows you that
Speaker 2: you can't play with him, you know what I'm saying, Like,
Speaker 2: that's what that means with Okay, dog is really with him?
Speaker 2: I can't play with him. Don't try to slide, no
Speaker 2: back door offers or no see we can get him
Speaker 2: away if we can try to sway, and he'll tell
Speaker 2: you any kind of deal that he get. I never
Speaker 2: try to sway my way. For example, if it's a
Speaker 2: publishing situation, right, he been with me long you would
Speaker 2: think that he's with my publishing company or publish mm hmm.
Speaker 2: Go get you the best publishing deal for you. What's

Speaker 2: when we start selling this ship or moving this ship
Speaker 2: into different places of the media world, we're a partner still,
Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying. It's not like one's bigger
Speaker 2: than the others. Like we need each other. I can't

Speaker 2: real records, that you're gonna do shit with substance and
Speaker 2: car and consciousness because you gotta live with these records.
Speaker 2: You have to go perform these records. So I don't
Speaker 2: want you to be saying shit you ain't gonna be
Speaker 2: able to live with ten years from now. We're a
Speaker 2: real record company. We want to make shit that's solid.
Speaker 2: And she she fit the bill. She's the first lady
Speaker 2: on death Row Fire. Yeah, yeah, Yeah.
Speaker 3: My nephew, Charlie over there, Charlie b Rare, Charlie be Rare,
Speaker 3: my guy, my little brother over there.
Speaker 2: Now, Charlie been in the family for a long time.
Speaker 2: He tell me a story about him coming to my
Speaker 2: house as a teenager with his dad. I'm like, I'm
Speaker 2: that old, Like, yeah, when I came to your house,
Speaker 2: we use I said, come on to me that story
Speaker 2: because I don't want to hear that. It's like me
Speaker 2: telling Quincy Jones and Booty Collins and shit like then
Speaker 2: when I was thirteen. I can't in y'all house. But
Speaker 2: that's how much love we have for each other. It's
Speaker 2: like he remembers how I treated him then and how
Speaker 2: I treat him now, and how I developed him and
Speaker 2: how I'm working with developing him. His album has been
Speaker 2: done for over a year, but we have to develop.
Speaker 2: We have to make sure it's introduced the right way.
Speaker 2: It's right pieces to the puzzle. Like today, we just
Speaker 2: dropped his song and Hope, which feels like Martin the
Speaker 2: King's birthday. It feels just just like that. When you
Speaker 2: see it, you're gonna see what I'm saying. It looks
Speaker 2: and feels just like MLK. It's called Hope. His style
Speaker 2: of music is perfect. It's not nothing but his. He's
Speaker 2: loved in the industry. Musicians love him, artists love him,
Speaker 2: and God put him with me so I can put
Speaker 2: a little light on him so he could shine. Come on,
Speaker 2: that's my music. Praise God yeah.
Speaker 1: That record is called Hope Yeah. And then you brought
Speaker 1: back Oh Yeah, Chicago, who is one of my favorite singers.
Speaker 2: I loved me some Danny Boy, and what's so crazy
Speaker 2: he was? I didn't get a chance to work with
Speaker 2: him when we was on death Row. Really didn't know
Speaker 2: that they kept us over there. He was on that side.
Speaker 2: We don't have no music together before. Never thought about
Speaker 2: that name one. There is nothing, That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 2: So when I got death Row back, he was hearing
Speaker 2: mysterious things that I didn't like him and this and that.
Speaker 2: But what he didn't know was I loved him. And
Speaker 2: what I started to do was I followed him on Instagram.
Speaker 2: I started hearing his music on Serious Exam, Hard and Soul,
Speaker 2: and I downloaded his music and then I started posting
Speaker 2: me playing his music on Instagram. Then I hit him
Speaker 2: on DM and said, I love you, nephew, what's happening?
Speaker 2: Come on man, And then brought him out here, put
Speaker 2: him on a couple of projects, did remake a special
Speaker 2: kind of fool with him, and just trying to get
Speaker 2: him back in slowly but surely, but definitely love what
Speaker 2: he brings to the table. He's a part of Death Row,
Speaker 2: and I just want to just keep putting love in
Speaker 2: the air, Like I feel like his voice is connected
Speaker 2: to death Row, So I want him to be a
Speaker 2: part of what we're doing.
Speaker 3: Yeah, now you're being a vessel for sure. One more moment.
Speaker 3: I gotta thank you for Uncle Charlie.
Speaker 2: Come on, yeah, yeah, come on, man, Uncle Charlie saved
Speaker 2: my relationship with my wife. Well, I met Charlie. He
Speaker 2: was at a gas station, wasn't doing too well, and
Speaker 2: I was like, man, I'm gonna hook you up if
Speaker 2: I can when I can. And then val young lady
Speaker 2: v the legend, Yeah, can you can you get him?
Speaker 2: She brought him in the studio with us. And when
Speaker 2: she brought him, he was recovering and he had his
Speaker 2: wife with him. Well, she wasn't his wife. She was
Speaker 2: his counselor at the time, or his person that you
Speaker 2: deal with from the rehabilitation place. And you know, naturally
Speaker 2: we smoking and shit. She pulled me to the side,
Speaker 2: she like, did you guys please not smoke? Like man,
Speaker 2: shut up, but listening to you. Second day she said
Speaker 2: the same thing. Third day, she pulled me to the side.
Speaker 2: She said, if you smoke again, I'm not bringing Charlie back.
Speaker 2: So I was like, AKA, we gotta stop smoking. Wow.
Speaker 2: So but she ended up becoming his wife, He rehabilitated hisself.
Speaker 2: She ended up becoming one of the most special people
Speaker 2: in my life because when me and my wife was
Speaker 2: having rocky you know times, Charlie Wilson checked the shit
Speaker 2: out of me, called me, put me on point, got
Speaker 2: me on deck, and I renewed my vows with my
Speaker 2: wife because of man taught me how to be a man,
Speaker 2: and his wife showed me how to treat a wife.
Speaker 2: So that's what he did for me. So musically, what
Speaker 2: I did for him don't mean ship compared to what
Speaker 2: he did for me personally. Charlie Wilton's heroes and you
Speaker 2: know he a real nigga, so so imagine how he
Speaker 2: was talking to me. If you don't get your bitch

