Snoop Dogg, Ice Cube, Too $hort and E-40 — collectively known as Mt. Westmore — have finally dropped their first collaborative single and accompanying video.
Titled “Big Subwoofer,” the bass heavy, braggadocious track is the perfect example of the West Coast gangsta rap that made them famous.
The supergroup shared an Instagram post on Tuesday (October 19) teasing the track with the single’s cover art and noting the single would arrive at midnight ET on Wednesday (October 20), which just happens to be Snoop Dogg’s 50th birthday.
According to a Def Jam Recordings press release, the song will live on Snoop Dogg’s forthcoming album and first project for Def Jam under his new executive role, Snoop Dogg Presents THE ALGORITHM.
“There’s so much talent on this record, so many styles of music, it breaks the algorithm,” Snoop Dogg says. “Right now, the algorithm is telling us you have to rap this way, you have to sound this way, but they’re not telling you how it’s supposed to feel. My algorithm is going to give you a feeling, not a sound.”
On Monday (October 18), Mt. Westmore received a little promo help from Eminem, who tweeted out their first video snippet. HipHopDX learned Too $hort, Ice Cube, Snoop Dogg and E-40 had formed a supergroup in December 2020 after obtaining an exclusive clip of the Serch Says podcast featuring Short Dawg.
“I get a call during the early part of the quarantine from E-40 and Ice Cube going, ‘Man, we feel like we should do an album. Like me, you … it’s E-40, Cube, Too $hort and Snoop Dogg,” he explained. “And I’m like — E-40 and Too $hort from the Bay, Snoop Dogg and Cube are from L.A. and we like the West Coast foundation. We sat there and was like, ‘Fuck it, let’s do it.’ So, we start coming up with beats.”
Mt. Westmore made their live performance debut at Triller’s 2021 Fight Club event in April. The four-hour Pay-Per-View affair included performances from Doja Cat, Saweetie, Justin Bieber, The Black Keys, Diplo and Major Lazer.
Too $hort, Ice Cube, Snoop Dogg & E-40 Have Formed A Supergroup
The legendary foursome is planning on releasing a full-length album in the near future. Speaking to DX in February, Too $hort revealed Dr. Dre is the sole feature.
“Dre is on there, man,” $hort confirmed. “He’s on there. Snoop got him on there. Dre is on there. That’s Snoop’s guy. That’s Ice Cube’s guy. They shot a big movie together. He’s on there. Ain’t no doubt about it. You don’t even got to ask him.”

sounds like snoop is going to have a run at 50 lol. New album, super bowl halftime show, and Mt westmore album. Doing all this at 50. Please give the man his flowers please.
Facts. It’s gonna be hard to sell to young folks, that’s for truth. But I’m ready for it. Being 45 myself. I ain’t trying to be with the in-crowd no more. I ain’t judging according to somebody else’s facial expressions
E-40s bars have been wack for a minute. he needs to step his bars up
Stop smoking peanuts
E-40 covers the same street topics as everyone else but uses language in a creative and unique way and creates vivid images with his lyrics. His songs don’t all sound the same. He’s a true artist and a trend setter. His sound isn’t for everyone
They look old fat and have weak lyrics. It’s not the 90s anymore. Nobody cares for them. Wack ass snoop who is doing wack reality shows and selling his soul for money. Cube with his wack unfunny movies. Too Short probably still addicted to drugs and E 40 he is so wack and aint worth mentioning.
Either you’re from the east coast or mad your millennial artist could never gain the popularity of these four or sell out an arena.
Dope video but the song wack as fuck
Nah, they both suck. Like you.
They’re trying to serve two different audiences, which makes this song a schizophrenic mess. The old school hiphop fans and the new school migos lovers can’t possibly like the same song. Pick one side and rock it, otherwise you just caught in no man’s land
So even in their 40s and 50s these so-called legends don’t have anything else to offer than misogynistic lyrics……how pathetic….
Kinda like Rock n Roll artists huh
Like AC/DC and the rest aren’t doing the same thing.
You sounding like a little bitch right now. Ho! You probably tounge kiss sluts and hold hands with strippers. Simp. Your “girl” runs you. If those are their pronouns.
Right on brother. Young bucks these days are soft, feminine and are of questionable manliness and then want to act or type some flowery words try to sound sophisticated to express their sensitivity to being soft. Most I see can’t even bench press their own weight. Pathetic.
AMEN.
Mysoginistic lyrics. Oh snap. You sound like such a b*&@h! lol, what goof. Not like they ain’t still doin that today.
Go ride off on your white horse now. Ha, worse part is this fool thinks he’s gonna get laid like that is the best bit but jokes on you cuz women front for that shit cuz it’s currently “popular” and/or “trendy” but don’t want a hair bun havin saviour they want a man and you gettin straight passed up and don’t even know why. Good luck playa. Women LOVE this shit. Women LOVE to be seen as desirable and sexy. You can scan the college campuses I guess and think you found someone who don’t…until you find them hooked up with someone who def ain’t you cuz people is people regardless of current trendy political statements. lol.
Worst video ever. Whenever Cube is in the mix shit gets corny as fuck. Death Certificate was his last good project. Going on 30 years of Disney movies and mediocre kindergarten raps.
I actually dig the video more than the song itself. But I have to admit I’m a huge Star Wars fan;-)
The bass background gave this hit some juice
