Snoop's 1967 Pontiac Parisienne is for "when he feelin' real Laker-ish," explains Bigg Slice, who takes care of the Doggfather's fleet of rides.
The hydraulics are controlled by purple and gold dashboard switches. And Snoop's old basketball number, 20, is stitched into the steering wheel. The car's also signed by Shaq, Michael Cooper and Jamal Wilkes—but not Magic. "We always forget," says Slice. "When you see him, it kind of slip your mind!"
"This car so famous, everywhere it goes it gets bothered. We had to tint the windows, but that didn't even help," says Slice. "Everybody love the Lakers, and if you a Snoop fan, you a Laker fan."
This 2005 Dodge van is a complete mobile studio, stocked with $150,000 worth of equipment, including a mixing board and a 42-inch plasma screen.
This ride is for: mixing business with pleasure. "Snoop wanted to have something that helped him incorporate his busy schedule with his family," says Slice. "This has everything he needed as far as his producing and all that, and still be able to have his family accompany him."
It's black outside, with black leather inside and a Superman-style S emblazoned on the front. The interior lights up blue when the doors are closed.
Snoop has a soft spot for his 1939 Chevrolet Fleetline. "It reminded him of the Al Capone days," says Slice. "The gangster days, the Roaring '20s."
This ride is for: museums. "He ain't really drove this one that much," says Slice. "It's been at the Petersen Automotive [Museum in Los Angeles] the whole time. We just got it back."
It still has the original right-hand drive and color. "Back in those days, they had a lot of style in the car, so we didn't do a lot of customizing to it," says Slice. "Just stayed gangster."
The 1974 Cadillac Coupe de Ville is green with real gold-leaf dragon lines outside, green leather inside, hydraulics and an eight-track player. The tinted windows "keep 'em guessing if he in here or not," says Slice.
This ride is for: not what you think! "Low-ridin' and Cadillacin'," says Slice, explaining that Snoop wanted the Caddy all green and gold to represent "the money and the honey."
The radio-controlled toy replica of the Sticky Icky, a big seller at Wal-Mart, is simply called Snoop de Ville.
The 1969 Buick Riviera's black with red dragon lines, 22-inch rims and a fly tag: Boogie's Blaccula.
Slice wanted to call it Black Sexy, but his six-year-old son, Boogie, picked the name after he "won" the car for acing a kindergarten reading competition.
This ride is for: Boogie! "He don't like nobody touching his car," says Slice. Unless it adds to his bank account, like when he rented it out for video appearances in "Vibe with a Pimp" by Tha Dogg Pound and "Ghetto" by Kelly Rowland.
The 1966 Cadillac Coupe de Ville is stylin' with real platinum dragon lines outside, chandeliers inside and mustard 'n' mayonnaise Vogue tires.
This ride is for: showboatin'. You can spot this one everywhere from the 405 to the "P.I.M.P." video. "We fight over this car," explains Bigg Slice. "Everyone likes to drive this one."
The chandeliers turn on when you open the car door. "That's what really gets people geeking," says Slice. "We used to put chandeliers in our car back in the day, and [Snoop] was just like, 'Man, you can't get chandeliers like we used to have 'em.' Two days later, we pulled up with this."
This 1952 Pontiac is mint-green outside, with crushed velvet drapes inside. "I have no idea why [it's called Annie Mae]," says Slice. "That's a mystery!"
This ride is for: admiring. Slice won't let Snoop drive it until they install power steering. "They didn't have tinted windows back in the day," says Slice, so Snoop relies on the velvet curtains for old-school privacy.
This is Snoop's fave car. "He kept it exactly the way he got it. It's all original," Slice says. "It had a history, and he just loves it the way it is."
It's a 1995 Ford Econoline 350. It's silver. It's bulletproof.
This ride is for: safety. "This ain't for comfort," as Slice puts it, but it does have a minifridge and television.
It's rarely driven, but it's in the garage...just in case.
