Snoop Doggy Dogg: Snoop Dogg, the playa entertainer, slash, MC of the night. Nardwuar: Snoop, welcome to Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. Snoop Doggy Dogg: Eh, thank ya'll for having me. Nardwuar: And Snoop, who do you have beside ya? Snoop Doggy Dogg: Archbishop Don Magic Juan. Nardwuar: Welcome to Vancouver Archbishop. Archbishop Don Magic Juan: Oh, it's always a treat when playas meet. It's such an honour for Snoop Dogg to bring the crew over here to Canada, to be able to entertain and I see that the fans have come out. They love big Snoop Dogg over here, Jack. Chuuuch. Nardwuar: Snoop, the first time I talked to you, you took my Redd Foxx doll. Although, I was able to get it back. And you also took my Whispers record. Do you remember that Snoop? Snoop Doggy Dogg: [laughs] Yeah, you had a lot of good shit I wanted. You know what I'm sayin'. Nardwuar: And then the next time I talked to you, you took my Blowfly and my Richard Pryor record. Do you remember that at all Snoop? Snoop Doggy Dogg: Yeah, you got some more shit for me to take? [laughs] Nardwuar: Well, yes. That's what I thought I would do. Right off the bat I thought I would give you something and then you can't take anything. Right here is a little Canadian gift, a little Cheech And Chong record for you. [Nardwuar gives Snoop a Cheech and Chong Record] Snoop Doggy Dogg: I appreciate that. Nardwuar: Now Snoop, if you open that up. What do you see inside this Cheech And Chong record? Snoop Doggy Dogg: A big ol' zig-zag and a picture of Cheech And Chong. Nardwuar: Yes. Some Cheech And Chong rolling paper is inside this record. Snoop Doggy Dogg: Big! Big! Big! Big rolling papers. Nardwuar: And I guess what I was wondering is, Snoop, do you still need to use rolling paper? If you know what I mean, for the endo? Snoop Doggy Dogg: No, no I don't have to. Nardwuar: Now Snoop, you're here in Vancouver doing the, "Ho! Ho! Ho! Across Canada" Christmas tour, right? Snoop Doggy Dogg: Yeah, that's what I'm out here for. Nardwuar: And that's with your 17-piece band. That's amazing. The "Snoopadelics," Snoop Doggy Dogg. Snoop Doggy Dogg: [laughs] Yeah, you know, I just try to put on a good show everywhere I go. You know what I'm sayin'? Nardwuar: And Snoop, how do you do gangsta music with a band? Snoop Doggy Dogg: It just, it's good music. That's what it is. G music is good music. It's not a particular type of music, it's just an expression. It doesn't matter, the way you say it is how you say it, and it's just a good feeling when we doin' it. Nardwuar: Snoop Doggy Dogg, you are a gangster. I know you are a gangster because recently I got the gangster colouring book and there you are. [hands Gangsta Rap Colouring book to Snoop] The Gangsta Rap Colouring book, Snoop Doggy Dogg. Snoop Doggy Dogg: You crazy! Nardwuar: Yes the Gangster Rap Colouring book. You've been immortalized. Snoop Doggy Dogg: That's cool. I'm taking this. Nardwuar: Yes, that's for you Snoop Doggy Dogg! Snoop Doggy Dogg: I'm taking this. Hold that. [hands the coloring book to the Archbishop] Chuuuch. That's tight. Nardwuar: So Snoop, you're doing this tour across Canada. It's incredible. For instance, you're doing the big cities like Toronto and Vancouver. But you're also doing, like, five dates in Alberta. You are playing places that Canadian bands don't even play. That's amazing Snoop! Snoop Doggy Dogg: Yeah, that's what it's all about, going to places where people don't get to see you and feel you and touch you and give them a show sometimes too, you know. It's always about the big people, but sometimes you gotta remember the small people too. Nardwuar: You're going to be touring Canada in the dead of winter. There's going to be lots of snow. Do you like hockey, Snoop? Snoop Doggy Dogg: Umm, I don't really understand hockey. I like the physical side of it as far as the fighting. But as far as