Hood Quotes

Snoop Dogg

Family, Time, Good

Why, Leader, Here

Money, Great, American

You know, I do music. If you look under the hood of the industry I'm in, it's all based on technology. From radio to phonographs to CDs, it's all technology. Microphones, reel-to-reels, cameras, editing, chips, it's all technology.

Pete Rose

Greatest, Game, Hard
