heading in Breakfast Club the old GG was happening my brand I'm slow motion with the post she trying to get to the ocean who still having fun I did a pool party weekend and I see my cool part if 50 Cent's ah cool part I see you have so much fun he was the everybody section he was chasing Trey Songz down with water guns hitting casted over the water guns wife and Lucci he even made was the last rapper to leave that's what I found out like I'm having so much fun of this party they say you know 50 left two hours ago was Annie and I had to figure out how to get out of there did she ask you like yo can you give me an I wouldn't even that conversation won't even like that yeah yeah they even go that way I had I have fun I didn't put one plus one together to her 50 was not like cool I was just so some of em are and I'm up and then I see no Instagram later like oh oh oh no you leave you gonna give it to somebody you had a good time but you're on the poster everything that's going on that's why and you're right I did kind of forget that they didn't get along when I first saw the story but you pay attention to all of that stuff that's happening yes and I was like right in the middle of it because I like both of them I get animal both home but I was a guest of 50 so I didn't want to ruin my little invitation to get thrown out hello Snoop Dogg I don't know but I just wanted to be on best behavior with 50 cuz he be charged them fools up lately good to see you having so much fun like that especially in New York because at one time you it was just so much it was tension tension and beef just I mean if y'all would have seen snow it just it just made me smile because he's running from section and section no security you were just having a good time so how does it feel to be able to just that's the love Layton is they they giving me that you know when you when you weren't getting it you were not like that but if you get anything you feeling that you got to go give it back and I felt like New York always loved me I just felt like it was a miscommunication and a misunderstanding a certain point but I always maintained my understanding with them cuz I stayed in their face and I gave it to him and I told him how I felt about certain situations and they respected that so now that I'm able to become a grown man and really look at the rap game for what it's worth I can come have fun with my nephews and party like the cool uncle that shows up and be like man my uncle is in me you know my uncle one little my grandmama in the garage oh he's got to go we here got the chrome got the CDs him here I always wondered you ever feel like you got like survivors survivors remorse or something like that I don't know I mean I played a game that we're supposed to be played so I look at it is I look at what it's worth for what it's worth like every year I find myself being a part of a song that the whole world loves and don't even be like no scheduled or planned out thing it just be like somebody to call me be like I got a song and then I'm back in the game I'm back relevant again as far as musically because it's concerned then I may do some things over here on this side that keep me relevant but it just me being me it's not never me trying to go play a role words like man I feel bad about this role I play later every role I play is so close to me or connected to me don't even feel like I'm playing her I don't even like you using words like relevant you you are legend like you forever this fan base that we have it's up and down wishy-washy social media based and driven that the 15 minutes of fame II thing is like you know way past 15 minutes knew that you also have no issues with anybody and you have this song let bygones be bygones if you talked about up here on The Breakfast Club and even a song like one blood one just having peace around you went serenity and haven't let all these things from the past go and people were shocked when they heard you say me and shook it's cool you know they're like wow how could you be cool after everything that y'all went through but you explained it very well yeah I mean when you when you grow to live and you still on this earth you got to realize what you here for like I wasn't meant to clash with him we came out together it's just it's like brothers like sometime you and your brother your sister y'all get into and you be mad for a little bit but it's like man that's my brother man you know even if you was wrong where he was wrong it becomes a place in your heart where you like I need to forgive him and I need to forgive myself even if I wasn't wrong just because it's like that nowadays you got to be the one to put it forward as opposed to being the one to clash because they are out to get us they have to get all of us and if we're going at each other we making a job easy so I'm like no I'm not gonna buy into that program I'm trying to create a new program with love and really push it and really meaning their stand on it did you come to that conclusion about forgiveness when he was working on your gospel album I think that helped me like shape my vision and shape what I'm here for because the gospel record was something that just came to me overnight like my grandmother had passed away and I was like she always loved gospel music and she could never listen to any of my song so I was like man I feel bad that my grandmama got a famous grandson and she can't quote none of my songs and none of that and I'm like I got to do something for her so when I did it it like it tapped in and my whole love thing with like this is Who I am like I always been cooling the life for the party and Snoop Dogg is like cool with everybody ain't like got no issues and if it is the issue you call me to end the issue so now I'm taking on the role of this is what I'm supposed to do all the time and he wasn't even there to accept your award at the Beatty Awards when you won for best gospel of I was that Mike Epps wedding that's more important of a friend he needed me you know I'm saying so me and my wife went to go get his back because he was you know into the marriage club so when you a black man you know you getting into the marriage club you got to have people around you that's been married to make sure it's okay guide you and help you I'm a man now so it's like I understand I'm not a boy than once like I do boy things I do man things now so being there for my homeboy and making sure him and his wife understand if they got a journey and we're gonna be there for him because ours is