Focus Features and Universal Pictures have released a new Piece by Piece clip, previewing the creation of the iconic Snoop Dogg and Pharrell song “Drop It Like It’s Hot.”
The new clip from the movie shows an interview with Snoop (in his LEGO form) as he describes the creation of the song. According to the legendary artist, he was looking for a hit record, and Pharrell says he came up with the beat for the song quickly. The song would obviously go on to become a major hit and give Snoop Dogg his first ever number one hit on the Billboard Hot 100.
