You got two black folk representing us through the Sixties. One of them was for violence, one was against it, and they both are dead.

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

I don't want anybody shooting, but I can't stop it.

I love Benny Hill. He one of my favourites of all time. Like, the way Benny did it, he was just amazing. Just seeing how he put songs together and comedy and the timing and the sketches. He was way ahead of his time.

My name was given to me. I didn't just decide to change it one day. But I ran with it to reflect a more peaceful and positive attitude for my new Reincarnated project. The Snoop Dogg name is so connected to hip-hop, and I didn't want to change that. Hip-hop raised me, and I would never turn my back on it.

You got to be who you are when you are.

You won't hear any more alcohol songs from Snoop Dogg - unless I stumble upon some Hennessy.