me knowing, I don't know the game yet. Nardwuar: You do love football don't you? Like, you coach your son's football team, right? Snoop Doggy Dogg: Uh-huh. I'm a coach. Nardwuar: Do you think, Snoop Doggy Dogg, you'll ever make a record perhaps like this, "The Superbowl Shuffle?" [Hands Snoop the "Superbowl Shuffle Records"] Snoop Doggy Dogg: [laughs] The Chicago Bears, that's cool, Jack. .. . [to the Archbishop] '85 wasn't it? Nardwuar: Yup, with Refrigerator Perry, William "The Refrigerator" Perry. Snoop Doggy Dogg: [looking at record] And Walter Payton was wearing Kangaroo shoes. Nardwuar: So do you think Snoop, that you ever will make a record like "The Superbowl Shuffle" with your kids and your team? Snoop Doggy Dogg: You never know. If we keep winning I might have to. Nardwuar: What do you think about the Refrigerator, William Perry? He did celebrity boxing with Manute Bol and he lost to Manute Bol. Snoop Doggy Dogg: He got his ass beat when Manute Bol put that reach on him. Nardwuar: Yeah [laughs], he's got one hell of a reach Snoop Doggy Dogg. And, um, actually I was just wondering about that. Manute Bol is a person that was associated with the rock 'n' roll rapper known as William Perry. And also, William Perry worked with The Fat Boys. Do you have any good stories about The Fat Boys? Do you think that The Fat Boys were the best beat boxers ever, Snoop Doggy Dogg? Snoop Doggy Dogg: Yeah, I think they are the best beat box band. You know, Doug E. Fresh was true indeed. An original and fly for what he did but The Fat Boys had there own style in doing it. Nardwuar: They were a great influence on people, Snoop Doggy Dogg, and you've been a great influence. Archbishop Don Magic Juan, Snoop has been an amazing influence on people in Vancouver. And check this out Snoop, look what this is [hands Snoop a poster], somebody has a dog poo removal service called "Scoop Doggy Dogg." Snoop Doggy Dogg: Oh, that's fly! Nardwuar: 'We're number one in number two!' Snoop Doggy Dogg: Preach. Nardwuar: And this is from Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, "Scoop Doggy Dogg." Snoop Doggy Dogg: Thank y'all people, I love y'all for that, appreciate it. Keep picking up shit, all day! Nardwuar: Snoop Doggy Dogg, lately you've been partying at the "Holiday Inn." Snoop Doggy Dogg: Yeah, me and my peoples. Nardwuar: I was wondering about the "Holidae In." The song "Holidae In," do you take any of your lyrics at all from Ronnie Hudson and the "West Coast Pop Lock." [hands Snoop a Ronnie Hudson record ] What is the importance of Ronnie Hudson? Does he relate at all to the "Holidae In"? Snoop Doggy Dogg: [singing] "Pop-lockin' My Rolls-Royce , Cadillac, Lincoln and Mercedes Benz. Pop-lockin' at the Howard Johnson, Sheraton. Pop-lockin' at the Holiday Inn." That's the one you're talkin' about? Nardwuar: Yes. Does that relate to "Holidae In," the song you did with Chingy? Snoop Doggy Dogg: Yeah, it's the same hotel. It's a fun spot, and it ain't too much to get up in there. But you can have a lot of fun when you do. I need to get that record by you too. That's gangsta right there. Nardwuar: Actually, that one you can't take from me, unfortunately --- Snoop Doggy Dogg: I just did! Nardwuar: No, no Snoop. That one you can't take from me. Snoop Doggy Dogg: [singing] "So tough. So tough. Out here baby." Nardwuar: No, you can't take that one Snoop! But Snoop Doggy Dogg, I was wondering, when I did talk to you the last time - when you took my Blowfly and Richard Pryor records, you're not taking that "Pop Lock" one - you were doing The Muppets. What happened? You were cut out of The Muppets? Snoop Doggy Dogg: I don't know. You gotta go get an interview with them and ask them what's happening because I did my part and I thought it was going to come on, so I don't know what happened. Nardwuar: I was really looking forward to that and you were cut