Speaker 3: to the interview. All right, man, Look, Boulet Cab podcast.
Speaker 3: This is actually the five hundredth episode and it's only right.
Speaker 3: We have quite possibly the greatest of all time Snoop
Speaker 3: Dogg five hundred, five hundred.
Speaker 2: Man, that's crazy. I like that number.
Speaker 3: It's a great number.
Speaker 2: Yeah, times five, yo.
Speaker 3: I gotta tell you. I always tell the story about
Speaker 3: how your album Dog You Style like changed the trajectory
Speaker 3: of my life. M because when I was like six
Speaker 3: years old, my grandma You remember, Columbia House used to
Speaker 3: send like fifteen out albums for like a penny.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Sure, So my grandma somehow got DOGI Style in the
Speaker 3: maule on tape.
Speaker 2: Good shot shot off to Grandma.
Speaker 3: I wanted to keep it, but she had no I
Speaker 3: don't think she meant to.
Speaker 2: It the fuck. She did the right thing, good shit, Granny.
Speaker 1: See, I'm a grandfather, so sometimes grandparents do shit that
Speaker 1: y'all don't understand.
Speaker 3: So it was like, obviously a cartoon cover, so that's
Speaker 3: what she went for. So she gave it to me,
Speaker 3: and I fucking like, within I don't know three weeks,
Speaker 3: knew the whole album, like front to back, every skit
Speaker 3: by heart. I mean literally, by the time my mom
Speaker 3: heard me listening to it and took it from me,
Speaker 3: it was too late. It was over with and your sister,
Speaker 3: it was over.
Speaker 2: When your DNA.
Speaker 1: Yes, let it go, Grandma. I got to get Grandma
Speaker 1: shout out. Man, that's see, that's g ship right there.
Speaker 1: When your grandparents have a forward way of thinking and
Speaker 1: knowing that my grandson is going to be somebody, I
Speaker 1: got to put this in his DNA to make sure
Speaker 1: when he gets to the point where he's at that
Speaker 1: it's all way any and not only.
Speaker 3: Yeah, always say that that that album to change my life.
Speaker 2: Man, thank you boy.
Speaker 3: I'm here, I'm here, I'm here a lot because the
Speaker 3: dog style bro that album.
Speaker 1: That album was a It was a fun experience because
Speaker 1: being a young rapper and being so infatuated with Doctor
Speaker 1: Tryan and wa being able to work with him on
Speaker 1: the Chronic and then to say okay, it's my turn
Speaker 1: for my album you mean already like right now? Like yeah,
Speaker 1: Like that was an amazing because I had all my
Speaker 1: homies with me too, the people that I had started with,
Speaker 1: the people that you know watched me growing to the
Speaker 1: MC that I became, and then to have Doctor dre
Speaker 1: perfect my craft with DC and the whole team, it
Speaker 1: was a blessing.
Speaker 2: Yo.
Speaker 3: I was curious, like the like were you the brain
Speaker 3: child behind the skits? Because when we're talking about like
Speaker 3: using skips, skits within an album, just memorable skits, I
Speaker 3: think about the beginning of Jesu and Hustlers with like
Speaker 3: the school Teacher and even like the bathtub intro, the
Speaker 3: Murder was the case intro, Like I feel like skits
Speaker 3: are a lost art form and I can't think of
Speaker 3: more iconic skits than on Doggy Style.
Speaker 2: That's the fact.
Speaker 1: Well, you got to understand, Doctor Dre was learning me.
Speaker 1: We had just finished the Chronic album. We just forged
Speaker 1: the friendship. We had been together for about a year,
Speaker 1: and we started like hanging together like every day, like
Speaker 1: just me and him, like and we pulled away from
Speaker 1: everybody else. So he was learning the things that I
Speaker 1: loved and liked while he was crafting my album. And
Speaker 1: when we would be together, we would always either listen
Speaker 1: to old school music or I will pop in the
Speaker 1: VCR of an old black you know, explotation movie and
Speaker 1: he would get that and get my spirit and say, Okay,
Speaker 1: when we make your record, not only do I have
Speaker 1: to capture your sound, but I gotta capture the essence
Speaker 1: of who you are and that's sometimes isn't in the music,
Speaker 1: it's in an inner sketch or skit before the song
Speaker 1: or after the song. So we creatively came up with
Speaker 1: things that made sense, like the shit.
Speaker 2: Would Nigga yo bitch chose me?
Speaker 3: Yep.
Speaker 1: I always loved that scene in the Maget and then
Speaker 1: the bathtub scene is from Superfly when he trying to
Speaker 1: get out and Eddie telling him to stay in.
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: So it's like you're getting all these movies scenes instilled
Speaker 1: into my album because I'm such a fan of that.
Speaker 1: And Dre as a producer captured every element of Snoop Dogg,
Speaker 1: which was funny, gangster real.
Speaker 3: And it's crazy too because I think back to like
Speaker 3: the way that the Chronic. You were the first voice
Speaker 3: on the Chronic, but you weren't the first voice on
Speaker 3: Doggie Style. No Rage, Lady of Rage just blacked the
Speaker 3: fuck out to kick that album.
Speaker 1: Off right, So it was Rage and George Clinton well
Speaker 1: the first voices on my album, and Doctor Dre. He
Speaker 1: has a different way of thinking. He always know what
Speaker 1: he's doing and we never know what the fuck he's doing.
Speaker 1: But when he finishes, the shit sounds amazing. He knew
Speaker 1: that he wanted Rage on the intro because Rage was
Speaker 1: supposed to be next up with the album. Yeah, so
Speaker 1: that's what that set up was about, hearing her voice.
Speaker 3: First, kind of like you were next up with the Chronic.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was his train of thought. But it didn't
Speaker 1: come to life, but that was his train of thought
Speaker 1: for sure.
Speaker 3: It's crazy, man. I think I ran through the entire
Speaker 3: album last night for a couple of times. The new
Speaker 3: album Missionary, it's different, and I feel like it's like
Speaker 3: kind of like an evolved I mean, cause if you
Speaker 3: kind of go through the years of like even like
Speaker 3: between Doggy Style to you guys getting back together for
Speaker 3: two thousand and one, and obviously you guys have done
Speaker 3: music since then, you know, but there's some shit on
Speaker 3: this album and that's like, like the Tom Petty jelly
Speaker 3: Roll record is crazy, like talk about because I saw
Speaker 3: you went out to jelly Rolls Nashville show, which you
Speaker 3: know was super dope shot the jelly. But how did
Speaker 3: like the idea of bringing jelly roll onto the album
Speaker 3: come up?
Speaker 1: Well, when we got the concept right to beat the hook,
Speaker 1: my verse, Dray didn't want me to come with a
Speaker 1: second verse because I had a second verse on there.
Speaker 2: He was like, nah, we need to get somebody on it.
Speaker 1: So they start throwing names out, like all kinds of names,
Speaker 1: big name artists, country artists, this style of artists, and
Speaker 1: the shit just didn't match. It didn't feel like. Then
Speaker 1: the motherfucker said jelly Roll, and the whole room lit up.
Speaker 1: Was like, that's the nigga him, and so we reached out.
Speaker 1: And when we reached out, Drey was gonna send him
Speaker 1: the track. Jelly Roll was like, no, I.
Speaker 2: Want to pull up.
Speaker 3: Yeah, for sure.
Speaker 2: He told me he came through. So I wasn't even
Speaker 2: there though. So that's how gangsta it was.
Speaker 1: It was like I had to hear it after the fact,
Speaker 1: and I didn't even meet him until I went to Nashville.
Speaker 2: Oh you didn't meet him. It's first time meeting him.
Speaker 3: You got to meet Bunny, his wife, and the wife, his.
Speaker 1: Whole team, his cruel, his best friend, and his other
Speaker 1: best friend. This motherfucker had five best friends like this.
Speaker 1: How they came in introduced me, Hey Snoop, I'm jelly
Speaker 1: Roll's best friend. Look take my hand. Then so was
Speaker 1: he finished, Hey Snoop, I'm jelly Roll's other best friend.
Speaker 1: Then motherfucker. Hey Snoop Dogg. I'm Jelly Roll's real best friend.
Speaker 1: I'm the one that discovered.
Speaker 2: All this shit.
Speaker 1: I said, I love Jelly Row because he got the
Speaker 1: same kind of crew I got.
Speaker 2: My homies loved me the same way.
Speaker 1: If you ask seven of my homies right now, they
Speaker 1: all gonna tell you, Nigga, I'm his best friend because
Speaker 1: I'm friends with everybody.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yo. I saw you talk about like
Speaker 3: I saw a quote. It was an article you did
Speaker 3: but essentially said that, you know, with this album, you
Speaker 3: kind of wanted to remind people that you're like one
Speaker 3: of the greatest of all time as an MC. Do
Speaker 3: you feel like, one do you care about that conversation?
Speaker 3: And two do you feel like when that conversation happens,
Speaker 3: your name gets brought up enough?
