Before Snoop Dogg rocked more than 100,000 people at the MCG on AFL grand final day, he helped lay down a track at Warringa Park School.
The American rap legend paid a visit to students at the Cayleys Road Campus in Werribee South on Friday, September 26.
Principal Ashwini Sharma said Snoop Dogg wanted the visit to be private and was an utter gentleman with the students.
“It was electrifying, it was just amazing– he really connected to each individual,” she said.
“It is so important for these kids to have their voices heard and acknowledged by someone they looked up to.”
Snoop Dogg and the students collaborated on a track, with the man himself even leaving a line on the final cut.
“He actually finished the last verse for them,” Ms Sharma said.
“He said it was one of things that reminded him of his childhood– he was so genuine and so humble, it was really gratifying.
“This is a school for students with disabilities, but we work on their abilities.”
For music teacher Ben Butcher, it was the ultimate chance to introduce the crew to making music in the collaborative sense.
“I just want to give them experience of being a musician operating within the music scene,” he said.
“We always knew it was a long shot– and most times they never happen– but when they do it is awesome.
“It was really great for the students to see how he operates…. Every step of the way was just joyful and a pleasure.”
