Snoop Dogg has said that the title of his new album ‘Coolaid’ was inspired by Beyonce’s ‘Lemonade’.

Speaking to Rolling Stone, he said: “I watched ‘Lemonade’ and was like, ‘Damn’. The music is dope, and the visuals are fly as fuck. But I don’t drink lemonade; I drink Kool-Aid”.

I think we can all empathise with the frustration of something being named after something you don’t use yourself. I always holiday on the light side of the moon, for example. So, much as I respect Pink Floyd, their album ‘The Dark Side Of The Moon’ doesn’t quite sit right with me.

“I decided to call my shit ‘Coolaid’, since I brought so much flavour to the game”, he continued. “I’m what they consider one of the coolest motherfuckers in hip hop and life in general”.

“I made a visual album too”, he added, throwing in information that might have been useful earlier in this conversation.

Then asked if he is worried about losing his gangsta rap reputation, he said: “Nah, because I ain’t nineteen no more. I don’t gangbang. You’re dealing with a grandfather, the uncle to the hip hop game. He’s made a full 360 from where he was to who he is – and that’s what we love about him. He’s a great example of what you can be”.

For clarity, that entire paragraph was related to Snoop Dogg.
