As it seems, Snoop is setting himself up to have a video for every song on Doggumentary.

This track is three decades of Hip-Hop coming together with E-40 from the 80s, Snoop from the 90s, and Jeezy from the 2000s.

The radio bait stands out as like lint in blacklight; but when the Doggumentary gets in the thick of its chapters, you already knew Big Snoop would circle around the blocks of 21 Jumpstreet one good time.

Tha D-O Double G had a successful run with his weekly weed smoker series and to keep his Doggumentary album in everybody’s mouth, he recruits the Westside’s go-to-pointman, DJ Skee to put the pieces together to make it LP.  If Snoop’s involved, you know it’s an A-list affair.