Speaker 1: I mean, I ain't got time to watch my highlights.
Speaker 1: I got a game to play them all here, so
Speaker 1: I can't worry about if I'm into Sports Center Top
Speaker 1: ten or the Hip Hop top ten. I keep putting
Speaker 1: in work, you know what I'm saying. That's one thing
Speaker 1: that's undeniable. You could check my resume. I came out
Speaker 1: in ninety two and this is twenty twenty four, and
Speaker 1: I've been relevant ever since I came out the dough forever.
Speaker 1: In music, let's say that first music first, and then
Speaker 1: other things culturally musically, yes, but music first, every year,
Speaker 1: every decade, and then the other things are my side quest,
Speaker 1: the things that I enjoy doing that I love doing it.
Speaker 1: I want to inspire others to do by taking chances
Speaker 1: on myself, like engaging and believing, believing in me, like
Speaker 1: I don't have to have nobody confirm that I can
Speaker 1: do this or try this. I just do it and
Speaker 1: get it done, and then it becomes you know, spectacular
Speaker 1: and famous and people love it, and hopefully it inspires
Speaker 1: the next generation to try and do it because I
Speaker 1: used to be a shy kid that was afraid to
Speaker 1: make moves and jump out there and do things. And
Speaker 1: now I'm a leader and I want to inspire the
Speaker 1: next man that may be shy or embarrassed to step
Speaker 1: up and become who he's supposed to be.
Speaker 3: I mean, you are the side quest, you know, master,
Speaker 3: I would say.
Speaker 2: Well, me and Shaquille O'Neil.
Speaker 3: I'll look, shaq is close, but I feel like you're
Speaker 3: kind of you've ran away with it for a while.
Speaker 1: But that's what I do do I do usually run
Speaker 1: away with it, you know what I'm saying. That's what
Speaker 1: I've been known to do. I'm a closer. You know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. A lot of guys are relief pictures.
Speaker 1: I'm a closer. I close shit. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: When I get up there, expect a w because I
Speaker 1: play hard, I practice hard, I study and I respect
Speaker 1: the game. And when you do all those things, it
Speaker 1: usually ends up in a successful way.
Speaker 3: I was gonna say, man like throughout like the last
Speaker 3: thirty years, we've seen you have so many business ventures.
Speaker 3: I think till like back in the day, owning like
Speaker 3: Snoop Dogg clothing and like getting it from Burlington co
Speaker 3: Factory as a kid. You know what I'm saying, It
Speaker 3: was Outcast clothing and Snoop dog clothing around the same time.
Speaker 1: Shout out to CADATAI Jones Quincy Jones daughter. She the
Speaker 1: one who took me to a guy by the name
Speaker 1: of Michael Well. She took me to Andy Hill figure
Speaker 1: first and Tommy Hill figure and she got me a
Speaker 1: brand and deal with them. And then she said you
Speaker 1: need to create your own line. Snoop Dogg clothing. She
Speaker 1: gave me the idea, introduced me to the people, and
Speaker 1: that's how Snoop Dogg Clothing got kicked off. And it's
Speaker 1: before she even met Tupac.
Speaker 3: Yet, No Snoop dog Clothing was crazy. It literally was
Speaker 3: like if like if you like it looked like shit,
Speaker 3: you would just Snoop Dogg, like straight out the closet
Speaker 3: is stupid. But I just feel like, you know, even
Speaker 3: like going into the crypto space, like I feel like
Speaker 3: you were like a real pioneer when it comes to
Speaker 3: like showing artists like that, there is this other world
Speaker 3: in which you can kind of monetize, you know. I
Speaker 3: feel like maybe three years ago, there was people spending
Speaker 3: serious money to have digital real estate next to your house.
Speaker 1: In sandbox niggas by buying digital property for hundreds and
Speaker 1: hundreds of thousands of dollars, and the shit was like
Speaker 1: this big and you couldn't touch it. But it was
Speaker 1: the fact that I had went over to that industry
Speaker 1: and I had went on the ground I had started
Speaker 1: from the ground up. I didn't come over there and
Speaker 1: try to grab money. I went over there and I
Speaker 1: built what the creators. I went over there and let
Speaker 1: them use my name, my likeness, did collaborations, you know,
Speaker 1: changed the game, brought music over there, did things in
Speaker 1: an unorthodox way to where it was appealing to that
Speaker 1: world because that world is that same way, and I
Speaker 1: wasn't a superstar to them.
Speaker 2: I was on the ground level with them.
Speaker 1: So whenever I would put something out, they would respect
Speaker 1: it and buy it because I would usually do things
Speaker 1: with them or allow them to use my name on
Speaker 1: my likeness. Early when I first got into that world,
Speaker 1: people was using my face and all kinds of shit.
Speaker 1: My son was like, Pops, you gotta let 'em use it.
Speaker 1: They love you, That's why they doing it. It's not
Speaker 1: that they trying to make money off you.
Speaker 2: They love you.
Speaker 1: And once I understood that, then me and my relationship
Speaker 1: with the metaverse took a whole new lift because it
Speaker 1: was like Wow, Snoopers allowing us to use his face
Speaker 1: and his likeness as a creator and musically use his
Speaker 1: voice and blah blah this and that, and it was
Speaker 1: a connection that can't nobody break cause I built that.
Speaker 3: Nah, that shit's crazy, definitely, uh O the first to
Speaker 3: do that. I mean for sure, but in terms of
Speaker 3: just like the new ventures, like obviously you and Dre
Speaker 3: have a new drink.
Speaker 2: Gin and Juice, the gin and Juice and steal.
Speaker 3: Gen uh w th Like there's just so much. I
Speaker 3: feel like every other week we see something new. What
Speaker 3: is like your bandwidth like on a daily basis? Cause
Speaker 3: I j I mean I see death Row on everything
Speaker 3: I go to the store. There's death Row t shirts
Speaker 3: at Walmart. There's the death Row Happy Dad. You know
Speaker 3: what I'm saying, Like you got to have just I mean,
Speaker 3: the work ethic is still so crazy at this point
Speaker 3: in time in your career, Like how do you kind
Speaker 3: of manage and deal with just all of the ventures?
Speaker 1: What I did, keV, I put a team around me.
Speaker 1: For many years it would be me and a couple
Speaker 1: of people making things happen. So what I did was,
Speaker 1: I got a bigger team, I got a smarter team.
Speaker 1: I got employees or professionals at what they do. And
Speaker 1: then I'm back managed by William Morris and Aria Manuel.
Speaker 1: So positioning myself to get the best out of me
Speaker 1: while I'm putting in the best of my work right
Speaker 1: now and not having to focus on so many different
Speaker 1: things but being the creator, the boss, and the connector.
Speaker 3: I love it. I wanted to ask you about your
Speaker 3: second album because it's an album I feel like doesn't
Speaker 3: get talked about enough. It was probably one of the
Speaker 3: highest anticipated albums of all time because it's obviously the
Speaker 3: follow up The Doggy Style of The dog Father. What
Speaker 3: do you feel like? Because I love that album, like
Speaker 3: that that the you thought record was too short and Superflies?
Speaker 3: But what what do you think kind of went wrong
Speaker 3: with it? Was it like kind of like the beginning
Speaker 3: your the splintering of the relationship with Sugar, Like what
Speaker 3: kind of went wrong you think with dog Father? And
Speaker 3: why it kind of doesn't get looked at in the
Speaker 3: same kind.
Speaker 1: Of You got to think about what the dog Father was?
Speaker 1: What was the dog Father? It was the follow up
Speaker 1: album The Doggy Style, But what it was was Snoop
Speaker 1: Dogg becoming a man. Snoop Dogg realized that he wanted
Speaker 1: to live, that he wanted to separate from the madness,
Speaker 1: and at that time it was looked at as it
Speaker 1: was frowned upon because I was so gangster on my
Speaker 1: intro and so gangster with the way I was living,
Speaker 1: Like why don't you want to be gangster anymore. Well,
Speaker 1: how about I'm fighting a murder case, and when I
Speaker 1: win this murder case, I want to do right by
Speaker 1: the system, by God, by the way I was raised.
Speaker 1: And if the people around me don't get it, if
Speaker 1: the fans don't get it, if the label don't get it,
Speaker 1: fuck them, because in twenty twenty four, I'll be talking
Speaker 1: about why I made that decision, why that record sounds
Speaker 1: like that, why I was hope on that record, why
Speaker 1: I wrote about life more than death. Why I seen
Speaker 1: visions of me becoming a grandfather and living into my
Speaker 1: sixties and seventies by saying the right things in my music.
Speaker 1: Because realizing that the chronic and doggy style and the
Speaker 1: dog pound ap and everything that I had worked on,
Speaker 1: I had wrote all of the things that happened to
Speaker 1: me that were negative. I manifested it. So I wanted
Speaker 1: to write some positive shit.
Speaker 3: To matter ifest some positive shit, and it happened. Would
Speaker 3: you say that going through that trial, which is obviously
Speaker 3: one of the biggest trials in hip hop history, I know.