Speaker 2: and cook for you, and they say, don't blame mister Charlie,
Speaker 2: because mister Charlie is only man and he's doing the
Speaker 2: best that he can. But it was about relationships not
Speaker 2: being allowed to break up because family and friends wouldn't
Speaker 2: have it. They would come in and tell the wife,
Speaker 2: don't blame mister Charlie, He's only a man, and then
Speaker 2: they would go to Charlie, you know you got the

Speaker 2: Special Stars. It's a program that we build for kids
Speaker 2: with disabilities and handicaps, and it's been going very successful
Speaker 2: for the past like six seven years. We throw them banquets,
Speaker 2: we take them out of town, we let them play
Speaker 2: different games. I mean they become so to speak, regular,
Speaker 2: because for many years, people wouldn't treat them regular. They
Speaker 2: would always hide them or put them away. Or my
Speaker 2: kid has disabilities and I don't really know how to
Speaker 2: you know, I don't know how you guys are gonna
Speaker 2: act if he shows out or he starts screaming, or

Speaker 2: they get to dance, they get to paint, they get
Speaker 2: the party, they get to learn, they get to be regular,
Speaker 2: like there's no disabilities. They're regular, just like a regular
Speaker 2: kid has a regular good time. We're giving them a
Speaker 2: regular good time and that's my pride. And enjoy it
Speaker 2: because to see so many kids have a good time
Speaker 2: and smile like I cry when I go to those
Speaker 2: events because that ain't what I do it for it,
Speaker 2: but damn it feel good. It feel good to know
Speaker 2: that you can do something for some people and they

