Snoop Dogg Launches Marijuana-Based Digital Media Platform

The new platform was announced via TechCrunch, where you can read the full story:

Snoop Dogg, world-renowned entertainment icon and unofficial representative of all things weed, has been investing in tech products and platforms for the past year or so, with a particular focus on the cannabis industry. But today, Snoop is entering the tech sphere in a whole new way, with the launch of his very own platform called Merry Jane.

At its core, Merry Jane is a lifestyle media site with cannabis at the center. Loaded with both video content and editorial content, the site will serve as an information hub for everyone interested in pot, whether it be the n00b or the seasoned smoker.

Young Buck Fails A Drug Test; Hilariously Blames It On Snoop Dogg

He later gets real and puts the blame on himself, but this was a funny read regardless. From TMZ:

Young Buck couldn’t resist smoking weed with Snoop Dogg while on probation … and now the G-Unit rapper is facing more jail time for faking a mandatory drug test.

Buck literally got busted with his pants down according to a probation officer — who says he saw YB using a tube to shoot a “yellow substance” into his drug testing cup last week.

According to docs … he first tried to use the ol’ secondhand smoke excuse, but ultimately caved and admitted he’d gotten high with Snoop. Now, a judge will decide whether Buck has to do jail time for the violation.

Shame … Buck had been on a winning streak, pissing clean for his previous 21 mandatory tests since November 2013.
Bottom line? Snoop’s weed will mess you up. In multiple ways.

Stones Throw – Our Vinyl Weighs a Ton (Documentary B-Side)


28 minutes of uncut footage, outtakes, interviews and more on the “B-Sides” from Stones Throw’s Our Vinyl Weighs a Ton documentary which is a must watch. Oh and there is a Kanye West interview that starts at and comes back in at various points 21:44. I included some excerpts below.

Kanye- “It’s amazing: How could we lose Biggie, Pac, Dilla, Steve Jobs, Michael Jackson? It almost feels like the Devil’s winning,” West says. “We gotta make music and think, ‘If Dilla was alive, would he like this?’ I have to work on behalf of Dilla. When I put a weird-ass Jamaican sample, it works at first but it’s not until I put the [makes discordant musical noise] that it sounds like art or sounds slightly wrong. And now it’ll go to the radio now that it’s wrong, motherfucker. Now play this. Play this 5-minute song that completely fucks up your programming. The best respect that we can pay to great artists that have inspired us so much is to never sell out.”
