How Can I Makes My Grip?

and how should I make that n*&%@ straight slip?
Another video from the classic Arsenio episode featuring Snoop Doggy Dogg. This time, he performs Tha Shiznit with the help of The Dogg Pound. Dre has an ill mix going on in the beginning. I can’t call what he is mixing with the beat but it sounds proper. This song has way better energy here in this live performance than on the LP version. He just has so much swagger in this whole period. Also, doing a track with a huge diss to Uncle Luke in it is on national TV is a strong move. Finally, whoever came with the idea of the black and white effect on the video? Good job.

I can remember this so well. I was studying at the University of Michigan at the time and they had a huge TV in the student lounge in South Quad. Most of the athletes were in residence in SQ and I can remember watching this with a whole crowd of people when Jalen Rose walked in with a couple of his boys while Snoop was performing “What’s My Name?”. That was major.
Dre is cutting a lot of breaks over the track here, but I’m almost positive that one of them is “Dazz” by Brick. It’s the break that Ice Cube used for No Vaseline.
