Snoop Dogg & Wiz Khalifa at the Wiltern Last Night
Instead of sticking with his material, Mr. Dogg ran through a plethora of verses he did on other rappers' albums. This was pretty cool because you don't think you're going to hear this stuff live and it kept the show moving because every two minutes was another awesome verse.
A few girls came out to dance with Snoop during "I Wanna Fuck You," but the highlight of the evening by far was hearing the crowd sing Nate Dogg's intro and choruses on "Ain't No Fun (If The Homies Can't Have None)." According to my brother, Snoop's verse on this song is the best 12 bars in hip-hop history. He might be young, but I'd have to agree with my sibling's assessment because Snoop killed that track last night.
I'm white. I wear glasses. I sport cardigans and I read books. But goddamn it, I was dancing my skinny ass off to this song and it had nothing to do with the perpetual cloud of smoke that hung around like a stoned version of Pigpen from "Peanuts." You see, there's just something about Snoop's music that starts a party. Go ahead -- listen to anything off Doggystyle and tell me you don't have a smile on your face.
Wiz re-joined Snoop for the final half hour of the show, which featured a bunch of songs of the duo's soundtrack to a film called Mac + Devin Go To High School. Two clips of the film were played between songs. The first, I recall, had something to do with a children's show called "Captain Kush" while the other was a competition of dudes doing crazy shit with their smoke inhalation. The contest, of course, was judged by Snoop and Wiz (or maybe their characters. At this point, who the hell knew what was going on?).
