Singer Snoop Dogg needs a lot of weed and other things around to set the right ambience for him to write new tracks.
The rapper is currently busy re-branding himself as Snoop Lion and releasing a reggae album.
"To write rap I've got to smoke a lot of weed. I need some music, old music, R'n'B, hip hop, anything that's 1970s, 1980s, 1960s, something that's inspiring, then I've got to have a couple of females around for inspiration," femalefirst.co.uk quoted the 40-year-old as saying.
