Snoop Dogg Recalls Taking Career Advice From Kendrick Lamar

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 Kendrick’s Amazon-streamed show in Paris. “I was so f*ing intrigued with his showmanship and how he had his st together,” Snoop said. “I hit Terrace Martin and asked for K.Dot’s number. I called him and said, ‘Man, how the f**k did you do that show? What do I need to do to make my show like that?’”

Kendrick’s response was simple yet impactful: “Keep doing the s**t you do.” For Snoop, this brief exchange held profound insight. “It was so much information in that small conversation,” he said. “I ended up making my show even better. That’s me not having an ego and reaching out to someone younger, flyer, and doper than me.”

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.

Kendrick’s influence continues to inspire, proving that growth and learning have no age limit—even for hip-hop royalty.