up and down but we need that like like they need us that's right like going through things in your marriage makes it even stronger as you come out you feel like things are at its strongest now yeah because the things that that we've been through you know you only see what you see but what you don't see is the the ups and downs the arguments the misunderstandings - I hate you I love you I love you I hate you ok let's get it right I don't want to be with you I don't want to be without you I don't want to see nobody wish you anybody made for you but me it's like a things that y'all go through that we go through that no one has a chance to have a camera on but if you see me walking holding hands with my wife you'll feel like they never argued we regular we argue we fight because each other I would do all the day but just not in front of you yeah and you up and down for a minute yeah minute and a half I want to thank you xx Bob when you said that in your acceptance speech did you know beforehand you was gonna name your on it no I didn't even know I was gonna set it in the speech I was uh I had nothing prepared dr. Dre Quincy Jones when they spoke it was touching to me because it's like I'm still a little a kid inside I'm still a fan of hip-hop and a fan of what I do and I can't believe I done so much and to see them up there speaking for me so now it's my turn to speak I'm very unprepared but I'm a great freestyle there so like you know what I'm just gonna put some together for my heart in bout time I got to the end it was like I didn't thank everybody in my life except me hmm like I feel like I deserve somebody's credit to not being selfish but being you know self respective of myself and loving myself and appreciating what I do so that way I won't have a crisis of be feeling like I need somebody's confirmation in order to keep moving so that's what that was about it just came to me and once it came out people was going crazy about it saying this and said I said let me take that moment and make it into a record because it's warm at in my life right now but you know giving love and also giving low to myself when did you is in that moment you realize I got to start thinking myself I think that's probably what happened because you know when you when you doing what you're doing you don't really never get caught up with what you doing I was explaining this to one of my long as he was like man check it out cuz how could I watch my highlights when I got a game to play tomorrow I don't know what I don't cuz I'm so busy trying to do something else I don't know what movie I was in what TV show what song what what I'm on stage now just to give y'all game I got a teleprompter up here cuz I only remember half and [ __ ] I say I don't want to be if you're not knowing my words and [ __ ] shows like me I'm looking down there okay there's I got that liner I come on the news with this your new records all records Oh know that but it may be a record that the fans want to hear that I ain't standing like 22 years and I'd be like man my mind be like but that boomer Nazis like any click on that is a lot of lyrics to remember though we know worse and over a long period of time have you seen these rap list that came out in the last comment I'm happy with those rap lists because they gave me something to talk about then while [ __ ] is ridiculous very ridiculous so order the arrangement is created to make you get mad I'm not that guy like the young Snoop Dogg would have took off a store name and people are he ain't better than me and he ain't he ain't but that's what that's for that's to make you clash with that rapper who has nothing to do with that link this is probably some fan sent at home that just made that list that's a fan of the bottom rapper but he just mixed it up trying to create that tension but I'm smarter than the average bear yogi so I know not to bite into that I know not to you know pay attention to that list because in my mind I'm not concerned with that list I'm concerned with the list to get up out of here to go to heaven the Rams list and list not to what you're doing right now what you're doing you're going right now what if you look at that listen you ain't on it me and my god haven't understand you he told me last night sure man you better get your act yeah yeah that's my mommy man did you see the conversation we had about two pockets no girl he said from 92 to 96 Snoop was the biggest thought in pocking it wasn't even close well you got to understand that you know coming from the West it's a different perspective than what y'all had out here on the east because at one point in time you got to look at it like what Tupac was that he was on Interscope and they really wasn't pushing him and giving him that his records was always dope was like he always had the best records to hide his songs but if his label wasn't giving him the attention and the push that death-row had in the team and the support that we had he wasn't looked at as big as me but in my eyes he was always big as me or bigger than me he was out before me you know what I'm saying so he was my peer but at the same time it was a level of respect so it was never about him being bigger than me me being bigger than me I mean him being bigger than me or me being bigger than him I actually got him to deathroll records should go get cuz he needs to be with us any the team if you notice the source Awards when we perform that that night when Snoop said all that and Suge said all that yep it was a mannequin or a poster of Tupac in a sale everybody had a sale mmm Tupac's [ __ ] was in a sale but he wasn't even on therefore he wasn't even thought of our being on death row that was me saying I'm gonna cut it be with us I'm on New York you see that we got cut back that we was hearing stories about things that was happening to him in jail and was like we couldn't do nothing healthy so I'm telling sure look we need to go put cuz on our team so I'm sure gonna make a deal happen to get him with us I step and play the back seat deaf role was mine it was my ship that's a fact I moved out to wait till my little cousin - hook us up give him all the beat she was gonna give me Dre give him Californian look Californian love was dr. Dre song that was dr. Dre song whole song give him that we catered the cause because we love him we are fans of his and we happy he's on our team it's like getting a all-star player to come play with two all-stars I likened it to the Warriors getting Kevin during oh my god and then some it's