Dizzle fo shizzle mah nizzle fo rizzle.
I really don’t do anything to break myself. As far as the damages to my body, I’m not a drinker. I let the gin and juice alone.
I went out and got little jobs. I was selling candy as a teenager, selling newspapers. But as I got older, I didn’t want to sell that anymore. I wanted to make more money.
It’s hard for a black man to raise a family.
I love Benny Hill. He one of my favourites of aaall time. Like, the way Benny did it, he was just amazing. Just seeing how he put songs together and comedy and the timing and the sketches. He was way ahead of his time.
Know when to lie to your kids.
On ‘Old School,’ I was not an actor, I was Snoop Dogg, so I came to the set with a whole different vibe, and a different crew of people. And on ‘Starsky and Hutch,’ I was more of an actor. I wasn’t Snoop Dogg, the rapper.
I’m so sick and tired of all this violence, this gun violence. And how could I speak on it – you know – being one who has advocated violence and gun violence? The only way I could do it was through a song that spoke from the heart.
I’m a musician – I’m always making music. Kobe Bryant is always playing ball. Well, Snoop Dogg is always recording.

The ‘American Idol’ and ‘X Factor’ shows, they’re great shows. But I think I need to make a show like that, directed straight to the hood, to the artists that don’t get the attention, that don’t have the money to make themselves representable.
There’s so much that I want to do. I feel like I’m the Magic Johnson of rap. You know, Magic was great on the basketball court, but he’s bigger as a businessman.
That’s how we do it in the black...
When I heard the royal family wanted to have me perform in celebration of Prince William’s marriage, I knew I had to give them a little something. ‘Wet’ is the perfect anthem for Prince William or any playa to get the club smokin’.
Nobody ever got their ass out of the ghetto by letting someone else step ahead of them in line. And no-one ever got rich and famous by laying back and hoping someone would notice who they are and what they do.
The streets will teach you about racism and capitalism and survival of the fittest. Don’t worry about that. The only thing you’ve got to worry about is if you’ve got enough cold-blooded ambition to apply the lessons you get taught.
Equality is about achievement: whoever achieves the most gets treated the most equal.
Word: I’m not saying the races don’t have a common human bond. I’m just saying that bond isn’t about compassion and equality and tolerance. What we all share together is the drive to get what’s ours and keep it for as long as we can.
You can take your boy out the hood but you can’t take the hood out the homie.
High school to went I, school High to went Y’all.
