Snoop Dogg is the life of the party – especially at the Bbar Mitzvah.
In an interview for the edition of Musicians about musicians Rolling stoneSnoop, 52, opened up to rapper “Big Energy,” 24, about his decision to get “dirty” while performing at a bar mitzvah.
The pair talked about the gig business and how some gigs will pay more than others.
“You’re going to have opportunities where somebody’s going to book you for a wedding that’s going to pay you more than you’re going to get paid on stage,” Snoop Latto says, to which she replies, “Bar mitzvah money.”

Snoop then playfully recalls his own experience performing at a bar mitzvah.
“No, really. I did a bar mitzvah for some kids who were, like, five years old. I’m doing a radio version. They’re doing a mom—dirty version. So I’m like, ‘F— that, we’re going to get dirty,'” says about the experience.
Latto said the mantra “this game is 85 percent work, 15 percent talent” stuck with her.
“Nowadays it’s not about talent anymore. They move talent out of the way because they can make it overnight. That’s why when you really have talent, you should hone it. Study the greats before you to see how long it can stay,” Snoop Latto advised.

Snoop noted that he’s “probably” one of the few ’90s rappers “that’s still around” because of the business opportunities he’s chosen.
“So you have to be a smarter business woman and say, ‘OK, women are winning in the music industry right now.’ This is the first time for women [in] in the forefront,” the “Gin and Juice” performer told Latto.
He added: “You are the first era that actually dominated music. [But] you have to understand that this is where the bulls— come into play. They will make you fight each other. They forced us to do that. They didn’t want us to hold hands and say, ‘Hey, East Coast, West Coast, down south. I love your music.'”
