Live! In Snoop’s backyard!

Posted by Maximum Fun on 17th August 2006

I don’t watch a lot of regular TV, because I don’t have cable. Most of what I see are things that I cared enough about to steal from the internet. I was watching regular TV the other day, slumped on my mother’s sofa after moving furniture for a few hours, and I saw something amazing. I guess this is like five or six years old, and everyone else has already seen it, but it blew my mind. I’m talking about Snoop Dogg’s episode of Cribs.

Now, please understand that it came on after an hour of “Rock Gods” Cribs, which made me hate “Rock Gods” forever. (Except Sebastian Bach, who showed off his comic book collection, which I thought was hilarious).

There are a lot of amazing moments in this.

* Right off the bat, he describes his “Players Rooms,” including his “Untouchable Room,” where he “touch on bases of untouchablism, you know.”

* He says his favorite award is his American Music Award, “with Dick Clark. Dick Clark a real playa. What’s up Dick?!”

Some other choice quotes…

Snoop on his favorite singers

* “This is me and Anita Baker after I won the Soul Train Awards. She like one of my favorite singers.”

Snoop on his refrigerator

* “We keep it gangsta up in here… popsicles… leggo my eggo.”

Snoop on swimming

* “Right now, I’m the best swimmer, but my uncle Junebug think he could out swim me. He 60 years old.”

Snoop on fun

* “That neighbor over there used to bother me. He used to call the police and say I made loud noise and party hearty. I’m a young man, I was born to party, y’dig?”

And finally, most delightfully of all, Snoop on his basketball companions

The most amazing thing in the whole film is when he’s showing his basketball court, which he clearly loves. “Man… we done had a whole mess of celebrities. Chris Tucker… Jodeci… we even had BBD out here.”

Chris Tucker is about who you’d think would be playing basketball with the Dogg, right? But then he goes straight to JODECI and BELL BIV DEVOE. “I’m out here with Soopafly and Daz Dillinger,” or “I’m out here with Master P and Dre.” He’s bragging that he plays basketball with JODECI and BELL BIV DEVOE. Those are the “signature celebrities” of the Snoop Dogg basketball court. Snoop Dogg is AWESOME. Dogghouse is INDEED major.
