Seriously, if DMX and Snoop dropped an album together I'd get it same day. Their voices and energy go together way better than I thought they would. 

This was the BEST #verzuzbattle yet! Thank you for this moment we all needed! Trophy"

    “Uncles” here is a reference for old Black men. “cutting up” dancing and otherwise acting a fool (particularly at family events such as bbqs.]

  2. Here's information about why Snoop is referred to as "Uncle Snoop"
    " You might be a little confused if you watch the 2014 BET Hip Hop Awards on Tuesday night. Why? Because it's being hosted by Uncle Snoop, aka Snoop Dogg. Wait, when did that happen? That's the name BET and most media outlets have been referring to the artist formerly known as Snoop Dog in the weeks leading up to the awards. In recent years, it's become a little difficult to fact check just what we should officially be calling the Dogfather. In 2012, after an eye-opening trip to Jamaica, Snoop Dogg was reincarnated as Snoop Lion; then in 2013, Snoop Lion declared himself Snoopzilla for a new funk-influenced album. But with all the confusion, I seem to have missed the next change to Uncle Snoop.

    There's simply never been any putting a pin in Snoop. He's a former pimp who married and raised a family with his high-school sweetheart. He's become one of the most successful rappers of all time and, as he's gotten older, he's balanced making new and interesting tracks, mentoring and supporting rising young artists, being the D.O.G.G. fans need him to be, hosting the BET Hip Hop Awards, and coaching high-school football. That's what makes him Uncle Snoop.

    Snoop didn't officially declare himself Uncle as he did with Snoop Lion or Snoopzilla; Uncle Snoop is simply the person Calvin Cordozar Broadus, Jr. has become as he's risen through the ranks of hip-hop. When he changed his name to Snoop Lion, he explained that many people in the rap industry call him Uncle Snoop. With his endless smiling, his soothing drawl, and his love for kids, Snoop Dogg probably became Uncle Snoop about the time he started being thought of as a mentor in the industry. The name comes most directly from him referring to young artists as "nephew."

    But through his many names, Snoop is still just Snoop."
