Snoop's next LP is "temporarily" called Malice in Wonderland and was inspired by a session he had with composer Lalo Schifrin.
"He conducted some music for me that was so sinister, so evil, mean and dark," Snoop described. "I just wanted to make a record like that. That's just the way I feel."

True but sadly I doubt we'll ever get that again.
would be great if he sticks with the plan to make a dark album.
but since the news is coming from snoop dogg and his last album has only been out for 2 months,
i don't expect snoop to make a concept album.
he might prove me wrong next year though :laugh:
If he lets Lalo Schifrin produce the whole think,with maybe Fred Wreck doing the beats....
This could work.

"Tha Doggfather" was supposed to be an all dark "mafioso style" album

serious trunk rattler! i dunno who produced this but the bass is ridicolous :0
yeah thats right.
I remember bumping this in the car a whole lot. major vibrations :0
yeah.
snoop's "dark" songs
murder was the case (both versions)
serial killa
the legend of jimmy bones (i think thats what it was called)
snoops got a lot of songs with a dark/eerie kinda vibe to them. 'round here' is a goodie - creepy keys, bells and some low low bass...
if Snoop is gonna do a whole concept album he need to call Battlecat....
do a whole album with just Cat on tha beats and Snoop on the rhymes....
they could call it "The Adventures of Cat & Dogg" or some shit...
Snoop has definitely earned his stripes in hip-hop.
That's why he can experiment with other genres as he did on Ego Trippin'.
"I think I have more room than ever to do as I please," Snoop said.
"I've made so many records that were true to hip-hop, true to Snoop Dogg and true to the West Coast and gangsta rap in genre.
Now it's time for me to make records that feel good to me and [to] venture out.

Biography
[edit]
Early life & education
Schifrin was born Boris Claudio Schifrin in Buenos Aires of Jewish heritage. His father, Luis Schifrin, led the second violin section of the orchestra at the Teatro Colón for three decades. At the age of six, Schifrin began a six-year course of study on piano with Enrique Barenboim, the father of the pianist and conductor Daniel Barenboim. At age 16, Schifrin began studying piano with the Russian expatriate Andreas Karalis, former head of the Kiev Conservatory, and harmony with Argentine composer Juan-Carlos Paz. During this time, Schifrin also became interested in jazz.
Although Schifrin studied sociology and law at the University of Buenos Aires, it was music that captured his attention. At age 20, he successfully applied for a scholarship to the Paris Conservatoire. While there, he attended Olivier Messiaen's classes and formally studied with Charles Koechlin, a disciple of Maurice Ravel. At night he played jazz in the Paris clubs. In 1955, Schifrin played piano with Astor Piazzolla and represented his country at the International Jazz Festival in Paris.
[edit]
Career
After returning home to Argentina, Schifrin formed a jazz orchestra, a 16-piece band that became part of a popular weekly variety show on Buenos Aires TV. Schifrin also began accepting other film, television and radio assignments. In 1956, Schifrin met Dizzy Gillespie and offered to write an extended work for Gillespie's big band. Schifrin completed the work, Gillespiana, in 1958. Later that year Schifrin began working as an arranger for Xavier Cugat's popular dance orchestra.
While in New York in 1960, Schifrin again met Gillespie, who had by this time disbanded his big band for financial reasons. Gillespie invited Schifrin to fill the vacant piano chair in his quintet. Schifrin immediately accepted and moved to New York City. In 1963, MGM, which had Schifrin under contract, offered the composer his first Hollywood film assignment with the African adventure, Rhino!. Schifrin moved to Hollywood late that year.
[edit]
Scores
To date, he has written more than 100 scores for films, television and video games. Among the classic scores are The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich, Mannix, The Fox, Cool Hand Luke, Bullitt, Enter the Dragon, THX 1138, The Four Musketeers, Dirty Harry, The Big Brawl, The Cincinnati Kid, T.H.E. Cat, The Man from U.N.C.L.E. (Schifrin wrote music for two episodes of the television series, although the main theme was composed by Jerry Goldsmith),[1] Voyage of the Damned, Rollercoaster, The Amityville Horror and The Osterman Weekend.
One of Schifrin's most recognizable and enduring compositions is the theme music for the long-running TV series Mission: Impossible. It is a famously distinctive tune written in an unusual 5/4 time signature.
Recent film scores include Rush Hour, Rush Hour 2, Rush Hour 3, Bringing Down the House, The Bridge of San Luis Rey, After the Sunset, and Abominable. He also wrote the songs for Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow. In the 1999 film Tango, Schifrin returned to the tango music he had grown familiar with while working as Astor Piazzolla's pianist in the mid-1950s. He brought traditional tango songs to the film as well as introducing compositions of his own in which tango is fused with jazz elements.[2]
In 1970, he composed the Paramount Television (which by then had taken over production of Mission: Impossible) logo jingle "Color I.D." It was an 8-note jingle featuring horns, woodwinds and timpani. This music would have a long run in Paramount's TV production logos through 1987.
Schifrin's "Tar Sequence" from his Cool Hand Luke score (also written in 5/4) was the longtime theme for the Eyewitness News broadcasts on New York station WABC-TV and other ABC affiliates, as well as National Nine News in Australia. CBS Television used part of the theme of his St. Ives soundtrack for its golf broadcasts in the 1970s and early 1980s.
Schifrin's working score for 1973's The Exorcist was rejected by the film's director William Friedkin. Schifrin had written six minutes of difficult and heavy music for the initial film trailer but audiences were reportedly too scared by the combination of sights and sounds. Warner Bros. executives told Friedkin to instruct Schifrin to tone it down with softer music, but Friedkin did not relay the message. Schifrin's final score was thrown out into the parking lot. Schifrin reported in an interview that working with Friedkin was the one of the most unpleasant experiences in his life.[3]
To date, Lalo Schifrin has won four Grammy Awards (with twenty-one nominations), one Cable ACE Award, and received six Oscar nominations, and has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
He is also widely sampled in hip-hop and trip-hop songs, see Heltah Skeltah's Prowl or Portishead's Sour Times. Both songs sample Schifrin's "Danube Incident", one of many themes he composed for specific episodes of the Mission: Impossible TV series.
Schifrin made a cameo appearance in Red Dragon (2002) as an orchestra conductor.

Imagine snoop rapping over that last beat with harder drums and shit!
This composer, and maybe a couple producers that could fit that style.
Dre, Fred and Muggs.
Man I would just cop the instrumental off that to see what it would sound like.
This dude only needs beats,off course it would benifit if it was a experienced beat maker/producer....
so they could work together on such a project.
I like to point out that this is a project that any rapper for that matter should try out.
Itīs not limited to Snoop ;) ;)
what about Brotha Lynch Hung?
they collabored not too long ago, and Brotha Lynch Hung makes dark music so?
you mean that Lynch should write Snoopīs lyrics for a project like this?
you think snoop is going to go from his e! show and ego trippin to a horrorcore album?
