Welcome to Drink Champs, the production of the Black Effect and I Heart Radio and his Drink chas motherfucking podcast makes He's a legendary queen's rapper. He's greed is your boy in no R. He's a Miami hippoper pioneer up his dj e f N. Together they drinking up with some of the biggest players in the most professional, unprofessional podcast and yet number one sorts for drunk back Mother is New Year's Eve. That's it's time for drink Champs. Trick up mother? Would it could be hoping to do you see what you see? Boy in o R? What up is d j e f N? This minitatement crazy walk grk motherfucking drunk and all that makes up? And let's just be clear, we don't we don't we We are rich now, we don't travel for nobody. But when not often, when when we get a good call from one Snoop Dog Delian and then Snoop Dog Delia gives us a call with the Chairman. Could we call him the Chairman because he gives us a lot of money? I like that, y'all laughed, but we didn't, and the Chairman said, we got to talk about the Snoop Dog Death Row collaboration n f T. And I said, wait a minute, holy body, quacamoti, you gotta calm down. Mr Sean Combs. He said, no, I'm gonna get him on the phone, and then Snoop got on the phone. And it's crazy. So in case you don't know who the funk we're talking mark, let's make some noise for the one, the only Snoop motherfucker d Chance alumni, Dring Chance alumni, only artist. He came early, honest that ever make us go to him, went to the hotel. I don't want a break, breaking a vacation. It's the same California Snoop, Snoop. I ain't gonna lie. I looked at the compound. We really respect what you do. Hold on, hold on, uncle, comment comment um the compound. His was crazy about it. Crip like a motherfucker in Inglewood neighborhood, blood like a motherfucker. How is we corroborating or the simple factors that I've outgrown the bagging element. I'm more of a businessman, and when you learn to be a businessman, you learn how to incorporate everybody. So I got a lot of my blood cousins. Yeah, so I got a lot of my my blood cousins that support of the operation as well. So we don't keep it, you know, fully creeping on the business. We keep it fully business on the business. So anybody that's eligible, that's you know, able to attain the position, no matter what neighborhood you come from or what set you represent. We represent money businessmen, and we try to make money to make a difference. That's fire. Now, let's excuse let's just go straight to it. It's no game was on our show and games say that jay Z did not want him on Super Bowl? Where are you standing with that? I don't know. That's information that I don't have. Remember was a guest of Dr Dre, so I wasn't privy to the information on who was who wasn't. All I know is that they gave me issues with me performing, So I would imagine, you know, there is some truth to it, but I don't know. I'm not. But did you see what games at? I sent entirely, and that's his opinion. He got his view. That's my little homie, that's my nephew. We're all a family, we're all up under the Dray tree. So whenever there's a tree, no doubt, there's no doubt. So so and that's I don't know the great tree truth. And that's a beautiful thing to be under the tree. So sometimes we quarrel, we have misunderstandings, and it's up to us as a family to get our understanding amongst us. So a lot of times when we air out, it's probably because we haven't been able to communicate with our family. So we let them know that we want to get in touch with you. And that's the way that we air it out. Because it was things I didn't see Scott starts and didn't see game, and that's the two things that I would be like, you know what this is this this would be great. Let me tell you what you didn't see that you ain't saying nothing about You didn't hear a g thing. You didn't hear a shift from death row? What about that era? That didn't mean nothing? Okay, then so what about that? So you gotta look at Dr Dre's mind state. Whatever he was on. He was on, that was his show. They asked him to perform. So whoever he wanted to bring to the party, he had the right to. And when he said I don't want to do this song, this song, this song, we couldn't contest that because they didn't ask us to come. I would have loved to do g thing Jen and Juice, what's my name? Drop it like it's hid anything out of my catalog. I didn't get to do one Snoop Dogg song. I did everything to support Dr T. So I I hit the homee the big homie jay Z right and I told him to come pull up on me, and he pulled up on me. And this is exactly I swear to guard my nephew. We've wonder if you he went here to the left. I said to my nephew, I said, yo, listen, I have to ask him this straight up. So I said, yo, why who is the people that's on um and if in the foul? And he said to me and I'm sorry for anybody who don't understand. And he said, the white guy called for for fifty cents mm hmm. So I said, who's who's the white guy? Come? I'm big in this Jimmy vine and he said no, and men them called directly fifty and he said, he said, I can't do it if I can't break fifty off, but that's his God God, No, but you're the most famous rapper in in the history of history. I begged the different who would you say is the most famous in your mouse? No, Snoop, you're the most favorite. But by the way, let me just be clear, thank you. Let me just be clear, Snoop, one million percent. We expected you to be there. We didn't expect Mary, we didn't expect Kendrick. We expected Dre and Snoop. So what happens at this rehearsal, um, Well, it's it's put together before the rehearsal. It's actually a conversation before we even get to the rehearsal. You know, game plan, what it should look like, what it sounds like, what we should do, you know, songs, looks et cetera, et cetera, whole get out. Because Dr Dre is a perfectionist. So first of all, he had to fall in love with the project first. And once he falls in love with then you's got to figure out how you can creatively funk everybody up. But they've never been sucked up before, you know, because Nick has been wanting bally men the verses and do all this type of ship. But he like that y'all can't funk with me. And there's only one way to show you, Nigga's the super Bowl, the biggest stage in the world. Give your moment. I mean. But but what people don't understand is he didn't do nothing from the Ruthless catalog, the Death Row catalog, nothing from Snoop Dogg's catalog. He only had twelve minutes. Sure see what people going into all this, nigga, Look at what what could you do in twelve fucking minutes where you're gonna satisfy everybody? What I'm saying, But where are you gonna satisfy everybody? In twelve catalog is fucking three years long. You're gonna miss a beach, You're gonna where was ice Cube? So that's that's you didn't because that's the ace in the hole, right But at the same time, at the same time, but we have to we have to respect Dre's mind state. Now when the NFL call us individually to do a show, and we can do what we want to do after we put in the work that Dre put in to be on the level to get that position. So we can't, you know, knock it. We gotta say, you know what, we applauded, because maybe that'll open a door for me or someone else who continues the journey that dre put down in hip hop for thirty fucking years. Three decades of fucking hit records. I mean, I mean, I mean, funk all that we can't be on. We don't have to stay there for a minute. Three decades a these nineties, two thousand, two thousand tiens and just dropped on the g T A game talk to me. I talked about Yo, Snoop, I'm gonna be honest. That's fine, pupect color, public color, mother, public color. Snow, I'm gonna be honest, stoopid. So I hit the big homie and I say, I say, yo, Yo, come come through and come see me. And then jay Z come see me. He actually come see me. He comes, Yes, thank you. That is this the cold ones. Okay, he actually comes see me, Snoop and high him. I said, Yo, I just had the homie game on, and I need to, I need I need to, I need to know for me to you was game excluding ran? Was he black ballers? But that's all we want to know because if he was black balled and fuck that. If he wasn't black balled, then we you know, games gonna have a conversation with Dre and then and get some understanding we can keep our brotherhood. Do you know what the big going? We told me what the nigga said. I can't tell Dre nothing. M hmmmm, you just say what I said. It's like he's got a lot of friends and a lot of people that he put on and I don't think it was about nothing, but whatever the space he was in mentally, Remember he just went through a divorce and and the aneurysm was with his head. So nobody's pay attention to nother ship that the man going through. Like we all go through ship individually, but when we're in a highlighted moment to show our successful stories, we have to take advantage of that moment. But we still could be going through some ship. And as a family, it's our job to, you know, do what we do to support each other. So my job is to be the mediator. You know. I don't take any sides. I just love everybody the same, and I empathized and sympathize with both because I understand how both feel. I understand our game feel. I understand how Dre feel about stories. How does he feel because Scott folk like he should have been the guy on the D D D D D ding. I'm asking you, are you serious or you're serious? I'm not gonna lie. I'll be honest with you. When I see the dud dude, I was like, Dad, I felt like Scott should have been should have been doing that. You probably want percent of America, and Scott is a bad motherfucker, that's him, but certain moments ain't made for you, and that ain't with no disrespect, that's what all due respect. If Dre felt like I want to showcase Scott on the piano, then I'll do that. But I don't think that was a disrespectful more with him to say I don't want Scott, and I think it was just so much going down where he didn't pay attention to details as far as should I have the piano player, should I have the neggtive played the horns? Should I have the nigga that was pop blocking in the video? Should I have you know the things that you remind you of what it is? Or should I do something different to let you know what it is? Now? Because it's still my sound regardless of who played to it and who did whatever they did. This is my record that we did together. So as an accomplishment of what we've done together, celebrate the fact that those are your keys being played at the super Bowl. You don't have to be your fingers. Everybody know that came from you. So that's your celebration right there. Snoop. I'm gonna be honest with you. When I posted the picture with you and Puffy and I said bad boy death from so many people hit me and said that's not right. People died, people, you know, so such a I said, shut the funk up. Yeah, but people died, but we didn't have him to do with it. It was always the peaceful ones. That's that's the epicenter of everything. They tried to get me to not like Puffy and Biggy while it's in the middle of the death row bad boy feud, and I made a choice that I had no issues with them. That was the Aggie Martinez interview back in the days that created having between me and death role. Because I still wants exactly because when you said I ain't got no issues, I said, I do a