Snoop Dogg’s “Vato” Advocates Black/Brown Unity
This November will see rap veteran Snoop Dogg drop his highly anticipated eighth solo album through his Doggystyle/Geffen imprint. Tha Blue Carpet Treatment features the Pharrell-produced B-Real collaboration “Vato,” the video of which will spearhead the Black/Brown Unity Movement.
Playing like a short film, the clip stars the Doggfather as an O.G. and B Real as a Latino gang member, and speaks on the need for unity between African and Latino Americans in the wake of recent, and incredible, violence in Los Angeles.
“It’s about time we start to fight for each other rather than fighting against each other,” said Snoop Dogg. “I have homies from all cultural backgrounds and love all of my brothers, black and brown. There is nothing that can stop us from creating a better future for ourselves, for our families and generations to come if we all came together.”
The world premiere of “Vato” will make its video debut on August 30th on “BET’s Access Granted.” In the meantime… we like this joint that takes you back to Snoop’s grimey old-school sound. If you haven’t yet, check “Vato” here and tell us what you think.
