Snoop Dogg was evidently in a reflective mood on Wednesday (March 11) when he shared a throwback video of himself talking about the late Tupac Shakur. In the clip, the interviewer asked him what he learned from his friendship with the late gangsta rap legend.
“I think what I learned from 2Pac was basically a different type of work ethic,” he said. “I always had a good work ethic about myself as far as being timely and being on point and being a professional, but he just showed me how to be a little more faster at it as far as getting to the meat of it all and not really just listening to it all the time, and not absorbing it but more just doing it and keep doing it and doing it. Let the engineer mix it and master it, not fall in love with it, but fall in love with the craft of being able to do it and continue to do it.
“But I feel like that was something that was passed on to me and now, I’m showing it through my work ethic as far as different things I do and the way I diversify myself. [I’m gonna] pass that on to the young generation to show them that you can do the same thing I’m doing ’cause that’s an old man if I’m doing it.”
He wrote in the caption, “wise words from pac to dogg 2 y’all.”
Snoop Dogg and 2Pac collaborated numerous times, most memorably on “2 Of Amerikaz Most Wanted” from ‘Pac’s 1996 album All Eyez On Me.
The project also featured The Outlawz, Dr. Dre, George Clinton, E-40, Redman, Method Man, Tha Dogg Pound, K-Ci & JoJo and Roger Troutman of Zapp and Roger. DJ Quik, Johnny “J,” Dre, Rick Rock, Daz Dillinger, DJ Pooh, DeVante Swing and ‘Pac himself were among the producers who contributed to the album.

‘Pac was gunned down seven months after its release at the age of 25. The murder remains unsolved.
Snoop didn’t like 2Pac, hated on him for diverting all of the label’s attention, and taking them 3 years to release his sophomore album Dogg Father.
Correction, 2pac hated Snoop for trying to make peace with Biggie and Puffy behind their backs and eventually leaving Death Row after Dre left .. And Death Row was right in not releasing Doggfather earlier cuz that album was trash lol
And so Big headed puffy thought it was all love from the West and proceeded to take Biggie to Cali….and you know….that drive by….
tbh it’s no wonder that Snoop didn’t like Pac. if you look at it, Snoop is more of a calm, laid back, peaceful type of person. The whole Dogg Pound is just smoke & chill. 2Pac on the other hand was loud af, aggresive, yelling, jumping, screaming, always in the centre of attention. Plus he was on Death Row only for 9 months and already tried to be a boss, whereas Snoop was there from the beginning and helped to build the label when it was nothing. Two different types of people entirely, their disagreement was bound to happen sooner or later.
After 24 Years Y’all Dumb Ass Youngins Still In Da Dark. DUMB DEATH AND BLIND. WHAT R U. 17?? TALK TO G’S THAT WAS THERE FOOLZ. YALK DONT KNO YA ASS FROM A HOLE IN DA GROUND.

Every album Tupac every dropped was a classic. Snoop dog is 1 for 17, with an additional 16 Mixtapes, 3 EPs, and 1 visual album hahah.
How did I know he was going to throw this one out, lol.
Man no spot for the @CorridorCrew who interviewed him while helping with the @pac deefake.
Man no one wants to hear this shit!
2pac would always have something to say. if he were still alive we need him these days.
Eminem is trash! Why he spent his early career beefing with popstars who are women? Brittany spears, christina Aguilera, Mariah carrey, his BM, his mom etc. If he so hard and a great battle rapper then why he never went at real emcees? He is the great white hype for hip hop. He admitted himself he is a guest in house of hip hop!
Tupac and Snoop recorded numerous songs together? What other songs did they record besides gangsta party
Other Pac/Snoop collabs Life’s so hard, wanted dead or alive, out the moon, Streetlife, Ready Fo, World wide dime piece, Just Watching, Don’t stop. There are more
Snoop Dogg was my hero i my teenage years. In 2005 there was a consert in Kristiansand, Norway, in a festival called quart festival. The first and last time i saw Snoop Dogg live, when we had to wait 1 and a half hour for him to show up, all because he was in his hotel room playing xbox. This was because he thought 10.000 people was a too small crowd for him. Not very timely, not very good work ethic’y, not very humble either. All this was confirmed by sources close to Snoop. I still love Snoops music, and still like the guy. But i dont have the same respect for him after that… Just a little piece of info..
1. Pick new hero’s. 2. Was this your first rap concert? I’ve been to dozens of rap concerts in my life (40+) and only 3 times did the main act show up and start when they were supposed to. All 3 times were The Roots.
For a guy who was disloyal to Pac, he sure has a lot to say about him.