Speaker 3: I talked to Warren G about it. He said he
Speaker 3: was like, I got interrogated during that shit. You know
Speaker 3: what I mean like, would you say the uncertainty of
Speaker 3: like what your future looked like while you're going through
Speaker 3: that trial like kind of like change, Like because what if,
Speaker 3: like Doggy Style, you had that success and you were
Speaker 3: on that meteoric rise and that trial didn't happen and
Speaker 3: there wasn't something to kind of like shake you up
Speaker 3: a little and be like, hey man, this shit you
Speaker 3: know could get taken away, Like do you feel like that?
Speaker 3: It kind of changed your trajectory as like a man
Speaker 3: and an artist.
Speaker 1: Well, remember my good friend Tupacat got murdered, Sugar gets
Speaker 1: separated from got separated from us. All this happening while
Speaker 1: the dog Father is about to come out and then
Speaker 1: comes out.
Speaker 2: So it's like.
Speaker 1: The label is in disarray, there's death, there's division. I'm
Speaker 1: a crip bluzs and Crips is at it now. Sugar
Speaker 1: ain't fucking with me no more really, So it's like
Speaker 1: you don't really have the push and the support. And
Speaker 1: then the record that I made wasn't as violent or
Speaker 1: as gangster as the first one. So it's like if
Speaker 1: you go see Scarface, or you go see a better analogy,
Speaker 1: you go see a movie with Robert de Narrow where Casino,
Speaker 1: and then you see him in Meet the.
Speaker 3: Foxers ah BO.
Speaker 1: Both great, right, but the gangsters don't want to go
Speaker 1: see him in this family funny movie, but the shit
Speaker 1: is amazing. They only want to see him shooting, chilling mafia.
Speaker 1: That's all they want to see. So my audience was
Speaker 1: brainwashed at the time to think that that's all we did.
Speaker 1: And then you had Tupac smashing on niggas doing the
Speaker 1: gangster shit. I'm wood him on America's Most Warning, but
Speaker 1: then I ain't like that on my album. So it's
Speaker 1: like I'm two people because when I'm with Tupac, I'm
Speaker 1: fighting the murder case, but when I do the dog Father,
Speaker 1: I win the murder case.
Speaker 3: Different.
Speaker 2: So when I'm.
Speaker 1: Fighting he, I'm gonna try to keep a gangster and
Speaker 1: stay down and all that shit. But damn, I got
Speaker 1: these yours looking at me. So when I finished, I
Speaker 1: got to get.
Speaker 2: Back in there.
Speaker 1: I gotta beat this mode, right because you're on probation
Speaker 1: right now, you're on bail.
Speaker 2: I'm fighting a murder case.
Speaker 1: Sugar is in between both, so it's like Dre is
Speaker 1: on the way out and we don't know it.
Speaker 3: Crazy.
Speaker 2: So all this is going on.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and the murder case pre existed because it was
Speaker 1: wild Mark wild Doggie style. It's just dragging on, it's
Speaker 1: just dragging out. So I got to build my best
Speaker 1: behavior so I won't get violated and get took to jail.
Speaker 1: I had a house niggas you know. I had house
Speaker 1: arrest for like six months. Yeah, because I damn near violated.
Speaker 1: It was like walking that fine line trying to keep
Speaker 1: a gangster. Then while I'm keeping a gangster with y'all,
Speaker 1: then eight in the morning, guess where I gotta be
Speaker 1: at in court with a suit on? Right, my client
Speaker 1: is not gang affiliate, Mike client as soon as I leave. Yeah,
Speaker 1: cub woo. It's a double life. Some got to give
Speaker 1: and it's my life. So at the end of the day,
Speaker 1: God gives you the control to control your life, to
Speaker 1: make a decisions. And I made a decision to do
Speaker 1: what I thought was the right thing, which is make
Speaker 1: a record that was aim in that direction to deal
Speaker 1: with what I was dealing with in life.
Speaker 3: In real life, I talked with Damian Young chot to Demiza.
Speaker 3: He had said that you don't get enough credit for
Speaker 3: trying to be a peacemaker during the East Coast West
Speaker 3: Coast drama that was happening. He mentioned the show at
Speaker 3: the Palace. It was like a power one a six show,
Speaker 3: and I guess Biggie pulled up. You guys met backstage.
Speaker 3: Biggie goes on stage. Does I think he did crush
Speaker 3: on you or something like that? And he said that
Speaker 3: you you walked out behind him like while he was
Speaker 3: on stage, like while he was performing, and did your
Speaker 3: you know, your snoop dance and shit, and he was
Speaker 3: just like that was that was never something that you
Speaker 3: would kind of like subscribe to. And I think that's
Speaker 3: obviously you know, well, well, well that we kind of
Speaker 3: know that, But like, was that like something that you
Speaker 3: know just the whole time that was happening. Obviously there's
Speaker 3: a source of words thing. But was that something that
Speaker 3: that never just sat right with you in terms of
Speaker 3: just that whole narrative.
Speaker 1: No, it didn't, because the East Coast was always the
Speaker 1: pinnacle of rap. They was always the gods. They was
Speaker 1: the ones who did it before anybody.
Speaker 3: I mean, you paid how much a slick rick on
Speaker 3: donk oh Man.
Speaker 1: They was the ones who showed us how to do it.
Speaker 1: So we would never want to get into it with
Speaker 1: the inventors or the creators, but a certain situations made
Speaker 1: us feel a certain way because we would never get
Speaker 1: our songs played on radio with certain things that would
Speaker 1: be biased towards us, and it was built up frustration.
Speaker 1: And then you got you know things that's happened in
Speaker 1: the industry with artists being shot at and being shot
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. So it's like it built
Speaker 1: up a hostility that was out of control.
Speaker 2: And I was a part of it. You know, New
Speaker 2: York and New York video was fucking but that was
Speaker 2: after them Nigga shot at us. We went out.
Speaker 1: We went out there to have them be in the video.
Speaker 1: They wouldn't let us sit a radio station. Then they
Speaker 1: us on ers and we didn't say nothing. Seven We
Speaker 1: came up to high ninety seven, so we can tell you, hey,
Speaker 1: New York, we're here to shoot a video. You know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. Dog Brown, pull up, come show us
Speaker 1: some love. We're gonna be a Times Square. They wouldn't
Speaker 1: let us on. Then the word gets out Dog Pound
Speaker 1: Snoop Dogg and Tupac shooting a video and read hood
Speaker 1: brook Brooklyn and we had to exit. So but we
Speaker 1: kept it low. We didn't say nothing. We left it,
Speaker 1: left it alone. And that was sort of kind of
Speaker 1: like why Tupac had like animosity towards me, because he
Speaker 1: knew that that happened to me, and he suspected that
Speaker 1: that happened in it to him by the same circle.
Speaker 1: And I was still willing to forgive.
Speaker 3: Right, you were still willing to be the bigger man.
Speaker 1: When he was locked up, I was the gangster. So
Speaker 1: when he gets out, he expected me to stay the gainst.
Speaker 1: When you watch gangster movies, it's always two gangsters, right,
Speaker 1: and they ride it all the way out and then
Speaker 1: one and then one of them like, man, I'm on.
Speaker 3: It's like Nasa and Belly. Nasa is like I want
Speaker 3: to go to Africa and Tommy Buns is like fuck that.
Speaker 1: But that's life. That's just how it is. It's like
Speaker 1: all of my relationships have been like that. Even with
Speaker 1: me and Warren g when we started off, we was
Speaker 1: tied it in the glove musically, and then it had
Speaker 1: to take a point to where he had to separate
Speaker 1: and do his own shit to create who the fuck
Speaker 1: Warrene is because he would have just been up under
Speaker 1: us and being Dre's little brother. And this now, motherfuckers
Speaker 1: know that's Warren G the creator, g Funk, the regulator.
Speaker 2: He produced this. He did that.
Speaker 3: Only I mean saved deaf Jam as a West Coast artist, right.
Speaker 1: But you don't know the struggle of what it was
Speaker 1: before he got to that point. It wasn't just all right,
Speaker 1: Warren G, go do your own thing. It was maybe
Speaker 1: it's arguments. When you see my biopick.
Speaker 2: You'll see it. I ain't gonna give you too much man.
Speaker 3: Now, he explained a little bit, like he was kind
Speaker 3: of explaining like things got a little weird because he
Speaker 3: was like kind of the only guy who wasn't with
Speaker 3: Death Row and like kind of went and did his
Speaker 3: own thing, right.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And he's the one that brought the main piece
Speaker 1: to death Row, which is facts you.
Speaker 2: Bring the engine and you don't have to get in
Speaker 2: the car.
Speaker 3: That's craziness. That is that's interesting, YO, talk to me
Speaker 3: about you. Obviously getting with Pharrell kind of carved out
Speaker 3: another era of your career. Paid the cost to be
Speaker 3: the boss. Rhythmic Gangs to These were albums that I
Speaker 3: feel like are are kind of like up there with
Speaker 3: any of your bodies of work. Also shots of Blue
Speaker 3: Carmont Treatment that's one of my favorites. And last meal
Speaker 3: time Blue car Treatment so good.
