You know what they say. The friends that smoke medical grade marijuana together…makes…lots of hip-hop…music together. Ok, so that’s not what they say, but today we discovered that “That Tree’ was far from the only Kid Cudi & Snoop Dogg collabo record out there. Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you “Do My Thing”, a slowly bouncing, Cudi-lead track that’s about, you guessed it, being higher than Neil Armstrong. Listen and download…
In honor of his Snoop Dogg’s upcoming show tonight (March 3) at San Francisco’s legendary venue The Fillmore, Snoop has connected with Bay Area shop Upper Playground and SF artist Jeremy Fish to create an exclusive and limited edition t-shirt that in true Snoop/Upper Playground/Fish style includes a Cadillac, dachshund and plenty of smoke. Luckily, RefinedHype’s managed to secure one of the highly coveted t-shirts for our readers (who loves ya?). See more for your chance to win…
When I saw that Snoop Dogg had teamed up with Kid Cudi for a new joint (pun intended) call “That Tree” at first I thought the pairing was a little crazy. The west coast’s ultimate laid back gangster with hipster beloved, experimental Cudi? What could these two possibly have in common. And then, about two seconds later, it hit me. Of course, weed.

Never one to let a trip to Mexico go to waste, Snoop Dogg and fellow west coast rider Kurupt decided to flip a recent trip to Cancun into a track and a video, a video so bad it makes “Tell Me What U Want” look like “Avatar”. I thought what happens in Cancun stays in Cancun. No? Damn. See more…
I don’t think anyone’s ever figured out exactly what DJ Khaled does, musically speaking, but for all his Tourrettes style yelling I have to give it up to the man, he does put together some impressive hip-hop rosters. his latest rap all-star squad is featured on his new single “All I Do is Win” and and includes T-Pain on the hook along with Luda, Ricky Ross and Snoop Dogg on the verses. Listen and download…
Snoop Dogg’s decided to double-up his recent “Malice in Wonderland” album and release a deluxe version called “More Malice” that will contain some brand new tracks and videos, like the Doggfather’s latest offering “Tell Me What You Want”, a video filled with weed and women (shocking, I know).

Apparently someone was feeling left out. After listening to Snoop invite Hova onto his smash single “I Wanna Rock” for the remix Ludacris has thrown the equivalent of a lyrical tantrum and decided he’d just invite himself to the party, hopping on the “G-Mix” for a remix to the remix. Frankly it’s only right that Luda busted down the door, but now we get to ask the inevitable question: whose verse is the best?
Seems like every rapper on the planet took a shot at going in over Snoop’s “I Wanna Rock”, so it’s only fitting that the Doggfather himself took another crack at that viciously dope beat, this time bringing in none other than Jay-Z for the “I Wanna Rock (Kings G-Mix)”. In addition to a new, g-ed up verse from Snoopy, Hova laces a verse of his own that’s heavily influenced by Rob Base and DJ EZ Rock’s classic “It Takes Two”. Listen and download…
“With so much drama goin down in the LBC it’s kinda hard being Snoop D-O-Double-G but I, somehow someway, keep comin up with funky ass shit like every single day.” Do I really have to say more? That’s what I thought. Snoop Dogg’s “Gin and Juice”, it really doesn’t get any better.
It’s hard to understate how revolutionary “Nothin but a G Thang” was when it dropped. Not only had America never heard rap like this before, but outside of L.A. no one had ever seen cars on three wheels or shots of the Compton streets. In retrospect, this was the video that truly put Snoop, Dre and the whole gangster rap movement on the radar of mainstream America. But enough talk, let’s get to the G-oscity. See more…
