The biggest nuts and guess what? He is I and I am him.
Nobody cared about the riot until they thought it might spill into their nice neighborhoods. Then they got scared and called the National Guard.
Snoop Scorsese, that’s my director name.
I just change with the times. I really don’t have a say in what’s going on. Music was here before me.
I was like the class clown in school so I guess I would say I did like the attention. In church I did a lot of plays, my mother made me play characters, do a lot of drama and acting, trying to become someone else. So it helped me create who I am, to create Snoop Dogg.
They say I’m greedy, but I still want more, cause my eyes want to journey.
I used to get stressed out all the time when I thought winning was important. I wanted to try to win and help my kids win. Once I figured out it wasn’t about winning or losing, it was about teaching these kids about being men, that’s when I started to relax.
Everybody wants to be a winner. Winning for you is everything, right? Wrong, winning is the only thing!
I think people understand me, me as a person and what I went through because I kept it on the plate. I never hid nothing. I was never in the closet. I smoked dope, I gang banged, I did this, I did that; whatever I did it was always out.
Your only gain is to try to get me to fall down to your level. Man, you worser than devils.
Trouble comes looking for you. Lots of times I just stay in the house and enjoy my family. I try to be a father to my child, I’ll stay out of trouble if I can, because I have lots to do. Other folks have different hardships. It’s hard for a black man to raise a family.
It’s natural. I freestyle, meaning that I just rap. I might put words on paper, but I just put a beat on my rap, and go off the top of my head. It’s something I’ve been able to do for a long time.
So many people representing different sections of our community are taken down one way or another. The system was designed to break us down. The three-strike rule is to break down a black man.
I’m a business first and foremost so whatever my business is, it’s separate from my personal. It’s like whatever I do business wise, it’s done in the business fashion whether it’s promoting, marketing, whatever I’m doing.
The process for doing voice work goes by much quicker as opposed to shooting a feature. You can pretty much go in and knock it out in a day or two. It feels very natural for me to express myself using only my voice, so it wasn’t too difficult.
I make music that makes you dance, so I mean, it’s appropriate, you know what I’m saying? I make the kind of music that DJs can grab a hold of and spin the record and people just love rocking out to the big Snoop D O double G.
Look at music for what it’s worth around the world and not just America. In other countries, people are still buying CDs and going to record stores. But in America, it’s all about digital. The game is breaking down. But, look at me, you need to know how to play the game the right way.
King of tha westcoast.
I love making music and I’m falling in love with making records, so it’s like having two girlfriends. But I can handle it.
The red carpet is a beautiful situation for people. I think everybody appreciates it and loves it and honors it. Nobody really acts a fool because they know this is a one-time thing.
