[APPLAUSE]
JIMMY KIMMEL: Thanks for coming.
It's good to have you here,
May I ask about your SpongeBob
necklace there?
SNOOP DOGG: SpongeBob--
JIMMY KIMMEL: Yeah,
why SpongeBob?
SNOOP DOGG: He lives in a
pineapple up under the sea.
JIMMY KIMMEL: And you can
relate to that sometimes?
SNOOP DOGG: I can
relate to that.
And I'm also in the new
SpongeBob 3 movie coming out.
JIMMY KIMMEL: Oh, you are?
Wow, nice.
Well it's the least they could
do with you promoting them.
SNOOP DOGG: They
gave me a chain.
Right?
Give me something.
JIMMY KIMMEL: You were at--
which game were you at?
SNOOP DOGG: I was at game three.
JIMMY KIMMEL: Three.
Up in Oakland.
SNOOP DOGG: Yeah.
JIMMY KIMMEL: Were you
rooting for the Warriors?
SNOOP DOGG: Well,
I'm a California guy,
so I just basically was rooting
for some good basketball.
And then, me being in
northern California,
I guess I was rooting
for the Warriors.
JIMMY KIMMEL: Now you say
you're a California guy,
but you never root for
the Clippers, do you?
SNOOP DOGG: Never.
JIMMY KIMMEL: Never, yeah .
Because you're a Lakers fan.
SNOOP DOGG: Right.
JIMMY KIMMEL: So that's what
I wanted to ask you about.
Drake is a friend
of yours-- right?
SNOOP DOGG: Right.
JIMMY KIMMEL: Yeah
Drake's a Raptors fan,
but he has Steph Curry and Kevin
Durant tattooed on his body.
Would you ever get a Clipper
tattooed on your body?
SNOOP DOGG: Never.
JIMMY KIMMEL: Never.
It's unthinkable, right?
SNOOP DOGG: I mean,
It's outlandish.
[LAUGHTER]
JIMMY KIMMEL: Who do you
want to come to the Lakers?
There have been a lot of rumors.
There's a lot of speculation.
In your perfect world,
who plays with LeBron?
SNOOP DOGG: Kawhi Leonard.
JIMMY KIMMEL: Mm-hmm.
SNOOP DOGG: Anthony Davis.
JIMMY KIMMEL: Mm-hmm,
That'd be a good start.
SNOOP DOGG: Right.
JIMMY KIMMEL: For sure.
SNOOP DOGG: Yeah.
JIMMY KIMMEL: Do you
ever talk to these guys?
Do you ever call them
and sell them on LA?
SNOOP DOGG: Well
you know, I'm not
considered tampering because
I'm not a part of the ownership.
JIMMY KIMMEL: Right.
SNOOP DOGG: So I have definitely
reached out to a lot of players
that I felt that I wanted
to see play on our team,
but I'm not one of
the general managers.
So I don't control that.
But at the same time, I try to
influence by saying that there
are many business
opportunities, there's
many things that
we could provide
for you outside of basketball.
JIMMY KIMMEL: Uh-huh.
SNOOP DOGG: You know
what I'm saying?
JIMMY KIMMEL: Specifically--
[LAUGHTER]
JIMMY KIMMEL: I know
exactly what you're saying.
[APPLAUSE]
JIMMY KIMMEL:
Things you might not
be able to get up in Toronto.
SNOOP DOGG: Exactly.
JIMMY KIMMEL: Although,
maybe you can, I guess.
Yeah.
OK.
Interesting.
Well, would you ever consider
a position with the Lakers?
Like let's say Magic left.
If they said, Snoop why
don't you be President
of Basketball Operations?
Would you snap that up?
SNOOP DOGG: I'd take it on.
JIMMY KIMMEL: You would?
SNOOP DOGG: I'd take it on.
[APPLAUSE]
JIMMY KIMMEL: When it came
to like trading players,
cutting players, do you think
you would have the heart
to do that sort of thing?
SNOOP DOGG: It's a business.
JIMMY KIMMEL: Yeah.
SNOOP DOGG: And they
have to understand that.
It's not personal.
It's a business.
And if somebody
wants to trade you,
that just means that
you didn't do your job.
That's why you're up
on the trading block.
But if you were doing
your job, your name would
never be on the trading block.
