[police officer, on radio]

9-3 and 3-0-8.

13-03's behind the unit.

[police officer 2] 13-43. Stopping

the vehicle, Central and 40th Place.

[police sirens blaring]

[helicopter]

[Snoop Dogg] We got involved

with all of the wrong sh*t.

Gang-bangin', sellin' drugs,

shootin', gettin' shot at,

watchin'

the homies go to jail.

I mean, all of the above.

I was like, "Look, man,

we can't keep doin' this.

You know, you goin' to jail,

me goin' to jail.

We got to let

all this stuff go, man,

and just be some squares."

My theory was if we did that,

we would get blessed.

[photographers shouting]

I don't know what made me call

my brother Dre.

I just called him, like,

"Man, what's up?" you know.

Just to say hi.

And he was just like,

"Sh*t, come up to

this bachelor party we havin'."

So I was like, "All right."

[2Pac] California

knows how to party

California knows

How to party

In the city of L.A.

In the city

Of good ol' Watts

I was getting married.

Dr. Dre was my best man.

We had a few guys

come over to the party.

My last night of freedom,

Warren G being one of them,

and, uh, the DJ

ran out of music,

so Warren presented me

with his demo tape at the time,

and we popped it in, played it,

heads went to bobbin'.

Of course, Dre wanted to know,

"Who was that?"

and I told him, "That's 213."

[Warren G] And I was like,

"Snoop, I seen Dre

and I played

some of our music,

and he liked it, man."

Snoop was like,

"F*** that sh*t,"

boom, hang the phone up.

[Snoop Dogg] Warren G was always

pushin' to get Dre to hear me.

Whenever Dre would come by for

a family function or a holiday,

Warren G was like "Snoopy, rap.

Snoopy can rap."

He's like, "Oh, okay."

And I'm like, "Okay,

he ain't payin' no attention."

[Ice T] Snoop was exactly

what Dre needed at that time.

Eazy had gone this way,

Cube had gone that way,

Dre needed a rapper.

So I called him again.

I said, "Snoop, please, look,

Dre want us to come

to studio on Monday."

And it just was like,

"You know what?

We gonna go see Dre,

see what he talkin' 'bout."

And we went to go see him,

we never came back.

[funk music playing]

One thing about music,

it always has a forefather,

and it always has a generation

that takes it to the next level.

G-Funk, to me,

is the extension of P-Funk.

P-Funk was created by George

Clinton of the Parliament.

P-Funk is the combination

of all the eras of funk

that we've done.

Parliament started in

the fifties as a doo-wop group,

came through Motown,

then we started doing

the psychedelic

Jimi Hendrix thing

with Funkadelic,

and then we got horns

and all that mixed together

and we called it P-Funk.
