Snoop Dogg Drops ‘Em & They’re All Hot In This ’70s & ’80s DJ Set (Video)

The same August 20 night that DJ Quik tore down a Los Angeles, California roller-disco party, Snoop Dogg jumped behind the wheels too. “DJ Snoopadelic,” with 7 Days comrade Dam-Funk in tow as well as Tha Dogg Pound’s Daz Dillinger, spun nearly an hour of relaxed, groovy joints.

Snoop used the old-school echo chamber on the mic, with a heavy handed role as Boiler Room/Ray-Ban party-starter. Rather than involve much Hip-Hop, as Snoop’s longtime homie and former Death Row family DJ Quik did, Tha Doggfather involves songs that closely fit the roller-rink theme.
