Roots Picnic 2014: Snoop Dogg onstage with The Roots (photographed by Mel D. Cole)
These days, Snoop Dogg is known far less for his slinky hallmark bars and much more for being the weed mascot for hip hop and pop culture at large. Seriously, the man went and started his own social network and media house for stoners earlier this year, which shouldn't necessarily overshadow the very funky, but also very underwhelming Bush LP he put together with Pharrell, but it should be noted that your boy's weed industry exploits are definitely getting the bulk of the shine in 2015. And that's fine and all, but it's kind of a shame that we haven't heard the Doggfather really stretch out on a cut in so long.
Snoop has felt that drought, and answered the call today with a little hometown anthem. "I'm From Long Beach" finds the rapper-turned-weed-mogul finally put in a fresh 16 for the old heads to rock to. Put the top back, spark the L and unwind with the legend Snoop Dogg down below. And if it's good your earhole, take it home with you by copping on iTunes today. Those looking to step into the foggy mind of Snoop, should refer to his journalistic endeavors on GGN and let the hilarity ensue.