just like that but we wanted him the Warriors took Kevin Durant to the Hamptons and quoted cuz like we need you was that's how we did to party we was friends with Tupac and having a relationship with two pod before death row really he was my friend Wow ya know that then they became friends because sure was the boss and that's what Suge do he treats you like a king and he gave him everything and he deserve it he didn't get when he was on Interscope and then he's watching everything that I got I got a Rolls Royce I got a penthouse I got a big house he's in the penitentiary you don't have none of this so when he get out he coming to court with me every day me and him bond and we become a best of friends we become a Thierry minded thug life DP GC we becoming brothers now now it's like it's nothing you could do to break our bond and we even nobody's bigger than nobody I'm trying to move out the way and let you come in and get all yours I'm working on a door father but door father can wait we just got to rent it's gonna get us a championship the door father may get us to the playoffs but this gonna get us a championship if he look good we look good I'm a team player so I had no problem with bringing him and letting him be a part of our thing because he was gonna give us what we was missing he was gonna put another spark in the building because we was like we was too I say cocky and confident and we felt like what nobody illness I wasn't afraid of bad boy that was my homies mm-hmm but bad boy ruffled some feathers in the building the egg was good and they was using like sort of kinda our technique like old-school music slow flow gangster music and biggie just was dope mmm we respected that but everybody didn't respect it it's just like when a rapper from the West came out that was dope everybody out he didn't respect that right you had to sneak and play my music until it became you ain't playing Snoop Dogg no it's cool now okay you I'm sayin like it's the confirmation that you got to get from the people around you to make sure it's cool so we gave two pockets confirmation before he came to death row because we loved him so it was never a competition thing it was never about who was the hottest from this year to this year it was about trying to win and having him on my team was gonna make us win so when he came to the West like they didn't care about pox movies prior to that before death row yeah juice above the rim poetic justice I didn't make him a star a superstar that's gangsta [ __ ] we talking about we tell my being in the streets in the mix this is me I'm I'm just what I've been doing my whole career yeah mixing it up getting in there you know and pop was the same way he just didn't have this the lights cameras in action he had it when he came out with Digital Underground then when he went so long it's like they pulled back on him instead of going overboard warning I came out with dr. Dre after he left NW we was in competition with eazy-e attention biggest record chronic next album was mine its attention and it's like I got dr. Dre doing my whole record at that time dr. Dre was the greatest producer on grass on earth on water on anything and a half him do your whole record that's a that's a moment that's on some of them kids head that'll never be removed Tupac didn't had that moment til he got with death row right Snoop Dogg take a glass of malone song and nvidia what did you think of that that's his perspective you know when you from the streets you got different perspectives on you know what really happened and what really went down nobody told that story i wouldn't have told you but we knew that story I knew baby lang cuz they got into it with Tupac you know I'm saying like cuz I move around I'm a [ __ ] and I move with crib homies and it's like certain things you doing you don't do when you from the gang culture that's guys to [ __ ] what he did so it was like that's why nobody doing then to him ain't nobody doing he came right up in his [ __ ] did what he did walk the party any back we were yeah cuz that's as a perspective that was never spoke on and it had to be you know I'm saying that's what he felt like he had to do to tell that side of the story but we already knew that side did he share the song with you before he put it out he reached out to me as far as like being a part of the promotion but I was like I was doing my thing so I really couldn't get woody miles focused on my record and I had kind of got wind of what it was I was like I'm just gonna leave it alone so that way when I do support him it'll be genuine I don't want to be a part of whatever he's doing I just want to hear what he doing and I put my input in based off of me hearing what he's doing because I thought it was put it together some people say the best and worst thing that happen in the park was def roto it was hmm it was because the influence he didn't realize how much influence he had but he was very influenced by if that makes sense mm-hmm he could have been more of a leader and more of an influence as opposed to being influenced by like I say this all the time about athletes and entertainers is don't make sense to join a gang after you become successful it don't make sense to become active after you become successful because it don't add look at the results of everybody who became active after they became successful I don't have to say their names they did her day in jail but the ones who were active before they started why do they try not to be active when they get successful because they understand the consequences today you don't see me still trying to keep it gangsta does I know the consequences to that but its enemy I just don't walk with it like that every day that's walking walk through the party peacefully and shaking hands and taking pictures because I don't move like that I don't present myself as I'm looking for problems I present myself like once hadn't it so it's love yeah even on the one blood one cuz you got the guy talking in the beginning and he's speaking on people's opinions or their disapproval of gang unity why did you want to add that because that's active gang member who's doing life who probably killed five or six brothers through gang bang and that's what his conversation is about lingo and McGee what his conversation is about he's telling you that when he was on the streets they was trying to peace but he wasn't woody he was about killing [ __ ] and ain't nobody and his error killed more [ __ ] in him they probably killed as many but not as many [ __ ] as him and he let you know it was worthless now look at where he's at he's in the penitentiary right now doing life the same [ __ ] he was killing it's the same [ __ ] that got his back to sales this way he got some 60s his worst enemy to sales this way he got some Bloods his worst enemy they got to watch each other back when they go to chow they got to look out for each other you gave him saying now you're forced to be a brotherhood when on the streets they was trying to stop you from doing this now you forced to do it so he's trying to give information to those youngsters on the streets that look man I was hard as hell I was gang bang central and I'm in here and I'm telling you it ain't worth it take me for an example don't become the next example so him sharing his story was like perfect for what I was doing because I want to deter you from gangbang ain't a story that ain't a song and make you wanna bang is to make you want to join hands what other bangers to stop banging on each other to much play I [ __ ] when you work hard your hands a fashion to do what his hands it had to be tough to write one blood go one cause because that was kind of about nip to write it took me a minute because I was still trying to um you know translate his death like the massacre like that [ __ ] really broke my heart man that [ __ ] really broke my heart man like it really really broke my heart like for real like like a little kid that get his heart broke so it was like it was kind of hard trying to go in and trying to write something with a spirit of you know how do I celebrate him feeling like I'm feeling how do I represent him in the light that's gonna make the most sense so it was like what he still for was was stopping the gang violence he's from sixty [ __ ] but he loved gang members and he loved Bloods and he loved yg and the bond that he had with the hood and different neighborhoods was impeccable he was like a street soldier so I knew that's what he was about so I want to make a record first of all giving him love and then showing what the spirit was about and then translating his spirit into a song that could be the reason that we should do it in his vein and do it in his lane and do it for his spirit and stir not chill and not bang and not write on each other because if you're doing that you're doing exactly what nipsey don't want you to do he wants you to be together in the role with each other that's why him and why he became best of friends they neighborhood was never supposed to be like that but he forged that you compared nifty to Jesus yeah why not the exploits pounding on that a little bit I mean look at the impact that he had you know I'm saying like the same impact that Jesus had like a lot of people didn't know him but they show one to know what body must he passed away or and then once they found out about him they understood what his what his legacy was about knowledge legacy as living even bigger with him not being here so that's why I say I ain't never seen Jesus what I've been hearing the body and you know we got a lot of faith in him and we know that you know if you believe in him this is gonna happen because you grandparents and the book of the Bible been giving you all this information it's like that's what he is no when we go that's what he's gonna be like because you you can't touch him you can't see him you only have images of him and his image look like Jesus just the black version he definitely doesn't look black go but we know that yeah yeah that's our you understand misconception cuz we've been giving bad direction and bad information so if you got the right information yo if you read the Bible say his hair was like would skin was like bronze they look like me all right just like me a nip you know I'm selling that is its way in shape and then of the bone structure and the eyes and all that I'm looking at it like man please it is what it is it's only been about four months have you found any I guess I don't see ya purpose purpose in his death you know what I don't really understand death and I never did and even as a kid it was like Easter always throw me off cuz I remember the first time that somebody died in my family was one of my uncle's he committed suicide he killed his girlfriend he killed herself and that like just threw a monkey wrench in my fillings and then my grandfather died and it's like every time of death what happened then my homies start dying from gang banging like like all the time like as I went to school would play football with their like you you don't become numb to it but it's like it's the feeling of okay all right I guess it's what it's supposed to be and you know you try to look at why were they here what did they do when they was here and why did I know them and what am I supposed to take from their death and they life and that's what I do because like how was I close to Tupac how I was Biggie my friend how was nipsey my friend and they all not here in the morning I share special moments with him that I'll never speak about some personal things with us that may have been clashing may have been love but you never know about I feel like God put them in my life for a reason hmm because they were impactful in hip-hop just like I'm impactful I feel like what I'm doing is what Biggie and Tupac and nipsey definitely would be doing if they were alive all the great things in the community work and giving back and being positive and being a father all those things is what they were set up to do is just God picks and chooses who he wants to take his plan to the mountain and that's what is me so I'm gonna take it all with us I said it was difficult writing a song with Nate Dogg - yes that's some time that was very difficult because you know they dog is like my childhood friends but that really cut me Deeping in hearing him singing on that song just hearing his voice it made me cry because I know I know what that song meant to him so it took me a while and when I finally brought a writer in I brought in the writer that could write something that could match Nate's you know energy and I didn't want to rap I wanted to sing I wanted to sing and be on the same vibe with him because it's about a relationship I love hey I want to be with you I don't want to be with you that scenario but just stand down because it's one of time and Julian when we finally came up with it I felt good about it I stopped crying and I felt like it could they could really be some some healing that it helped other people not just myself in