Snoop Dogg made it clear just what he needs around to feel creative. The newly re-christened "Snoop Lion" is working on his first reggae album, and he revealed in a recent interview just how much marijuana and how many women he requires in his space.

So, even though he's on a new path, he's still the same ol' Snoop.

"To write rap I've got to smoke a lot of weed," Snoop said. "I need some music, old music, R'n'B, hip hop, anything that's 70s, 80s, 60s, something that's inspiring."

"Then I've got to have a couple of females around for inspiration," Snoop added.