out. And then I was thinking, I was doing research for that interview a while back, and I was thinking: Roosevelt Franklin, he was the original black muppet wasn't he? Snoop Doggy Dogg: Yeah, he was. Nardwuar: But then I did some more research Snoop. and I saw this particular black muppet, this O.G. guy. [hands Snoop a doll] What do you think about this guy right here? Snoop Doggy Dogg: [looking at doll] Who is this nigga right here? Nardwuar: This is the original black muppet. What do you think? Snoop Doggy Dogg: This ain't no muthafuckin' original black muppet, with little tight-ass slacks on, corduroy coat on. Yeah, that's Sambo. Sambo or some motherfuckin' thing. [Smiles] Look how they did him. That's cool, I'm keeping it though so we can erase this from history. Archbishop Don Magic Juan: Preach! Nardwuar: Snoop, you cannot take that or the "Pop Lock" record. Those are just to show you. Snoop Doggy Dogg, you were in town awhile back working on The L Word. The L Word, a show about lesbians! Snoop Doggy Dogg: Mmm-hmm. Nardwuar: Now, what was that like? Cuz I heard that's your dream. Halle Berry and J.Lo and Snoop Doggy Dogg all together. Snoop Doggy Dogg: Yeah, we love the same things, you know. Lesbians and me have something in common. Nardwuar: What were you playing on that show? And that was something to do with Pam Grier wasn't it? The L Word. Snoop Doggy Dogg: Yeah. I was, um, a record producer who wanted to use one of her songs. Pam Grier, her character, was an old school artist who has a singing career that's sorta, kinda like disappeared, and I sampled one of her songs and brought her back to life. Nardwuar: On the set of The L Word I heard your trailer was completely filled with cereal. Do you love cereal? Was your trailer filled with cereal, Snoop Doggy Dogg? Snoop Doggy Dogg: No-no. I don't know where that came from. Nardwuar: You don't like cereal? What is your favourite cereal? Snoop Doggy Dogg: I like Captain Crunch. (Laughs) Nardwuar: And you are Snoop Doggy Dogg in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. And Snoop, you're also working on Starsky And Hutch. Snoop Doggy Dogg: Yeah, it's done. [long pause] You're funnier than a motherfucker. Lookin' at you make a motherfucker straight laugh. [laughs] Archbishop Don Magic Juan: [Laughs] Chuuuch! Nardwuar: You are Snoop Doggy Dogg and you work with Fred Williamson. Snoop Doggy Dogg: [laughs] Yeah, "The Hammer". I worked with "The Hammer." Nardwuar: "The Hammer!" And Fred "The Hammer" Williamson posed for Playgirl years ago, so the question arises, would Snoop Doggy Dogg ever pose for Playgirl? Snoop Doggy Dogg: It depends on how much money they got. Nardwuar: You are Snoop Doggy Dogg. Now Snoop Doggy Dogg, would you ever wear a dress, like say, Flip Wilson. [hands Snoop a Flip Wilson record] Snoop Doggy Dogg: Never. No. Never, never, never, never, never, never. Nardwuar: You'd never wear a dress? Snoop Doggy Dogg: Never. No. Never, never, no never, never, never, never. Archbishop Don Magic Juan: Preach! Nardwuar: Now what about Flip Wilson and why won't you wear a dress? Snoop Doggy Dogg: Flip Wilson was a comedian and he played characters like that. I don't get out like that. He was Geraldine. Wasn't that the character he played? He was sharp, you know what I am saying? That's him. I can't do that. Nardwuar: You couldn't see Snoop in that dress then. And Snoop Doggy Dogg, your influence goes pretty far and I wanted to ask you, right here, about a little interview I did a while back with Vanilla Ice. Do you remember Vanilla Ice? Snoop Doggy Dogg: Yeah, I remember. Nardwuar: Vanilla Ice, Snoop Doggy Dogg. He claims that he paved the way for Snoop Dogg and Death Row Records, believe it or not. That's what he said. Snoop Dogg wouldn't be here if it wasn't for Death Row Records and Vanilla Ice. And we're gonna play it right here [Nardwuar takes out his