Rap star Snoop Dogg’s Olympics commentary for NBC is already going viral for all the right reasons.
In a 26-second clip that NBC shared online Sunday, Snoop enthusiastically analyzed Team USA’s badminton clash with China. But after initially noting the names of the countries competing, it became more of a stream of consciousness of what was going down on the court.
“As you see it don’t stop ’til the casket drop. They rocking and rolling, back and forth. Give me that, no I need that. No, over here, no, over there, what about over there?” the rapper began.

Another described Snoop’s play-by-play as “Olympic gold” and several suggested NBC should get him on its permanent payroll.
