Watch Snoop Lion Battle His Album’s Producer in His Pokémon-Themed Music Video [Video]

Team Geekosystem doesn’t exactly wake up in the morning expecting to really enjoy a Snoop Dogg—sorry, Snoopzilla—sorry again, Snoop Lion—music video, but the “Red/Yellow/Green Version” Pokémon tribute and 8-bit look of his new one was a welcome surprise. Can we get a sequel where we see a Snoopzilla Pokémon?

The whole first half of the video is basically identical to the original Pokémon games, and the rest looks like an old school, side-scrolling shooter, so maybe we have more in common with Snoop than we thought.

• We were pretty psyched that he called himself Snoopzilla for funk
• Snoop has an app that sold a $100 weed sticker that people really bought