Speaker 3: snoop deal doublet you.
Speaker 2: My brother, will I'd like to say that this journey
Speaker 2: of music begins with me at fourteen or one East
Speaker 2: Gaviota Street. That would be the address for God Gotha
Speaker 2: Trinity Baptist Church, home of revenue, Handy T. Vining or
Speaker 2: Richard George Harris. The Flood music by Danny Preston, Angel Guy.
Speaker 2: We'll be doing an AB selection later this evening, but
Speaker 2: just to give you a dibble and dabble into my
Speaker 2: musical journey. Introduced to music at an early age, the
Speaker 2: sounds of gospel music, the sounds of R and B music,
Speaker 2: disco funk all penetrated my ears and eventually rested in
Speaker 2: my heart. To where I graduated to learning music, playing music,
Speaker 2: reciting my favorite songs, enjoying a new style of music
Speaker 2: presented in my teens by the name of hip hop.
Speaker 2: And literally I know that hip hop will take over
Speaker 2: my block NonStop and one day I would be at
Speaker 2: the top. Look how we rock. So from that to this,
Speaker 2: just in case you missed, I took all of my
Speaker 2: musical elements and I put them in a twist and
Speaker 2: I dug deep. I mean deep like the abyss so
Speaker 2: to keep it clean, to cleep it crisp, because I
Speaker 2: know this is something that you want to pay attention to,
Speaker 2: because you just don't want to miss the education, the elevation,

Speaker 2: we smeeze oak and baby with the one and a half, like,
Speaker 2: let me roll up something. So we're like, how you
Speaker 2: gonna do that? So she grabbed that motherfucker with the

Speaker 2: his hand on her leg and she hits him with
Speaker 2: that good arm, and he says, bitch, you've been in

Speaker 2: nineteen were close. Yes, I'm who you could be. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I could actually be who you could be. Yeah, it's touchable,
Speaker 2: it's believable. I get that.
Speaker 1: And you was a flying nigga. Yeah that's the other part, bro.
Speaker 1: So for me this interview, But the Bays.
Speaker 2: Influenced a lot of that thing. You know that, right? Yeah?
Speaker 2: I didn't tell you all this, right. So when Tupac
Speaker 2: come to death Row, he like, nigga, you gotta step
Speaker 2: your fly up, nigga, you gotta get your hair done,
Speaker 2: your nails dead nigga. Like the players in the bay. Nigga, Wow,
Speaker 2: oh that's when you see me start flipping it. And
Speaker 2: when we walked when we did the two of America's
Speaker 2: Most Warning video, he specifically said, nigga like, Nigga, I
Speaker 2: ain't got no hair, Nigga, lay your ship down. Nigga
Speaker 2: like you know what I'm saying. Kicking off with that, yeah,
Speaker 2: because he had a vision of knowing like he was
Speaker 2: way ahead of us. We was just artists. He was
Speaker 2: a superstar. You see what I'm saying. That's just the truth.
Speaker 2: You know, he probably wasn't a big ass superstar, but
Speaker 2: he was a superstar as far as knowing and understanding
Speaker 2: what it takes to be a star. He had been
Speaker 2: in movies, he had been on setting and he knew
Speaker 2: that death Rod was big. But it was certain things
Speaker 2: that we was doing that he helped us get great at,
Speaker 2: like spontaneous making music and putting shit out and just
Speaker 2: he taught us that he got. He gave us a
Speaker 2: different spirit on working and like studio time became valuable
Speaker 2: when he was there before, it was just like niggas
Speaker 2: in there nine hours. Now it's like a nigga pob
Speaker 2: coming up here looking to work whoever in their bulls
Speaker 2: shoodn't got to get out or either he got a
Speaker 2: studio locked up for twelve hours, and Snoop got up
Speaker 2: one locked up for twelve hours. So it's got to
Speaker 2: be what y'all making while y'all in here, right, And
Speaker 2: as I move with death row now his spirit is
Speaker 2: all in me, like that's how I move. I don't wait.
Speaker 2: I used to wait. I used to just wait til
Speaker 2: we make a record with me and me, and you
Speaker 2: make a record, me and Tank gonna listen to it
Speaker 2: three weeks in a row before we can get to
Speaker 2: another song, because it's so good. This shit is so dope. Well,

Speaker 2: things where it's not a come and go, it's a
Speaker 2: stay forever and we're gonna take our time like we
Speaker 2: always do when we drop projects. What people don't understand
Speaker 2: is that they never just come out. They always lay
Speaker 2: out it's a layout for this particular single, and then
Speaker 2: that one rides for months, and then another one comes
Speaker 2: and rides for months, and then by the time you
Speaker 2: get to the end of the year, you're like, damn,