song I want to do a song with them niggas. That's how I engined. I said, I ain't got no issues with Puffy and Bigger. I want to do a song with the niggas. Middle of the war in New York, New York. I'm hiding on the sound, did you say? Because that's how I felt the fact. Here's the here's the situation. Man. At that time, it was on our ass. Let's keeping one down. While some niggers don't like competition, I take it home. I love when the nigga better than me because you're gonna make me better. Do you think me and jay Z and Nas and all these niggas was based off of us not having creative competition. That's what it's always about. But it ain't about hate. It's about Oh that niggas just dropped the bomb mass album? Who did jigger? Did? Hold on? Let me load up what producers he used? For real? Call that nigger timber to call that nigga? Just call them niggas. And the same thing when I boot Snoop drop a hot rod, jay Z calling my producers this competition is fun, is love. This is what we do. We don't kill behind it and motherfucker's don't understand that. I had enough sense to know that I had just be the murder case. Murder case, So now you want me to get in another while I'm in New York with no guns. He's Louise. I'm from the hood, I gang bag, so I understand street policy. You know that gang bangers everywhere link the toughest niggers in the ward. It's a tough nick on every block. So when you try to be too tough, that's when your ass get checked. So I knew my position was. I love hip hop. I was raised off of New York hippop. That's the mecca of hip hop. Will't always be to me. So as far as me to respect Puffy and Biggie at that moment, that's what it was about. I respected their music. That ship sounded good, it felt good, and they were friends of mine. When we were making records on Therefro. I used to go to Daddy's house and hang out with them. We got footage of me, and there's footage of Tupac on stage rapping in California. But why were you the only one? I wasn't brain you know what? You know what I'm gonna be honest, you weren't the only one there was corrupt. There was das on the law. They didn't have the the mad power to say what I said, you feel I'm saying so I could test the system because I bet the system, you know what I'm saying so, And I wasn't trying to test the system. I was just trying to put some peace in the air because I was like, you know what, maybe if I say this ship that I really feel, maybe they'd say, you know what, it ain't that bad. And then you speed the clock up and find out that BIGGI didn't had to have nothing to do with Tupac getting shot, not at all. That's sucked up. That's sucked up. It really is fucked up, it really and I want to take all of that ship on my head out here from niggaying how are you gonna rode with him? Bit as Nigga's cul and I'm like, Nigga has to do my values. What's happening? You got a problem? Complain? But that's that's um. Um. Let me let me just stop it for one second. But that's um. And I know I'm i'm i'm, I'm, I'm big right now. I'm big, I'm fat. But un Rivera called me and said, Yo, I need to tell you I don't want that big bad Boy death Row collaboration that happened. This is un Rivera. This is little Kim Biggie. And I said why why would you know I want that? And he said because people got killed and whatever. So I said, I said, you're listen, this is what I didn't do nothing, So this is what I said. You're talking about this now, so so so he said to me, he said to me, he said to me, um, I don't like the don't like me, he said. He said, this is the bad Boy death Row collaboration what it was, because it's some new ship. This is new ship. That's what I'm trying to tell him. Like, let me talk to you right now on if you listen, if you watching, we're progress and we moved on our minds. I'm a fifty year old man, I'm not a twenty some year old young kid, and I leave by example a lot of kids following me. So if we could show growth and progression, that we can move forward and we can take this bad Boy death Row what it used to be and making a collaboration on Peace and Love. Just so you know on Puffy Songs and my sons have been best friends since they with six seven years old. And let me give you the real story on that one brother. I didn't make it happen and Puffy didn't make it happen. One night, I was at my house and Puffy Song was over about like nine o'clock and I'm like, couple time, you're going home and he's like, I'm spending the night. I'm like, did you tell your dad? He's like, no, my mom dropped me off. So Kim rest in Peace was connecting. My kids were Puff kids, and they formed a friendship in a bond. When Justin went to U c l A. My son went to you say, when Christian was rapping, my son was rapping, when he was modeling, he was flying over the world together. So they forged the friendship in a brotherhood that me and Puff always had. So if we got the opportunity to take these two brands and show people what it can be as opposed to what it used to be, that's what the funk we're gonna do. That's all. Everyone was crazy on your new album. You did that skit know, the dancing all dancing in your videos like that's where like you really went on record like this is what it is now because that's that's who I am. I'm and Puffy. You know what I'm saying. When the videos wrapping dancing, I'm saying because because that's what it is, I don't have no problem with it. You know what I'm saying. I love it. This is who I am, and I get I get a chance to give other motherfucker's a chance to shine because I'm so bright. When I put the light on somebody else, they get a chance to show they talent. I'm not gonna lie to you. Puff. Daddy called me on three ray. He said, he said, listen, you gotta go see Snoop, And I said, of course, I go sneeze. But then he three rayed me you with you in and he said, we got an n f T puff bad Boy death Row And I posted that. I posted a picture of me you and did he and I said, bad boy death Row n f T All said something like that, and I can't lie to you, Snoop. So many people was like, what the fund are you talking about? Bad Boy was controversial, so you gotta understand. I'm just gonna be able to drunk motherfucker talking about what it is, and I appreciate it because I get drunk. Well, the optics is that they got to understand that it's about growth and development, right Like I keep saying that when you get to be the age that we are, and you get to become as successful as we are, you have to start doing some things that matter for the future. Because if we keep the narrative out there that East Coast and West Coast don't funk with each other, that's a motherfucking lie. Who are you from? Cost? I'm from I love the funk out of you. I love the funk out of you. Okay, that's what's that? What So if we don't if if we keep the sitting remember the scene in Yes, because we dropped New York, New York and what y'all dropped? Okay, So if we keep getting narrative just like, but there's the evolution, right why you have to lower And these motherfucker's that're speaking, I don't even know what's already happening. They're just so trained to be brainwashed by the hip hop system that they're supposed to be at each other. Shut the funk up, stop being brainwashed. I love I love his kids. Now, nigger, what's happening. What's happened my own death row? So I do what the funk I want to know. Let's stay right there. Hell, I'm not gonna lie, Snooper, I didn't have your number at this time. I got your number now, but I know you wanted to call me when I found out, say said, Snoop owns death roll. Now, now let's just be clear because I want to be clear for the fans, not for me. Your lawyer calls you, what this opportunity? How do you? How do you say that you can buy the death row? I was working for death Jam President creative executive consultant, so jay z Yawl just makes a noise of that. So doing my little work over there, and I really want a death row first, but they, you know, eat One shipped on me. They tried to treat me like a hole, wanted me to come work for them. We told one we're talking about what's the nicker name, Alan Grunt Black. So they had the label I do that, Yeah you do, it's your show. So for about a year and a half, two years, I was just trying to get my mask because all I wanted was doggy staff. So Sloop, I'm gonna give you the whole rundown if you can. You you are asking for your old masters. What he originally thought of originally was trying to say, E one, how can we work a deal? Because one is working with the big blood no eat one Bot. They bought it the eight boat everything Canada. They then has Bro baught E one the toy company. Right, So now I'm dealing with Hasbro and one. Hasbro supposed to be clean and they don't do negative ship, and I'm like, what the fund is going on? So I'm talking to the one that give me the run around, something like, look, check it out. Why don't ya let me come work for y'all so I'll get my masters. I can blow y'all ship up, make the ship go, give me the Death from Catalog and let me get my masters. Okay, Snoop, come work for us for twelve years, you get your masters back in fifteen, you get two and fifty dollars, and you just put them high heels back on and be the best hole you've ever been. You went too fast, you know, I'm telling you smith the whole shoes over there. Put the whole shoes off. I'm not don't wearlse, don't wear those. Put on the pimp shoes. When I had a discussion with Lucian Grange, Mr Granger, I can come work for you to make your label better. You're rich, you're balling. You don't need this ship. You snoop, though I can help you. I got people over here and need help, and I just love death Jam. I fucking wanted to be on death Jam as a kid. Give me a job. Give me the job. Come over there, change a few things and make sure happen. Get it popping and bopping. Then out here. Oh they sold he wanted death row to some trillionaires. Oh they did, so I got some people that know the trillionaires. That's like, let me get you on the phone with him. Yeah, what's that? And we got death row. We don't know what the fund to doing with it. I do how much you cast boom boom? How much my master's cast? God, damn fun hold on, give me a minute, Give me a minute, man, so I maneuver. Let me just get death from I don't even want the masters right now because it's all skin. It's chess. It ain't checkers. Get death Row. They're now Snoop Dogg got death But this this what niggas say, always got something negative say he ain't got the masters, he don't own him cool, I don't let me. I'll let you out. How much for that? I'm on all. I'm not just mind all of them, but you I want them all? Oh it's one more piece mission. What about the publishing? I need all of that too, now what But in the next place, I watched this play snatch everything death Row off traditional iTunes, apples, Spotify, Funk out of here, Freeze Freeze. So take the death from catalog to gall of Games, the company that I funk within the metaverse, that's where it lives at the metaverse. Then build the death Row app so we can be like Netflix, Amazon, and we have an Apple all of our content, all of our music and now instead of Apple and Spotify and all these motherfucker's pimping, so new motherfucking pimp on the block. Snoop. That was that was actually in my very first question is did you go and read take all Ship? But you did? I