Snoop Dogg x Forbes. All these recent interviews of hip-hop stars on money and business related news shows just proves my point that the hip-hop artist is transitioning more and more into the hip-hop business man within pop culture and using music as the leverage point. In this interview with Forbes Snoop gives insight on how to start and maintain a small business.

Snoop is no stranger to small business as he has started everything from a dog clothing line, human clothing line, porn video company, film company, grocery store concept and probably fifty more businesses that we don’t know about. Oh and of course he is running Priority Records now for EMI Music Group…which hopefully will be big business for the Dogg Father.
