Eminem and Snoop Dogg bear an uncanny resemblance to Bored Apes in the
new semi-animated music video titled From The D 2 The LBC.
It was only a year and a half ago that there appeared to be bad
feelings between Snoop Dogg and Eminem, both of whom are Dr. Dre's
proteges. Now, the legendary rappers have a new music video where they
are featured as Bored Apes.
Eminem tweeted
on June 24 that a new song called “From The D 2 The LBC” would be
released. The post included the song's single art, which was a comic
book style with two cartoon monkeys representing both Snoop Dogg
and Slim Shady and their connection to Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC). He
followed up swiftly with another tweet advertising the video.
The
two hip-hop legends have reunited to release a new music video for
their followers. This time, they've featured the Bored Ape Yacht Club
(BAYC), a nonfungible token (NFT) collection built on the Ethereum
blockchain.
Titled "From The D 2 The LBC," the new music video
shows Eminem and Snoop Dogg in animated characters of apes. It was
produced by 1st AMENDMENT and Young California, in collaboration with
the BAYC.
The song has the two of them shouting out their respective hometowns, Detroit and Long Beach, in its refrain:
“Put
your doobies high if you reside in 213, let’s see them blunts raised /
Whether you east side or west side of the 313, let’s see them guns
blaze.”
The video then shifts to Em and Snoop as they
perform their verses while morphing into animated, Bored Ape-style
avatars – the song was recently previewed live at Ape Fest 2022 by the
pair.

It
should be noted that Eminem and Snoop are already familiar with the
world of NFTs, having previously ventured into it. As reported by
Cointelegraph, Eminem, also known as Marshall Mathers III, purchased an NFT from OpenSea's NFT marketplace for $462,000 and became a member of the Bored Ape Yacht Club.
In April, Snoop Dogg was announced as a major investor in MoonPay,
an on- and off-ramp service, along with "industry VIPs" like Justin
Bieber, Bruce Willis and Ashton Kutcher. MoonPay has also teamed up with
Dogg's Death Row Records to create an NFT marketplace.