got it all because I want to what first thing I want to do is I want to get paid all the people that didn't get paid paid doll rage or dash for rupt you know what I'm saying. Then I want to make sure that the founder, Harry Oh can't get paid, you know, give him a position in the company to be an executive because he's a a fucking brilliant minded you god damn right, So put him in position to make some things happen, to get this ship from an M to a big you get me, yeah, And then I'll take care of people like Warren G. I'll go get I'll go get the only coast na that kind of left right. I'll go get the warrangy record from death Cham take it to the metaverse, make death Jam some money and make my homies some millions, and make sure he's straight for the rest his life. Then I'll take care of Snoop Dogg once I take everybody else. Snoop, I'm gonna be honest with you, probably made the best Oh what is it called investment? No? No, when you say something, um statement in my life, I'm sitting there watching you at the Hollywood all the fame, and then I said the nigga said, I gotta thank myself. M h. I said, Holy moly, I need to take myself a lot to what made you think yourself? My nigga, that's I didn't had nothing written down. Um Drey was there, My mama was there. My best friend Waring, she was there. Nigga. Cree My dudes, your barber was there. Nigga, do you understand what that means to me? It's the greatest niggad ever hold of basketball, and he there for me. Manquincy Jones was doing. Quincy Jones was there Like these is like niggas and I'm a little kid, like I could never know these people. And now these niggas is my friends showing up for me, dropping conversation for me. So when I'm up there spending my ship, I don't even know what the funk I'm talking about. But I looked at my mama and I'm like, I need to thank me. Mama did what she had to do. Though Mama did her part, but I'm looking at my mama like she did her partner. All the rest is on me. Like when you have a kid, you let them, you cut them, loosening this all on them. It's what you taught him. And it's on them from there. And I feel like to get to where I got, I had to put in all that hard work, that dedication to struggle, the losses, everything that I went through. I had to be strong enough to fight through it and get back up and go do it again and take them ails and don't get paid, lose friends, lose relationships, lose money. You know what I'm saying, damn to lose my life, my freedom, and to regroup myself to say I'm respected enough to where everybody respects me and loves me for who I am. I ain't changed one step of the way. I stayed me the whole way, and people love me for being me. So let me thank me for being me. So the next person that comes out to do them they can understand they can do that. The whole rose one, two three. I ain't gonna lie. When I saw that speech, I wanted to thank me every day too. I was like, God, just like it was like, I'm just thinking me, I'm outside, I'm outside. I didn't think it was like kind of When I said that, it got so good to me. I called my album I Want to Thank Me. I did an album after that called I want to thank me because I was like, you know what I do need to and and and I didn't even understand it was more about mental health and self esteem for other people. Like it was right, it was like real self esteem for people to be like, you know, I don't have to work for your confirmation. I'm doing good by me exactly, and I'm gonna be all right because a lot of people wore around waiting to see what's he gonna think. Which he's gonna think? And man, if they don't like me, I don't know if man fun that I like me like, so let me ask you. Um Games said something on our show. Games said that Kanye did more for him in two weeks that Dr Dre did for him and his whole career. Now I'm gonna before I asked you, I'm gonna tell you. I can. You pulled up to him my wife's juice ball and I showed it to car Yeah, and Kanye looked at it and said, I don't think Games should have said that. One million was said the truth. Game knows I listen, Kanye knows this, listen, one million. I love every all sides, parties involved, all parties involved, but I need to hear snoop dogs. I mean, I don't know. I don't know. That's his personal experience. So that's a personal, you know, situation where he feels that that's what happened. Like maybe Kanye walked him into metaverse and showed him the billion dollars scheme on how to get to the billions a little bit. You know, it could have been something to that effect, that he could have showed him something, you know, because you ain't not really good at showing, you know, and he basically good at bringing your talents to the life. You know. To worry, it's about you, not what he do for you, but what you can do for yourself when you're point of his guidance. So to me, I couldn't answer that. But you know, game is my lonely so I respect everything he's saying. Do I don't ever want to be on the bad side. Would even none of that ship as far as negative energy, we got a great understanding, you know, I respect his point of view, his views. He always said you was a safe artist. He always check in with me like this is like, what does that mean? Safe artists? Like safe? Like I mean, God, bless God, bless me. For free saying this, and I'm gonna be out front with this. You had a murder case. There's no way you could be a safe artist. I guess probably because of what I've created after that, after you know what I'm saying that, Yeah, I got football leagues, I do things for special needs kids. I do things with the parents, the gang violence, like the things that I've done to create a whole new narrative on who I am. I guess that would make him feel like I was safe. But I'm still a nigger. So you you when I'm driving the police getting behind me, nigging my heart beat fast, they'd be like, hey, what's up. Just certain ship's right, don't look back. Let's be clear. We are Inglewood, right, Yeah, Inglewood. For for what I've known from back in the days, Inglewood was a super blood neighborhood. Yeah, definitely. But we're not coming over here with gang violence. We're come up here with business. I coached for the Inglewood Chargers. I bring business to Inglewood. I hired people from Inglewood. I associate with bloods and crips. I associate with human beings. I'm about change. I got kids on my team that I coached that fathers have been active gang members for over the thirty years, and they see me engaging with their kids, teaching their kids, educating their kids, giving their kids hope. Gang violence is not a part of what we bring to the table. We bring peace to gang violence. So by me being a cript in a blood neighborhood, bringing you know, business and opportunities and shows that you can, I'll grow the gang mentality of being active. I'm not active with gang bang and I'm active in my neighborhood as far as creating. So I feel like I'm a part of Inglewood and I'm from Inglewood because I do things the better the community I live here. I love helping out and I love being a part of it. So nobody has an issue with Snoop Dogg because he's not a gang banger. Gonna lie, I've been drinking this ship a lot. You better keep drinking it. Yeah, I ain't gonna lie. So what made you get into the red Red wines? Because you could have gotten the blue one. You could have made I would have bought it. If you were the board blue ones, I'd say hypnotic one. No, I think the red one was was appealing to me because it was Sally. It was something nobody was attacking. Everybody was going after the everything that everybody else was doing, and I felt like I was a step above. I feel like I was a little bit more class here than you know, holding the bottom on the club type of ship. I want you to be able to pour a glass and have a conversation and you know, tone it down a little bit of you know, being in the middle of a nice meal having a glass of this. So that's what I was thinking, like more of a you know, what is the next level of growing into a man as opposed to being in the club. My niggles had classic class. But if I do this too many times, but that's love, like I was saying the other day, turned it down a bit. She want to hear that sometimes too. We're gonna take a shot. That's one of your ships, drinking this one. This is my girl, right No, this is the eighteen crimes, Kelly Rose, give me a shot at that is This is a cute. It's a cute right there. Yea, this is the ladies desire right there. Yeah, let me try to come on the ladies desire. We're gonna take the shot you're gonna take a shot of that motherfucking snoop do let's go drink. You're a drink chap, Snoop. I'm not gonna like you got to get a shot too, sir. I'm gonna take a home shot. Oh damn you. You don't you know your Oyea? Yeah, y'all drinking. We're gonna celebrate to Snoop, Snoop. We celebrate you, Snoop. Dude. So Snoop, let me ask you. That's good. God bless Mom's passed away. My father passed away. God bless her so and it was the worst thing ever for me. But I continue to to work. I watched your interviews and I watched um you go through through it and you continue to work. Why that's what Mama wants me to do. I mean to me, her transition, her transition made me better because now she's up top watching over me. It's no accident that I wanted all these things that I'm having right now because she upstairs putting strength from me because her work was done down here, and now it's my time to do my work, to let my work speak for me. And the reason why I went back to work is because She always loved me doing what I do to make people happy, to inspire, to influence. So I didn't want to be down and take my spirit down with everybody else that loves me. And in the spirit of her, she raised me to be Snoop Dogg. So let me go away and do what the thing that she told me to be. She one name me Snoopy, Mama name my mama. Ain't never called me nothing but Snoopy my whole life. I ain't never heard my real name my whole life, that's my whole life. You never heard my real name ever come out of her mouthez Louis ship. So I take her spirit with me, you know what I'm saying. Mom's was a evangelist, you know, her last few years here, so she was spreading the word. She was very vocal. She had the same spirit I got as far as knowing how to control a crowd, how to make people laugh, how to be serious, how to make them zone in. So all the things that I'm great at, I learned from her. So it's like, now it's my job to continue the mission that she put in me, which is to inspire and the influence because there's so many people that fall in my league. So now I know what I'm here for. I'm not no reckless gang banger telling homies a bang. I'm telling you to stop banging, showing you how to get your life right here, how to raise your kids, how to do what's right. And you know, yeah, some some wrong things are gonna happen, but we're gonna do all right than wrong. So let's let's just take it back to UM Death Right the original when UM Source Awards, and I always look at this footage, and I always I was in jail at this time. I really was. I was in jail at the time. But when Shaw goes up there, it's as you motherfucker's you, You motherfucker's ain't gonna be in the videos and all this ship if you don't want if you don't want to, we see Snoop and we see Dre and we see y'all. I don't I don't