A humorous yet intriguing question reached the acclaimed Long Beach lyricist, Snoop Dogg, for his upcoming television appearance with Martha Stewart. The question invoked Snoop’s response to critics claiming to a supposed deficit of his gangsta-rap reputation.
Snoop, after comically clarifying his present position as “uncle to the hip-hop game”, responded that “maintaining a certain reputation isn’t a concern of his”.
“I ain’t nineteen no more,” Snoop continued, “You’re dealing with a grandfather, the uncle to the hip-hop game, made a full 360 from where he was to who he is—and that’s what we love about him. He’s a great example of what you can be”.
All joking aside, however, Snoop revealed one matter spectacled by his concern. Hip-hop’s uncle hinted that he and a certain Dr. Dre, have been “cooking something up”.
In a chat with Rolling Stone, Snoop did in fact reveal that an album with Dr. Dre was highly-plausible—however, a tour would prove a more enticing option. Uncle later added his “dream team” for such a tour:
“A Snoop-Dre album would be amazing, but a tour even more, because we have legendary music the world has yet to see us perform globally. I’m pretty sure he wants to do it. He just wants the team in place. Kendrick Lamar, Eminem, Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre—that’s the dream team for him”.
Snoop also revealed that earlier this year, he had told DJ Whoo Kid that the “Dream Team Tour” proposition “had been tossed around as they were trying to come to an agreeable budget for all the legends involved”.
It is very likely that Snoop’s proposition resonates with the thousands upon thousands of followers who share Uncle’s enthusiasm on the “Dream Team” coming to fruition. And although Snoop addressed the notion with a sometime-maybe connotation, the idea remains framed upon a billboard that fans and artists alike marvel at the thought of it.