Speaker 2: That's just so hard. Oh my god, that's my ship.
Speaker 3: But you like like being locked in with Dre in
Speaker 3: a way that you have the level you have. You've
Speaker 3: also worked with guys like DJ Premier throughout your career,
Speaker 3: like you've worked with the greatest of all time, Tim Molann,
Speaker 3: et cetera. But but like catching like that vibe with
Speaker 3: Pharrell where you guys are able to like really kind
Speaker 3: of ride a wave and like have multiple I mean,
Speaker 3: drop it like it's hot. It's like I mean as
Speaker 3: big a record that you have, you know what I mean,
Speaker 3: Like how cool is that to kind of like get
Speaker 3: in a group because a lot of people can get
Speaker 3: in with producers and like, hey, Pharrel made the album.
Speaker 3: We got a single, but you guys got into like
Speaker 3: a real I mean the Bush album was Dope slept
Speaker 3: on too.
Speaker 2: You know what people don't know about for real?
Speaker 1: This is what I really love about Cuz when he
Speaker 1: worked with me, when we was doing the first couple
Speaker 1: of things that we did, all he wanted to do
Speaker 1: was be around my gangster homies as R and B
Speaker 1: as he is and as melodic as he is.
Speaker 2: He was so infatuated with like, Snoop, bring your homies
Speaker 2: up here, cuffs, have your homies up here. Cut.
Speaker 1: He's just just like that. He's like, that's how he
Speaker 1: talked with being your homies up here, he cut, and
Speaker 1: all my homies like I want the worst of the
Speaker 1: worst of your homies, the one that steals, the one
Speaker 1: that are getting to fight, or what I need.
Speaker 3: I want these studio sessions to be a real liability.
Speaker 2: I want niggas up here. It's so many words.
Speaker 1: So I would bring all the niggas up there and
Speaker 1: that he would get. Like to me, he did what
Speaker 1: Dre did with Doggy's chaff. He had to learn me,
Speaker 1: but he had to learn my elements. And you can't
Speaker 1: just do that sit in the studio with me. You
Speaker 1: got to see me around my people. You got to
Speaker 1: see how I interact with my people. You got to
Speaker 1: get the vibe busts and when we made those records.
Speaker 1: He even allowed people like LT Hunting to produce tracks.
Speaker 1: He allowed Jelly Roll and other people to present because
Speaker 1: he knew that they was a part of my team,
Speaker 1: so it wasn't like it was a produced by Forarral
Speaker 1: top to bottom. He had the majority of it. But
Speaker 1: he allowed, hey man, your home way over there. Bring
Speaker 1: him in there, don't you do beats, Let's see what
Speaker 1: he got like. He was that type of you know,
Speaker 1: collaborated with me to where it was like we had
Speaker 1: fun together, and he was interesting because he wanted to
Speaker 1: tap in to this gangster shit. Then when we was
Speaker 1: into it with sug Knight, that's when he was trying
Speaker 1: to pull up. He was like, hold on, wait a minute,
Speaker 1: y'all really into it with the nigga, said, nigga, don't trip, nigga,
Speaker 1: stay out with this cripshit.
Speaker 2: Nigga.
Speaker 1: We got this nigga and then once we handle Cuz
Speaker 1: he was able to see all of that to see
Speaker 1: how the situation resolved not with violence, but which is
Speaker 1: standing up and being a man and putting your foot down.
Speaker 3: And then it's and then like that Bush album me
Speaker 3: all there, I don't know that ship is done.
Speaker 1: I get talked about that overseas. They love that. That
Speaker 1: was a great big hit overseas.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and it was I think the like what I
Speaker 3: like I bought the CD, and I think the CD
Speaker 3: reminded me like the old No Limit cases because it
Speaker 3: was like a solid color case.
Speaker 2: Did you see the videos to Thattu, Yeah, for sure.
Speaker 1: The Stevie Wonder woan was amazing, the one with Charlie Wilson,
Speaker 1: like his thought process to me that when I'm not
Speaker 1: hearing on this earth anymore is when that record is
Speaker 1: going to be thoroughly appreciated because it's so dynamic and
Speaker 1: it's so futuristic that it was so ahead of its time.
Speaker 1: People were so used to hearing me and him do
Speaker 1: slappers and bangers, but we went to a whole other
Speaker 1: region with that.
Speaker 3: I want to talk about, Like, I just watched your
Speaker 3: cam interview and I know you touched a lot on
Speaker 3: your No Limit era. I remember the anticipation because I
Speaker 3: was a big MASTERP fan, like, ghetto dopeses my shit.
Speaker 2: I have my shit too.
Speaker 1: My home boy Badass Rest in Peace pulled up on
Speaker 1: me in a Cadillac and he was like, Doggie, dog,
Speaker 1: you gotta hit this shit, and he put the cassette
Speaker 1: in and ghetto Dope and I fell in love with him.
Speaker 3: No Limit and whole fire. But when you first dropped
Speaker 3: the game is to be Sold, not to be Told,
Speaker 3: and you had like the like the no Limit style
Speaker 3: cover and it was like your first I remember like
Speaker 3: running to the Wear. I think I saved my money.
Speaker 3: I might have sold some older CDs to get that motherfucker.
Speaker 3: But that album felt to me like it was like
Speaker 3: you go into No Limits world as to where uh,
Speaker 3: top Dog felt to me like you brought back. Yeah,
Speaker 3: now y'all got to come over here.
Speaker 2: Last Meal. Last Meal was straight see what you don't know? Three?
Speaker 3: Last Week is my favorite.
Speaker 2: Last Meal.
Speaker 1: Doctor Dre mixed it from top to bottom, every song
Speaker 1: on there.
Speaker 3: So when you were working on Last Meal, where you
Speaker 3: also simultaneously working on.
Speaker 2: Two thousand and one and the East Siders.
Speaker 3: Because we didn't get two thousand and one until after
Speaker 3: Last Meal.
Speaker 1: Right, last Meal, East Siders first album and Chronic two
Speaker 1: thousand and one time, and then we started working on
Speaker 1: the Wash because we had wrote the Wash while we
Speaker 1: did the Up a Smoke.
Speaker 3: Dude very slept on the soundtrack.
Speaker 2: Come on the.
Speaker 3: Nocturnalment that motherfucker. No but Last Meal. I remember when
Speaker 3: when Dre was on the there's the voicemail.
Speaker 2: On that Snoop.
Speaker 1: I've been listening to your album and I ain't saying
Speaker 1: nothing on this whole motherfucker on Layloy Laylo. But he
Speaker 1: sequenced the whole album. He mixed everybody's song. Everybody gave
Speaker 1: him the music. He sequest the Snoop Snoop Snoop, all
Speaker 1: that into boom boom boom boom into that, into all
Speaker 1: of that. He sequenced everything, even the ark yelly song
Speaker 1: crazy that's that ship.
Speaker 2: Yeah, me and DLC wrote that.
Speaker 3: By the way, very slept on our record. That record
Speaker 3: was big, big record at radio.
Speaker 2: No Me.
Speaker 1: I used to perform that record with COUD when he
Speaker 1: was on the street. He's nigga that regular shooes nigga
Speaker 1: Young Chank kank kank Kang guanank kankankankank kank Gang.
Speaker 2: Shout out to my nigga nots for making that beat
Speaker 2: about the.
Speaker 3: Vah Yeah, oh man, But I'm curious, like, uh there.
Speaker 3: I remember having a bootleg version of the album that
Speaker 3: was supposed to come out, the fuck Death Row album.
Speaker 3: There was like a I don't know if I don't
Speaker 3: know how official it was, but I had like a
Speaker 3: napster downloaded version of like a fake Snoop Dogg album,
Speaker 3: but it was all it was you, But like that
Speaker 3: was an album You're gonna drop with Mac.
Speaker 1: Ten Yeah, and a couple of songs that got out
Speaker 1: because one of the engineers that I had worked ended
Speaker 1: up going to work for Death Row and was sugared
Speaker 1: him trying to put out that Walking Dead album.
Speaker 2: He slid them a field.
Speaker 3: Oh I remember that album. This Death Row chronic two
Speaker 3: thousand comes out. There's a guy on there that sounds
Speaker 3: just like.
Speaker 2: You, Top Doll.
Speaker 3: Oh he's he It's almost like like they went out
Speaker 3: and they were like, we have to find a Snoop
Speaker 3: Dogg impersonator to try to fool people. And then the
Speaker 3: name top Dog. You had an album called top Dog.
Speaker 3: You know, right, what were your thoughts when you heard that?
Speaker 1: Just that whole I was like, this nigga Sugar is
Speaker 1: a real hater. Like That's what my thoughts was, you
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying at the time. But then master
Speaker 1: P had seized me to like forgive and to move
Speaker 1: forward and not look back. Yeah, So I had to
Speaker 1: get trained into not paying attention to it because it
Speaker 1: was so much of it going on, Like every time
Speaker 1: I would try to drop or Dre would drop.
