"I used to be a battle rapper before I got a record deal," Snoop says, "and I always had the attitude that y’all can’t fuck with me."
Snoop Dogg has a battle rapper's mentality when it comes to his younger Hip Hop competition.
He name-dropped Future, Migos and Drake in a Pigeons & Planes interview, but says "I don't know who is who when they doing that rap style, and I love them all."
"When I came out as a rapper, everyone had their own style," Snoop says. "If you sounded like someone else, that word was called biting. You biting my style, you biting my shit."
Tha Doggfather recalls his battle rap roots as the reason why he is confident in his skillset at age 43.
"Realistically, I come from the world of battle rap," he says. "I used to be a battle rapper before I got a record deal, and I always had the attitude that y’all can’t fuck with me, and that’s my attitude when I drop my record. Y’all can’t fuck with me.
"And that ain’t derogatory. That ain’t conceited. That ain’t negative. That’s just an energy of confidence of knowing that my shit don’t sound like yours. Right now it may not win. I may not be the most talked about when I come out, but when the dust clears, I’m still gonna be standing because that’s me, it’s not them."