hearing us together on the song like vocals Nick vocals well it was a tough was it something special that you always wanted to do when you were just waiting man it was a long time he had did that song with Frank probably about two years before he passed away and he just had just his parts and it was blank blank so they never finished it so when he passed away for a record got woman is like I got a couple of songs an eighth I'm just gonna plan for you let me know what you want to do when I heard that I just started crying I was like I like it but I I just came right to it so just give it here hmm and then I live with it for like three years I'll not finally put some money I'll go ask you guys do the music help you get to a place of healing when they come to stuff like this always like is certain like my gospel album when I play that that's when I want to cry that's what I want to like really like but it's to cry for the right reasons it any like crying it's to cry tears of joy and maybe I have some bad vibes I need to get out you know say no on women listen to one of my homies and I wish my home he could see me or be here with me I miss my grandmother it's that moment and that's what I use that gospel out before but didn't like regular music it's either to get in the mold like before I get on stage I gotta have old-school R&B sixties seventies eighties you know somebody's singing falsetto and harmony and female singers I gotta had that because it survived so when I go on stage I had to write energy then when I'm in my car I may listen to rap I may not it depends on what the mood is you start working out so he was working out hard at one point you would see me video you going to the gym every great trial mmm no no what I did was I just I just wanted to fix um you know I'm saying I had to go and get a little but I fixed his eye now my [ __ ] was like one line right so I didn't like that so me a wheeze on tour right we're on tour doing it so he's to be like hey let's take white shirts often and perform on my alright cool so we performing with our shirts off so I'm looking at the video footage are like I cool I'm diggin it cuz we can keep doing this next time we went on tour and they said let's take our shirts off his [ __ ] was like Pilate I'm gonna leave my tank top home yeah I missed a few things this week so then I seen him working out and I said you know what he inspired me he makes me want to work out so I joined the same gym and he joined and I went on about 140 day missions just working up every day I was doing two-a-days I was doing UFC I was eating right I was just doing everything to get myself better because I felt like I was getting slow onstage I was feeling like I was losing the beat my grandson hurt my leg cuz he was walking and like he was finna fall and I tried to catch him and he didn't fall and I end up hurting my leg and he's looking at me like what are you doing I'm like okay I gotta hit the gym so when I hit the gym everything started working again like everything everything started working and I had a celebrity basketball game and I went off I was just all in the air and just I was like okay and then I got content I was like oh and I missed that first day I miss this and envy I don't know how many days me and Jim just don't agree right I got waste in my room every city I go today put some dumbbells in there some 30 pound dumbbells and I used to go in and be like Bob before I go do my interview so that work had it could I just be looking at them that I think I look good for my age I think I made it look like it's supposed to look at my age when I watch a lot of rappers that let it go other places like I've been able to maintain and to keep it all in order and it just to make sure that it's all you know all in line and then on the inside as well not just on the outside on the inside as well cuz a lot of lot of us look good on the outside on the inside ain't really good you want to make sure the inside is going to so even with the better eating that the better things that I put into myself as opposed to just being reckless would let me get that candy boy let me get them cookies let me get that now let me get them grapes let me get them cherries let me get them plums and peaches yesterday I mean give me some of that when you was young and you saw all this stuff around you did you think he was gonna make it to be the cool granddaddy no in our neighborhood 21 was a blessing we still always like you know pray to see 21 like that was like a major goal to get to be 21 because you could be grown you can move out your mama house then you stayed a lot hmm I want ask one more question about death because you have seen a lot of people around you pass away and you know nipsey always referred themselves as the two pocket of his generation you knew both of them so that accurate compares I think it's very accurate because the spirit that nipsey had was a spiritual pocket and as far as like being up close and personal with the people and and just trying to give back I think Nipsey did with Tupac couldn't do I think he was the extension like if you're running a 440 relay and you passed a baton I think the spirit of Tupac was nipsey like the seed that he planted I think he said something about I may not change the world but I was talking to see I'll plant the seed that protect somebody that quote right there is nipsey he's a sport because you don't rap like him but he moved like him the way he you know was lovable but he was gassed at the same the way he was about the kids it's a lot of footage and pictures of him with kids and community work in different neighborhoods and that's the same thing Tupac was about if you knew to park to Punky's to ride by yourself before death row he pull up on people that's why he got in a shootout cuz he would make himself available he would pull up and the fans liking me give him a pitcher autograph he go to the store by yourself and certain people would try him and they would find out he's not to be played with but that's what his spirit was and that's an FC spirit as well like people say well why doesn't it have a store in the hood need a navigate he felt comfortable man that was his neighborhood that's the spirit of what he was doing it for he cared about Crenshaw he loved Crenshaw that was his heart and soul he wanted to show them that you could do it in a place like this you don't have to go to Beverly Hills of Hollywood you don't move to a white neighborhood you can do it right here and actually own it now I also see