Snoop Dogg's Keeps It Clean On His New 808-Heavy Track 'Let the Bass Go'

The former pimp plays "a slick-talking, slow-walking son of a snail" (his words), and has, of course, contributed a special song to the film's soundtrack: "Let the Bass Go."

The song, which plays over the end credits, sounds like it was lifted straight out of the late '80s. "It's something upbeat that everyone in the house can enjoy," Snoop told Rolling Stone. "I'm on my old-school rap style there: we took sounds from the Eighties like an 808 bass to give it that 'Planet Rock' and 'Going Back to Cali' feel. It was about paying homage, while at the same time taking the movie to the next level."

Listen to the new song at Rolling Stone.
