Videos After The JumpIt's incredible looking back at the career of Snoop Dogg just how many hits he has. It could be argued that he is the best rapper ever from the West Coast.
The Doggfather performed a show in Anaheim,California recently. A portion of which was shown on Late Night With Carson Daly.
With help from Daz Dilinger and Kurupt of Tha Dogg Pound, Snoop did his thing on every rapper's favorite track right now "I Wanna Rock". Then killed it with a live band version of his classic "Gin and Juice"
Carson and Snoop then sat down for an interview.

Videos After The JumpBenzino recently resurfaced, taking shots at Royce Da 5'9 and Slaughterhouse. In a video shot by the former owner of The Source he addressed the beef and at the end of the clip showed a firearm.
Crooked I, 1/4 of the Slaughterhouse crew felt the need to get at Benzino to let him know he needs to either squash the bullsh*t or face the repercussions.
In Crooked's words
"We on the west coast we aint f*cking around, we not playing around. I'm doing this Slaughterhouse sh*t, that's what the f*ck i'm doing. N*gga if you respect me you gonna stop all that. If you don't it's gonna go where it's gotta go"
People may remember Benzino's beef with Eminem from a few years back. This latest drama seems to be an attempt by Benzino to jump back in the limelight and irritate Em at the same time by attacking Royce & Slaughterhouse. It's no secret they are in negotiations to join Shady Records.

Video After The JumpZoo Life General 40 Glocchas sat back, played his position, staying loyal to 50 Cent and G-Unit while others haven't.
In this interview with Street Treats HD he offers a very unique perspective on the whole Young Buck situation. From where 40 was sitting Buck started getting out of pocket way before 50 kicked him out of G-Unit. Buck even went as far as calling 40 to see if he could get him to be disloyal, but Glocc wasn't having it.
Ultimately, being from the west coast and having a gang mentality 40 feels Young Buck should have been disciplined (DP'd) and that might have set him straight.

Maybe the inmates really are running the asylum.
A correction officer has been disciplined for dozing on the job after a colleague snapped a picture of her asleep while on post at a Rikers Island infirmary, officials said yesterday.
A clearly conked-out Nadja Green is leaning in a chair with her head back, arms folded, eyes closed and mouth open.
But even more alarming is an amused inmate seen hovering above her, mere inches from a set of keys that hangs from her belt.
The picture was circulated around the department, and a source e-mailed it to The Post.
Green was transferred on the island and placed on modified duty watching female inmates. She will face charges of sleeping on the job and other security- and performance-related charges.
"We do not expect this type of behavior or performance from our officers, nor do we tolerate it," said city correction spokesman Steve Morello.
The officer who took the picture, Claudel Barrau, was also transferred and placed on modified duty.
Morello said possession and use of cellphones in jails, even by guards, is prohibited.
"They are only allowed to carry a cell into a property locker and not into jail proper," Morello said. "And not where inmates circulate. It's a basic and obvious regulation and this represents a breach."
Officials said the embarrassing photo was taken earlier this month in the prison's North Infirmary Command, formerly Rikers Island Hospital, which houses nearly 400 sick prisoners.
The facility includes a wing for AIDS patients, one for sex offenders and one for exceptionally violent inmates.
The disciplined officers will not be supervising inmates, according to officials.
Morello said the picture was brought to the attention of the department's senior management.
He said officials do not believe the sleeping officer was ever in any danger. There will be no charges against the inmate in the picture.
Green, who turned 30 yesterday, has been on the job 4½ years. She lives in Queens and could not be reached for comment.
Barrau, 47, has been on the job 18 years. When approached by a Post photographer at his Long Island home, he asked, "Why are you taking my picture?"
A prison source described Green as "the Precious of Corrections," a reference to the movie about a teen from a dysfunctional family.
A source said Green had a difficult upbringing and is the mother of several children. The source said she worked 96 hours of overtime this month.
A union official said prison authorities should avoid a rush to judgment.
"Many correction officers are forced to work 70 to 80 hours of mandatory overtime," said Correction Officer Benevolent Association spokesman Michael Skelly.
"Since we don't know the particular circumstances of that particular officer, we are not going to condemn her. She may have been sick.
"We believe it was highly suspect for the other officer to take a picture and potentially jeopardize her safety."

