Classified Ad: Extras needed for Snoop Dogg/Classified video
Earlier this week, Classified released his new jam, “No Pressure,” with a sick feature from Mr. One-Eight-Seven himself, Snoop Dogg. The original dee-oh-double-gee references Scotia and it’s tight to hear those words out of his mouth, TBH.

Snoop on film
Snoop does what he does best: play Snoop. Here’s one of two cameo appearances on Entourage. Really though, even when he changes names and characters (Murderess on Monk, Slim Daddy on The L Word), he’s Snoop. And that’s what we want.
