Snoop Dogg has been enjoying his time in Scotland so far and was seen vibing to some bagpipes right after getting off his flight.
The Death Row Records leader touched down in the European country on Thursday (March 16) as part of his re-scheduled I Wanna Thank Me arena tour that was meant to finally go down last year after suffering a string of COVID delays.

The European dates were again canceled at the last minute due to “unforeseen scheduling conflicts including family obligations and upcoming tv and film projects.”
In the video, Snoop can be seen nearly crip walking on the tarmac as the bagpipe player loosely plays the melody to “Still D.R.E.” Towards the end of the clip, Snoop throws the player a thumbs up for the effort before departing in a sprinter van, which causes the bagpipe player to burst out in a smile.
The tour — which will see Snoop head to Denmark next before taking on London’s O2 arena on March 21 — has also included performances from Warren G, Tha Dogg Pound, Obie Trice and D12, with Xzibit set to make a special appearance during Snoop’s Scotland show this evening.
Snoop Dogg’s latest performances are especially exciting because Death Row Records’ iconic catalog returned to streaming on March 10.

The West Coast rap legend, who now owns the label, announced on March 9 that the Death Row discography would return to streaming services.
“We heard you. The time has come. Death Row Records catalog is back streaming everywhere tonight 9pm PST,” he wrote on Instagram next to a Death Row-themed video montage.
Hours later, Snoop commemorated the catalog’s return by sharing screenshots of Death Row’s collection on Apple Music. “We back,” he wrote in one post, while adding in another: “What u bumpin first ???”

The release comes a year after Snoop removed many of Death Row’s iconic albums from DSPs over money frustrations.
“Those platforms don’t pay,” Snoop explained on Drink Champs last April. “And those platforms get millions of millions of streams, and nobody gets paid other than the record labels.
Snoop originally acquired Death Row Records in February 2022, 30 years after joining the label as one of its rising stars. He purchased the company from MNRK Music Group (formerly eOne Music) for an undisclosed sum and sought to revitalize the legendary label.
“I am thrilled and appreciative of the opportunity to acquire the iconic and culturally significant Death Row Records brand, which has immense untapped future value,” Snoop said in a statement at the time.

“It feels good to have ownership of the label I was part of at the beginning of my career and as one of the founding members. This is an extremely meaningful moment for me.”
