“In the black culture, certain kids are given nicknames that they roll with forever; the nicknames outweigh their real names. I’m one of those scenarios.”

An older guy, he’s going to show you things that a young man can’t show you. He’s going to show you how to stay alive. He’s going to show you how to turn corners where your young friends will show you how to turn right into that wall, you know what I’m saying?

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

Now people think it’s cool to have a baby, but it ain’t cool to take care of it. We have to change that. You make your life for that baby. That’s the future.

If they would have put positive opportunities in front of me to make $1000 a week, I would have done it. But they didn’t. They put $1000 in front of me and an illegal way to make it. And they expect me not to do it because they say it’s wrong.

If you’re trying to get somebody and this might be the only time you’re going to catch him, but he is holding his baby and with his mama, you ain’t gonna let that chance go by. That’s the mentality of the streets. If you let that chance go by, he might catch your ass.

Drop it like it’s hot.

Push yourself, when you get smart up top (in your head), your skills will fall right into place.

I move with the time. Whatever’s happening in time, I’m in.

It makes me feel the way I need to feel.

You don’t love me, you just love my doggystyle.

I’m not rapping, I’m conversing. It’s just a conversation between me and you.

You’ve got to always go back in time if you want to move forward.

A lot of brands, you can’t touch them. When you’re dealing with Snoop Dogg, he brings you closer to the brand and it feels like it’s a part of you.

There’s no such thing as losing touch. You can take me out of the ghetto, but you can’t take the ghetto out of me.

They say I’m greedy, but I still want more, cause my eyes want to journey.

That’s how we do it in the black community; we give back to the people who made us who we are. We never forget that.