know if it's called saluting that, but you guys are sitting yeah, because that's our teammate. So it's like if the teammate score basket, you're supposed to clap for him. You're supposed to clap even if he got a lucky basket. But let me ask you. But you notice how they didn't cut from that to what happened after that. They cut from that to me. What happened directly after that was Biggie won an award and when Biggie, when Biggie come and win his award, Puffy say, I'm the one he was talking about, but I ain't tripping blah blah, this and that. Then Biggie went his award and say Brooklyn something like like did you talking about oh Buffy, try to turn him down this nigging Biggie said, Brooklyn, everything from New York is on the second team. Now New York, like I understand that. Like when we was in the building, you can you said that when you grabbed the bike, you said, I know, well man, yeah, because all New York niggas said got together like nigga fucky, like for real. It was like really that tension like that, like you feel tenching when you come from that environment, you know, when they could just like that, This is what I need to ask. And this is my brother. I love his brother. Right here. You gonna bring up the same thing we've been talking about, bring up the same for years uh down, South West Coast, every other region, every other region has said to us, and this is my brother, and I'm brother from Miami, so that's he's on their side, by the way, and he said, you New York niggas never gave us love. That's the fact. And I was telling you, and it was mostly industry wise more than anything else. In fact, we have to fight hard to get off. Like you've got people like from my side, you got Iced t Iceque who cut through because they went to the other side, so to speak, and moved to our exactly. Guess Ic moved to the hood and was a part of New Just City and ship like that squad, which made it okay West Coast niggas all right. Then when Dr Dre came, it was like, we can't funk with them niggas, so we have to give them their respect. Then when Snoop Dogg came, it was like this nigga is giving respect while taking the whole rap game. But if you notice, we always had respect for New York first because New York is always the pinnacle. Too. If you can't crack that colde, you ain't cracked no cold. And to every nigga in New York respects you. You ain't respected. That's our mentality anything outside of New York. That's just the way it going. It's always like when we first started coming there, they never would play our music. Then when we would show up, they have played music for like every day we there, and then we had Nigga State behind like two, three, three days later and like it ain't playing our ship now, Snoop. I'm I'll be honest, and I'm gonna look at you in your face. I apologize on behalf of my accepted. You're accepted. No, No, I do accept it because when I met with Jay, Jay said they didn't play my ship, they didn't play Biggie Ship and other regions. This is three days ago. I'm gonna tell you what it is. It's never the ones up top. The niggas in the streets always funk with us, just like the niggas in the streets are always fun with y'all. But we don't dictate what goes down. So I could have said, let me talk to all the real street niggas from New York. How much West Coach shit y'all listened to would have been like nigga we listened to all kind of West Coast shit, Yes, but is it brought to the highlight because we're trying to promote our people, just like out here, we accept New York niggas wrapped fashion, and we accepted West Coast wrapping the eighties, and now they accept South rap faster than they accept West Coast rap out here because whatever dictates, that's what dictates. But in the streets it's a different dictation. Because street niggas always told me, maybe you raised me. You know what, many New York niggas told me that that I raised them because not because of them, because of the right. But I'm saying, like, for example, Asad Rocky Bobby's murder them two niggas specifically, but they're telling me, nigga, you raised me through my mama playing your music when I was a little kid. So if your mama was playing in the sheet from New York, that means Snoop Dogg is loved by New York. And that's the part we got to look past. We can't recognize that. But you know what, you are one of them niggas that New York love and you accepted you probably wanted the aw I'm probably the only Nigga's then been to the Queen's projects, been too hard, have been to the bronze sucking what Brooklyn were the cryptis that I have been to every motherfucking hood in New York where they say you say, don't go Javargus Squid performed there in the tunnel, performed there. Don't go there, you can't. I'm there. They got razors in their mouth. So what they Nigga asked from Flex Nigga, he was there on my birthday. I brought Dr Dre to the tunnel, Nigga, Who could do that? Look at up pulling footage of Nigga, Dr Dre and Snoop Dogg's birthday party at the Tunnel. Nigga in New York. Myth full of raisers Nigga hunt niggas from New York saying we're your security now, Yes you are, Snoop. I ain't gonna lie to these, Snoop. We love you in New York and I love y'all. Nigga. You just don't understand if if I could have been the other nigger than me, I have loved have been a New York rap nick in the eighties because y'all was sucking it up. I'm talking about from rock Hid the Big Daddy, Kay mcint care, Riss wing ll cu J and then it was everything came out of that motherfucker was flawless. Let me let me give you, let me give you your prospect from war and g the easy to motherfucking ice t. You know, we we definitely what it was. Let me just tell you something. I'm gonna be honest with you. When I heard straightiler of Compton, I thought that was Ricker's Island for real. I thought it was a jail because I was like training on Compton, training the motherfucking I was like, Holy, they're jailed. It's crazy. I don't want to get I was like, I got you know, at that time, we had Rcauslan practice Alan, so I'm like Compton, It's like, I don't want to go to jail, and humpy, I want to jail, but not in content, like can I go to jail? And like anywhere else? It was what it was. It was that error was exactly what they sung about. It was depicted. It was everyday life. I wasn't in the rap game at the time, so I was in the streets and a lot of that ship they was wrapping the ball was actually happening like daily, like all of that ship. So it was like to see their life story on screen. It was educational for me too because I wasn't in the n w A circle. I was just a fan. So to see their story brought to life and how the ship came in life and how and inspired me was dope as funk. So one day soon I hope to tell my life story so people can be inspired by that. Dr I didn't see that ship. I ain't gonna I watched it. You ain't watching watched There's no disrespect. I heard some about it, so I don't want to see it. Sorry, what did you see that? But you gotta you gotta. It's from a different Let's move on the first thing. Nobody know what this is? Something so smooth, Let's get into this. What are we doing? Bad boy and and and death Row is gonna do an n f T collapse? Is that what we're talking about. I don't see anything wrong with that. I see that the n f T space and the Web three is the future, and it's actually what I love about it. There's no feuding, no negativity, no war, no violence, none of that ship exists over there, so they haven't even learned how to fight each other yet. So yes, exactly, so I love exactly So I like that space so much to where it's was proved to me because there's so much skepticism and criticism when you do things, do things to the neck of eye until they see what the mission is about. Like why would you say anything negative negative about bad Boy and death grow knowing that people died, that that should be your reason to want it to be positive because people did die. But a lot of people are like like like when uncalled me, Un said, yo, um, I would like to have a rebuttal And I said, so this is what you this you should do? How much the bad Boy do we own? I don't owns bad Boy at all. We're talking, but he has biggies, So unsaid, can I do over bottle? I said, yea, yeah, give over bottle? What is he rebutton? You don't even know what we're doing that Nigga's problems. They love to rebuttle but don't even know what the funk they're in court for, Like I'm going against him? What what did he do? I'm waiting here with the nigga did. But I got my team and lawyers sit your ass down and bring some positivity to a negative. Come on, death roll bad Boy together. That's that's nothing. That's nothing. I still funk a little sees No Kim Jada, Kiss, Puffy, Maize, whoever the funk was reparted one one, twelve called Thomas. All of them motherfucker's it's still my friends. I got personal relationships with all of them individually. So you're telling how about death Row? How many relationships you got with death Row? Everybody? All of this and the what wrong? I mean? I don't know. Have you been listening? It was sold three or four different times? So where does this? What the matter? Did you hear what I just said that people that got taken care of that, I'm here to take care of the people that didn't get can care? You get what I listen to. Just listen to the meeting he got taken care of. That's how they was able to move and shift to sell it, do this and that and that. But the creators and the people behind the scenes didn't get anything. So it's my job to take it now and to rightfully make it worth something. So I can't compensate to people who did something, because right now it's worth nothing. So no one says the game but the people who actually owned it, that was sitting on it to everybody died so they can turn into in a state. But since some of these people are alive, I'm going to create a value for it to where now they can receive some revenues first because I control it now. When it was in the past, we had to wait to get paid because the label gets paid first and the CEO. But guess who that is now, So I'm gonna make sure it's properly handed down the right way to where. Oh, because it's not about because it was about me, I got to move to a whole another country. But like nigga, fuck y'all believe mouth, Yeah exactly, But it's not about me. It's about the position that I got to give. I'm a giver, That's what I'm a natural giver. All I wanted was my masters, remember the initial conversation. All I wanted was my Doggie style masters. But seeing that if I just didn't, if I just did that, then that would be selfish because then I was gonna be straight and I was gonna take care of me, and it was ef It was a group effort that wanted to making Snoop Dogg who he is. And if I got the power to position myself to make sure that everybody is conversated, right, then that's what the funk I'm gonna do. That's what I'm supposed to do. That's that's so let me let me so let me ask you doggy style the chronic. We're trying to get all that? I got all that? What are you talking about? Did you let me stopped drinking? Man? I needed to reiterate that all schematics. I told you how wanted to get my masters first. It was too high just for my one man. So I ended up getting the label the I P no Masters. Then when I announced that I had the I P Niggas