What Snoop Dogg Song?

September 26, 2022 10:58 AM

There is a song in which Snoop Dogg rhymed punani* with salami in an epic work of lyrical art that will never be equaled. Tragically I cannot remember which song, and Google has almost no results. Can you name that tune?

*Am I spelling punani incorrectly? Is that the reason I can't Google this satisfactorily?

Best answer: That would be Fat Joe - Bet Ya Man Can't, verse 4.

I always thought it was "poonani" but maybe it's a personal choice!

Best answer: At about 2:30-2:38 is the verse

Bet Ya Man Can't (Triz) (feat. Big Punisher, Cuban Link & Triple Seis)

Wiktionary has it as 'punani'
From Jamaican Creole punani, from Akan oponaani. Possibly influenced by English poon (“vagina”) from French putain, or from Hawaiian Puanani (“beautiful flower”)

Response by poster: AMAZING. I knew y'all would come through. Thank you so much, but are we 100% sure there was not also a Snoop song because I really think there was...

I saw the following for "Soja" by CKay:

Punani wet like tsunami

Possibly? But no Snoop Dogg that I can think of

I don't know if "punani" is the correct spelling, but it's the spelling used by Sublime, so it's what I've always used.

For the overly lazy, a direct link to the youtube videos, just before the lines are said: Bet Ya Man @ 2:30 and Soja @ 1:21.