you're gonna be on Angie Martinez this show the untold stories of hip-hop yeah so do you have a whole lot of untold stories that one day you feel like you might hold on cuz ja Rule with me today the show is dope but snoop stories Wow I might imagine what we want to give it up but yes my friend yo my friends do so I'm not gonna get in the middle of this mess untold stories at some point yeah yeah what a Snoop Dogg life story yeah I'll be yeah yeah yeah from Vietnam at death row definitely go tell that this was gonna be called mm-hmm why why from Vietnam to death row because my father was in Vietnam in 1968 and the life expectancy for a black male was sixteen point four seconds and he actually made it out of there he got shot three times he's a Purple Heart vet and I was born in 1971 so with that being said I wasn't opposed to get past Vietnam ah but I made it to death row Wow is that death row movie still happening after stay out of content that kept saying we doing a death row movie next I never had to do with that as far as a death row movie they couldn't do it without you though I would imagine I'm I'm worried about snoop dogg life story because there's too many versions that's been out there that's been like almost right close to it similar it's time for somebody to tell the story from the perspective of the eyes of the inside like even we should night side of it like they don't tell his story to write what he always just show the bad things that he do and that ain't cold it ain't fair you know i'm saying even though he was like a monster at a certain point but that's not fair that's not all what he was about right he was the one that sparked that Mother's Day thing and give him back to the community and you know us getting active in the community he showed us that we didn't know how to do that you had to have somebody teach you we just was rappers trying to be rappers he's like nah we got to go do some community active work we got to go get with Danny Blackwood from the Brotherhood crusade we got to go to things with these people and this and that y'all put a suit on y'all get get y'all look together you get what I'm saying so it's like don't nobody give him credit for the great things that he did it's just like that's why I want to tell my story because my story is gonna bring the good the bad and the ugly but it was more good in anything but you just don't hear about even when it comes to black entrepreneurship I ain't never seen no numbers like 300 million dollars the label gross tell no death row and he really grossed it and like I say what what the industry fails to realize if it wasn't for him half for you rappers wouldn't even had no label or have the control to show God right now because it was a pimp whole industry back before he came out and usually you beat a hoe they used a rapper it happened to some of the greatest rappers ever some of the biggest represent and he wasn't gonna be immune to it but when he came out he up shape a different look to what he had to look at [ __ ] a little bit differently we can't treat him like that he may be like Suge Knight he may be like we don't want to rub him wrong as he friends with Suge Knight and in a store giving up better deals and they start respecting the craft of we have to respect him we can't just do them like we did the black artists in the 50s and the 60s and the 70s and the 80s yeah I'm saying and that's best facts because the artists from back in the days and ones that I went and got on with if they was still alive and I put him on a song or did something with him they was very grateful and humble cuz they had never seen money like that and that's why when a rapper tries to sample a song from my old-school artists he gets charged so much because orders they never made that money it's the first time he can eat but if you go get a relationship would even if he's still alive with family you can work something out you can make him understand look you don't wait but you're not gonna stick me up we're gonna stick them up when you and sug spoke did he have him or for those times when you said he there was a period of time when things he did was like a monster did he show remorse for that did you guys have remorse for each other for how you treated each other I don't think we ever I don't think he ever said I'm sorry cuz that ain't in his nature but I know what he meant like our conversation let me know we could write be like I'll share this with you when we spoke in the room one-on-one for the first time that was kind of like a way to just speak in a hotel in Vegas so that was like and it was spontaneous it wasn't no plan [ __ ] it was just like he's seen me I've seen him I was acting what's up all right well we need to holler yeah we do need out I believe my security I didn't mean you can want a room and chop it up we need to figure this out so we already outside you with him inside yeah well because I wanted him to feel comfortable I want him to know that I'm not afraid of you I finicky eaters Manny Manny and you at you you at your strength right now you're not weak right now you're strong and I'm strong well let's go get some understanding away from clothes away from everybody in the clothes situation we're just meeting you we got understand and we exchanged numbers started communicating getting back in the groove then he got locked up still communicated warning through one of my friends we communicated and we wanted to just tape the conversation just because I'm going to tape it yes so people can hear when I do my thing what our vibe is away from all this drama soon as we get on the phone it's what he say Oh [ __ ] you working out now I tried to get you to work out years ago you a song you know I wouldn't listen to you cuz I mean listening nobody telling me how to work out looking at my look at listen my tone [ __ ] you think you buff now huh [ __ ] ain't buffing I'm just trying to live better now I was good I'm good from there we going you know his mother passed away so I'm like I'm sorry about your mommy like man that lady loves you I loved her too man your mama was a special woman man she loves you man she always so that to me is like saying that we passed it you don't have to tell me you saw it your mama loved me I loved your mama I'm telling you I'm sorry she gone you telling me how much she loved me this is a common ground of communication that brothers don't know how to get to you don't have to say I'm sorry we talking that we had a point that we could never get to and once we start