The video treatment is as straightforward as the message. Do your thing, which in the case of Snoop means smoking bleezies while Dam-Funk is posted up by the bar drinking Godfathers, keytar strapped, and distilling the same no-nonsense approach as your favorite Don. As you might expect, there is a gyrating girl who has been […]

Chris Daly would be the highest person at the 7 Days of Funk Release Party tonight if he lived in LA. In a year largely dominated by the likes of Kanye, the Arcade Fire, and BIG DEAL, SELF-IMPORTANT ALBUMS, it’s nice to come across a little project that’s simply a good time waiting to be […]

Earlier this year, Dam-Funk, Jon Casey, and I rolled around in a rented car through Pasadena (Dam’s old-skool was in the shop). The trip to his old stomping grounds in Northwest Pasadena yielded this story for Pasadena Magazine, and eventually, this nine minute mini-doc which Jon edited and directed. I got the producer credit, mainly […]

There’s a lot to say about 7 Days of Funk, but conversely, you really only need to say, this is some deliriously funky shit. It’s to be expected from the two funkiest men to have spent serious time in the (213). 2013 has proved the durability of the 40-plus rapper. Eminem and Jay-Z will easily […]

The best part of this interview is obviously when Nardwuar gives Snoop the vinyls of The Dream Team and The Posse Volume 2. The Snoop Lion guise is immediately dropped and he starts doing old school electro-funk sing-a-longs and talking about the days when people would beat you with a baseball bat for turning on […]

Max Bell finds the revulsion invigorating. Another year. Another BET awards. Another round of ciphers. I give you my thoughts off the top of the dome. But really though, off the top of the dome. Seriously, I didn’t write this, look at it, think about it, and then try to make it sound better or […]

Straight out of an alternate utopian 1983 comes this slice of turquoise-colored funk that somehow slipped under everyone’s notice this week. Mayer Hawthorne and Snoop, remixed by Dam-Funk, who adds a beautiful sunset to what was already a smooth ride. Every Sunday needs some soul music. Download: MP3: Mayer Hawthorne ft. Snoop Dogg (Dam-Funk G-Mix) […]

Action Bronson swings by GGN. No. They couldn’t get the roast turkey. But they did get the trippy stick. A must when backflipping from a plane onto a jet ski, doing an interview, or waiting for your tart fennel with the apple at ‘the restaurant.’ Puffing hibiscus, Bronsolino gives those who haven’t been following along […]

Max Bell bought a lot of St. Ides when he was 4. In 1971, Jean Knight asked Mr. Big Stuff, ‘Who do you think you are?’ In response, a newborn boy by the name of Calvin Broadus spoke his first words: ‘I’m muthafuckin Snoop Dogg, baby.’ It’s rumored that the boy didn’t speak for years […]
