Snoop Dogg Promotes Samsung Galaxy Indulge On MetroPCS
If you don't know everyone in the video you're about to watch, you might not get the depth. However, the smoothness of the 4G LTE connection is as apparent as the additional Gs in Snoops new name, thustly MetroPCS has done their job well. See Snoop Dogg (with a double dose of Gs,) Warren G, model Brittany Dailey, and Ted Williams – the man with the Golden Voice all work together to bring you The G Connection in promotion of MetroPCS and the Samsung Galaxy Indulge.
First, have a look at this video and tell us if you understand what's going on, or what you'd think if you saw such a thing on television right this second – keep in mind that this is brand new:
Now let's get down to business explaining the players in this masterpiece, each of them one by one:
Ted Williams, the man with the Golden Voice was only a few months ago completely homeless and broke. Have a look at his story here: [CNN report]
Warren G has never been broke, and in fact has been a player and a regulator for over 20 years. The G-Connection is his show in this promotion, and the "Regulators, mount up!" comes from his classic smooth rapping gangster hit: Regulate
Snoop Dogg started his career around the same time as Warren G, having been a partner of his at the time they both hooked up with Dr Dre launching them into superstardom. Snoop has an album called the Doggumentary coming out soon, thus this collaboration (with his type logo modified and in tact) makes perfect sense. Furthermore, his 2007 hit Sexual Seduction features a video style very similar to this new dating show promo.
ALSO there's an "Indulge with Snoop Dogggg" sweepstakes where you've gotta head out to your local metroPCS store to sign up and win. If you win, you get a VIP trip for two to a Snoop concert this summer – this includes airfare and incidentals for two, front-row tickets, backstage passes, and two Samsung Galaxy Indulge phones with metroPCS 4G LTE service. Sounds fine, real fine. Check out the full press release below:
NOTE more videos will be released throughout the day today (and we assume in the near future,) so stay tuned!
