The rapper and a bevy of his animation-enhanced friends appear in the visual for his Missionary single
Snoop Dogg celebrates (and sometimes laments) his lifelong love affair with marijuana in the new video for “Last Dance With Mary Jane,” his song that features Tom Petty and Jelly Roll.
The song samples the Tom Petty classic “Mary Jane’s Last Dance” and so it’s no surprise that the late Petty also makes “appearances” along with his vocals and harmonica from his classic track being featured throughout the new video. The Dave Meyers-directed visual also features a number of Snoop’s famous pals — some via animated renderings — including Dr. Dre, Jelly Roll, Tupac Shakur, Bob Marley, Redman, Method Man, B-Real, and Wiz Khalifa.
The trippy clip, which also includes a good dose of Snoop’s trademark humor, is part love affair, part cautionary tale, and overall a WTF story of hallucinogenic proportions about marijuana’s lure that’s better watched than described. But suffice to say, Snoop gets a dire diagnosis, transports to a battleground set amid giant marijuana plants, gets cozy with a mammoth marijuana bud, dies and visits Tupac, Petty pops in throughout, and Jelly Roll appears in a prison yard, among other wild occurrences.
“Even before the fame, she was my Novocaine,” Snoop raps about his love of marijuana, as he trades his lines on the chorus with “Mary Jane’s Last Dance” lyrics sung by Petty. “You know it ain’t gonna change.”
“Last Dance With Mary Jane” appears on Snoop Dogg’s Missionary, his first full-length collaboration with Dr. Dre since Doggystyle.
