Behold: a new Snoop Dogg bop in which he acknowledges that he is super rich now, but assures us he’s still as legit as he was in his Long Beach days. Embellished by the stylings of fellow old-timer Swizz Beatz, we get that classic Snoop negative-space tension followed by a juicy, full hook, which is enough to suggest that the Doggfather has still got it. He’d better; his new album, I Wanna Thank Me, is coming out Friday. Until then, enjoy the Countdown.
“Smoke a pound when I move around, yeah / The world is my lounge chair / Real sharks turn guppies, y’all drowned here / When everyday to me is New Year’s Eve, Swizzy the countdown.”
Have you heard of “plogging” yet? Part-jogging and part-whatever-the-Swedish-word-is-for-“picking shit up,” it refers to the exercise of running around outside and collecting trash for sport. It’s been deemed a new “fitness craze” after some people with large instagram followings started posting about it, but it’s not clear whether it’s a real thing or if it’s just another irresistible elision like “linner” or “hangry.” Give it a try on your next staycation and find out.
To avoid the plastic six-pack ring that kills sea turtles, Corona is piloting a threaded beer can that you can twist together end-to-end with other cans, cutting out the need for a separate holder.

Now, we wait for the rollout in Rome.
