From the 2010 EP “Furlough Jam” comes this cover of Dr. Dre & Snoop Dogg with a reggae twist. Recorded on a whim during the dog days of the Great Recession, when I had plenty of time and not enough money. A little over a year after this (and an alternate cut called “Dub Thang”) came out, Snoop Dogg becomes Snoop Lion and enthusiastically records reggae music. Coincidence? Most likely. But it’s nice to imagine that somehow Mr. Snoop Dogg was inspired by this cut.
