Even legends like Snoop Dogg continue to learn and evolve. The hip-hop icon recently shared a humbling moment on Bootleg Kev’s podcast, recalling how he sought advice from Kendrick Lamar after watching one of his performances.
Snoop described being captivated by Kendrickโs Amazon-streamed show in Paris. โI was so f*ing intrigued with his showmanship and how he had his st together,โ Snoop said. โI hit Terrace Martin and asked for K.Dotโs number. I called him and said, โMan, how the f**k did you do that show? What do I need to do to make my show like that?โโ
Kendrickโs response was simple yet impactful: โKeep doing the s**t you do.โ For Snoop, this brief exchange held profound insight. โIt was so much information in that small conversation,โ he said. โI ended up making my show even better. Thatโs me not having an ego and reaching out to someone younger, flyer, and doper than me.โ
This full-circle moment is especially meaningful given that Snoop Dogg passed the West Coast rap torch to Kendrick over a decade ago.
Their mutual respect underscores the value of mentorship and humility, even among the greatest in the game.
Kendrickโs influence continues to inspire, proving that growth and learning have no age limitโeven for hip-hop royalty.
