Snoop Dogg‘s mind-bending new “Last Dance With Mary Jane” music video arrived just in time for 4/20. Featuring guest Jelly Roll and a depiction of the late Tom Petty — the track samples a Petty and the Heartbreakers classic, “Mary Jane’s Last Dance” — the visual also includes Dr. Dre (who produced the song), the likenesses of Tupac Shakur and Bob Marley, and much more.
Off of Snoop’s Missionary album, the song is an ode to Snoop’s first and forever crush: “Mary Jane.”
“Don’t bother asking me to ever give my lady up/ Was about five years old taking my first puff/ It was love at first light, fell in love the first night,” he begins on the track.
Directed by Dave Meyers, the clip shows Snoop having a supposed last hurrah with his beloved marijuana after a visit with the doc, who’s just delivered some unfortunate news. “It’s my last dance with Mary Jane, one more time to kill the pain,” goes the chorus. But as Snoop says: “Even before the fame, she was my novocaine, you know it ain’t ‘gon change.”
“Last Dance With Mary Jane” brings Snoop on a dreamlike dive into his past and an imagined future. It’s quite the journey — one that includes Petty strumming and singing alongside the rapper, an untimely run-in with 2Pac in the afterworld, and an over-the-top, trippy appearance by Jelly Roll.
Earlier in the day, Snoop got a kick out of a festive “when 420 falls on Easter Sunday” meme of himself as the Easter Bunny, which he shared on X.