was talking so much it forced me to go get everything. Why when you got the masters and the publish? Because I was like, I don't need no discussion. I need to be able to make moves so I can provide for my people, because if I leave this out there when it's time for me to sell it, I gotta check with him. He may not want to make sure they get paid. But if I got it all, then I'm the one that controls when it makes money, who gets paid. So we took a dog powder dph everything r b X Lady of rage year me. I'm just warn g and these as people that haven't been compensated. Like fully, you know what wrang you did for death? Jim, he saved him, was never compensated for that. Never conversate from the West Coast if you don't get out of here. So let's just be honest. At that time, up jam was a East Coast centered label, right, that's true. Were West Coast artists saved them, you would think that on the save or to come back, it'd be like, since we didn't ended up getting jay Z d M, Max Murder, ain't blah blah, Brianna, Kanye Justin bieber More, he go tim My Nigga for giving us nothing. But it's okay, we're gonna regulate more, regulate. We're gonna regulate, regulate, make some noise for the regulation. All right, let's get into your wands and spirits because you ain't you ain't. You ain't really drink none of that. No, just a little bit, you know, we get money off of it, Okay, let pill me some of that cool got to show you the trick what you're doing some of that come on, come on, I couldn't sell crack with you, niggaigga to be and how most of the let me try another one thought. We're trying to seal this key, nig Sloop. I'm gonna be honest, Sloop. We love you, we honor you, we cherish you, but we want to also give you your flowers in your face real time. Come on, do it the first time you came around, but this time you want to make we didn't do this the first time. We want to honor you properly. Won't get your flower in your face. I love the baby right here, man, I appreciate it. You know, we don't never really do it for this, but when we get it, this made more than any award that you can get on some real ship, because it means that you appreciated by your peers, You appreciated by the people that you're do it for a lot of times in award shows we fake you don't really know the people that had anything to do with it. But just right here from the heart, it means a lot because I know how real y'all are. I know where y'all come from. I know y'all move as a unit. So to the whole drink Champs family. I appreciate, not except my flowers. The Sloop. I ain't gonna lie. We love you, Snoop, I ain't a lot like like real real talk. I hadn't sit down with jay Z and tell him Snoop is the most famous rapper ever. What do you say? He agreed? He did not really no, but stoop did you really say? Did he just say that? He just he just swoops. But listen what he's saying. This is no nigger in the world. Up let. You can't go nowhere in the world and the nigga not recognized. You can you go to a bagel shop that's Jewish god named Diego. It's one spot that I used. It's spot I used to be able to go to and then my cover got blown. I just going there all the time. It was an Asian Um grocery store. They had the best meat in town. That ship was bomb. They meat was just amazing, the fish and everything. So I'm in the back one day with the butcher. It's like the third time I didn't want up in there that nig come out the back this time he got cameras in all kinds. I knew. I knew, you come on making take a picture of right now. You can't go nowhere, I guess not. I mean that's that's a good thing though, because it's you know, a lot of people don't don't understand success and understand fame enjoyed. I truly get a kick out of how to make people feel like I watched certain videos on Michael Jackson right like, they got like a video of him in the backseat of a car and it's like a million fans outside and you could just hear him talking about look at her over there, look at that one, and he rolling one down. He he waved at him. It's like the fascination of knowing that people love you is a feeling that only a few have, and it's a beautiful feeling. And it's like we know how to cherish it, we know how to hold on to it, and we know how to make people feel a part of it. And that's like a gift that I have to where the people that love me, I don't call him my fans, they like my family because when they see me It's like they knew me their whole life. They're like, yeah, if I got if I got a bad attitude, that day would be like, oh, it's all right, we know you don't want. They don't even be tripping, like what fun you didn't we buying your records. They'd be lined up out there with like it'd be cold as fucking some of these places, like I'm talking about like two degrees. I see you on Puffy go to Fatburger and seven eleven. I put puff in the car and then we went to that. We went to Bishop magic one house and they pulled up. They drove to South funchro LEO can get in nickel, let me going knock on the door like this. The church opened up. Church is green, it's green, and there's green puppy sitting down and enjoy yourself. You're with the bishop Jack doing the hood. We're good. The bishop dogar. You don't remember that. I remember that. We went up the stairs and all my famous players bring him to the bishop house because the bishop, the bishop, who does that? Damn? What how does that peaking man's field hood? So I just feel like I'm popt. I feel like I said I don't know what what. Bishop has always been to me as my spiritual advisor, and nobody understood what that meant. But he was always the one in my life, like putting God in my life, as crazy as it is. He's the one that created the slang church, right. So church means that we take God everywhere we go. So every time you hear I say church, that means we got God with us and he's gonna protect us, and we ain't gonna do nothing out of pocket. And if we do do something out of pocket, he gonna make sure we get back home because we're in church. Hello, Hello Church and the buildings to people, there was a real bad time in death row right where Snoop was over here, show was over here, and like I used to go to parties. I used to come out here in l A and I just see this mad blood cars in front and this this will be a Sloop Dogg party and Snoop you still come? How did we get from there to here? Like where are you? And Sugar at me? And should cool? Um, I'm cool with everybody? Like I said, Um, I wouldn't. I wouldn't became the bigger man and told people that I want to men this. I don't want it to go on no further, and put that conversation together and put songs out. The show where I was at, I had a song called let Bygones be Bygones. I do all sorts of things, even in this movie. I just put out back on death Row. I gave him a shout out, gave him some love on the great things that he's done for me and my career. So I just feel like people gotta understand that we're moving forward. And when you move forward, you're going forward. You're not looking back. All the things we did as young kids or young men. I can't change that. But but as a fifth year old man's my job would do what's right. My grandfather, I got six grandkids, I got grand kids, six children to chill out. You can't want them to stop this ship. You can't. I want grandchildren, you want to be a grandchildren. I don't want to be finger popping ship relaxed. That's fun, though, I ain't no real ship. When I was young, hip hop at the life expectancy about four years. If that you get out four years and that that was your run. You did that? Then I watched LLL coolj do like twelve right, and I'm like, okay, it can't be done. Somebody can't run. So I said, when I get in, I'm gonna rewrite this ship trying to do two. No, I'm on thirty right now. Talk to me, Talk to me, talk to me nice. If it ain't it saying Snoop I'm gonna be honest, there's no one more famous than Snoop Dogg. You're probably the most famous rapper there is. And I stand on this more than just rapper, no nigga. Grandmother knows who Snoop dog is. Like, you could go look little little camera guys. Look, he said. You go to the grandmother and be like, you know, Snop West like, yeah, Snoop today, Grandma like a cool Grandma. I'm supposed to babysit, Grandma. Grandma said, I'm I'm school snow today. Grandma like cool. Wow. I don't know what that attributes to because you can't go new wist no from a from a grandmama to a two or three year old baby. One of the kids I coached my football league. He came over here to my granddaughter's birthday a couple of days ago. His daughter is like two or three, and I coached him two year No, he's he's he's twenty five now, but I coached him when he was like eight years old. So he got his daughter in his arms and I'm playing with him and mama and he's like, who is that? She said, Snoop Dogg. I'm like, how the hell does she know who I am? And he's like, Oh, we've just seen you in this movie and we've seen we watch you and Nickelodeon. I'll be forgetting all this ship I've done for kids that stays in their head. So that's why we created death Row Kids and g Funk Lullabies coming up soon too. Death Row Kids and g Funk Lullabies. Talk to me, we we forgot about the kids. We want to educate them to what does luais mean? Like singing like the songs? Kids don't do it like that. We similar things. We're looking out for the future, the next generation of like you said, the next generation of people that can do this, just like we're looking for the next generation of kids that can wrap and become businessmen and not just be the ones in front of the camera, but be the ones who directed and run the whole show because we're tired of being the step and fetch it always gotta be dance and then showing we want to be the executive. We want more chairman, we want more owners of labels. I shouldn't be the only one in the game that could turn around and buy the label that he was on. This should be inspiring to be like, Okay, I want to buy back my label that I sold. I want to buy back this that I sold because I understand the value and something that I helped create, rather than selling it to somebody who's gonna depreciate the value, to shet me down until I die and then bring it back up when I'm when I'm gone. So what's that call? When depth yam? Of course I want you to be the president because jay Z was just recently the president, and jay Z receives a lot of slack. That's my brother, but he received a lot of slack for being the president. But you turned around and you signed being in the butcher. You did the right thing, kind of like you kind of like sign you kind of exactly what we wanted a West Coast nigga to do. I'm sorry, and a real hip hop had but I'm in the street. I'm in the street, so I know what's hot and what's not. And how that happened was I flew to New York out of my own pocket right before I signed the deal with death Jam, just to show them what they was getting. Because remember I asked for the job, they ain't hiring me. I wanted to know. I want to work for you because they wouldn't get me death Throw, so I want to come put my executive hand down over here and help out some artists that need some help. Went over there and put that play in effect, made that happen. Then from that one move right there, then they started to respect the fact that Snoop Dogg know what he's