Snoop Dogg Explains how 2Pac Took Him Aside & Helped Him Develop his "Pimp" Image

by HHL JT

When Snoop Dogg first met Pac, Snoop was dressing the same way he was before he became an international superstar.

Pac put an end to that.  During Snoop's stop on The 85 South Comedy Show Snoop explained how Pac took him aside and gave him a glow up. [Jump to 18 minutes.]

“I’m still dressing like a n*gga from the hood.  Khakis, Chucks. "That n*gga like, ‘Me and you finna have a meeting.  The little homies can't show up.  It's general to general. We stepping our game up. We gotta change your look, Snoop Dogg. You a pimp, n*gga. Bitches love you. You fly. You gotta start showing your fly side. ‘I'm going get you suited up.’ ‘I’m going call this nigga Dion Scott, get your suits fitted and all that, get your hair laid, get your nails done, n*gga Put some pimpin’ on screen, n*gga.'

“He dressed me up in suits, Louis Vuitton, Gucci.  Shit I couldn’t even spell or pronounce.  All this Italian sh*t. Just look at how I’m standing next to cuz when I’m wearing it. I’m trying to figure it ou>! I’m like, ‘Do I look right? I hope I don’t look sweet because these pants tight as a muthf*cka.’ So whit  a minute. Once I got comfortable with it, then it was like, ‘OK, this n*gga’s teaching me how to be a star.’ Like, levels and layers. ‘We know you gangsta, dog, but can you go higher than that?"

In addition to remaking his image, Pac gave Snoop his first blunt.

The rest is history.
