Ben: ”GGNews Network: Snoop interviews George Clinton”

This was not the most intellectually stimulating choice, but it’s 12:30 am on Monday Morning and I’m a procrastinating piece of shit. We’re switching Mac to Black and bringing you the host with the most, it’s the family favorite Snoop Doggy Dogg.

Among his many talents, Snoop also excels as an interviewer. He’s genuinely curious and effortlessly insightful. As Snoop would say, If you don’t know, you wont know, but he’s got a hilarious YouTube show that’s resembles a local, CCTV, talk show with a fake background of Los Angeles on the green screen behind him. Snoop gets famous artists and pop-culture icons spanning multiple generations and genres because everybody loves Snoop.

In this episode, you get to hear a really cool behind the scenes story of how George Clinton, a big influence on Snoop and G-Funk, made his hit Atomic Dog when he was as high as Mt. Everest. He walked into the studio with no intention of making music, but people thought he wanted to get on the mic so he found himself walking into the booth and all eyes were on him. He didn’t know what to do so he just started chanting, “Bow-wow-wow Yippee-yo Yippee-yay.” Next thing he knew, they added some harmony, some drums, some keyboard and the song was born. Years later, Calvin Broadus named his alter ego after the song and Dre used this sample in his breakout hit, “Who Am I (What’s My Name?).”

Other interviews include Seth Rogen where he shows Snoop how to roll the infamous cross-joint from Pineapple Express, trading places with Larry D-O-Double King, dropping knowledge and stories with Jamie Foxx, Will I Am, Pharrell, and separates the contenders from the pretenders by getting a bunch of other famous people so high that they either act like complete bosses or baffoons.

This show is also where I first heard Anderson .Paak. He had just dropped Malibu a week earlier and when Snoop cut to the weather girl twerking I had to shazam the song. It was “Come Down” and I fell in music-love.
