Welcome to Younghollywood. com. What it do is your boy Big Snoop D-O-Double-G, King of the West Coast and you do know that, you bitch you. And I'm on Young Hollywood and this is the only Hollywood, Hollywood. What am I in Hollywood. You understand what I'm saying. It's Young Hollywood. So please don't touch the dizzle, my nizzle. We'll be back in a flash. What's up guys? It's Michelle Marie. I am here with Snoop D-O-Double-G, showing me his Obamas right here. And you do know that. Yes we can. Yes we can. Now tonight your nephew took the stage, Young Dre, the truth. Young Hollywood. Oh my homies. Can everybody say it? C-H-I-E-F-B-B-I-A. C-H-I-E-F-B-B-I-A. I like that song. C-H-I-E-F-B-B-I-A.

C-H-I-E-F-B-B-I-A. He go hard with it. That's his movement. He pushing it. That's his thing, you know. Yeah, yeah, I'm down with that. I'm, I'm glad to see that we have a fresh new artist coming from the West that can push, you know, his own separate line and not, you know, be a follower, but be a trendsetter. Now the last time we saw you Snoop was on the field at the Snoop Ball over in Arizona back in the day, and you know, you've always had passion for those kids. I hate winning. You'd rather lose? I hate winning. It's cold out. Who is responsible for that? Which player are you think? Them bad kids over there, man. They love their coach.

Definitely with your career, over 15 years, you know you're an icon. And those kids look up to you. What are things that you have to do to always remind yourself, you know what, keep doing it, making myself, you know, be that example for those kids. I just, I just go back to that time when I was young and I didn't know what I wanted to do in life and once I finally grabbed a hold to what I wanted to do, which was this music thing. And I loved every minute of it, despite me not being able to make money or have a career. I had to believe in myself and I want to say that to the youngsters out there that's watching.

You know, believe in anything that you believe in, but have the most believe in it yourself. Whether it's being a doctor or a lawyer or a chemist or whatever it is, you have to believe yourself and then once you believe the dream will come true. And then people will believe in you. That's what dreams are made of. You have to believe in it and then the dreams can come to life. Where do you see yourself going, you know, in the next five years? What can we expect from Snoop and with his music? I plan on doing a lot of different things, becoming the CEO of some big record label and putting out great music and establishing myself as one of the greatest to ever do it.

And just to continue to diversify myself and make music that will last longer than me and just, you know, reach out and do things that people wouldn't expect me to do and just that's just be Snoop Dogg at all times. You know what I'm saying? And you've always stayed true to who you really are no matter how long you've been in this industry. I mean, that's one thing about you that I really, really love. What always keeps you motivated to keep doing what you do, you know, year after year, after year. I think just being where I come from and knowing that, you know, if I stop believing, I could be right back there again.

So I believe that I got to continue to push and work hard and, you know, through my relationships in life with different people, I picked up different, you know, work ethics and, you know, beliefs about how I should do things and I just do it the only way that I know how, the old fashion way. It's kind of random, but one word in the dictionary that is your word, your favorite word. What would you choose? Conglomerate. Cause that's what I am. Heard it here first.
