Snoop Dogg’s advice for standup comedians (as told to Katt Williams in The Pimp Chronicles):
Before you step on stage tonight, you got to go up there with the spirit, with the spirit of the late, great Redd Foxx. The spirit of Richard Pryor. The spirit of telling it like it is and not like it was. You dig? And only you can do what you do. That’s why you’re doing what you doing. And you’re doing it so flamboyant and so fly. And I’m watching from afar, but then again, I feel like I’m so near and I’m so close at the same time. And as I start to watch you and develop a keen sense of loving what you do and how you do what you’re doing, Katt, stay hard in the yard. Don’t play; put some paint where it ain’t. Don’t be nervous, be at their service. Give them what they want, give them want they need, man. I want you to fly to the moon, young man. I’ma go up to the stars, and I want you to meet me there. Yeah.