doing. But I gotta sign somebody though. Let me signed somebody who who y'all been trying to get. Y'all can't get. The Butcher sold me. I'm in New York, and who kid is in the studio? Would Benny the Butcher? And who kids like my street team nigga? He like I got Benny over him, like sending over. I never met Cub Cub come to the studio. When he walked in, I gotta beat plan. I know he's gonna like it to beat his bag. He walked in. We chop up. I'm like, what's happing? What you're doing? Like? I ain't doinging? Like? He like, what's up with that beat? I said, it's yours, nigga, Bust wrote to it. After he finished rapping, I set him down. What's up with you? In death Cham? I tried to get this and they low balled me. They low bald you. Yeah, man, I said that, nigga. They don't know you were staring. Nigga. You're the hottest nick in New York a matter of fact. I said, what you want? He said what he want? I said, I'm gonna call the boss snigger, and you're gonna tell the boss what you want, and he's gonna give you what you want. You're gonna be signed. Hello. Yeah, I got Benny the butcher Wright and he's gonna tell you what he wants. You're gonna give it to him. Yeah. I need get a phone back to Snoop done. Deal can't saying what's putting us on? You can't go to West without the e s Holy moldy huacamone straight up now. But I felt good about that movie because I like to see young people like that get what they're supposed to get and maintain ConTroll and not be holed out, because a lot of Niggers would have had to take a different approach for there to give you a whole lot of money, to lock you up for a long time and to set you down, and they don't put your records on how you wan. He's in the private position, so when you bring you moon, you can talk to him and get the other half of the tu get the other half of the store and hear you know what I'm saying here, Tell you if I'm lying from telling the motherfucking tum snoop. I don't know one thing about snoop because we know it's for yourself. Let me let me can't come for yourself, spade, I'm mixed up. You mix it up, mix it up, come for you know. I work for a space. You just another ship. Let me say that you just got another zero that's actually a good mix. Yeah, let me let me get some of that. Let me get let's get some of that. I'm gonna do so so I'm not gonna lie to you. The death Row bad Boy collaboration. What are we talking about? What are we doing well right now? It is just an idea. It's just it's just an idea that two black men who actually owned that name. I felt like it's so much negative energy around that name that we could clear it up. And We've been working with each other. I'm a puff house all the time. He funk with me, my kids, funk with his kids. So it's not like a gimmick or a publicity stunt to try to make some money or make somebody happy. It's actually what what the world needs. They need hip hop to know that it's okay to have a bad you know, beginning, as long as you get the end of right. I'm the perfect example. Me and death Row didn't have the greatest relationship, but look at it now. Look I'm representing how I feel now and how everybody is happy about death Roll because Snoop got it and it's a different atmosphere, so it should be the same feeling about collaboration. So I'm just trying to put love in the air, and I'm not trying to make nobody feel no kind of way. I respect everybody's point of view and their feelings, but until you see exactly what we're doing, I think you should really hold back on your thoughts until you let us execute what we're trying to do, because as black people all the time, we got to shoot each other down before we even get started. Like, come on, man, give us some love for for trying to do something that. Don't make me have to call you out your name or come ash you negative because you shoot negative energy. How about you say, hey, can I get on the phone with Snoop and puffing and tell them what I feel because I feel like I just want to speak on my feeling on it. And in that way, we could tell him we wasn't even trying to go down that lane. We're on something different. Maybe it's about our kids. You don't even know what the bad Boy Death Roll collaboration is about. It could be about our kids. It could be about the future. It could be about you know, his twins. It could be about you know, the future of where life should be, where we don't have to have conflict in the beginning, because if you look at the hip hop music industry right now, it is driven by conflict. And if we could change the narrative to say that you can differ from that and get straight to the love of it all because when people love each other and travel and make money, those relationships tend to last longer than the ones. Well, I can't do a show with you because I don't like you, or my homies don't like you. You said a song about me, And now when we're in the same building, somebody got to do something because we don't want to go back to the hood and feel like we got pumped when it should be hold on, we want to go back to the hood saying that we create more avenues and yeah, that's what it's about. So let me ask you, because did you think that the conflicts would still be here like they were in the nineties? Did it? Because I always think back to self destruction and we're all in the same gang, Like, why couldn't that remedy things? So we're not here today the way we are right now. I think it is those things worked because what didn't continue to happen more often the industry is controlled by the people up top. They controlled the narrative. They want you to hear what that top, right, But in general they did they did uh self destruction And on the West coast we had were all on the same which with the most impactful wrappers at the time to say that we're tired of this violence and we're gonna stand up and say something about it because we're tired of it. And that worked to a certain extent to where it created conversations where different people from different neighborhoods to communicate because at that point in time, crips couldn't go in blood neighborhoods and it was the same way around. But after that happened communication on the same day. And then when the riots happened in ninety two after Kingo, the day the niggas took over, that's when everything was beautiful in California because now we could actually dialogue, roll together, we can ride on some motherfucker's together. As negative as it was, it was positive and beautiful for us because it showed us how to take off. Was aiming somewhere else because we were so used to doing this ship to I want to do right with y'all. Oh, we got it in. I mean, they got the period. You. I ain't gonna lie because I want to give it up to y'all because most New York niggas don't. But the Watts riots, No, this is this is nothing, watch rights, that's watch sent it off. I bought a seventy seven. The watch wires tell Roddy King, wis I ain't gonna lie. We love the nigga right because somebody you've never heard East Coast give it off for y'all. Listen, I'm gonna give it up for y'all nigger. We were looking like, what the fund are they doing out there, and we were like, yeah, it's gotta be one. It's gotta be one brother in the family to go outside and be like fuck that I ain't with this ship. And then it makes the other brothers around up in the house. We like, then it's a because let me tell you what happened out there on the West. Everybody didn't just jump at it like that. I was at home in Long Beach watching on the news after the verdict went down, and it popped off in l A first. So when it was in the next county, you like, the next count I'm gonna give you the whole dynamics. It pops off in l A. We're at home watching on TV. So homies like fun that could we need to get in the mix. And we jumped in the car and we're driving to l A. For all, while we're driving to l A. Ain't nothing happened in the Long Beach, nothing happened in Carson Compton, lynn Wood. As soon as we get to Englewood in l A. As fire as its ship popping, Like damn, they're getting it in the cars up in all kind of ship. They're getting every day radio every day. So now we're like, we gotta go back to the house. So now we're driving back the ship popping in every city that we passed by. In the beginning with popping, I going to the pit boys nigga my hair status and they're stealing motor aire. You you're like getting all kind of ship. We get to the car and get back to the hood, and that ship is all over the whole world now. But we watched TIW that ship spread from l A back to my city and Long Beach. So the l A Niggs kicked it off first. They're the ones who understand me that instruct the flame. And then everybody else started like jumping in after they kicked it off. Let's be clear, Let's be clear, South central Los Angeles, this is Los Angeles. O J did not do it. Huh A second man, leave me alone, Bill Coby guilty, but old J did not do it. Let's just let's I'm not a lawyer profession Bill Cock, a little ol J did not do it. A lottle man, Bill Cosy guilty as fund you see the bill com I say one, I don't watch. Let's tell subject because she got she got awkward. What about TV right now? What what do you think about like our fifty cent dominating? I think that's Sunday night. Niggas used to watch you see, this is what they don't understand. They got to get that. Nigga credit Nick used to watch HBO every Sunday night faithfully, years and years and years. Now, what's just going on with stories and power and all that ship? Nigga? Switch your much because he's doing quality ship. But not just because it's fifty. Because he's doing quality ship. And not only is that, but he translated from rapper to movie star to like doing movies with a level movie stars. And it wouldn't really translate you like the pastor use the pastor in there. But I love fifty because he got the green light gang, meaning that he give an opportunity to a lot of people that you never knew, and he's making them in the stars, Like he don't have to have a bunch of big name people to make his shows go what you know, But I'm saying, like the stars of his shows aren't big name people. They are people that become stars. They become you know, when you've seen ghosts, ghost became ghost Nigga still think he goes Niggas, sink Tarkas, Tari Canan is Canaan and the white boy Tommy Tommy, whoever that is, that's when I call him still. So that means that the acting and that ship is so good to well, you can't get that character out your mind. Even if he is something else, you still think he that nigger. That's great. We just we just want to let me feel good about myself this little I ain't gonna lie to you, my brother, you are probably the most famous brother. We already said that, we already stabbed. No, no, we already established that. No no, no, we already said that, established that. But but what's what's crazy? You down the earth like I've never seen you anywhere where. You just like what a cause and just like just like just threw me off like you always stood there and what's up? What's it wrong? Am? Like? That's genius to me because in my mind pop off in my mind. To me, that's like, that's who I am. Like wherever I am, somebody say something to me, I say, oh, say come on, but Snoop you're Snoop Dogg. I'm just like you. That's you. Gotta think of it like that the same way you move