“I wanted to become a better Snoop Dogg, full of water, proteins and stuff to keep me alive. Lollipops and Big Macs.”

Well, hip-hop is what makes the world go around.

It’s Christmas time and my rhyme’s steady bumpin. Everybody happy, hair still nappy, Gonna steal a gift for my old grandpappy.

If the ride is more fly, then you must buy.

The most important decision I’ve made in business? The choices of people I have around me. When I first started I brought everybody with me, my homies from the neighborhood, criminals. I just said, ‘Come on everybody, we made it.’ Then I had to realize we didn’t make it. I made it.

The best advice I’ve ever got is to be yourself. Stay true to who you are and what you stand for and you’ll go far in life.

I have always said I was Bob Marley reincarnated.

Your only gain is to try to get me to fall down to your level. Man, you worser than devils.

It’s so easy for a kid to join a gang, to do drugs. We should make it that easy to be involved in football and academics.

Be your own leader, be your own self, step out of my shadows and be your own person.

What I try to push and promote is peace through the whole music industry.

Know when to lie to your kids.

I just change with the times. I really don’t have a say in what’s going on. Music was here before me.

When I’m not longer rapping, I want to open up an ice cream parlor and call myself Scoop Dogg.

Do what your heart tells you is right.

I’ve always been a student, so I want to learn.

Cut throats, gun smoke, dope, and hoes, is what controls niggas souls.

I often think that the night is more alive and more richly colored than the day.

I would like to make a film to tell children “it’s good to be alive”.

The world is more alive at night; it’s like God isn’t looking.

I will not say that your mulberry trees are dead; but I am afraid they’re not alive.

Let the dead bury the dead, but while I’m alive, I must live and be happy.

If I didn’t define myself for myself, I would be crunched into other people’s fantasies for me and eaten alive.

I am the wisest man alive, for I know one thing, and that is that I know nothing.

Women make the world beautiful, they protect it and keep it alive.