handy-cam with the Vanilla Ice interview all queued up on it] Snoop Doggy Dogg, check what Vanilla Ice has to say to you. [Nardwuar plays Snoop a video clip of Vanilla Ice's interview] Nardwuar: Vanilla Ice, did you pave the way for Snoop Doggy Dogg and Death Row Records? If it wasn't for Vanilla Ice, would there be Snoop Doggy Dogg or Death Row Records? Vanilla Ice: Man c'mon, you're stretching it, dude. No, no, no I mean--- Nardwuar: You did pave the way though, didn't you? Indirectly, there would be no Snoopy Doggy Dogg if there wasn't Vanilla Ice, right? Vanilla Ice: Well y'know you said the word indirectly. Everybody knows about the Suge Knight incident and yes in a way I contributed to the Chronic record, Snoop Dogg and Tupac. I funded, basically, initially, the beginning of that whole Death Row project, indirectly. [laughs] But I--- Nardwuar: Willingly? Vanilla Ice: Well no, not willingly but y'know what? It was all good because I look at it in a positive way. I got way more money than I ever expected today and basically I look at it like it was an investment in some of the best hip-hop ever to live and ever come out. So I'm happy for it y'know? I'm happy for it. Nardwuar: What do you think about that Snoop? Snoop Doggy Dogg: If that's the way he feel, he telling the truth. You know, you gotta speak what's from your heart, your mind. Nardwuar: Check this out, this is Vanilla Ice talking about "Who is Mini-Me?" [Nardwuar plays another clip from his Vanilla Ice Interview] Nardwuar: Vanilla Ice, who is Mini-Me? Vanilla Ice: Mini-me? Nardwuar: Who is Mini-Me, Vanilla Ice? Vanilla Ice: Let's see, "m" and "m." M-M, Mini-Me. Nardwuar: Eminem. Vanilla Ice: Well, yo. Y'know what it is? I... it's like this [raps] It's been a long time since ya seen me on the TV. V-Ice is here for she-zee, takin' what's mine 'cause it's my time to hit y'all with a new style of rhyme. Yeah, this iship rock. It can't be stopped. I bomb the system, straight to the top. Millions of dollars, I been spendin' em. I love rap, I paved the way for Eminem. Needless to say, I rap back today, y'all forgot about me, like y'all forgot about Dre. But I'm still here, with no fear, I say what I want and I make sure it's clear. Nardwuar: Yeah! Vanilla Ice. Take that Eminem! Vanilla Ice: [laughs] Nardwuar: What do you think about that Snoop Doggy Dogg? Snoop Doggy Dogg: [Stoned laughter] You're Stupid. You're stupider than a motherfucker. Nardwuar: No words for Vanilla Ice? He's just a stupid motherfucker? Snoop Doggy Dogg: No, no, I didn't say he's stupid. I said you're stupider than a motherfucker. Nardwuar: Thank you Snoop Doggy Dogg. I appreciate that. And winding up here, Snoop Doggy Dogg. You have done everything haven't you? You've pretty much done everything. Snoop Doggy Dogg: Everything except, your mother. Nardwuar: Well, actually there is one thing you have not done Snoop Doggy Dogg. You have not done a ventriloquist record yet. Have you ever thought about doing a ventriloquist record, Snoop Doggy Dogg? [hands Snoop "The Race Track" record by Richard and Willie] Snoop Doggy Dogg: See, I like that. That's kinda horror right there. I might have to. Richard And Willie, I remember them. We used to have these records back at the house. I might have to do that. That would be some fly shit. That some smart shit that your funny lookin' ass done said. Nardwuar: That's a ventriloquist record. I thought that you'd maybe do that on your show. That would be pretty cool. Snoop Doggy Dogg: I like that. That's sharp. I might have to. But I'm gonna let you be the one to put your hand up cuz's (the dummies) ass while I do all the talking. Nardwuar: Ba-boom!! Snoop Doggy Dogg: [Laughs] Nardwuar: Snoop Doggy Dogg I want to ask you about crafty people. Could you tell me the story behind this record here? Chronic 2000. [Shows Snoop the record] Now Suge Knight put this out before Dr. Dre