Snoop Dogg Weighs In on Snitching: ‘They Telling and Then They Become Gangster’

He thinks they're telling now more than ever.

Snoop Dogg gave his opinion on gangsters snitching recently at ComplexCon.

In a live taping of Drink Champs with Dr. Dre, Snoop voiced his opinion when asked about an old Dr. Dre line, “The game ain’t the same for gangsters.”

“They telling now,” said Snoop simply. When host N.O.R.E responded with the fact that they’ve always been telling, Snoop retorted “not at this rate” — prompting the crowd to laugh out loud.

Snoop continued on, elaborating on his thought. “They telling and then they become gangster,” said Snoop, referring to no one in particular. “It used to be that if you told, you weren't gangster. Now, you’re telling and then you become a gangster.”

As the crowd continued laughing, Snoop had one last remark about the topic. “That ain’t in the book that I read out of,” he added.

Elsewhere in the conversation, Snoop revealed who he’d work with if he could make a song with anyone that could save humanity. First, he started with the producers that he’d work with — Dr. Dre and the late Quincy Jones.

Then, Snoop revealed which artists that he’d work with. “You said save humanity right, and change the world?” Snoop asked. “Gotta get Marvin Gaye.”

Snoop also joked with Dre and the Drink Champs hosts about whether he believed that Stevie Wonder could actually see. "On everything I love, Stevie Wonder does FaceTime me," Snoop said. "I can't make this shit up. I was in there chilling, getting my hair done with my hair and my phone and my hairstylist is like, ‘Did that say Stevie Wonder?’ I said, yep. I went boop and he was like, ’N***a, I've been looking for you.’

Afterwards, Dre added his own questionable story about Stevie. “No, Stevie Wonder calls me like at 5:00 a.m. and he's asking me to text him. I'm like, ‘What the…fuck?’ I hang up the phone, I'm like, ‘What the fuck this n***a just say? Stevie wants me to text him,” Dre explained.
