If someone smokes weed with Snoop Dogg and doesn’t leave with an interesting story, did it even happen?
In the new one Rolling stone interview for the cover story, the “Gin and Juice” rapper recalled the time he was forced to gather some production skills after Pharrell Williams accidentally got too high in the studio, leaving Snoop alone with the legendary Stevie Wonder.
“I have so many [favorite studio sessions]. One that stands out to me is when me, Pharrell and Stevie Wonder were in the studio. We smoke. Us in a little room,” Snoop recalled, speaking with Latto for a chat. “Pharrell got high, he got secondhand smoke. Now Stevie in the booth and Pharrell not talking s—.”

Wonder didn’t know “what to do,” Snoop explained. “I say, ‘Pharrell, produce this p—-.’ This p—- is so high he leaves Stevie in the booth and doesn’t give him directions.”
Snoop wasn’t sure how to proceed. “I’m trying to tell Stevie what to do. I don’t know what the fuck to do. I’m not a producer,” he told the news outlet. “I told the p—-, ‘Just let anything go.’
Somehow the pair managed to record some useful footage. “When we finished, Pharrell took all the good s— that he was playing. Because he was playing harmonica, singing and s—, and it worked out in the end,” Snoop explained.

However, the rapper found it “ridiculous” that Williams – his “Drop It Like It’s Hot” collaborator – had never been bothered about his marijuana use before. “But today he finally got so high that he left Stevie in. They left the n—- in where he had to get out by himself,” Snoop added. “Shout my bitch, Stevie.”
Although Snoop didn’t clarify which song was created when Williams had to leave the studio room, the trio worked together on “California Roll” from his 2015 album. Bush. In the same year, he was interviewed for Guard.
“Listening to the song after I did my vocals, and after Pharrell’s vocals were set, I was like, ‘Man, P, we gotta get somebody else on this thing. We gotta get Stevie Wonder,'” Snoop said at the time. “P was like, ‘Can you have it?’ I said, ‘Sure. Hang on.’ I called him. Two hours later, Stevie Wonder pulled up outside the studio.”