could call his record The Chronic. Is that how crafty Suge Knight is? And there's a guy on here called Swoop. That's kinda weird isn't it? Snoop Doggy Dogg: Mmmm. That shit is wack. Basically it's like, how would you say it, you know, bullshit and real shit. You put the bullshit out first to pavethe way for the real shit. You know, he tried to beat us to the punch with this, but how many copies did he sell? About 15,000? He probably bought all of them. There's some shit I don't want. Nardwuar: And you are Snoop Doggy Dogg. And winding up here Snoop Doggy Dogg in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. Did you know that Jimmie Walker was the official comedian for the Black Panthers? Snoop Doggy Dogg: No, I didn't know that. That's news to my ears. And why would you say that? Nardwuar: He was the official comedian of the Black Panthers. He really was, going way back when... Snoop Doggy Dogg: He was Chuuuch? Archbishop Don Magic Juan: First I heard of that. I've been knowin' Jimmie since early in his career and I know a few of the party members, y'know, Mark Clark from outta Chicago. But this is the first I heard of that. Nardwuar: It's on his website. Archbishop Don Magic Juan: It's a strong possibility. Sammy Davis Jr. worked with them also, so it's a strong possibility. Nardwuar: I did an interview with him and he did admit it. Archbishop Don Magic Juan: That's a beautiful thing. [Note: "Nardwuar vs. Jimmie Walker: August 14 2001: I was the official comedian for the Black Panthers for about two years, the official comedian for the Black Panthers in the east, ladies and gentlemen! And I used to always think, because they would always brought guns to these cultural meetings, if the guy didn't like me, who was standing by watching the door, well he could just pick up his gun and go, "Pow! Done!"[laughs]] Nardwuar: And winding up here Snoop Doggy Dogg, I wanted to ask you about these guys, the Lifers Group. [hands Snoop the Lifers Group record ] These guys recorded in jail. Have you ever thought about doing a project like that? Y'know, like getting some guys in jail to record? This the Lifers Group, a sort of East Coast-type thing. Snoop Doggy Dogg: Yeah, that's cool. That's cool. I wouldn't do that. I would do something totally different though. But that's fly though. I've seen it. I've heard it. It was dope. Nardwuar: Well, thanks very much Snoop Doggy Dogg and Archbishop Don... Archbishop Don Magic Juan: Magic Juan, chairman of the board of famous playas everywhere. Chuuuch. Nardwuar: I appreciate your time and I want to leave you Snoop Doggy Dogg with a little joke that I have. Snoop Doggy Dogg, thanks for speaking to me, Nardwuar The Human Serviette. How does Snoop Doggy Dogg keep his whitest clothes the whitest? Snoop Doggy Dogg: Mmmm. Stay 15 feet away from the suckas, at all times. Nardwuar: No. He uses lots of blee-ATTCH! Snoop Doggy Dogg: [laughter] Archbishop Don Magic Juan: They learnin' over here. Yeah, they learnin'. Snoop Doggy Dogg: That's cool. Nardwuar: How was that? How was that? Snoop Doggy Dogg: I got a joke for you. Nardwuar: Go ahead Snoop Doggy Dogg. Snoop Doggy Dogg: Let's say for instance you....[laughs]...I have this... it's not a joke. This guy he used to work out here at MuchMusic, his name is Malone Brown, you ever heard of him? Nardwuar: No I have not. Snoop Doggy Dogg: Malone Brown. Nardwuar: No I have not. Snoop Doggy Dogg: Malone Brown dick in your mouth. Nardwuar: Ba-boom!! Snoop Doggy Dogg in da house! Snoop Doggy Dogg: [laughs] Archbishop Don Magic Juan: Now that's gangsta. Snoop Doggy Dogg: Thank you. Nardwuar: Thanks very much Snoop. Keep on rockin' in the free world and doot doola doot doot... Snoop Doggy Dogg: Doot doo. ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 4 Jan 2004 11:35:11 -0800 (PST) From: Mike Swedene Subject: Poor Brit I smell MONEY. Where are the lawyers?
