I've long been amazed at Snoop Dogg's staying power and reinvention game. Admittedly, the last Snoop joint that I spent a lot of time with was "Deep Cover" in 1992. He returned to the music game last week as a part of West Coast royalty super group Mount Westmore. I clicked on the video to support Ice Cube, but for four brothers at or above 50 years old, the lyrics to "Big Subwoofer" had me having another personal conversation with myself. This Snoop topic had me looking in the mirror with regard to my own language (eg b**** and ho) throughout the years. Over the same weekend, Jay-Z's induction into the Rock 'n Roll Hall of Fame went down (and LL Cool J too), and I had to appreciate Hov's rarely celebrated ability to grow up with his lyrical content - as he's went through several life events as a man. Sticking with entertainment, I had to touch on Apple TV+ and Kevin Durant's new series Swagger and whether the streaming service will make any in-roads with Black viewers. Correction: Dr. Dre inducted LL Cool J and not Jay-Z as mentioned in the pod.
