"Steel sharpens steel."

Snoop Dogg, the iconic rapper and Long Beach legend, has never shied away from sharing his life lessons and wisdom gathered over his illustrious career. In a recent Instagram post on Sunday, he shed light on a valuable insight he acquired – the significance of being the so-called "dumbest" person in one's circle. Snoop recounted a conversation he had with Parrish Smith, one half of the legendary hip-hop duo EPMD. Smith had shared an exchange he had with another rap pioneer, Ice-T, about the concept of "steel sharpening steel." This saying essentially conveys the idea that individuals grow stronger or better when they surround themselves with people who possess strength, knowledge, and skill.

“If you’re the smartest one in your circle, you’ve got a problem,” Smith said. Snoop responded with, “I want to be the dumbest one on my team. Because if I’m the dumbest one on the team, that means I got some bad muthaf**kas around me!” This exchange between Snoop Dogg and Parrish Smith highlights an essential aspect of personal and professional growth – the power of one's inner circle. Surrounding oneself with individuals who possess diverse talents, knowledge, and skills can be instrumental in achieving success and personal development.
