Duuuude!
National Weed Day 2013 may have passed, but by some grace of astral alignment, it turns out that the same day Cheech and Chong were at Sirius' studios last week, another lover of the sticky-icky was on-site,promoting his new album.
Yep, Snoop Lion crossed paths with his smoky pop culture heroes, sitting in on part of their "Town Hall Fan Q&A" with Artie Lange to introduce himself.
Mostly, Snoop was humble in the presence of 420 greatness, declaring “I wanted to be Cheech & Chong when I was younger," and thanking them for "showing me the way" in his youth.
He also revealed the origin of his smoking habit, which he apparently picked up at the ripe old age of 9.
The former Dee-Oh-Double-Gee went on to discusshow marijuana helped him be “laid-back” when he first started rapping -- an artistic choice that did not go unnoticed by Cheech Marin.
“Snoop was the first one I heard to incorporate a melodic line in the rap,” said Marin, explaining why he couldn’t get down with rap artists like Public Enemy, and then segueing into an admirably off-key rendition of “Gin & Juice.”
