"Hes funny decently self aware curious about things he doesnt know comes across as genuine & is unapologetically pro-American. True story: He headlined my venue at SXSW & had [--] $300+ bottles of champagne on his rider I had a little trouble getting on short notice. There was [--] left in his trailer with a tag that said RESERVED. I was packing it up with other stuff to send with his team as they were leaving & he stopped me. Gave me a big hug & said Oh no baby girl thats for you. You know how to do it right. Keep it cool & keep smilin. 1/ How did Snoop Dog become Americas beloved patriarch How did"
