It seems like this should be easy to Google, but I've never had any success.
This was a video from the early 2000's, it featured Snoop Dogg in a prohibition-era speakeasy. The entire video took place in the historical setting, and it may have been tinted and/or black and white. I would like to identify the song. I can't remember if the song itself was retro-themed or not.
After some research (that is not really my kind of music ;)) i found this video:
Snoop Dogg - Doggfather Feat. Charlie Wilson (Official Video)
It is in black and white and has this typical 20s Prohibition-area-style like you describe in your question. Maybe this is it?
I believe the song that you are looking for is called Sweat

The video features Snoop in a suit and it looks like it was shot under black lightning.
