Said Snoop, a native of Long Beach who recently turned 50, of returning to STAPLES Center: "I'm excited to kick off my 3rd night in 3 years with the LA KINGS celebrating the release of my new album ALGORITHM. I can guarantee 12.9.21 is gonna be filled with non stop entertainment and good old fashioned Hockey. Kings are on a roll right now and I'm looking to bring another win to tha table that night. Don't meet me there, beat me there."
In 2020 the Kings gave out a Snoop Dogg Talking Bobblehead featuring many of his most memorable quotes from his initial visit to STAPLES Center which are detailed in this

ALGORITHM -- A major new project, 'Algorithm' will feature a host of artists from the past, present, and future of Def Jam Recordings. "There's so much talent on this record," Snoop said of the album. "So many styles of music, it breaks the algorithm. Right now, the algorithm is telling us you have to rap this way, you have to sound this way, but they're not telling you how it's supposed to feel. My algorithm is going to give you a feeling, not a sound."
