Ep.20 - Snoop Dogg

The DITD duo continues their "Retrospective" series with one of the most visible figures in Hip-Hop history. Snoop Dogg.

There's plenty of ways to hail Snoop Dogg, from his music to his cultural ubiquity, to his business acumen, to his activism. Ben & Charlie cover all of these (In a "We are not worthy" fashion) and more as they figure out why Hip-Hop fans don't rate him as heavy in today's landscape. Is it because he's constantly evolved his persona? Is it because of his diverse portfolio?

All of that & some words on his latest release "I Wanna Thank Me". With one of one statistics & an oxymoronic "Lighter Note", both from Ben. Enjoy.
