Snoop Dogg & Wiz Khalifa登上最新一期的Rollingout杂志封面，下面是部分采访：

It’s not unusual for hip-hop fans to get excited when two top-notch rappers collaborate. What makes this connection special?

Snoop Dogg: It’s organic. It’s not forced. No one called Wiz and told him to do it and no one called me and made me do it. We did it because we felt like it was the right thing to do. It was the fans who embraced it as something that we’re suppose to be doing. We both know [there’s] a natural connection.

There has to be a mutual respect to bring both of the camps together. How are you guys inspired by each other?

Wiz Khalifa: Snoop’s work ethic. He continues to always work. People always talk about rap legends and give them accolades. Snoop is still going and he’s the only artists still going hard. He keeps it like that. No one is making it happen for him or telling him to do that. It’s him doing that and staying consistent.

Snoop: I’m inspired by Wiz’s spirit. He makes everyone feel as if they are a part of his situation. He has the right mind to lead. He leads with precision. To know that you’re a leader, you have to give them something to follow. He takes his time with what he does. He had my entire house in love with him. My family was excited that we were working together from day one.

What’s the greatest thing about hip-hop?

Wiz: Hip-hop is about making something out of nothing. I’m a regular kid who rode the bus and went to school. I don’t have any rich family members. I didn’t have any connection to the industry. Through my passion, I was able to take the most minimal of resources and build an empire. To be able to touch people across the world and have people who understand your struggle — it comes from the smallest things. You don’t have to be in the biggest studio. It’s usually what you do by yourself and with the least of things that makes it always workout. That’s the best thing about hip-hop.

Snoop: [The] greatest thing about hip-hop is that you can treat it like a plant and grow it. You can take a seed and put it in the ground and you can water it. It can have your flavor, your style, your demeanor, and your look. It can be catered to you. Whether people love or hate it, it’s alright. That’s what hip-hop does. It makes people uncomfortable. At the same time, it puts people in the right space when they do it the right way. It’s a seed that can grow, and it’s all yours.