Speaker 3: There would be something where if someone went to a
Speaker 3: record store they'd see something else next to it and
Speaker 3: be like, wait, what what's this?
Speaker 2: And then like the dead Man walking shit.
Speaker 3: I forgot about that.
Speaker 1: And then my fuck death Row album had leaked a
Speaker 1: little bit of it because one of the guys that
Speaker 1: was my engineers had ended up getting paid off by
Speaker 1: death Row to work for them, and he slid a
Speaker 1: couple of my songs over there. And that's when they
Speaker 1: started creating finding somebody to sound like me?
Speaker 2: Can you believe that?
Speaker 1: It's like they did a talent search to find a
Speaker 1: nigga that sound like me, which to me, it was
Speaker 1: like I was. I was happy, like I'm really on
Speaker 1: your nigga's mind, like that where y'all trying.
Speaker 3: To find a nigga that sound you can't just find
Speaker 3: someone new, right.
Speaker 1: And it's like, okay, so I must be hurting, y'all.
Speaker 1: And that's what put me on a mission. I started,
Speaker 1: like when I went to make music. After that, my
Speaker 1: mission was to make great fucking music. And I think
Speaker 1: I went on a mission for like six straight years.
Speaker 3: So you went on a run.
Speaker 2: Like Snoop Dogg wasn't playing with nobody.
Speaker 1: Yeah, doing songs with everybody, putting people on, making sure
Speaker 1: my records was right, doing big tours.
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: Getting down in the mixtape world, like whatever was coming out,
Speaker 1: I was always ahead of it.
Speaker 2: Even with fifty cent was open enough for me.
Speaker 1: And we showed g Unit how to get his background
Speaker 1: right because in the beginning they just was up there.
Speaker 1: So I had the dog panting, all my crew with me,
Speaker 1: so fifty would come in my dress room, we chop
Speaker 1: it up. I give him a little piece of game.
Speaker 1: Then before you know it, his show got right. Hold on,
Speaker 1: don't do that in the club. Shouldn't be your first song.
Speaker 1: That's got to be your last song. You can't come
Speaker 1: out to that. That's at the back boom. Take him
Speaker 1: on the road again. This time were on the road.
Speaker 1: He dropped one of the niggas off the tour and
Speaker 1: ended up making it his tour. And now it's just
Speaker 1: me and him.
Speaker 2: Then I got a.
Speaker 1: Band rocking with the band. Next time I see him
Speaker 1: on the road, he rocking with a band. So it's
Speaker 1: like we learn, we teach, we give information. When you associated,
Speaker 1: you affiliated. And I've been able to like take my
Speaker 1: career and give game to other people and receive game
Speaker 1: along the way.
Speaker 3: Yeah, for sure, during that kind of time where you
Speaker 3: and and Sugar going back and forth, whether it be
Speaker 3: you know, publicly or not, would you ever have thought
Speaker 3: that like death Throw would be yours one day. Like
Speaker 3: it's kind of crazy if you really think about it,
Speaker 3: because you had you had your label Doghouse, which had
Speaker 3: like doll these angels in the east Side is and
Speaker 3: but fast forward and you I feel like you've taken
Speaker 3: the death Row brand and like it's everywhere. Dude, Like
Speaker 3: I feel like you've slapped that motherfucker on what, Like
Speaker 3: you got that licensing shit going crazy, But.
Speaker 1: That's what you're supposed to do. Like my thing was
Speaker 1: getting it cleaning it up. I had to clean up
Speaker 1: the bullshit first because it was so much negative energy
Speaker 1: around it. People was afraid of what Sug was gonna
Speaker 1: think and how you know the industry would react to
Speaker 1: doing business but with death Row considering knowing that this
Speaker 1: nigga would be in the back trying to hate us,
Speaker 1: saying things negative. But I was like, I'm just gonna
Speaker 1: clean up all of this shit, give it a whole
Speaker 1: new approach, walk it out in a different light, and
Speaker 1: move with love as the purpose of Death Row Records.
Speaker 1: They connect the dots that they didn't do, like, they
Speaker 1: didn't do none of the things that I'm doing with
Speaker 1: the label, and they had it way longer than me.
Speaker 1: I ain't had the label for two years and I've
Speaker 1: done more things that's been done with this label in
Speaker 1: thirty years.
Speaker 3: I mean, the October London Kid is incredible, thank you,
Speaker 3: and then obviously the new Dog Panama is crazy, east
Speaker 3: Side is are back?
Speaker 1: You're I mean D Smoked Smoke. I want D Smoke
Speaker 1: on Death Row Records. I'll say it publicly. We always
Speaker 1: talk about it. We need to figure it out.
Speaker 3: I know we've been talked about. I know it was
Speaker 3: in the air.
Speaker 2: I'm not ashamed to say I won't de Smoke of
Speaker 2: from Inglewood.
Speaker 1: I live over here now, I'm in the Inglewood area,
Speaker 1: and he's such a factor to the hip hop game,
Speaker 1: to the community to just like even how I met
Speaker 1: him on that show.
Speaker 3: Yeah that's true. And when you ask him where you're
Speaker 3: from right now? But where are you from?
Speaker 1: And I'm checking him trying to see if he a
Speaker 1: gang member, was he a rapper right, and come to
Speaker 1: find out he becomes my brother.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and one of the best guys, shocking him and Sir.
Speaker 1: Bro won't you and Inglewood, Sir Davean, I take the
Speaker 1: whole family.
Speaker 2: We're playing with me.
Speaker 3: In twenty eleven, I want to say, there's a historical
Speaker 3: moment yourself corrupt the game. I'm missing somebody else. Essentially
Speaker 3: passed the torch to Kendrick Lamar on stage. Yes, yes,
Speaker 3: Kendrick gets emotional. I think that was like a real
Speaker 3: turning point.
Speaker 1: Well, at that time the game, he was the one
Speaker 1: that was carrying the tour. He was fucking carrying the
Speaker 1: toys game, was sucking it up, he was getting it in,
Speaker 1: he was busting, he was battling niggas, he was keeping
Speaker 1: the gangster. He was taking niggas on tour, selling hell
Speaker 1: of records. But he was doing g shit and we
Speaker 1: shouldn't forget that. A lot of times we run past
Speaker 1: him to get to the game.
Speaker 3: Had a grand I mean, he was holding the West Coast.
Speaker 1: That's why he was on stage when Kendrick was presented
Speaker 1: that because it was all a part of us seeing
Speaker 1: that he was the next in line. That's how we
Speaker 1: do it on the West, we give it to who
Speaker 1: was accordingly running the show, so game naturally on stage
Speaker 1: with me, we felt like he didn't won. And it
Speaker 1: wasn't no discussion that we had three weeks ago. That
Speaker 1: shit happened right there.
Speaker 3: What happened on the spot.
Speaker 1: This nigga was fucking it up. We in the crowd
Speaker 1: watching this nigga fuck it up. I'm sitting with Doctor
Speaker 1: Dre and the crowd watching this nigga fuck it up,
Speaker 1: and I'm like, I gotta go on stage with this nigga.
Speaker 2: Dream. I'm sorry, I can't be in the crowd.
Speaker 1: So I go on stage and he do another song,
Speaker 1: then another song, and they look over at me and
Speaker 1: they had me to mic. I'm like, man, fuck all
Speaker 1: this shit, nigga, this nigga.
Speaker 2: Is the king.
Speaker 1: And everybody agreed, and that nigga broke down in tears.
Speaker 1: And it was beautiful because I watch him now and
Speaker 1: I see all the work he put in before he
Speaker 1: took the crown and after he got the crown.
Speaker 2: He is a true king.
Speaker 3: When you heard him talk about your and whacked out
Speaker 3: mirros and posting the tailor freestyle, I I saw you
Speaker 3: retweet it and say it was the Edibles. What were
Speaker 3: your thoughts when you first heard.
Speaker 1: That's my nephew. Man, he's a rapper man. He's supposed
Speaker 1: to speak his mind and tell his truth. Yeah, that's
Speaker 1: the way he felt, you know what I'm saying. And
Speaker 1: he has the right to say that. I'm his big
Speaker 1: home boy, So I have to take what's given to
Speaker 1: me from his perspective because he's speaking truth, and the
Speaker 1: truth shouldn't hurt you, It should make you better.
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: I'm one to accept truth when it's brought to me directly.
Speaker 1: He feels that I shouldn't have played that damn I
Speaker 1: was on him edibles, my Nigga, I gotta be more
Speaker 1: careful you, right, nephew.
Speaker 3: I mean there was like an AI transposed version of
Speaker 3: you on that song, which was crazy, right, Like Yeah,
Speaker 3: that shit was diabolically like I don't even know, like
Speaker 3: one of the weirdest things.
Speaker 1: But the crazy part is I can say it. What
Speaker 1: happened was what had happened was That's how Nigga said.