communicating we're gonna have more fun conversation I mean when we was uh hanging out than you did dad you mean when pod did this and remember you told me to go get pop yeah cuz remember dawg you told me to go get him because I wasn't listening to him you took right see this is humbling for me to hear him say this I know it but I never was gonna be long I told him no you say what's what's understood don't need to be said between hello I always wanted to did you think him and Ray would ever come to an understanding to you like man why do you even care about forgiveness with this guy sure I know me this is who I am as a Snoop Dogg snoop Dogg he know from day one like I'm I'm for the people man I'm for that mess I'm trying to make love and make people happy like to me what I'm doing is gonna get them to the point that they can't talk mm-hmm because you got to be somebody got to take that first step to be like you ain't that bad come on cut it ain't that bad you know get that off your chest get that off your conscious you don't want to be walking around with no right you know will the none of that you want to feel good about everything you're doing because you don't know when you gonna leave you don't want to kick somebody when they were already down why you actually would when he was up he was strong mm-hmm I wouldn't kick him when he was up lord I kick him when he did the drape I look at his bank account be like [ __ ] I am fine without forgiveness right that's when you got to be you smoke in every city right no matter where you at no matter what town it is the continent the co show the studio I ain't smoking up here yeah yes so I can smoke wordnet look is she trying to stop me right now for that we don't want to get in trouble again tell snoop no if he decides he was the smoke I don't know we got in trouble just now and it was like different now y'all groom I'm not the little kid that you should come with me and being dumb [ __ ] breaking the rules cuz I can i don't do that PA don't do nothing for me you know don't tease me when you carry with you you just have people I can tell you that poor man but I got my license and it means that I can move anywhere in all the time because I'm medical you know I really [ __ ] with so misinformed we're gonna get to the other one is it's all about black excellence right what inspired that it made you put Slick Rick on uh I'm just tired of seeing my people clashing they're talking about each other and criticizing their critique and I just want to show love on a song that's just about us showing love the whole song you know working together and we don't hear it like that you know in the sixties and the seventies you always heard songs about working together and you know brothers becoming you know family and family reunion and doing things of that nature so I just want to make a song but give information on how we were misinformed and how they always say the Holocaust is the greatest atrocity it is on film but ours wasn't feeling learn we just now starting to get some footage on this imagine if they was filming us from the slavery days you give them send them America may have more compassion for our feelings than what we feel so these songs and steps the records that I do like this and I bring a slick break in it's a mentorship it's having wisdom guidance and understanding and giving you a song that feel good to you but it's a message in it it ain't like a song that word said I don't want to hear that it's like damn it feels so good what are you talking about they have any trying to get us right okay and I'm giving it up for the the black representatives in the house of parliament with the girls on yes and I wrote this before that I wrote this before Donald Trump start ripping on them and putting bands on like my mind was always like I see what's going on up in there let me get him grow some some love because that's important because I'm tired of seeing girls shaking their booties and showing a titties and feeling like they got it you know show they ass you can be something different use your mind like cover your body up let a man have some imagination and think and be like one of them women in the office up in it change some [ __ ] around this [ __ ] do that so this is a thought record to make you think while you listen but not to really take you out of the groove of listening to now that's saying a lot coming from you because you've missed the vegetation bowls and tricks yeah I still do that too now no booty [ __ ] I don't know I know who you was talking about but I was like what why did you want to write this let me tell you that there's a real story that's it that it is but the the terminology new booty is a new square in jail like somebody that's going to jail for the first time and they never been in that environment and it's a new experience for them so it's like you a new booty wasn't about me taking the booty but that is a part of the process if you come in there too hard too tough not knowing the circumstances there are men in there that are designed to do that then ain't coming home that they looking at you as they girlfriend oh boy it was more important than a drink of water emember those situations are for real so it's like you know don't get into that life if you're not prepared because I see a lot of people be making excuses [ __ ] that be snatching in well he didn't know him and they put him in on they're gonna know when you walk dead gangster walk you got to walk it all the way out all the way out don't come half steppin and start pointing fingers once you get in there with he did this nothing didn't know ride it out ride it all the way out that's what I respect about should he pointing no things he keeping it cheap he ain't trying to tell him to take nobody down would he taking all these take that you did that take that it don't like I can't respect you when you start telling I don't care what your legacy is when you tell this all the way it's over with especially if you portray yourself as that gangster that's the first rule again and again culture no snitching especially if you make it song sin snitching ain't cool didn't you turn around and start snitchin so that song is about somebody in particular it's about a lot of people in particular it's about entertainers it's about athletes it's about people who get successful enjoying a game like why would you become a 25 year old football player and you meet some gang members now you throwing up gang signs and y'all do some stupid and then you in jail