My trigger finger itching, positioned at your dome, one twitch and it’s on. No remorse or second thoughts.
A song ain’t why people kill cops.
So don’t blame me for the problems. You can’t fault me for it. You can’t blame me. You want to blame me but I’m just trying to express what is going on, and trying to keep America open to it.
Black folks don’t have a chance, so they are in the hood, dealing drugs, in a shoot-out. They do it again and one more time they are out.
I’m not rapping, I’m conversing. It’s just a conversation between me and you.
People don’t understand that you can actually lose your life going to jail. There’s more violence in the jail-house than there is on the streets.
You got two black folk representing us through the Sixties. One of them was for violence, one was against it, and they both are dead.
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.
You won’t hear any more alcohol songs from Snoop Dogg – unless I stumble upon some Hennessy.
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.
I’m just doing what I do best and that’s what makes good music, and that’s how you can relate to people.
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’.
