@ProductHunt@snoopdogg Hey Snoop! What I'm wondering, is if I'm to best support you, should I purchase your album on iTunes? Or should I listen on Spotify / Beats / Rdio or something like that?
I'm mostly curious if you have a preference as an artist, or just prefer people to listen to it in a legal way.
@ProductHunt@ow Listening 2 the music and spreading the message is the support we need. Buying it off of iTunes/amazon etc or getting the actual record in stores is always the ultimate reward for the artist.
Yessss, today’s playlist is set.
@snoopdogg - I actually have a tech-related question. You (and your team) are investing in companies like reddit, Philz (nice choice), Robinhood, and others. Why?
@rrhoover because we have a passion for new technology, love business and and have found that we have the power to help companies grow when there is a true collaboration there. If you look at tha companies that we support you will realize that they authentic to the Snoop Dogg brand. We can't fake it, it has to be authentic. At the end of the day you gotta be in it 2 win it Jacc!
@ryanhoover@snoopdogg Snoop's embracing of new tech, particularly as a major label artist, is refreshing, and could possibly set a larger trend. No reason that other independently-minded major artists like Radiohead or Nine Inch Nails might not also explore sites like Product Hunt for album releases.
PH actually provides a temperate avenue for them, sitting nicely far enough away from traditional avenues to allow for new possibilities, but not so close to the indie level that these artists risk steamrolling their independent peers. Could provide a scenario in which they win more than they would on iTunes, but don't have to feel as though they're bullying smaller independent artists.
@ryanhoover@adammarx13 The artist who can put it all out in one app. That is going to happen soon. Its been tried but the tech and the innovation is about to fall inline with the art.
@ryanhoover@snoopdogg@adammarx13 Ok but I think it should be in a different category don't you think? It's not so per se a product or service right? I think it would dilute the whole thing. I mean if this starts to become a promotional tool for artists it defeats its original purpose I suppose... and then become like myspace, a promotion tool that turns wrong.
@eriktorenberg trust the advice of people who have been in tha game 4 longer than me. love the founders. my team hasn't messed with anyone we don't get a good vibe from. Study. Study. Study. Im learning new things in this world everyday I got my lingo but the math lingo is a whole new game.
ok i think im about to be out like a paper route. maybe ill be bacc later or maybe ill be off on a safari.
many thanks to tha homies at product hunt and to all of you beautiful and smart people for stopping thru.
always remember if you see me smoking don't be afraid to ask to partake.
Peace Love and Soul.

@snoopdogg Cheers Snoop!
Keen to see the development of the tech-enabled marijuana space. Think there is ample room for big developments there, will be interested to see
The king is here! Just want to say I'm a big fan since way back in the day, Glad to see you investing in tech companies and would love to get your opinion on my music discovery site: www.musicroamer.com!
@snoopdogg Thank you!! It was a side project about 8 years ago. I wanted a new way to discover music and it's still a work in progress. I want to enable people to enjoy the process of finding new music and make it as easy as possible at the same time. Can't wait to listen to the new album!
@snoopdogg@hazzajay Glad to hear! We're just using data from last.fm's API for now. The goal will ultimately be to start providing smarter recommendations using machine learning.
Hi @SnoopDogg. Two questions, also thanks for noticing me.
1) Can I call you Uncle Snoop?
2) Can we smoke about 10 blunts together very soon?
Also you have one of the best riders in the music industry (at least from 5 years ago when I worked in it). Looking forward to listening to your new album! :D
@snoopdogg Looking forward to listening to the album! In order of preference, what are your favourite bushes?
- George W. Bush
- BUSH the album
- Kate Bush
- Bush the British consumer electronics brand
Snoooooooooooooooooooop! If you knew what you know now about business and tech but didn't have the fame nor the cash-flow you do now, do you think you would start your own start up? If so, what do you think you would try to sell? @snoopdogg
@SnoopDogg I was impressed that Nick came to a tech startup event in March and did a Q&A with the ProductHunt guys.
We are on the verge of releasing a product that will let passionate fans follow the creation story of products they love. I spoke with G-Eazy at that same event and he said he wouldn't want to "take people through the kitchen before serving them dinner", but I feel like that's exactly what fans want.
There's an interesting story behind what drives you to create and share your ideas and music. What is your opinion on this? What does a "fan" look like to you in 5 years?
@SnoopDogg@schnelle I wanna see tha product. The fan of the future is immersive. I can't predict exactly what they will do but I know that they will live in the media. its how I try to connect with them now. my music floats across all the platforms. Video, live chat, DJ in the club. Im everywhere or my brand is. I dont mind giving them breakfast long as they stick around for dinner. unless its one of those ladies you just want to see go home.
@snoopdogg Wonderful :) I will reach out to you and @nickyads soon and get you on the beta app. I appreciate you and your willingness to take the time to talk with all of us.
Hey @snoopdogg, I'll make my question short and sweet:
What advice would you give to your 21 year old self if you could meet him today?
Thanks for your time, and your music.
AJ
Snoop! Just listened to "R U A FREAK" on my way to work from Spotify's playlist, "New Music Tuesday."
1) What's your fav track on the new album?
2) What messaging apps do you use on the daily?
3) What product from Product Hunt would you highly recommend the community get into?
@cattrestini glad 2 hear that!
1. Hard to pic a favorite. That changes and they all mean sumthin different to me. REally feelin California Roll right now.
2. I dont use the basic chat apps. Instagram is how i chat with tha people, I run that hahah. Been talking to them live Meerkat! Been showing my pretty face on Shots app.
3. I would rec that the PH community try out NOWL. https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/... luv what these guys are doing.
@juanbuis ive always been into tech but the internet and social media help me show that to the people. when i used twitter and instagram the people saw the effect i had on these platforms and started to reach out to me. i mean most people know i invented instagram.
@snoopdogg you were one of the first celebrities to embrace the internet, new media and generation Z. I remember watching you in a Shaycarl vlog at Maker Studios yeeears ago! Mad respect. I hope we can chill when you're in Melbourne next.
