For Bryan "Birdman aka Baby" Williams, life's a beach and he's just playing in the sand.

Place both a sleek, modern new car and a custom old school in front of Snoop, and hands down, he’ll pick the old school. But you can’t be mad at the Doggfather for passing up on a new ride. “That’s my nature; that’s me,” he says about his preference. “I’m a ’70s baby, and I’m inspired by my generation ’cause when I was a kid that’s all I saw and it stayed in my mind—that’s what I get down with.