Speaker 1: What had happened was I did a collaborative post with someone.
Speaker 2: You know, you do a.
Speaker 1: Collaborative post and you do a lot of those, right,
Speaker 1: So when I do it, I don't listen to the music.
Speaker 2: I just see Jen and Juice because it's my brand. Right.
Speaker 1: So when I posted, I'm thinking I'm posting Jen and Juice.
Speaker 1: I don't know what song it says. I don't I'm
Speaker 1: not hip to everybody's music.
Speaker 2: Right. Then I get the word Nephew didn't like what
Speaker 2: you did? What did I do? You play some music?
Speaker 3: What music?
Speaker 2: Then I had to go look at them. I'm like, oh,
Speaker 2: that's cuz damn.
Speaker 1: So then I deleted it, called nephew, left him a
Speaker 1: message because he ain't picked up. He was working on
Speaker 1: this shit. I left him a message, Nephew, it's uncle Snoop.
Speaker 1: I got the message. I apologize. I was fucked up.
Speaker 1: My bad.
Speaker 3: Did you feel like at all, like weird about like that?
Speaker 3: Like Drake using your voice?
Speaker 1: Man? I don't want to be in nobody's shit. Man,
Speaker 1: I like being in my own shit. You know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying.
Speaker 3: Because you didn't know that was happening. No, I didn't
Speaker 3: to me like if you were gonna do that, like
Speaker 3: you should like tap in, like, hey, I'm gonna use
Speaker 3: your voice on some shit.
Speaker 2: But see I'm such a big figure. It's I'm Uncle Snoop.
Speaker 1: I'm accessible to everybody, so everybody feels like they can
Speaker 1: because I don't have too many parameters when they come
Speaker 1: to me. But when it comes to beef, that's a
Speaker 1: real parameter that I do have. I don't get in
Speaker 1: nobody's beef. I'm usually the one who ends the beef,
Speaker 1: but if it's out of my reach, then I step
Speaker 1: out and allow two men to get an understanding. And
Speaker 1: that's what I feel like, these two men and two
Speaker 1: rappers should establish where they don't need me to take
Speaker 1: side or jump in. I'm from no West, so my
Speaker 1: heart lies on the West.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Well, when it comes to this ship, you gonna handle
Speaker 1: your business because you from the motherfucking West. You don't
Speaker 1: need no help. And if you needed help, you wouldn't
Speaker 1: have to ask. I would have been on the double.
Speaker 3: That's fair. What are your thoughts on the lawsuit?
Speaker 2: Next question?
Speaker 3: I didn't got to ask.
Speaker 2: Next question? You know, we in on the West, we
Speaker 2: hold court in the streets. Guh.
Speaker 3: Fair See, that's that's all. Yeah, that's a fair point.
Speaker 2: That's just what we call it.
Speaker 3: YO on this new album is there's there's a I
Speaker 3: love the way you ended it. The negotiator was hard,
Speaker 3: it's it's it's a lot of sonics on this album.
Speaker 3: There's a lot of dope, like what I feel like
Speaker 3: what you all were able to do was also like
Speaker 3: shine a light on some features that weren't necessarily like
Speaker 3: household names that have been like doing their thing for
Speaker 3: a while. Was there any anything that didn't get finished
Speaker 3: feature in time for like that almost you knows cross
Speaker 3: the finish line making the album, or that you were
Speaker 3: trying to make happen that just didn't end up working out.
Speaker 2: Nah. We were specific about what we wanted.
Speaker 1: We had a white board in the room, white board,
Speaker 1: not a white boy a board, and the nixt thame
Speaker 1: you had a white boy in the room, white board,
Speaker 1: b old ard, and we would write down, you know,
Speaker 1: the songs accordingly that we thought that would make it.
Speaker 1: And then we had another list called shit out of Luck.
Speaker 1: So the Shit out of Luck was the songs that
Speaker 1: didn't make the album. So we would always look at
Speaker 1: these and then look at Shit out of Luck and
Speaker 1: be like, which one?
Speaker 2: So give you a perfect example.
Speaker 1: It's probably not the answer you're looking for it, but
Speaker 1: I think it's good we had the album right here.
Speaker 2: Then we're looking that Shit out of Luck.
Speaker 1: I don't like this one song on the album, and
Speaker 1: Draine really fucking with it either, So we're trying to
Speaker 1: figure out what should we do.
Speaker 2: Or how can we make it better?
Speaker 1: So I say, hey, that motherfuck over there on Shit
Speaker 1: out of Love, that's a hit if.
Speaker 2: You just touch it. It's sticky, situation, fire, banging fire.
Speaker 2: That motherfucker was over there.
Speaker 3: It wasn't even gonna make the album, no way.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I had to go fish hooking back in and say, cuh, nigga, you.
Speaker 2: Hear what I'm saying on that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, you're going in.
Speaker 1: And you hear if you touch that music and put
Speaker 1: all that and then when it changes into.
Speaker 2: The oh my god, it's an experience for sure.
Speaker 1: So that was one of those records where I had
Speaker 1: to go save it rather than records that didn't make it.
Speaker 3: Was there like other attempts of you guys doing a
Speaker 3: version of this throughout the years, because we always hear
Speaker 3: like Dre is so like I don't know how many
Speaker 3: times we've heard about the Detox and how many times
Speaker 3: it's been restarted, Like did you guys ever attempt to
Speaker 3: do this specific mission of an album and it just
Speaker 3: didn't end up coming to fruition in the past.
Speaker 2: Nope.
Speaker 3: So this is the first time.
Speaker 2: The don't miss.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that motherfucker don't miss when me and him say
Speaker 1: we going in, we're locked in.
Speaker 2: Yeah. We never locked in after this.
Speaker 1: The last time we locked in was the last meal
Speaker 1: when it was like, Hey, card I need you to
Speaker 1: mix my album and I sat up there with him
Speaker 1: and he mixed every song, but he didn't produce every song,
Speaker 1: but he heard all of my lyrics on every song.
Speaker 1: So when I got to certain songs, when we got
Speaker 1: to that's that shit, he was like, you got you
Speaker 1: in DLC, gotta write this again. So he made me
Speaker 1: like rewrite certain things, and when we did the wrong idea,
Speaker 1: he loved badass verse and then my verse. He was like,
Speaker 1: I like the way you started, but you got even
Speaker 1: to change. That's why when I changed, I said I'm
Speaker 1: down with P and d r E A real nigga
Speaker 1: from the motherfucking LBC. I just looked like this, I
Speaker 1: stay down with the twist. I'm real with this some
Speaker 1: deepest abits. I gave you a pound, then I gave
Speaker 1: you a wife a kiss. I had to dip because
Speaker 1: y'all was full of that bullshit. Yeah, so he made
Speaker 1: me change all of that when it wasn't even his beat.
Speaker 1: So now when we lock up on this project, it
Speaker 1: ain't like that. It's like I'm producing you snoop. So
Speaker 1: that means when you come over here, you sit down
Speaker 1: and you follow my instructions. And I wanted That's what
Speaker 1: I wanted. With all of the shit that I'm doing,
Speaker 1: I was missing that last piece, that musical piece that
Speaker 1: was dynamic and transparent with how I'm living right now,
Speaker 1: rather than you judging me off of Doggie style Blue
Speaker 1: Carpet Paid the Calls. No, you're judging me off a
Speaker 1: missionary twenty twenty four, How I'm Living and har I'm Rocket.
Speaker 3: You had said when I first walked in, you were
Speaker 3: saying that this is like this is like your main shit,
Speaker 3: Like all the other shit are off side quests, right,
Speaker 3: But the music has always been the lifeline. Like I
Speaker 3: think about the algorithm, we're super dope, Like you've had
Speaker 3: even the gangster grill shit, you know what I mean,
Speaker 3: Like I fuck Mount Wesmore came out. You know what
Speaker 3: I mean? Is it hard for you to still be inspired,
Speaker 3: like to like get in the studio, and when you
Speaker 3: lose any inspiration, what do you do to kind to
Speaker 3: light that fire back to kind.
Speaker 1: Of I think having a record label, I would never
Speaker 1: lose interest in the studio. And then I got three
Speaker 1: studios here, and then I got so many dynamic artists
Speaker 1: that I love working with and love seeing them make records.
Speaker 1: And then I'm always listening to what's hot and what's new,
Speaker 1: and then I'm listening to what's old that last forever.
Speaker 1: So it's like I'm challenging myself to try to make
Speaker 1: shit that matters. Music is the universal language of all people,
Speaker 1: and if you bless with the abilities to do it,
Speaker 1: you're supposed to give up as much as you can.
Speaker 1: I look at the ones that have passed away and
Speaker 1: moved on and how their music remains and how their
Speaker 1: music like really touches the soul because they put their
Speaker 1: heart into it. And that's what I'm doing.
Speaker 3: I gotta there's an album that I can't get on Spotify.
