Receiving a Death Row chain from the one and only Snoop Dogg is the highest honor, one that plenty of celebrities and notable colleagues have had the pleasure of experiencing. Add Matthew McConaughey onto that list, who recently showed off his new pendant to his son, and their excited reactions speak volumes. "Snoop, I mean, are you reading my mail or am I reading yours?" the actor asked in front of one of Tha Doggfather's framed records in the clip below. The two are great friends and co-stars of the 2019 stoner comedy The Beach Bum, for which they had many stories to share.
However, not every celebrity's interaction with Snoop Dogg external to hip-hop is as wholesome, but he seems to take it in stride all the same. For example, he said that he loved the way that Luka Dončić talked trash to him (well, technically, the person sitting behind him) during Game 5 of the Dallas Mavericks versus the Minnesota Timberwolves in the NBA Eastern Conference Finals on Thursday (May 30). Luka and Kyrie Irving's Mavs ended up taking the game, and thus, the series. No matter who the superstar was speaking to, the Long Beach icon was all for it.

Matthew McConaughey Flexes His Death Row Chain From Snoop Dogg To His Son
But if you didn't think that there was some crossover between the sports world and Death Row chains, then you'd be sorely mistaken with Snoop Dogg's game. Last year, Skip Bayless of the Undisputed sports talk show flexed some Death Row chains that the rapper gave him and his former co-host Shannon Sharpe. There's plenty of love to go around for fans of the label and collective, and coming from Snoop, it carries a different kind of weight. After all, it's not just the shiny jewelry that can hang heavy on your neck, but the legacy and approval of one of hip-hop's most iconic and enduring movements.
Sure, there's plenty of controversy behind Death Row Records, but Snoop Dogg is doing a lot these days music-wise to bring the sunnier days back. We'll see what the future holds for Death Row and the D-O-double-G, and whether Matthew McConaughey does anything special with his new ice. There will surely be another bestowed chain to talk about soon. That's just the Snoop way of giving back and making sure you look nice for the next photo op you get with him.
