TheMeaningOfDope

I definitely lost my mind when I first saw this on Arsenio and caught it just in time to press record.  This is at the height of Snoop’s promo for the Doggystyle album and he was on top of the world.  Look at the swagger.  Gone is the nervous, skinny dude from the Deep Cover and Nuthin’ But a G Thing videos, and in his place is the slow-flowing dude known as Snoop Doggy Dogg.

The first thing that absolutely blew my wig back was that he is rocking a Toronto Maple Leafs jersey.  This is of course during the period when hockey jerseys were standard rap apparel, but no one fucked with the leafs.  Not even me!  I could give a shit about hockey, but the fact that Snoop was rocking our home team was some ill shit.  I guess the Crip connection might have had something to do with it in retrospect.

Peep your boy Dr. Dre on the cuts, sick shit.  I had to include this link to bring additional light to Dre’s skills on the ones and twos ever since I dl’d it from our boys at ittakesanationofmillionstoholdthissac.  It’s an old ass Dre mixtape called U Got Ganked and it is straight fire.

I have more to come from this Arsenio episode with Snoop, so stay tuned.  Big up House since he’ll be into this more than anyone else.

The whole theme of this segment of our website is to showcase guys who probably only ever had a couple interviews in their life and then continued living in randomness and obscurity.  If anyone knows what “Jam” is up to these days, holler at the kid.  What I gather in this clip is that he was an accomplished airbrush artist, which was obviously quite popular at the time this was shot.  Given that this art has had somewhat of a resurgence in popularity, perhaps our boy Jam is back in the game on some..”I knew this would pay off one day” shit.