Speaker 3: I only can listen to it on YouTube, and it's
Speaker 3: a shitty upload, the two on three album.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get it back. I'm gonna get contrued. What's
Speaker 1: going Like TVT had it in they l.
Speaker 3: I remember it was out on TVT so flies by ship.
Speaker 2: Dog like yeah, and they dissolved.
Speaker 1: They were ones who gave me the first deal for
Speaker 1: the East Siders two one three. They was the realist.
Speaker 1: Motherfucker Mark Binnich rest in Peace was a great guy.
Speaker 1: But they had that album and the label I think
Speaker 1: went bankrupt. So they got to call Tom Wada knows
Speaker 1: who got that motherfucker.
Speaker 2: What's his name?
Speaker 3: This is not on Spotify.
Speaker 1: No, I gotta get I can get the whole album,
Speaker 1: like you want to release it on death Row like remastered,
Speaker 1: that'd be.
Speaker 3: The way to go. I mean, I know when I
Speaker 3: was talking to Warren, he said he has like a
Speaker 3: pretty serious he do well. He's also got like unreleased
Speaker 3: Nate Dog shit.
Speaker 1: He got him and fred Reg both they got a
Speaker 1: bunch of n Nate Dog used to go from Warren
Speaker 1: G's house to Fred Reg's house. Then he used to
Speaker 1: fuck with this dude named Lance. But Lance was his engineer,
Speaker 1: so Nate would work out of his house. He would
Speaker 1: make song after song. Him and Tupac got the same
Speaker 1: work ethics.
Speaker 3: Oh so that'll tell you how much unreleased Nate doalk
Speaker 3: news because.
Speaker 1: Too, him and Tuplac got the same work ethic. I'll
Speaker 1: say that that's how he's on so many different hooks.
Speaker 1: That's why when people will call, Nate would show up.
Speaker 1: He gonna get that bag and give you a hell
Speaker 1: of a hook.
Speaker 3: Would you consider a version of like a like finding
Speaker 3: some of that unreleased Nate dog shit and maybe doing
Speaker 3: something with it on death row?
Speaker 1: Hell yeah, And I got a beautiful relationship with his
Speaker 1: mother and Miss Ruth, so we would make sure that
Speaker 1: the estate get the majority of the fire.
Speaker 3: And his son is dope, and hell's dope.
Speaker 2: Come on.
Speaker 1: Nigel played in the Snoopy Football League. He was my
Speaker 1: quarterback for a couple of years.

Speaker 3: who don't know even Donald Trump, you know what I mean? Like,
Speaker 3: I feel that's crazy, keV.
Speaker 2: I don't. I don't know.
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, when you when you're in the body,
Speaker 1: you don't have that experienced out of body experience. But
Speaker 1: at the same time, I'm watching how my base is growing,
Speaker 1: how the fan base of people that would never look
Speaker 1: at me, speak to me, recognize me.
Speaker 2: You have an Elf on the shelf, Snoop on the stoop.
Speaker 3: Do you know how fucking crazy that is? And my

Speaker 1: and the kids gotta can I have your Yeah?
Speaker 2: Snoop Dogg. Good right here? Hey, what's that now you doing?
Speaker 3: Yo? I wanted to ask you to speak shout to
Speaker 3: Jason Martin the Homely Problem. Him and I had a
Speaker 3: debate on my pod. We're talking about which label is greater,
Speaker 3: Death Row or TDE. I said death Row because I
Speaker 3: think of the tree that came from everything that came
Speaker 3: from Death Row. But TD is right there for you, man, Like,
Speaker 3: what has it been like watching just like some even
Speaker 3: another like West Coast label, just even being in that
Speaker 3: conversation like.
Speaker 1: Well, first of all, let me say this Top is
Speaker 1: my god. I love him. I watched his hustle, his
Speaker 1: climb to where he got to, getting his artists together
Speaker 1: as simbling all of that talent, putting the gangs to
Speaker 1: the back, putting the talent to the front, keeping that
Speaker 1: family vibe, making sure everybody supports each other, keeping a
Speaker 1: legit clean business, non violent. Top deserves a lot of respect,
Speaker 1: been clean, been righteous, got his boys working with him, got.
Speaker 3: His kids and his sons are helping with Man like this.
Speaker 1: Needs to be commended. Does the annual Christmas event that
Speaker 1: beauty peaceful? They did the walk in Compton where it
Speaker 1: was beautiful like the things that he does is overshadowed
Speaker 1: sometimes by the music and the things that his artists do.
Speaker 1: But he's got to be a backbone and the foundation
Speaker 1: to this. And he watched for many years label executives
Speaker 1: mishandled power and abuse artists and do things the wrong way.
Speaker 1: So he just practices the great way of doing business.
Speaker 1: That's why I love him and appreciate him and support him.
Speaker 1: And he got my back and I got his back
Speaker 1: when it comes to anything musically community wise, and that
Speaker 1: needs to be commended. As far as what he does,
Speaker 1: as far as the simboling and keeping his business legit.
Speaker 1: You never hear no smut nothing negative about TDE. He
Speaker 1: don't have that back lash of death Row that I
Speaker 1: had to take on right and get rid of. So naturally, yes,
Speaker 1: you would say that TDE is the new version of
Speaker 1: death Row.
Speaker 3: I mean, and also like better, a much longer run,
Speaker 3: but better, because I feel like people forget how short
Speaker 3: like the death Row run was, like.
Speaker 2: We was the Michael Jordan bulls cuh right.
Speaker 3: Like it felt like it was forever. But if you
Speaker 3: really look back.
Speaker 1: To Michael Jordan was ninety two to ninety six, Michael
Speaker 1: when Michael Jordan win this championship with the Bulls.
Speaker 3: It was ninety ninety one was the first one, right,
Speaker 3: and then to ninety three and then yeah, I mean
Speaker 3: two three Pietz.
Speaker 2: Yeah, right, so we went up to ninety six.
Speaker 1: I say ninety six cause that's when Tupac came, right,
Speaker 1: Dupac came in ninety six and he passed away in
Speaker 1: ninety six, So you got to think about that's how
Speaker 1: long our run was, ninety two to ninety six.
Speaker 3: Yeah, TV's going on nine to now. I mean, and
Speaker 3: TD got R and B and he got the biggest
Speaker 3: one of the biggest pop stars in the world, Sissa.
Speaker 1: And they got that new girl she shees supers. They
Speaker 1: like they keep hitting you upside the head with shit abs.
Speaker 1: So motherfucking schoolboy, Q Jay Rock Sir, Inglewood Sir.
Speaker 2: Like they just flood in the game. And it's like,
Speaker 2: you got to commend.
Speaker 3: That ras from Long Beach.
Speaker 1: So we at Death Row we look up to them
Speaker 1: as opposed to the other way around.
Speaker 2: And how it used to be.
Speaker 1: He used to be they'd look up to us because
Speaker 1: we was the big fish in the small pond. Now
Speaker 1: I's like they sat in the board setting the trend
Speaker 1: and the things that his artists and what they're doing
Speaker 1: is things that I can follow and do for my
Speaker 1: artists and for myself. That's what the game is about,
Speaker 1: learning and getting information and not being too big to ask.
Speaker 1: I called Kendrick maybe a year and a half ago
Speaker 1: when I was overseas and I had watched him perform
Speaker 1: at the Paris He had did a show in Paris
Speaker 1: on Amazon, and I was so fucking intrigued with his
Speaker 1: show and his showmanship and the way he had his
Speaker 1: shit together. I hit Terrys Mare and I said, cook
Speaker 1: me k dot number. He gave me his number and
Speaker 1: I called cause. I said, man, how the fuck did
Speaker 1: you do that?
Speaker 2: Show? Man?
Speaker 1: What I got to do to make my show like that?
Speaker 1: And he gave me some simple shit about like just
Speaker 1: keep doing the shit you do, and but it was
Speaker 1: so much information in that small conversation that I ended
Speaker 1: up making my show like even better. But that's me
Speaker 1: not having an ego and reaching out to someone who's
Speaker 1: younger than me, flyer in me to open in me
Speaker 1: and got a tap on some shit that I need
Speaker 1: to get information on.
Speaker 3: Would you see would you say? Because I feel like
Speaker 3: that is one thing about you, Snoop is it feels
Speaker 3: like you are like as big as you are, as
Speaker 3: legendary as you are, You're like you have a lot
Speaker 3: of humility, Like you you're willing to like step aside
Speaker 3: from your ego. Would you say that like that is
Speaker 3: a key to longevity.
Speaker 1: Yeah, whatever you put out to what you're gonna get. Like,
Speaker 1: it's a lot of shit that be happening to people,
Speaker 1: and then you wonder why. It's the energy that they
Speaker 1: put out, Like I went through mins early because that
Speaker 1: was the energy I put out. So, like I told
Speaker 1: you when I got to The dog Father, I was
Speaker 1: trying to find a new energy and I've just been
Speaker 1: sticking with it and it is what it is. You
Speaker 1: got to find the energy that the universe provides for
Speaker 1: you to keep you in a safe space. And some
Speaker 1: people don't do that. They always go to the negative
Speaker 1: energy or they try to find ways to you know,
Speaker 1: impress people instead of trying to be the best version
Speaker 1: of themselves.
