Snoop Dogg Considered Michael Jackson "Family"

Andy Cohen: Were you and Michael Jackson, did you guys overlap at all?

Snoop Dogg: Me and Mike was family. His family and my family love each other. We have a record that never came out together. We never had issues. Only issue me and Mike had was we was at, what was that thing? Ed Hardy, Christian Audigier. He had an event in Vegas, like when they have all the clothes and all of that, so he had performers. He had Michael Jackson perform, Snoop Dogg perform, but where he messed up, he put Michael Jackson dressing room right next to Snoop Dogg, so Snoop Dogg is there doing this.

Andy Cohen: I think I know where this is going as he lights up.

Snoop Dogg: Mm-hmm, and they like, "You know, Michael Jackson's dressing room is next door." I'm like, "No it ain't." They like, "Yeah, there," so I'm like, "Hold on." Open the door.

Andy Cohen: Oh wow. You blew a bunch in.

Snoop Dogg: Yeah. He's right there looking at me.

Andy Cohen: Oh boy. He didn't like it.

Snoop Dogg: He said, "Snoop, don't do that."

Andy Cohen: But dude, what's with this unreleased song? Who has the masters?

Snoop Dogg: I gotta find out. It's a record that was done for some sort of, you know, he did records for the world. It was like some peaceful, a whole lot of artists on it record. He called me one night and it was crazy because the way his voice came through the phone, he was like, "Snoop, it's Mike. I have this song I want you to get on." I'm like, "Man, anything you want, Mike. It ain't no problem. Talk to me." Then, after we got past the song, he was like, "My mom always said that you look like someone in my family. I think we're related."

Andy Cohen: Michael Jackson. So, you went in, you laid down the track and then you never heard anything more about it?

Snoop Dogg: Nope.

Andy Cohen: Wow.

Snoop Dogg: I think I can find out who got it though. I think I can track it down and figure out who has it.

Andy Cohen: I mean, I kind of think you should.

Snoop Dogg: I kind of want to hear it.

Andy Cohen: Yeah. I kind of want to hear it too. I think we're not the only ones who want to hear it.

Snoop Dogg Calls Super Bowl Halftime Show Reaching "The Pinnacle"

Andy Cohen: Speaking of you and football, man, was that halftime show entertaining? Was that a great day for you?

Snoop Dogg: Probably one of the greatest days of my life to be able to be-

Andy Cohen: Is that right?

Snoop Dogg: Yeah, man. First of all, I'm a football fan and for the NFL to open their arms to hip-hop and then let us perform in LA, Rams win the Super Bowl, we have a great performance, the whole world sees it. It's the pinnacle of our careers as far as me and Dre. You know what I'm saying? Everybody else is a part of it as well, but I'm just saying me and Dre because we started from a certain place and to get to the mountaintop to celebrate that with him and the whole world, it felt good.

Andy Cohen: Yeah. Are you looking forward to Usher this year in the Super Bowl?

Snoop Dogg: Yeah. Usher's a good friend of mine. He's a family member. We family, so I'm really excited about what he's going to do because he's an amazing performer, dancer, singer. He looks good and he's got great records, so I'm loving the fact that the NFL is opening up to more music that is appealing to the globe rather than sitting to a section of music. Open it up because some of these artists have records that the whole world can't live without, so it's about time.

Andy Cohen: That's right. Well said. 

Snoop Dogg & Andy Cohen on Kandi Burruss in 'The Underdoggs'

Andy Cohen: Kandi Burruss is in the movie. She plays a judge.

Snoop Dogg: Yes.

Andy Cohen: And is a staple of "Real Housewives All Stars." Did you know Kandi prior to the project?

Snoop Dogg: That's my homegirl. I reached out to her personally and asked her to be in the movie.

Andy Cohen: Is that right?

Snoop Dogg: Yeah, because I knew we were shooting in Atlanta and I knew she lived there, and then I knew she was a great actor and at the same time, the role requires somebody that was like her that could be classy and have hood, you know what I'm saying? She was a class act, like she was amazing for the role. When she got the role, she only had the script for a week and a half, and then Kandi came and I was like, "Kandi, let's make a song. Give us a song for the movie." She gave me a song and the whole nine, so it's like, I just love her spirit, how she work, how she get down, and it was an honor to work with her.

Andy Cohen: How do you know her? From when?

Snoop Dogg: Atlanta. Writing songs, being in the music scene, being in the mix. I've been in Atlanta nearly my whole career, so I've run across a lot of people and established relationships with 'em whether it's music, TV, film, whatever it is and I'm a cool guy, so if I like you and I see what you doing and I'm a fan of what you doing, I don't have no problem coming to tell you, trying to build a relationship with you, trying to figure out how we can do some things together.