JIMMY KIMMEL: Well, sometimes
a good player will get traded
to get a different position.
SNOOP DOGG: Def, indeed.
But that's meaning that he
has some sort of sideline--
him and the coach
don't get along,
or the upstairs don't get along.
JIMMY KIMMEL: What
about the marijuana
test, though, for the NBA?
Does that apply to the President
of Basketball Operations?
SNOOP DOGG: That's the first
rule we're getting rid of.
JIMMY KIMMEL: That's right.
[APPLAUSE]
JIMMY KIMMEL: Now, Snoop,
you have an album coming out.
It's called, as I mentioned,
"I Want to Thank Me."
And I was on your show
with Martha Stewart,
and we discussed
your Hollywood--
Snoop was inducted into
the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
JIMMY KIMMEL: Look at me,
Jimmy I'm apologizing early.
JIMMY KIMMEL: Snoop,
there were three
speakers on Snoop's behalf:
Quincy Jones, Dr. Dre,
and, yours truly.
And we each gave a
speech, and at the end,
Snoop said I want to thank
Quincy, you're a mentor to me.
I want to thank Dre,
you believed in me.
And most of all-- and I'm
like, wow, most of all--
I want to thank me.
Me, not me.
So, I was like, but what about--
Anyway, I figured out a way
we can put this behind us.
SNOOP DOGG: Can't we?
JIMMY KIMMEL: Yes.
And here it is.
You don't have any cover art
for your album yet, right?
SNOOP DOGG: No, I don't.
JIMMY KIMMEL: OK, well
we've made something,
and I'd just like
you to consider this.
[LAUGHTER]
[APPLAUSE]
JIMMY KIMMEL: I think
this could be really--
SNOOP DOGG: That's kind of hot.
JIMMY KIMMEL: What do you think?
SNOOP DOGG: That's,
wait a minute.
That's kind of hot.
They used to do that in the
'60s with the black artists.
They didn't want
them on the covers,
so they would take somebody else
and put another face on there
JIMMY KIMMEL: Perfect!
SNOOP DOGG: Let's do it.
JIMMY KIMMEL: I like it.
It's got history and everything.
SNOOP DOGG: I liked it.
That's fine, Jimmy.
JIMMY KIMMEL: Anyway,
just think about it.
So put up the photograph
of the Guinness--
you set a Guinness
world record recently.
The largest gin and
juice ever, right?
How many gallons was
that, do you know?
SNOOP DOGG: Man, that thing
was at least 50 gallons, man.
Because we just kept
pouring and pouring
and pouring and pouring.
Then we started stirring.
I'm like, how are we
supposed to drink this stuff?
JIMMY KIMMEL: Well I would
like to set a Guinness world
record with you if we could.
SNOOP DOGG: Wow.
JIMMY KIMMEL: And that is
the smallest gin and juice.
And we have tiny--
what's the right ratio for
a proper gin and juice?
SNOOP DOGG: You've got to
put more juice than gin.
JIMMY KIMMEL: More
juice than gin, OK.
SNOOP DOGG: If you want
to finish the show.
JIMMY KIMMEL: OK, so
I'll do the juice.
SNOOP DOGG: OK.
Juicer.
Bang.
JIMMY KIMMEL: Uh-huh.
And then-- oh.
SNOOP DOGG: That's tight.
Look at that.
You've got a little chemistry
lab going on up here, huh?
JIMMY KIMMEL: Yeah, it's funny.
And then--
SNOOP DOGG: That don't
come out like juice.
That come out like
something else.
What is that?
What are you trying to make--
JIMMY KIMMEL: We're running
a fertility program.
SNOOP DOGG: What are you
trying to make me drink on TV?
JIMMY KIMMEL: Now
I would like you
to do the honors with the gin.
There we go.
Nice.
Well done Oh, you've
done this before.
SNOOP DOGG: Oh yeah .
With baking soda.
Baking soda.
JIMMY KIMMEL: Nice.
And now, we can to have a toast
to you and your new album.
And to our new
Guinness world record
for tiniest gin and juice.
To you, Snoop Doggy Dogg.
[APPLAUSE]
JIMMY KIMMEL: Delicious.
Snoop Dogg, everybody.
His album, "I Wanna Thank
Me" comes out next month.