Speaker 3: That's fair, that's fair, man. Look, Missionary is out. It
Speaker 3: is a great body of work.
Speaker 1: What what would you rate it on a So when
Speaker 1: I got a new dog album, I ain't even talking
Speaker 1: about wanted ten just snooped off.
Speaker 3: I have two fool listens, so you can't give me
Speaker 3: no radio. So that's what I'm saying. So I was
Speaker 3: at the TD thing last night.
Speaker 2: I came to your mixed up. You had all that
Speaker 2: good music.
Speaker 3: So on my on my way to your DJ at
Speaker 3: the Teah event, Well I came. I came to your
Speaker 3: thing last night, so on my way to your thing,
Speaker 3: I listened.
Speaker 1: By the way you DJing first at the TD event
Speaker 1: when you walked in KIV, you was rocking.
Speaker 2: You had the party rocking and got some rounded and
Speaker 2: I couldn't see you no more.
Speaker 3: This was crazy. Forest Whitaker caught a crazy straight on
Speaker 3: the album. By the way, he says lier than.
Speaker 1: I said, it's the only boy that that that Ron Well,
Speaker 1: he's in the room discussing. It was like, what Ron
Speaker 1: with that? Oh Forest, Okay, let's go.
Speaker 3: I would say, I mean, dude, I would say this
Speaker 3: like it would be just I mean, I can't really
Speaker 3: give you, like a serious rating off off of because
Speaker 3: because even like on our way over here listening to
Speaker 3: it for a third time, it just felt good.
Speaker 2: It's one of them things gonna ruin you.
Speaker 3: I think all the great albums do.
Speaker 2: That's what I was about to say.
Speaker 1: The Chronic album, Yeah, it became when it first came out,
Speaker 1: g than it had to row. She thing had to grow,
Speaker 1: then Dreda, it grew a little bit more. By the
Speaker 1: time he got to Let Me Ride, motherfuckers had lived
Speaker 1: with the album and they had understood what it was about.
Speaker 1: So then when we get to Doggystown, that's what all
Speaker 1: the expectation and anticipation because you didn't hurt all this
Speaker 1: great shit. This has been so many years separated from
Speaker 1: me and doctor Dre, so you expecting snooping Dre, but
Speaker 1: you ain't heard it so long you don't even know
Speaker 1: what the fuck it is.
Speaker 3: Yeah, because it's new too, and it's.
Speaker 2: Always been new. We've never been what they are.
Speaker 1: Ye think about the records that we've done, they've never
Speaker 1: sounded like anything that was out that year, and they've
Speaker 1: never been in the world of I think.
Speaker 3: That's just kind of I mean, I think even like
Speaker 3: Central Seduction is like, no one has ever made a
Speaker 3: song like that since or before.
Speaker 2: He read for writing that record for.
Speaker 3: Me, such a great fucking record.
Speaker 1: He wrote it for himself. But then he said, I
Speaker 1: don't want to say this record what you think you won't.
Speaker 1: I said, I'm going up might check, I'm going Figatto.
Speaker 3: When you guys like were getting like like finishing up
Speaker 3: this album. Was this around the time like the Kendrick
Speaker 3: shit was really because it feels like there's this West
Speaker 3: Coast moment that, like you know, my boy DJ Head
Speaker 3: always says, like all the like everyone's setting it up
Speaker 3: for like the West Coast to have another moment to
Speaker 3: like run hip hop like you guys did in the nineties, Right,
Speaker 3: do you feel that that same energy, like yo, like
Speaker 3: kind of all eyes are on us over here now,
Speaker 3: like it's a matter of like delivering now.
Speaker 1: With the records. I'm gonna tell you this hip hop
Speaker 1: always shifts. It shifted from day one. East Coasts had it,
Speaker 1: They ran it. It was they whirl.
Speaker 2: They controlled the media, radio, look the look, the style.
Speaker 3: By the way, they still control the media for the most.
Speaker 1: They look, the style, the everything. Right then it shifted
Speaker 1: the West Coast. We took it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we didn't ask for it. We took it. And
Speaker 2: when we took it, we ran with it.
Speaker 1: We showed motherfuckers how you can have it outside of
Speaker 1: New York and remain you while doing it. Then it
Speaker 1: shifted back to the East coast because Biggie and them
Speaker 1: came and took that motherfucker back. Then DM Mex and
Speaker 1: all the niggas came in fifty, said jay Z, And
Speaker 1: then nigga New York niggas was not playing nigga like,
Speaker 1: hold on, y'all gonna take some shit that we created. Nigga,
Speaker 1: Wait a minute, Boom took it. But when they took it,
Speaker 1: they was not respecting.
Speaker 3: The South, and the South has had it.
Speaker 1: They did not respect the South, but the West always
Speaker 1: respected the South.
Speaker 2: So what the.
Speaker 1: South did was said, hey, let's call our cousins from
Speaker 1: the West and asked them what they did. We just
Speaker 1: gang bang and took our shit. Oh that's what you

Speaker 3: That was Dave Meyers director. She's like one of the
Speaker 3: greatest video directors. It felt like some shit like when
Speaker 3: I was like, it felt like some guilty, conscious shit planning.
Speaker 1: So when we all get together, we don't have no
Speaker 1: problem with being funny and being hard at the same
Speaker 1: time because we know what people love from us. Like
Speaker 1: me and Dre always know that people love us when
Speaker 1: we make records together and we rap back and forth.
Speaker 1: But when we ever in something cinematically, they love when
Speaker 1: we had odds, they loved.
Speaker 2: When like when we did the wash, the wash was
Speaker 2: so good.
Speaker 1: Come on one nigga, like just that the banter between
Speaker 1: me and him, I'm like this person that person.
Speaker 2: But we always love each other.
Speaker 1: But we always have arguments, misunderstandings and disagreements that are funny.
Speaker 2: They're never too serious. It's like, man, they don't really
Speaker 2: like each other. Be like, oh, that shit was funny
Speaker 2: as a motherfucker.

Speaker 2: Man, I'm trying to tell y'all.
Speaker 1: Man, he when it comes to him and Snoop Dogg,
Speaker 1: he always make me look the best.
Speaker 2: He make me sound the best.
Speaker 1: Like it looked like all the lines and all this
Speaker 1: shits look like, man that Nigga snooped up.

Speaker 2: supposed to see.
Speaker 1: You gotta write a movie for y'all. Thank you say
Speaker 1: it loud please. I told him that. I called him
Speaker 1: last night because he was like, we do if we
Speaker 1: do a movie, we need uh to get acting coaches
Speaker 1: for And I'm like, Nigga, I don't need no motherfucking
Speaker 1: acting coach.
Speaker 2: Nigga, I'm in the game.
Speaker 3: You just got to play yourself.
Speaker 2: Stupid No.
Speaker 1: But then he was like he this how dope he is.
Speaker 1: We do need acting coaching because these are going to
Speaker 1: be roles that no one has ever thought of. Oh
Speaker 1: so he thinks like that, he ain't thinking about like
Speaker 1: what you see right now. On that twelve minute movie.
Speaker 1: We wouldn't even extend that. We would go somewhere else.
Speaker 3: When's the last time you watched Bones.
Speaker 2: Jimmy, motherfucking Bone. I had that show on VHS about
Speaker 2: three years ago. Yeah.
Speaker 3: I just wonder because like that was like your first time,
Speaker 3: and I'm not gonna lie it wasn't a great movie.
Speaker 2: To me, it was. Let me tell you why it
Speaker 2: was great.
Speaker 3: It's like it was like a hood classic.
Speaker 2: Let me tell you why it was great.
Speaker 1: I got to act with Pam Grigg huh oh yeah
Speaker 1: for three months in Canada, and then I got to
Speaker 1: work with Ricky Harris. So the cast, Clifton Pile. Yeah,
Speaker 1: the cast helped me to become a better actor. Like
Speaker 1: everything is steps and stages.
Speaker 3: Like it Bones was before Baby Boy, right, Yeah.
Speaker 1: So when you're challenge with working with great actors and
Speaker 1: a great cinematographer. Ernest Dickerson directed that movie. Who did Juice,
Speaker 1: did all the Spike Lee shit. He was a cinematographer.
Speaker 1: So working with those quality of people helped me to
Speaker 1: take my shit serious because before that I was just
Speaker 1: playing snoop. Though I would just go do a regular
Speaker 1: role and just do some basic shit. After that, my
Speaker 1: roles began to take on like more depth, and I
Speaker 1: got serious about learning my lines and doing characters that
Speaker 1: were not me that was so distant from me that
Speaker 1: you would believe that I was actually that Personalso, I.
Speaker 3: Mean, yeah, you're like one of the all time movie assholes.
Speaker 3: And baby Boy for sure.
Speaker 2: No right would you let me watch your kids.
