Imaginary Interview with Snoop Dogg about Real Show
()
LAist: Snoop we love you!
Snoop Dogg: I accept your love and return it back to you snoop-fold.
Bro, you're playing at the Henry Fonda Theatre next Tuesday the 26th with a live band for a BET Awards after party. And tickets haven't sold out yet. What's up with that?
Support for LAist comes from
Oh it's chill, my cousin. People sometimes need things to percolate before it strikes them that they can see Big Snoop Dogg live and in person right in Hollywood at a small club, with all the fly ladies, and pimps, and beautiful people. Sometimes people's minds just blow and they don't know, you know? But it's chilly-chill and I'm glad that there are some tickets still for my peeps keeping it real. Chuch!
OK its a BET after-party and so many people love you, and so many stars will be in town for the awards. Hell, Prince will be in Hollywood all summer it seems. Can we expect some special guests to make it on stage with you?
You never know who will make their way on stage to share the golden mic with Big Snoop. I've been blessed to appear on many a track with lots of artists, some of whom will indeed be in town next week, fo shizzle, my Negro.
One last question, how's the Snoop Football League going?
So glad you asked me that. Snoop Youth Football League is bigger and better than ever. In fact one dollar of each ticket sold is going to the Snoop League for the kids here in LA who will start practicing in just a few months.
Snoop Dogg at the Henry Fonda Music Box, Tuesday June 26, $50, get em while they last.

As Editor-in-Chief of our newsroom, I’m extremely proud of the work our top-notch journalists are doing here at LAist. We’re doing more hard-hitting watchdog journalism than ever before — powerful reporting on the economy, elections, climate and the homelessness crisis that is making a difference in your lives. At the same time, it’s never been more difficult to maintain a paywall-free, independent news source that informs, inspires, and engages everyone.
Simply put, we cannot do this essential work without your help. Federal funding for public media has been clawed back by Congress and that means LAist has lost $3.4 million in federal funding over the next two years. So we’re asking for your help. LAist has been there for you and we’re asking you to be here for us.
We rely on donations from readers like you to stay independent, which keeps our nonprofit newsroom strong and accountable to you.
No matter where you stand on the political spectrum, press freedom is at the core of keeping our nation free and fair. And as the landscape of free press changes, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust, but the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news from our community.
Please take action today to support your trusted source for local news with a donation that makes sense for your budget.
Thank you for your generous support and believing in independent news.