with that spirit. You don't never let the moment get bigger than who you really are. This is who I am all the time, whether it's a cameraon, no matter what's going on, this is me, and I love being me and I ain't gonna never change being me. So that's the easiest ship to do is to be me. So it's not about turning it own to turn it off. This is who I am at all times. I love the people that love me. When you love me, you make me love you more because you're appreciating the fact that I've done something that affects you. Okay, Still great day, nigger a k nigger, although I've grown a lot, keep it home a lot. What the fuck did did Jay send y'all this record? Man? Jay Z killed us on that record? How then did you got to him? He won't. We quite with the crip. The crip because he was like, yeah, this is gonna do my ship. I'm watching. I called on me. Excuse me, I don't called on me. I see what's going on. And I meet the home me afterwards, and he said, Yo, listen, the white guy, I do call to make sure fifth he was there. This is this is his his words make sense to me. But I'm watching you. You krip walking and the white people love that you're walking. You get away. It's just a it's a ritual. It's a tribal thing, you know what I mean. So they have to allow us to express our inner feelings when we're in that moment. It's the tribal thing. It was about the tribes. It was about the people from ancestors from years and years ago who created this thing that we do. That's about the movement to sound the feeling. And it's just back to the roots of where I come from, my people. You know, I'm just the representation of my ancestors. I'm a spirit that was here before. Now it's finally being recognized. That's what I think I am. I think I'm one of them. Gods from back in the days. That's finally being recognized and now he can profess his mission while he's here. But let me let let's subscribe this call. Dr Drake calls you and says I want you to perform for super Bowl. This want No. Dr Drake called to say they want me to do the super Bowl. I don't know if I want to do it. So you say that again, he said. Dr Drake called and said they want me to do the super Bowl. I don't know if I want to do I don't know if I want to do it. Yeah, he wasn't used I want to do it. I don't think I don't think it was I want to do it any time he called me any time to call me, but called Snupan says I might and I'm sure if I wouldn't do it. No, you canvince him no. No. You know what it's about. One thing you got to know about Andre's he's a guy that's in the moment. So if he don't feel like he got a record that's relevant at the moment, then he don't feel like he is the moment. But the convincing is your records don't have no moment connected to him. They are the moment you feel them saying. So the convincing was more or less about what did you say? What did you say? Nigga, I'm with you? Nigga won the dogs? Then what your Your confidence level goes off the roof because you know, dog won't carry most of the weight. Dog gonna make your right. Dog don't have a personality. And once you get the dog to the next call is to get hi. My name is Hi, my name is Did you suggested? I didn't suggest the motherfucking thing? I said, I have no problems. The only thing I suggested was I was like, can we do g Thing? Because I felt like g Thing was the pinnacle moment of who we are despite it being such an old record. You pop the bit titties out. Yeah, but I just feel like that soon was the soon and made America come into hip hop. You get what I'm saying. You definitely gotta so you can continue. So Drake calls you. I didn't know how this conversation happened. Drake calls you and says, we're doing the super Bowl in l A. WHOA did you say? Cause that's the crazy part. You don't say, cause my mom. Dr Drake said, cause you don't talk like that. We say, cause, all right, we're doing We're doing your own we're doing it. Once he said that we was doing it, went from were doing the super Bowl too. Now we have to do a commercial to blow their fucking mind because we want them to know what they're gonna get. So now Dre had to wrap his mind around because this was one of the time when it was like Puffy Wanta versus. And he's like, man, I can't think about that. This ship right, here's what I'm thinking about. Let me come up with a commercial real quick so niggas could stop talking about me in the verses. I want to suck him up on a commercial real quick. By the time I get to your super Bowl stage, won't be no conversation. So the commercial, have Gary Gray come through, put the cold treatment down. The whole ship is flying on pay for the ship look dope as fun. Then the nigga shoot it and it looked better in real life. Then we drop it. By the whole game is stuck. Oh wow, oh wow. So now he owned next what the stage gonna look like, What songs we're gonna do, what's gonna be the movements that's going down inside of the on me. So now he's going into full alone creative mode. So now that's when we leave him alone. We let him go, you know, be the scientists that he is. And then when he come back, he's gonna roll out what he roll out, and you need to be on point, on time, ready to go, ready to rehearse, ready to have your ship on deck and be flawless. He demands that you know what I'm saying. You don't say it, but he demands that. And that's just what everybody that was called in brings to the table. And when I got called in, I didn't look around and say who was there, who wasn't there? I was just happy I was there and went to work for How much rehears does it take for those twelve minutes, because it seems like we're probably a month intensive, a month cool month, Wow, that's what I was said, and then probably what's set afterwards, they're like probably three weeks without great weeks without the set, and then one week with the set but bits and pieces. Then we finally had the whole set at the Super Bowl, like I think the day or two before, and then it was so time, and this is in the middle of a game. So it's like the way ship moved fastest. Niggers at home don't even be seeing I fast this ship go like nigga. W them say halftime like Harry up and then over the struck. I need to get there for a song because do the no. No, it's a spect this record, and I never pleased it. Which one I got? I got? You got sph with me and you need to put let me put that out in the matter verse.

I'm packing. I grabbed my three a d. But what we stayed at, niggas looks shady. But they can't faith South Central because busting the cap is fundamental. Peeping out every block close seeing which one would clock the motion. Yeah, this is the one, no doubt, bust of youth bone unlet's clear these niggas out now, clearing them out.

By the way, I'm goosed to eat these flowers no flowers video? Alright, you ready to snoop? Yeah, I'm gonna see what to do with it. I don't want to juice like you. Jack City. What you say Juice or New jack City? Motherfucker need no brom sit, You're fine, I'll ask Damn all right? Good kid? Mad City or Michael Jackson? What the fun can you say? Can you say the documentary was kid right? I ain't got do with the kid? Bad say, I'm gonna go with k K. Last question, loyalty or respect? Love? That's the that's the that's the answer. That is the answer that Listen, we've been doing this for six years and we've been telling people that's not uh, there's nothing wrong arrest for love and respect. Love and respect is it's just loyalty. It's just like, it's just so what you just said, we really appreciate that because it's just love. That's that's that's just that's the ultimate goal, man. Because you could say loyalty, you can say respect. But how loyal is somebody gonna be and how much respect they're gonna give you if they don't love you? We both have loopholes, Yeah, but if you put love in it and all, lets you come with it. God. So now let's get to it. What is actually Death Row and bad Boy actually doing. Let's get to it. Um, Well, actually we don't. We don't have no plan just yet. What what happened was the great things that I'm doing over the metaverse, and then the thing with me acquiring death Row made my good friend Puffy call me and say that he would love to do a collaboration for the simple fact that I have control of it and it's in, you know, a peaceful position now, and he's always had bad Boy in the peaceful position. So this is just a conversation that we had. It's not thought out yet, but I feel like when we do sit down and really chop it up and come up with a real game plan, we'll take everybody's thoughts into consideration. The people that I feel like, you know, it shouldn't be out because of certain lives are lost, and that's some of the things that we're doing it for, because we don't want any more lives to be lost. We don't want any more people to feel like they have to feel a kind of way when they hear those two names. They should feel, you know, the way that they feel when they hear the music that come from those two names. When you think of bad Boy music and Death From music, it makes you feel good. So if you've got two people from Bad Boy and two people from Death Row that could really make ship work. Why not let the four come together and make it happen. And if you got two of them that can make it work, then it's gonna happen. Because we tried this before and it didn't work. And now you got Puffy and Snow before well won one pot, Biggie sure, and Puffy was alive. I believe that they tried to have a conversation and never went no where. It's crazy. It was people that was trying to make it disappear before it went that far. You gotta know that, you know about them together, Yeah, about at least having a conversation to get some understanding, and it didn't. It never win. So now there's just two people in the equation, me and Pelf and there's nobody to stop us to win. That's fine, right, that's fine. And you know what, drink Champs, y'all, y'all heard it first. We're gonna be here to support that motherfucker to make sure that what is it bad bro? No, No, no, it's it's it's not it's not even I won't even say it's anything. And I think it's more about this seriod of changing the narrative of what you thought it was. You know, I wanted to be about the music and the way you feel when you hear the music that comes from these two brands. If I play bad Boy music right now on Death Row music right now, y'all gonna feel some kind of way that is fire. And this isn't the metaverse or n f T S or what exactly. You're still working that those on that side of the world you're doing this stuff on in sandbox right. Sand Box is one of the components that I do. You're you're not exclusive with exclusive nobody but Snoop Dogg. That's the only person I can control. Jess. Something's not gonna don't love, give me love, Snoop, I ain't gonna last. Snoop. We love you, bro, I love you too. When I love y'all for showing up and showing up like on some real ship. I know that y'all don't move like that. Y'all usually have people pull up and y'all ship is so you know, tied in with the what y'all do. So for y'all to be able to get on the plane to come see me, to come see Mika because Mikasa Suka, I appreciate you can't stand what I'm saying. So it's a love thing. Now, y'all know, whenever y'all touchdown in l A seven minutes from l a EGX, you got a spot you can come. Chi'll let your head down and