Synopsis

Left home while his parents are away, a teenage Snoop Doggy Dogg turns the family house into a full-scale party despite strict instructions to behave. The video parodies the 1990 film "Home Alone" as Snoop welcomes friends, drinks, smokes, and performs at a drive-in theater. The celebration ends when his parents return, discover the chaos, and throw out the partygoers before confronting their misbehaving son.
