Editors' Pick

"Because it was three superstars I was aiming for 'event video' vibes," director Warren Fu told Noisey. "The kind of pop culture thing like when MJ would shut down prime time for his premieres. My initial concept was a spin on 'Star Tours'. It was Pharrell's idea to make the LA futuristic-Egyptian hybrid, and Snoop's idea to make the actual ride take place in the '40s - which then takes them on a journey into the future."

"California Roll" is the latest single off Snoop's "Bush" album. Produced by Pharrell, the LP was released earlier this month.
