What’s Snoop Dogg’s favorite weather?
Drizzle!
In classic works of art, rainfall is often used to symbolize a moment of cleansing, where the sins of the subject/protagonist are washed away. A heavy storm could suggest a desperate struggle or an especially arduous time in one’s life that will end with the subject cleansed and stronger as a result. Light rain, or “drizzle”, may serve as a period of transition, a moment of calm before or after a strenuous event.
Common lyrical themes in Snoop Dogg’s music include explorations of his life at the top (Doggfather, Boss’ Life), his quest to establish identity (What’s My Name?, What’s My Name? II), and perhaps most importantly, his understanding that struggles in life are inevitable (Gin and Juice, Ups & Downs). Snoop Dogg’s purported love of drizzle in the joke casts him as a man with a strong appreciation for the transitions between the good times and the bad. He knows that struggles will eventually come to an end, and he will be a stronger person for it. Furthermore, while he enjoys good times, he is always mindful that tough times, like nature, are unavoidable.
After all, although he may be “rollin’ down the street, smokin’ endo, sippin on gin and juice,” he still has “[his] mind on [his] money and [his] money on [his] mind.”
That’s enough for tonight, I’m leaving.