for murder and you had a football career yeah Aaron Hernandez was the perfect example oh yeah like this thing was good at football I know he was in a gang before all that like no no no look at look at him and his making where he come from you know goddamn gangs out there like that became fascination you fascinated with what you're watching and then you see some guys that's doing that you do it you start doing it the most and you feel to realize a whole long you got a career man you gonna throw your career away for that and then the Amazonas you end up killing yourself come on man so you heard stories about dudes getting tossed up in jail like entertainers that all you heard listen to everything but at the end is a guy screaming at the end of the record saying what the home is gonna think about it can happen who didn't miss a sugar at booty wars they sure got dudes on deck that Ray J said that it was yeah I'm a man look here I've talked about the great things he did I don't know about that I told y'all but I'm not a Ray J was with therefore at a time when I left yeah I got your mom over here what does coach snoop think about the NFL and jay-z and rock nation well coach snoop don't know the intricacies of that he don't know the dynamics to that but what I would have loved to have seen was somebody really asking Roger Goodell a question of why did y'all blackballed Colin Kappa I did ask him that day I didn't hear it the Everton I didn't hear any audio at all that ain't good what was his answer he said we NOT blackballing Kaepernick any owner consign Kaepernick whenever they won't do that - I was looking for you [ __ ] blackballing period ain't no in-betweens today because he couldn't find a job and he was better than 80% of them quarterbacks in the NFL starters included so it's like his skills was that level but if the owners didn't already got together and be like me he bad for business they shut him down that's why they settled with him to me I wouldn't have settled learn other one all the way to the wheels fall off to whatever they had to give me a billion dollars then I would have settled but other than that it would have been about the money it had been about the cause and a stand for everything and instead of jay-z he should have been there like let me be the one someone want pushing the calls let me actually be in the room with y'all to put in my employers I'm gonna start at this awareness thing not to try to get credit but just to give you my input on something that I created I created the awareness didn't Steven a sniff say some teams reached out someone tried to sign him Eddie say he had a few offers from like to see how Ravens prove it prove it yeah and he said I know they did ask him to be on that council not the one the same counsel that JV has Malcolm Jenkins started a couple years ago to impact change and now they clashing you got you got certain NFL players s clashing but they don't like what's going on it because it's see what what people don't understand is coming from hip-hop we don't have no commissioner we don't have no rules and regulations and structure so we don't even know what they're going through there's a hip-hop you can do whatever you want to do period so now you bringing in somebody who's from hip-hop and the drug world into y'all structure it's gonna be a problem if he don't get control because if he don't get control everybody gonna start throwing rocks at jay-z ain't do nothing like they try to do it again and like while y'all going I hit me trying to help mm-hmm but if he do get control and NFL is over cuz it's gonna be some real black owners that's right because we getting smart now we're getting real smart now and them all white owners that got that slave mentality you know and their kids and their grandkids love this [ __ ] they don't feel like they feel they got a different perspective on interracial they love this they love the culture that's why it's gonna change for the benefit of the better the world we will have ownership of a14 I don't wanna hit that minority ownership won't hear that [ __ ] and I don't impress me no can a [ __ ] on a whole team cuz Floyd had the money Oprah had the money they tried to buy the Clippers they froze do who taught about the Clippers Floyd oh boy there's a bunch of my foot started by the Clippers won that one early when the owner went bad blacks got their money together like we want to buy this hello no you don't okay how much money y'all guys y'all not only nothing even like what you and he don't own that team only nothing he got that a clear was a black owner previously Bob Johnson that's what I do he owned it put it in me I don't like that majority-minority [ __ ] check yourself these clothes I got on these my father's mine you know minority-majority was what did that mean I judge no he definitely under yonder Bobcats him I knew was I don't know cuz I seen nearly would have rings that he was part owner I say still I gave me a goddamn ring and I've done but I was going to say why people choose his sides we should want jay-z's [ __ ] to work and we should support captain be on a team like I don't sell people to his eyes but that's the mentality of Willie Lynch he broke us mentally with that mentality well you have to pick and choose you can't be together mmm that's why we have to do things to break that mentality to be like you know what we embracing jay-z and we embracing the NFL now what cuz it was someone [ __ ] chasing me around all day yesterday little white dude with a little camera snoop what do you feel about jay-z and the NFL thing yeah I'm not answering he showed up somewhere else he just [ __ ] come again hey snoop going on meet you here with a football [ __ ] up my face a lot somebody hit you with that enough if that was THC you'd be highly appreciate you for joining us and sure the man got a hit man you got that black man no cheap man you got a small record but I'm saying you own it to you make it go you make it go I appreciate the shot me with his rap name was when he first started rapping what was your rap name when you first start the van winkle Rob Van Winkle is Vanilla Ice concept black men don't cheat it's cool no I love it I really embrace it I love it I love it I let it concept because it's like somebody had to put it out there you know I'm saying tell the truth stop lying on us exactly married man yes stop lying on earth though put it out there a little black boys cheap they do like man don't you there you go now when I was a boy it's the Breakfast Club good
