SUNDAY

Snoop Dogg at Hampton Beach Casino Ballroom
The true artistic chameleon of our time, Snoopzilla (seriously) née Snoop Lion, née Snoop Dogg — which is what we will continue to call him, ’cause, c’mon — takes the stage at Hampton Beach to wrap up this long holiday weekend right. Say what you will about the man’s identity crisis – his Grammy-nominated album, Reincarnated, proves that he’s still the dopest (and dopiest, probably) rapper on Plizzanet Earth.
