Painting Process | Snoop Dogg Throwin Signs Language

Snoop Dogg Collage Painting by Borbay

Anyone who has listened to hip hop since the early 90’s probably has a complex set of feelings about Snoop Dogg, even if they don’t know it. It wasn’t until I threw down the paint that I realized this to be true. From the monster classic Gin and Juice, to the lesser known, dark tracks like my favorite I Can’t Swim, to some Huggy Bear, Old School cameo ish.

One thing remains true: it’s all about Snoop being Snoop. Sorry Manny.

Now, let’s see how Snoop came to be on my canvas with the help of the mans own words.