roll some smoke, something, drink some order, use to fool. You may want to record a song or something. I don't know what you want, don't want. I don't know if I wanted to record a song with Matt. You may want to shoot some dice like my like that, I like that my left woman. We all sighed, Hey, man, you may not be able to go to Disneyland, but you show can go to dog You Land. You know, listen, w bathrooms. I want to make it right for you when y'all pull up. Man. I mean, when I was building this building, I was thinking about, right the rapper, the businessman, and the and the homies that come in town that don't want to go to Hollywood, that don't want to drive way through all of that ship. They want to be able to come someplace where they can jump off a plane, set up job chier. What they you know, what I'm saying, they've got a hotel room by close or not. It's it's a little bit would pick me woa, That's what it is. I mean they love me like I love them. Like when you come into a community and you start doing things, you start making things happen, and you start aiming to the kids and you give maxim nigger. So I've been I've been a part of Inglewood before I was in Inglewood, but now to actually physically be here to do things where I give back and I find opportunities in our find ways to make sure that I'm trying the kids in the future into the into the into the jobs. Not just looking out for the older homies, but the young was the ones that's in high school or even a couple of we have a special needs girl that works at our story that we're giving the opportunity to. We help out all sorts of people. So it's not just about us trying to come to a neighborhood and identify to the gang bangers, but we're trying to identify the people who want to change the community. And sometimes those gang bankers want to change. They just needed opportunity to Jesus. He killed that I have nothing else more to say. Oh yeah, let me say this. And Long Beach we're trying to get some peace in my city too, So we're doing some things in my hood where we're trying to create peace and create opportunities for my long homies to stop killing each other. And I'm trying to show them this metaverse n f T place where they can find ways to make finances because normally, when you tell homies to stop killing each other, they can do that. But then when it when you leave, then there's like the question is how do we make money? We stopped killing each other, but you don't want us to sell dope, You don't want us to do nothing negative. What can you bring or what could you provide? So this metaverse n f T space is so new. I want to be able to provide some of my homies that don't want to kill no more the opportunity to try to be business man. Thank you, Thank you all, Thank you, thank you brother. I appreciate you all. Drake Champs and the motherfucking hell Yeah, we got you. We got you. That's in it, that's in it with this. How the funk are you control of death? Row Tell everyone. How yeah, Well, first thing I did was snatched all the music off for those platforms traditionally known to people because those platforms don't pay, and those platforms get millions and millions and millions of streams and nobody gets paid other than the record labels. So what I want to do is snatch my music off, create a platform which is something so similar to Amazon, Netflix, Hulu, to be a death row app, and then the music. In the meantime, we're living the stop you first, stop you, but you're saying that you stopped people from to stop. Go to Spotify right now and look up that from music. See how much you can find. We don't leave you, We don't play. It's called power, it's called control. It's like if you don't oh, I did it on purpose because when it comes back up, everything everything, and now when they when they finally decided to put some respect on them streams, because nobody in here can tell you what a stream as up to it's a fraction of a penny, it's a third of a penny. So you get a hundred million streams and you don't make a million dollars, So what the fund is that? But you want me to keep giving you my music, but somebody making the money and it ain't me, and I can't. I can't afford to keep doing that. And I want to create an avenue to where I can show people how to not always have to go through the slave trade, but create our own trade. We're engaging with our own fans. That's buying our music. That's you know, making money off of the music, and they're making us money off of the music, you know, by being traded and sold. And now what I'm doing next is I'm putting together how to how to get into the metaverse. Only gonna get it out there to my life. Two people sell it for like ten dollars, So anybody that wants to get in that wants to learn, it's only gonna be exclusive to two d people for ten dollars. We let you come get the information highline on how to get in and how to register and how to get your ship in there, and we'll give you a token on the way in, so that way when you get in, you won't get in with nothing in your bank account. That's big. I ain't gonna last loop. That was probably the illest ship we've ever heard. Chaps this is this is real talk. So that's what you're saying is that I got it noryous mind now, right, So what I didn't want to do. I didn't want to get death Brow records and make it what it was. Right when you hear Snoop Dogg got Deathbrow records, you naturally feel like West Coast hip hop gangster ship blah blah blah. You don't think about executive moves. You don't think about a hundred million dollar business. You don't think about exactly, You don't think about futuristic thinking and training of thought to where now we're making this brand what it's supposed to be. For many years, I bought myself brand. Other people ship. They gotta helped brand Instagram. I'm the first celebrity on Instagram, and they brag about that ship. They no nigga, Snoop Dogg. Yeah, So they do symposiums where they have their conversations about how the company became a billion dollar company. So the CEO will have a little headpiece on it. You know, when we first started Instagram, our company was a small company and then there's this one celebrity that you know, got on our page and started blowing it up, and then we became a hundred billion dollar company that you know that celebrity is it's Snoop Dogg and everybody in the crowd clapping this ship and I'm just talking about it. They didn't, and that's that's what made me see that. Okay, even what I do for Corona, you know what I'm saying. When you see me in Corocial commercials for Corona in best goll right, this is this is like, this is a real nickel doing commercials for com So it's like if I can brand this everyday ship, you don't think I can bring some ship that I helped bill for real. This is more believable than that ship. I don't even drink that ship. I live this ship though the death Row shot, I'll live it. That's why if you look out now and so many people weren't death Row ship. You see it everywhere now. No, but let me ask you, how was it even if somebody even pro to you with a death Row concept? Did nobody approach I don't want. I had to initiate the contact on that. They weren't trying to sell it. They was gonna hold on to it and let everybody die and just get paid forever. So what happened These guys come to you and say, mm hmmm, somebody I know knew who had it and put in touch with the guys that had it, and once we communicated the guy that had it, one of the guys that had it was a fan of Snoop Doog. So when I so when I naturally said, hey, man, I just want my master's back. Like, man, I ain't got no problem with that. I want you to have your ship back. This is what it cost. God damn, I don't either a bad motherfucker. Are you shaking me up? Yeah? Like I gotta pay for my ship was damn. But from that conversation, from from that to understanding, like I said, I don't need that right now. I need this right now because this is that I can make. I can make some new ship to pacify until I get that. And that's what I did. Were back on death bro. So the first record I dropped, no on death row. Don't get it sucked up. It's called be right, it's called b O d R. It's called on death row. So that was I was putting that in everybody face before the Super Bowl and the Super bowl came, Bump dropped the album the next day on the metaverse. That made one million the first day. Oh yeah, in the real okay, but in the ring, in the real world, it's streamed like nine million over here, seven million over here, and it only got like thirty four thousand downloads, which only added up to about nothing. So so how do you feel? How do you think I feel about traditional based off of what I did over here? And guess what the nigga is over here. I ain't even touched album yet. No, I'm saying they had to wait. It's a it's a situation that we gottam you know, you they buy a certain piece in the element and they get this and that and that. But it's a it's it's how the system works over here. So while we're over here, you know, training the mind on. I need a video, I need radio, I need this, I need all these and motherfucker's don't add up to no money. I didn't have no streams, no videos, none of that ship, no radio, none of that ship don't matter verse, And I just told you how many millions in May without none of that ship. So now when I dropped the record, everybody like b O d R. What does that mean? So I tell him back on death Rock. Oh, I know why you called it back on death row because you're back on death row. Now that ain't why I called it that back because our own death row. Try that over side, I say, back, don't we need you back? He didn't went to the whole the money changing the better? Right? You know you're where do you figure out what you faith? Typically worl Why do you still love this game? Why? Like, we'll talk, but I don't love this game. I'm like, what do you see a little? Well? Do you know what? Because the game loved me back. They don't know what to do without me, you know what I'm saying. So it is what it is we made for each other. You know what I mean that this is my life, this is my calling. Like one thing I can say about like when you think about rock and roll music, right, the Rolling Stones old as the motherfucker, But you don't put no age on them. You put the fact that they classic they still do their ship and they get down and they give you the greatest ship you've ever seen since the last time you've seen them. We got to get that in our heads that we don't have no time living on greatness. If we're gonna be great, we might aspo be great while we're here. I had the opportunity to have a conversation with James Brown, a three hour conversation with James Brown, and some things that he told me that remained in my life now to make me stronger than I had conversation with Muhammad Ali when he could speak. So I didn't have a conversation with some of the great ones. And I understand the object of being in the game. It's not a game. The game is g A and me general amount of money earning. That's the game. Come on, as much he can't in talking about you ain't gotta put that on up? What the sorry say? Wrap it up, Deshan, just say get this nigga. Some be honest too see it. But that's that's Let's let's take some pictures your lover, a couple of come on, come on, baby, baby, my baby, my baby baby.
