It's sometimes hard to remember that Snoop Dogg was once considered a serious threat to society. In his earliest interviews, he spoke of his life on the streets, dealing drugs, and being a pimp; in 1993, he was charged with murder (but was acquitted in 1996); and, at various points, he's been banned from entering the U.K., Norway, and Australia. But over the years, Snoop has seamlessly transformed himself from a serious Death Row Records G to a mild-mannered weed-legalization campaigner who released a reggae album two years ago featuring a track titled "No Guns Allowed." Now, supporting Bush, his 13th full-length, Snoop has put together an incredible lineup of some of the finest hip-hop artists California has to offer. We couldn't have predicted in 1993 that Snoop would still be going strong in 2015 — but we're very glad he is.
