More From Snoop Dogg

I'm Here To Impress Only One Man. He Don't Live Here With Us. He's On Top. So That's All I'm Concerned About. My Work Is Not For The Public Or For Man To View Or Make Judgment On Me, I Work For One Person.

My Name Was Given To Me. I Didn't Just Decide To Change It One Day. But I Ran With It To Reflect A More Peaceful And Positive Attitude For My New Reincarnated Project. The Snoop Dogg Name Is So Connected To Hip-hop, And I Didn't Want To Change That. Hip-hop Raised Me, And I Would Never Turn My Back On It.

I Learned How To Take Other People's Mechanisms Of Promoting Their Stuff Through Me As Opposed To Promoting My Own Stuff, As Far As Getting Snoop Devilles, Snoopdegrills, Snoop Doggy Dogg Biscuits, Snoop Dogg Record Label, Snoop Dogg Bubble Gum, Snoop Youth Football League.

I'm Not Complicated At All. I Say Raps That Your Two-year-old Son Can Learn.

You Might Not Have A Car Or A Big Gold Chain, Stay True To Yourself And Things Will Change

Be Your Own Leader, Be Your Own Self, Step Out Of My Shadows And Be Your Own Person.

I'm So Sick And Tired Of All This Violence, This Gun Violence. And How Could I Speak On It - You Know - Being One Who Has Advocated Violence And Gun Violence? The Only Way I Could Do It Was Through A Song That Spoke From The Heart.

U Don't Know Where U Goin Unless U Know Where U Come From.

I Like Going To Areas Where The Murder Rate Is High And Dropping It.

Your Only Gain Is To Try To Get Me To Fall Down To Your Level. Man, You Worser Than Devils.

Drugs Are So Easy To Get In The Ghetto. They Might Not Be Easy To Get In Nice Areas Like Beverly Hills, But In Long Beach And Compton And South Central They're Easy To Get. They Don't Drop Those Drugs Off In Beverly Hills. They Drop Them Off In The Ghetto. Then They Tell Us It's Wrong To Sell Them. Well, We Didn't Bring Them Here. We Just Sell Them. I Was Selling, Like I Sold Newspapers.

I Went Out And Got Little Jobs. I Was Selling Candy As A Teenager, Selling Newspapers. But As I Got Older, I Didn't Want To Sell That Anymore. I Wanted To Make More Money.

The Process For Doing Voice Work Goes By Much Quicker As Opposed To Shooting A Feature. You Can Pretty Much Go In And Knock It Out In A Day Or Two. It Feels Very Natural For Me To Express Myself Using Only My Voice, So It Wasn't Too Difficult.

I'm A Business First And Foremost So Whatever My Business Is, It's Separate From My Personal. It's Like Whatever I Do Business Wise, It's Done In The Business Fashion Whether It's Promoting , Marketing, Whatever I'm Doing.

You're Turned In To The Biggest Balls Of Them All, Dj Suk T Nutts.

The 'american Idol' And 'x Factor' Shows, They're Great Shows. But I Think I Need To Make A Show Like That, Directed Straight To The Hood, To The Artists That Don't Get The Attention, That Don't Have The Money To Make Themselves Representable.

Know When To Lie To Your Kids.

Anytime You're With Somebody, You Become A Reflection Of That Person. I Believe The First Five Years Of Our Relationship Was Me Grooming Her, Getting Her Tough And Getting Her Ready For All Of This And How To Deal With It. The Last Was Just Her Being A Strong Black Woman Who Has Her Man's Back.

I Think It's Too Late For Prayin, Hold Up, A Voice Spoke To Me And It Slowly Started Sayin' 'bring Your Lifestyle To Me I'll Make It Better. I'll Make Your Life Better Than You Can Imagine Or Even Dreamed Of.' I See Demons. So Relax Your Soul Let Me Take Control. You Go Down With The Devil. Now Roam Through The Depths Of Hell, Where The Rest Your Homeboys Dwell.

Niggers Are Killing Niggers, And Penitentiaries Are Full Of Niggers And Mexicans. Why Don't Y'all Give Us Some Money To Help Us Stop This Problem? We Want To Go To College Instead Of Going To The Pen. Give Us A Future.

I'm Bringing It To Them In A Musical Way, Through A Way Of Partying Rather Than Violence. Now They Can Party Their Way Through Their Problems.

I Love Benny Hill. He One Of My Favourites Of All Time. Like, The Way Benny Did It, He Was Just Amazing. Just Seeing How He Put Songs Together And Comedy And The Timing And The Sketches. He Was Way Ahead Of His Time.

I'm Uncle Snoop. That's The Name I've Been Given In The Industry Because I'm Like An Uncle To All Of The Rappers Whether They Are Older Than Me Or Younger Than Me And I Love Giving Advice.

I Try To Get All Of The Rappers On One Page Of Peace, Love And Just Having Soul And Just Being About Representing This Music.

It's An Unexplainable Feeling, An Expression. It's A Touch, It's A Feel. Once You Feel It, It's Like No Other Thing In The World.

It's Natural. I Freestyle, Meaning That I Just Rap. I Might Put Words On Paper, But I Just Put A Beat On My Rap, And Go Off The Top Of My Head. It's Something I've Been Able To Do For A Long Time.

I'm A Musician - I'm Always Making Music. Kobe Bryant Is Always Playing Ball. Well, Snoop Dogg Is Always Recording.

To Me, The Seventies Were Very Inspirational And Very Influential... With My Whole Persona As Snoop Dogg, As A Person, As A Rapper. I Just Love The Seventies Style, The Way All The Players Dressed Nice, You Know, Kept Their Hair Looking Good, Drove Sharp Cars And They Talked Real Slick.

The More Medicated, The More Dedicated.

When I Was A Small Boy, If We Had A Problem, We Would Fight About It With Our Fists. We Wouldn't Shoot Somebody, Killing Them Or Wounding Them. That's Not Hard To Do. I Would Like People To Put Down The Guns. If You Have A Problem, Talk About It Or Fight About It.

I Don't Want Anybody Shooting, But I Can't Stop It.

My Younger Son, Cordell, Aka Lil Snoop, Loves Me Like A Fan Loves Snoop Dogg. He's Inspired By Making Me Happy. My Older Son, Corde, Aka Spank, Does Everything I Say, With Effort And Determination - But He Does It For Himself. He Gets His Thrill Out Of Seeing His Own Results On The Football Field.

What People Don't Understand Is Joining A Gang Ain't Bad, It's Cool, It's Fine. When You In The Hood, Joining A Gang It's Cool Because All Your Friends Are In The Gang, All Your Family's In The Gang. We're Not Just Killing People Every Night, We're Just Hanging Out, Having A Good Time.

I Was Like The Class Clown In School So I Guess I Would Say I Did Like The Attention. In Church I Did A Lot Of Plays, My Mother Made Me Play Characters, Do A Lot Of Drama And Acting, Trying To Become Someone Else. So It Helped Me Create Who I Am, To Create Snoop Dogg.
