Yesterday, on 4/20, DJ Whoo Kid brought in stoner god Tommy Chong, one-half of comedy duo Cheech & Chong, to his Whoolywood Shuffle radio show. Cheech & Chong's 1978 comedy "Up in Smoke" has cemented its place in hip-hop, inspiring Dr. Dre & Snoop Dogg's famed tour of the same name. Chong says the legacy of his stoner brand of comedy showed rappers like Dre & Snoop they "could be who they are."
As the marijuana industry is constantly evolving, so are Chong's own business moves. He now has his own personal strain in Colorado, as well as his "Smoke Swipes," to be used for by a judge who, after a quick smoke, doesn't wanna return to the courtroom smelling like a defendant.
Watch the full interview, and tune into The Whoolywood Shuffle every Saturday from 12pm-6pm and Sunday 10am-4pm on Shade 45.
