Shootin' Tha Shit With Snoop... On Learning to Rap: "If you wanna become a rapper, it's like you wanna become a student in college. You gotta become a student to the game. I listen to a lot of other artists to get an idea what's the hottest shit out there, so when my shit come out it's way better and you don't even wanna hear that other shit no more." // On Doggystyle: "A lot of people misinterpret it. They think it's a sexual comment. But it's not. Doggystyle is just my way of putting things. I try to be original. I have my own special way of doin' things." // On Being Labeled A Gang Member: "I ain't never been no drive-by shoot 'em up, hell of a gangbanger. But it was like the environment I was in, muthaf#ckers, was in a gang. But it don't matter cuz if the n!ggas come ridin', they gonna ride on all of us. They not gonna say 'Okay, you can get on up out the way. We knew you ain't banging.' I mean, I had to wear that jacket. And I wore the muthaf#cker and I took it off. I want peace on the streets like it was on 4-29-92. That shit felt good. Bloods, Crips, everybody just chillin.' I ain't never felt that before, being able to go to neighborhoods where they restrict you cuz you wear this color and they wear that color. Everybody was together. That's what my music's goin' for -- to make you stop bangin' for a second. Listen to my music and get on another vibe." // On Dr. Dre: "Musically, we on the same vibe. And we both allow constructive criticism and allow each other to come in and help out rather than be selfish. It's like I could come with a track that might be bumpin' in your eyes or my eyes but when Dre's finished with it, it bumpin' everybody's eyes, cuz he's got that finishin' touch. But personality-wise, I'm more low-key than Dre is. I'm real in the cut." // On Success: "I'm chillin.' I'm just somebody who got an opportunity to express his God-given talent and doin' it to the fullest. Lots of distractions come with it but I'm strong and I understand the game and I respect it. I do all I have to do to keep it goin' on like it's goin'." // On Being Real: "You can take me out of the ghetto but you can't take the ghetto out of me. No matter where I'm at, I'm still gonna be the same person." - Press Kit (1993). Released 11/23/93, revisit the LP below...
