That Biggie one blew my goddam mind. The craziest part to me is that he’s rhyming over the Dogg Pound’s “New York, New York,” which was a diss to the East Coast. You think it was his idea? Kind of like, I’m bigger and better than you (making money on TV).

The 80’s was a sweet time. I remember the first time I saw Snoop and and Nate Dogg in the St. Ides commercial. Even the ads were better than a lot of what today’s artists put out.
WOW…I can’t believe these ads.
This might be my favoite post on Touch so far…
