It's heartwarming.

So true. Jay-Z listens to everything. A lot of rappers DO study their craft and music. You'd never know......but yeah. This was a good watch. I remember the episode when Rza was on and Snoop was talking about how he and his boys were listening to Wu even during that whole East Coast/West Coast divide.

Would like to. Link?

It's where underground rappers have fans who literally hate ANYTHING commercial...but a lot of them actually love commercial artists. I remember Talib and his wife telling me that he was a for real Gucci Mane fan, which is why they worked together.

Cats like Lil Jon, Tyga and Lil Wayne have taste that goes way beyond what most fans would think, as well.

are backpackers (either closeted or all-the-way out)

esp. ones of a certain age like Snoop. The dude covered a hip-hop classic on his first solo album. all those dudes came up on was "classic hip hop", lol

literally had a backpack on lol.

but I remember years back reading an interview with some backpack rapper. And he told a story about how he doesn't understand fans' interpretation of his music and opinions on popular music, as one fan had recently stepped to him and was like "yo I love your music....and I hate JayZ too!" and this rapper was basically like "what the hell are you talking about I love JayZ....."

He said some kid at a show tried to bond with him on some underground shit and said "yeah man, fuck Jay-Z."
Thought said "What's wrong with Jay-Z? He's a cool guy"

This just goes back to fans who like to segregate the different types of hip hop and sit up in their bedroom thinking that their favorite rapper feels the same.

And it happens on both levels, commercial and underground.

I find it hard for anyone to spend their life working on music and not have delved outside of their immediate peer group.

i gotta start watching more GGN. i always forget how entertaining Snoop is.

I've seen like 5-6 episodes. Snoop is so interesting and funny.

says he ran into andre 3000. pete had on a MF Doom shirt with just the mask and Andre says "I like your shirt" and as he walked away he says "peachfuzz"....


Basically code for

"yeah I know my underground hip hop"


I hope run the jewels is fuel for another Watch the Throne Album

Would you believe that?

considering his age, and his pre-"trap rap" history
but that's just me

I lived in the South in the '90s
and cats were HEEEEEEEEEEEEEAVY on the "real hip-hop"
heavy.

I almost wondered if it was just my time/area. One of my dudes (he posts here) was on the same shit. The one rap record that came from our area in that time was kind of like some 99th generation East Coast rap.

But that was before Mos was the go-to guy to name to prove you were diverse, so I'd tend to believe him.

Really? Did he mention it in an interview somewhere?

He said that he wanted 1o1 to feel like Atlanta the same way The Sun Rises in the East feels like Brooklyn

>He said that he wanted 1o1 to feel like Atlanta the same way
>The Sun Rises in the East feels like Brooklyn


I'm surprised Jeezy even heard about Jeru.

Talk to him about Hip Hop long enough and it'll come out, from what I gather.

God that album is so good dude. Every song is just pure, unfiltered sewer water.

watching some MTV special on Snoop's top 25-50 videos of all time. The majority of Snoop's favorite videos were from BDP/KrsOne, Doug E Fresh, Slick Rick, Big Daddy Kane, Rakim, etc. I mean, the Slick Rick influence should be extremely obvious.

Also, its seems like a 'only on okayplayer' type of deal that Gangstarr is considered backpack rap.

His scratch-hooks are never accidentally dope. He remembers absolutely everything.

Great storyteller too. This was dope.

despite the fact I don't want to watch this podcast because I'm not a stoner and from some clips of other Snoop podcast vids, they have a stoner vibe to them. I'll dedicate sometime this weekend and check this out.

Like if you are 35+ and have been listening to hip-hop almost all your life, then your knowledge would be deep right?


Like I don't consider myself as deep in hip-hop like some lesson heads but I know all the stuff Snoop is referencing.

I remember when Snoop was on the end of the Lyricist Lounge and Snoop was blacking out off the top.

oh wait, I forgot Too Short isn't 'hard core hip-hop head' music and Snoop fucking Dogg one of the longest tenured and iconic MC's in the history of the genre couldn't know what Come Clean sounds like.

...i kinda like snoop too, but those covers are hard on the ears

needs that horn loop from the video.

And truth be told I can't stand the OG Cinderfella at this point anyway.

*ducks*

Love primo...but Snoop bodied him here.....


word Snoop is deep on the music shyt....

#Texans

Snoop is better versed in not just hip-hop but soul, funk, rock, jazz, r&b, etc than your favorite rapper.

I loved the part where Snoop talks about wanting to train with KRS.

you ever heard him talk about soul music? He can name you artists, where they're from, obscure songs of theirs...etc. he's a true fan of music...hiphop especially. This shouldn't be a surprise to anyone.

about other artists, especially when it comes to those that don't play the game. Funny thing is that it usually isn't the case