Tupac Shakur once rapped "Life as a celebrity aint everything they make it". Well nobody bothered to tell R&B crooner John Legend that as he celebrated his 31st birthday Monday night (December 28).
With his beautiful model girlfriend Christine Teigen on one arm. John partied at New York City's Simyone Lounge with fellow stars Estelle, Ludacris, Ryan Leslie and Consequence.
The Good Music artist was taking a brief break from his Evolver World Tour which runs through early 2010.
HotSusan Boyle
Boyle, a worldwide YouTube phenomenon, brought a whole new concept to modern celebrity: dowdy chic. With her unglamorous appearance contradicting her rapturous voice, Boyle reminded us of the power of inner beauty, and in the process managed to, at least for a while, outsell every shapely young thing on the planet. Boyle's debut racked up the biggest opening sales figure of the year: over 700,000 units, most of them on (gasp!) physical CD.
Maxwell
After nearly a decade in hiding, the Brooklyn-born R&B singer made the kind of point-perfect comeback that instantly compensated for all the time away. His album "BLACKsummers'night" went platinum, earning some of the most enraptured reviews of the year, bagging no fewer than six Grammy nominations in their wake.
Kings of Leon
They're the first new rock band to break through in far too long. In '09, this brash Nashville foursome enjoyed iTunes' most downloaded album, "Only by the Night." The band also racked up a slew of Grammy nominations for their song "Use Somebody," ensuring they'll become only hotter in 2010.
Taylor Swift
Not only did this Nashville star (who just turned 20) have the top-selling album of '09 (with a tally topping 4 million copies), she became a combination saint/victim when Kanye West tried to ruin her moment of triumph at the MTV Video Music Awards in September. To certify her resurrection, two months later, at the American Music Awards, Swift even beat the sanctified Michael Jackson for the top prize: Artist of the Year.
NotU2
They may have enjoyed the year's most attended tour. But U2's latest CD, "No Line on the Horizon," bombed with fans and became the worst-selling disk of their career.
J.Lo
Yes, she fell on her world-famous rump on the American Music Awards, but she quickly bounced back (literally, it seems) to survive one of pop's goofier, and most blabbed about, public gaffes.
Kanye West
Already a famously bad sport, Kanye crossed the line to genuine jerk-face in the fall when he grabbed the limelight from Taylor Swift during her MTV acceptance speech and insisted that Beyoncé's clip should have won instead. After that, even the impeccably measured President Obama hauled off and called Kanye a "jackass."
Whitney Houston
While the troubled singer's comeback CD has sold strongly (800,000 copies and counting), her interview on Oprah left a bad taste in the mouth, and her intended comeback appearance on "Good Morning America" live from Central Park! found her in scratchy and damaged voice, barely able to croak through four short numbers.
Chris Brown
The young R&B stud achieved genuine pariah status this year by perpetrating the ultimate no-no viciously beating his girlfriend Rihanna after a pre-Grammy party. Brown spent the rest of the year apologizing, but the damage had been done.

Rap giant Eminem is heading over to jolly old England to headline a concert that also features singer Pink on the bill.
That's not the biggest news however. For the first time I can remember Slim Shady has agreed to censor his lyrics to appease gay rights groups that might protest the show.
According to AllHipHop, Eminem agreed to perform at the 2010 Wireless Festival after he and the show's promoters agreed to terms on this issue. Activist group OutRage! has been successful in boycotting artists like Buju Banton and Beenie Man in the past. Em wanted to avoid any confrontation with them or similar gay rights groups while visiting the UK.
The show will take place at London's Hyde Park in July of 2010.
