Snoop Dogg has been known for many things throughout his career, from his long list of hits as a solo artist to his very vocal love of marijuana. But he's also developed a reputation for being cutting edge and social savvy.
In addition to his large presence on Facebook and Twitter, he made news last year for his powerful performance alongside a hologram of the late rapper Tupac Shakur.
Earlier this week, Snoop Dogg -- also more recently known as Snoop Lion -- teamed up with Mashable for a Twitter chat Q&A with fans and offered insight into his artistic motivation, favorite collaborators and if he would perform with another 3D holographic artist in the future.
When asked which artist he would collaborate with again as a hologram, he said: "bobmarley!!!!!" And as for where he wants to perform one day? "Tha moon."

He also used the chat as an opportunity to promote his two new apps: The Reincarnated Track Notes app [iTunes link], which is a companion to his new album, as well as the Snoopify app for photo sharing. He even sent us this photo he made using Snoopify featuring Mashable founder Pete Cashmore:
