"When I'm not longer rapping, I want to open up an ice cream parlor and call myself Scoop Dogg"
About this Quote
"Scoop Dogg" lands because it’s a flawless compression of brand logic. The rhyme-adjacent wordplay keeps the Snoop name intact while translating it into a family-friendly, consumer product you can literally taste. He’s winking at his own commodification - the way a rapper becomes a logo, a voice cameo, a meme, a lifestyle aisle. And he’s also reclaiming it: if the culture is going to turn him into a product, he’ll choose the product, the tone, the joke.
There’s subtext in the sweetness, too. Snoop’s career has long been a negotiation between outlaw aura and mass-market likability, from gangsta-rap notoriety to television grandpa energy. An ice cream parlor is the cleanest possible image: neighborhood, nostalgic, disarming. The line imagines a future where legacy isn’t a marble statue but a storefront - still public, still performative, just softer around the edges. It’s not an exit plan so much as an expansion pack.
