The O.G. Long Beach rapper sealed up his tribute by flexing his versatility with songs from his gospel album, Bible Of Love.
Dressed in a pulpit robe, the D-O-Double-G commanded the mic like a proper preacher would. In the background, choir singers donned in black sang along as Snoop gave it up to his heavenly father. [apple_news_ad type=”any”]
