Hip-Hop Lives Here
When you talk about characters in hip-hop, few stand out as singularly and toweringly as Snoop Dogg. Known for doing just about anything and everything (but nothing as good as rapping), the Long Beach legend is a treasure trove of experience, insight, hilarity, and idiosyncrasy. Ask Nardwuar, who recently linked up with Snoop for their eleventh interview, and hopefully there’s over eleven more to come. During their conversation, the Cali MC recalled a friend of his that he hasn’t seen in a long time, but was with him through the thick and thin. That friend is none other than his… pet cockroach, hilariously named “Gooch.”
“Gooch used to live with me,” Snoop Dogg told the legendary interviewer, journalist, and musician. “In my apartment, I had a roach that we couldn’t kill. We tried to kill the motherf***er when we first moved in and he wouldn’t die, so we called him The Gooch. We used to leave food out for him and everything. I stayed in that apartment for like about six, seven months. Cuz’ grew to the size of about a whole dollar bill.”
Snoop Dogg & Nardwuar’s 11th Interview
Elsewhere in their talk, Nardwuar and Tha Doggfather reflected on their ten previous interviews, many of which are among the media star’s most iconic. In one of them, he presented Snoop Dogg with a long-lost copy of his film Smokefest, which he thought he would never find again. When The Human Serviette said he heard that Snoop gave it up for a garage sale, the 51-year-old said that his wife Shante sold it.
“She’d be all in my s**t,’ he remarked. ‘Whenever you’re having them little yard sales and s**t that’s when I’m, like, on the road. Right now they probably having one right now selling all this s**t I don’t know they selling. I just gotta act like I’m cool with it.” Despite these disagreements, the couple lives quite happily together. Recently, they posted some pictures celebrating their 26th wedding anniversary. Regardless, stay up to date on HNHH for more on Nardwuar and Snoop Dogg.

Charli xcx has said she would be willing to consider recording a James Bond theme, though she is doubtful it would ever come together due to her heavy use of AutoTune.
The Chains of Love artist recently worked on the soundtrack for the Margot Robbie led Wuthering Heights film and admitted she would not completely rule out contributing music to the famous spy franchise.
Speaking with Julia Cunningham on her SiriusXM show, Charli explained her hesitation. “I got to say, I don’t think that I am built for that.
“I think I probably sing with too much AutoTune to do a James Bond. Never say never. I’m open to it if they want to call me, which they won’t but, yeah. I think it might not be a fit, but that’s, well, yeah. It’s not going to happen now, is it? So amazing. I don’t know.”
Charli, who is currently promoting her mockumentary The Moment, has also shared that she is keen to take on more acting projects.
Talking to Extra, she said: “It’s amazing.
“I feel so inspired to be working in film, whether that be as an actor or a producer or doing the soundtrack.
“I just I feel like really passionate about working with directors who I think have a singular vision, and I feel so grateful that I’m a part of both of the projects.”
When asked whether she would like to continue acting in the future, Charli answered: “Yeah, I’d love to. I’d love to.”
Meanwhile, the singer has recently described herself as being “quite a volatile person”.
The pop star, who married drummer George Daniel in 2025, also spoke about how closely she connects with her character in The Moment.
While appearing at the Sundance Film Festival, Charli said: “I’m obviously quite related to my character, so I had a lot of inspiration to pull from.
“I would like to think I’m not as much of a nightmare as Charli in the film, but my real managers are in the audience and they probably know the true answer to that.”
She went on to note that her character goes through several “spiral moments” throughout the film and reflected on the similarities and differences between herself and the role.
The chart topping artist, who found massive success with her Brat album in 2024, added: “I have been there. I think I am, as an artist, quite a volatile person. And nice though. I am quite nice too. Right?”
