Photos: Snoop Dogg performing at The Wellmont Theatre on April 28

Wellmont Theatre, Montclair, NJ, April 28, 2011 – Had the chance to cover hip hop and, at this point, American pop culture icon Snoop Dogg this past Thursday at The Wellmont Theatre in Montclair, NJ.  Snoop was on his own schedule waiting until the end of the Lakers game to come out of his green […]
