[@keithspringston9283]

Snoop was my favorite of the 90s. He was close to being one of the first rappers I ever heard and was so smooth and gangsta at the same time. No one else has that voice and everytime hed come on to rap in a song I knew instantly it was him no question! Truly talented artist and there will never be another like him.

[@toniciariley1466]

Can I say one of my most favorite interviews ever?! Can I say that? This is my very first time I'm actually seeing this interview but this is the Snoop Dogg that I came to really like and respect growing up. This was and still is my favorite rapper. Not only does he have rappin skills and can really flow when it comes to music, but the fact that he can just be completely honest and 100% real about any and everything that you ask him and any and everything that he does. He does not sugarcoat an ounce of anything and that is just absolutely amazing.

[@mmjr881]

He killed that freestyle and didn't even hesitate unlike rappers these days..snoop is one of best imo...

[@johnjancar6152]

Oh come on, you don't actually think he was completely freestyling do you lol All rappers, and I know, have a certain bag of rhymes, for lack of a better term, that they go to when they're asked to freestyle. They've written so many songs, so many rhymes, that they can just pick one off the top of their head that not many people know about, and go with that. They'll add some impromptu here and there, they'll freestyle a bit..but the basic rhymes in the freestyle are something that they've probably written down a long time ago. That's how it works. Not all of them, but alot of them do that. I'd like to hear a rapper one day, be asked to completely freestyle about the immediate environment, let's say you're on a TV show like this, ask them to rap about being on Arsenio, the crowd, the band, all of it, and have it be completely impromptu. I'd like to see how that sounds lol Probably not as good quite frankly. But that's how it goes, it's still Snoop, and he's the man. I guess lol

[@Pewling]

***** A freestyle has many terms to it though, it doesn't have to be off the top, if it is off the top, they'll say it / ask for it.. A freestyle is just a couple of rhymes that you can spit to any beat, even without a beat if you feel like it.
