Which means I was blissfully unaware that this year marks the 30th anniversary of one of rap's most iconic collabs: 2 Of Amerikaz Most Wanted.
To mark this momentous milestone, wine brand Cali By Snoop has dropped (I think that means released) Kingz of Cali, a wine that is a personal tribute from Snoop Dogg to Tupac.
I'm reliably told that Australia has a deep love of West Coast hip-hop. And Kingz of Cali is a red blend that celebrates the history of two of hip-hop’s greatest superstars.
Along with the tribute featuring on the bottle, Snoop Dogg also stars in a homage film, where Mr Broadus reminisces on their experience together and pours a glass of wine in Tupac’s honour.
The film also features rare, archival behind-the-scenes footage from the music video for “2 of Amerikaz Most Wanted.”
“It’s hard to believe it’s been 30 years since Pac and I got together to make 2 of Amerikaz Most Wanted," says Mr Dogg. .
"Nobody did it like us, and I can’t think of a better way to honour his legacy than with a drink.”
Kingz of Cali was inspired by a time in Snoop and Tupac’s history where they came together as young artists.
The label design is inspired by a moment etched in hip-hop history at the 1996 VMA Awards, featuring Snoop Dogg and Tupac.
Here comes the hype:
“It’s been an absolute privilege to work with Snoop Dogg and the Tupac Estate to develop a wine celebrating this historic collaboration, and worthy of two of hip-hops greatest Icons,” said John Wardley, senior vice president of brand, innovation, and partnerships at Treasury Wine Estates.
“The “Cali by Snoop” range has always pushed the boundaries of traditional wine culture. We are proud to honour Tupac and Snoop's legacy with a truly unique wine.”
I'm not sure what makes it "truly unique". It is a shiraz-driven red blend from the US.
Kingz of Cali is available for an RRP of $18 at Dan Murphy’s and BWS stores. For more info see CaliBySnoop.com.
