Snoop Dogg is turning the remains of his smoked blunts into art.
TMZ reports that Snoop is collaborating with artist Erica Kovitz to create “Rich N Infamous: The Joint Venture.” Kovitz has preserved Snoop’s blunt roach ends with plastic and chrome proxy on top of pigment panels on acrylic. The artist has also infused cannabis residue into them to make the designs of the collection even better looking.
According to Snoop, these pieces will be up for sale. They can’t be smoked, of course, but if you want a literal piece of a rap legend on your wall, you should look into purchasing one.
To get a closer look at Snoop and Kovitz’s art, you’ll have to come to 9891 S. Santa Monica Blvd in Beverly Hills, California, where they’ll be on display via gallery in June. According to TMZ, the pieces, which are all autographed, already have offers, so prepare to shell out some serious cash.
Last year, Snoop made it possible for fans to own a roach from a blunt the rapper once smoked. The rare item is part of “The Shiznit: The Snoop Dogg Memorabilia Auction,” which features authenticated collectibles and is currently live online.
Earlier this month, Snoop Dogg spoke about a different kind of art on The Breakfast Club when he revealed how he felt when Kendrick Lamar called him out on the song “wacced out murals” for sharing Drake’s AI-assisted diss track, “Taylor Made Freestyle.”
"That's my lil' homie. He spoke his mind," Snoop explained, admitting that "as an older guy," sometimes he doesn't "have the radar" on what he's doing.
"We family," he explained. "You can't have a spat or misunderstanding with your brother, your cousin? That's how it's supposed to be. It ain't supposed to get no bigger than that, it's supposed to be... understood. What's understood don't need to be explained."
Snoop then explained that he’s okay with being confronted about his support, too. "See, a big dawg can get checked if it’s by the right person, if he's got the right intellect,” he added. “There’s nothing wrong with properly being put in place, if you’re outta place. That's what's wrong with half of us, that we feel like the young generation can't tell us nothing. You used to be young, too, and you had a mind and you had a spirit, and sometimes the young generation can teach the old dog a new trick, if he willing to listen."
