If you peeped Snoop Dogg’s No. 1 video for this past week’s The Wrap Up: Hip-Hop Wired’s Top 10 Videos of the Week, then you would have peeped the friendly assist he got from Felicia “Snoop” Pearson throughout the swaggy visual.
She’s not the first Wire alum to help a Hip-Hop star achieve greatness in the music video. Check out all these incredible cameos that we dug up over the years.
And just a FYI, we didn’t troll you with any Method Man picks.

Lance Reddick in Jay-Z’s “’03 Bonnie & Clyde” ft. Beyoncé
If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. Before the HBO hit was close to going off the air, Reddick lended his lieutenant expertise to the coming out party of Hip-Hop’s biggest power couple.
Anwan Glover & Felicia “Snoop” Pearson in Rick Ross’s “The Boss” ft. T-Pain
Snoop telling Slim Charles what time it really was? Yep, we’ve seen that before.
Michael K. Williams in Ghostface Killah’s “Love Don’t Live Here No More” ft. Kandace Springs
Just when you think you left the game behind, it your natural instincts take immediate control.
J. D. Williams in Fabolous’ “Breathe”
Boadie Broadus has appeared in several music videos and here he was in 2004 exposing corrupt cops well before social media.
Idris Elba in Fat Joe’s “All I Need” ft. Armageddon & Tony Sunshine
Elba claims to never have seen The Wire so he probably didn’t understand why everyone loved him in Crack’s mini-movie.
Gbenga Akinnagbe in Wale’s “The Artistic Integrity”
If you didn’t know, Wale and Gbenga are actual cousins and they developed an easy chemistry for this Mixtape About Nothing power visual.
Hassan Johnson in The Roots’ “Break You Off” ft. Musiq Soulchild
Tempers will just turn your girl into community property. Have a look for yourself.
Wood Harris in Rick Ross’ “Thug Cry” ft. Lil Wayne
Even with The Wire and Paid in Full becoming urban culture legends, Harris’ skills as an actor are severely underrated. Peep game.
Wood Harris in Common’s “Testify”
You may openly call her “Cookie” these days, but Taraji P. Henson had Wood Harris’ back to the end…which eventually happened in this short film.
Tristan Wilds in Jay-Z’s “Roc Boys (And The Winner Is)…”
Mack Wilds is a pretty good R&B star these days but before he made a love story for NYC, he already had Jigga’s respect.
Larry Gilliard Jr., Andre Royo, Alfonso Christian Lover & Gbenga Akinnagbe in Nas’ “Be a Nigger Too”
Esco got plenty of high-profile figures to stand with him for his most controversial release of his career.
