LOL at "concentrate on rappin", like it's not possible to do both.  When has producing ever hurt a artists ability to rap?

It sounded like an excuse from Warren G; the label might not wanted to pay Warren for rapping and producing. Either way, he should have had at least a few tracks on there.

[Trauma-san]

what the hell has that got to do with snoop??

What I meant was that Snoop will keep talking about having more WC artists on Detox and working with Dre, because it's part of his "bring the West back" theme he's got going on. Deep down Snoop knows that is highly unlikely to happen IMO, but he's got to keep saying it to give other West Coast artists hope of getting a Dre beat.

If Snoop pulls it off and brings the West back, it'll enhance his legacy.

Come on man. Snoop has done FAR, LIGHT YEARS, LEAGUES more than anybody else to 'bring the westcoast back', he's worked with everybody and anybody, even no names.  He goes over this in depth in the interview, and whether people don't like him or think he's a snitch or he's lying or whatever: it's a fact that he works with more westcoast, unknown acts than anybody else.  Short of handing them money I don't know what more he could do to help them.  He can't just turn his back on eastcoast acts, why would he?  Of course he's gonna work with them, but he always does tons with unknown westcoast acts too.

^^True. But Snoop will have pulled off the impossible if he gets Daz, Kurupt, Eiht, E-40, Too Short etc on the most anticipated rap record of recent years, i.e. Detox.

If anyone can pull it off tho, Snoop can.

Only Dre can stop that.  And if he does... FUCK DRE.

LOL, but correct me if I'm wrong isn't that what Snoop's aiming for, or at least getting those artists a Dre beat?

when i interviewed warren, i think he said soemthing along the lines of that snoop wanted the 213 album to go in another direction, and that warren himself did want to produce on the album, but just was not given the chance given the new direction of the sound. .. correct me if im wrong..

[Hectic]

   cant wait for part 4..

[R-Tistic]

Definitely a good interview...I was a bit suprised at what he was saying about Dre, even though it makes plenty of sense and I had speculated that he just doesn't have that drive and energy.

For one...you gotta think about what he's done in his career...he's been a FULL TIME producer for 20+ years! He has kids, family, and a life to live...and even more than that, he has enough money to live 6 more lifetimes and be comfortable. So it's obvious that he won't have that same drive to produce full albums, or to create classic music. He's already the Jordan of production, and there aren't many Shaq's, Magic's, Larry Bird's, or Dr. J's that even come close to what he has accomplished...even if you may prefer Quik, Battlecat, or Premier, Dre has a LOT more on his record than they do.

And also...as far as Dre helpin out the west...he made the west what it is, and he has done a whole lot for the West, period. Personally, I don't think we'll ever be happy. Even if Dre, on his own, somehow made it to where the West was stronger than ATL is right now....people STILL wouldn't be happy, and they would complain about how he isn't helpin the west create as much classic music as he did from 89-94....so we'll never be happy. It's not really his duty to work with EVERY single west coast artist and to make sure that the west stays around, even though we somehow feel it is his duty.

We even "knew" that he wasn't going to put The Game out, if you read what we were saying in 2002-2003...we just figured he'd be shelved like everyone else. So even for him to put him out was a blessing...and that still didn't really help the West a whole lot, because it is up to more than just a few major individuals.

Was it discussed in the interview?
