Hilarious synopsis of Gin and Juice

[Sweet Papa Crimbo]

THIS is pure genius.

 

The song begins with a sound effect of a human urinating, followed by an interlude in which an unknown male is speaking, denouncing one of his associates for either committing mater-sodomy in the immediate vicinity or for having bad breath, it remains unclear which. The unknown male requests some bubblegum, presumably to remedy the situation.

 

We are then introduced to the narrator, Snoop Dogg, as he discusses the exigencies of his life; his hometown of Long Beach, California, is very dramatic. He finds the will to create his unique musical style amidst all this drama, and does so daily. He then entreats the listener (affectionately called a “g”) to enjoy his tale in said musical style.

 

Mr Dogg's tale starts at 2 am in his home, where a party has been taking place and is continuing late into the night, because his mother is away. Women are copulating in his living room, presumably in a lesbian fashion, and intend to do so until 6 am, when they will leave. Mr. Dogg and his associates decide to join the sapphic women. Ever-prepared, they pull condoms out of their pockets before turning off the lights and shutting the doors behind them.

 

After making it clear that his regard for the females does not involve love, Snoop Dogg and his associates decide that the use of one ounce of marijuana would be a fitting tribute to the act and his regard of the situation and the women. Rather than go into details of what is taking place behind closed doors, he tells the listeners (affectionately called “motherfuckas”) to reminisce of revelry in general, preferably while bouncing.

 

The said revelry consists of the chorus line and the subject of the song title: cruising down the street, smoking marijuana, and sipping on gin and an unnamed juice. The unnamed juice is likely of citrus origin, though the properties of gin are agreeable to all fruit juices. It is possible that the previous scene, and the upcoming scenes, are projected memories of the narrators told in the present tense. Mr. Dogg then attempts a palindrome about his constant preoccupation with pecuniary matters.

 

In another memory, Snoop Dogg has procured a bottle of Seagrams brand gin, and is intent on consuming it himself, but his associates have worked up a thirst as well. They present their empty cups for Mr. Dogg to fill, but have not offered any payment for the alcohol. Mr. Dogg is angry at the prospect of sharing his alcoholic beverage without consideration, as these requests happen all too often. He acknowledges their requests, but reminds them that his needs come first.

 

Mr. Dogg quickly diffuses the situation by reminding the listener that he is very good at cultivating music that captivates his listeners. He wants to know, “Who listens to the words that I speak?” This is most likely a rhetorical question. We do not learn if he ever does share the Seagrams.

 

Mr. Dogg leaves the party with his beverage to the middle of the street, presumably because his house party has grown beyond the bounds of his yard. He meets a young lady named Sadie who had previously dated one of his associates. He flirts with the young lady, but does not expect physical contact because the weather has remained a sultry 80 degrees Fahrenheit. As she initiates physical contact with his testicles, the heat becomes too much. Snoop tells Sadie to get off of his scrotum and informs her she will not get further contact with that part of him. He says “at ease”, likely to calm down Sadie, but also in an attempt to relax all involved. Mr. Dogg then runs off to engage in an act of mobbing with his associates (affectionately called the “Dog Pound”) in order to cool off and feel a breeze. He urges all to do the same.

 

We return to the chorus narration, where Snoop Dogg continues to consume marijuana and gin and juice while cruising in a vehicle. He is still concerned about his financial situation, again stated palindromically.

 

The narrator then recalls a memory that happened later in the same day[4], presumably at the house party. His friend, Dr. Dre[5], pays Mr. Dogg a visit, presenting him with several bottles of Tanqueray brand gin and a very well-endowed joint of marijuana. The marijuana is of a strength colloquially described as lethal, as he cleverly alludes to through a reference to the bubonic plague[6]. The combination of drugs proves too intoxicating for Mr. Dogg, and he is forced to imbibe less vivaciously, but he refuses to stop altogether. Dr. Dre then introduces Mr. Dogg to some women who he has brought from a neighboring city in Los Angeles. Snoop Dogg makes his intents to bed (or cot) the women clear, but warns them beforehand that he does not intend to make them climax nor stay with them after copulation has occurred, because he does not love them. Women whom he does not love he refers to as “hoes”, the origin of which is unclear, but is in no way related to the garden tool.

 

The song ends with a repetition of the chorus one more time, where some spontaneous words are uttered after the title verse (a slang word phonetically spelled BEE-OTCH). Mr Dogg's mental preoccupation with money matters is restated multiple times, likely in attempt to finally make a palindrome, but never succeeding.

That's great.

This is fucking brilliant.

[Guest Speed Racer]

My only beef is the line: "Women whom he does not love he refers to as “hoes”, the origin of which is unclear" - I always thought it was pretty clear, no?

[PopTodd]

Reminds me of when Steve Allen (was it Steve Allen?) recited the lyrics to "Tutti Fruiti" as if it were poetry.

I was looking for the video of that, but cannot find it. Anyone?

[DrNo]

The same genius has previously struck on the wikipedia entries for Sir-Mix-A-Lot's "Baby Got Back" and Warren G's "Regulate."

I forwarded this to just about everyone I know this morning.

I didn't and still don't like the smarmy condenscending tone of this. This is a perfect example of the disdain that the adults had for the youth of america until the aforementioned youth popped them in the mouth in the 60's.

Eh, I'll settle for "kind of clever." A GENIUS wouldn't have left the "the origins of which are unclear" part in, since the origins ARE clear. A genius would have referenced the garden tool without leaving such a glaring error dangling.

Steve Allen is the ass who put Elvis in a tux and had him serenade a hound dog.

Steve Allen was one of the greatest comic geniuses of the 20th century. Of all time, actually.

Steve Allen was one of the greatest comic geniuses of the 20th century. Of all time, actually.

He very well may be, but being steeped in jazz, he loathed rock and roll. I'm sure Sullivan wasn't crazy about a lot of the young artists at the time, but he never put anybody in position to be embarassed. His camera cut Elvis off at the waist, but he let him perform in his normal way. I find Allen's attitude toward rock interesting, considering Allen's first tv gig was as an announcer for professional wrestling.

Anyways.... back on topic. The references were pretty good as well.

 

# ^ Some scholars debate that the sound effect could also be the pouring of the substance in the title of the song (gin and juice). Musicologists agree that either context effectively communicates the nature of the song and its meaning.

# ^ The choice of word “day” is not intended to be taken literally, as this does not fit the sequence of events. Rather, it was likely chosen for its rhyming quality with the brand of Gin that the doctor brings.

# ^ It is unknown what type of doctor Dre is. Some scholars believe it is a Doctorate of Philosophy, or PhD, in Player Hating Studies, as referenced in songs in the same musical genre.

# ^ Bubonic, in this context, is used as an adjective and is likely chosen because of its rhyming quality with the noun that follows, Chronic, a slang for marijuana

Odd note, since the dude (IIRC) actually announces that he's gotta piss like a motherfucker (or something) at the start of the song, before the sound starts.
