"I could kill all you rappers if I wanted to" - Snoop

[PLANT]

ATLANTA — Snoop Dogg's video for "Gangsta Luv," featuring The-Dream, should be out soon, and his next LP, Malice N Wonderland, is ready for a December release.

"I start off with so much malice in my heart when the record kicks in," Snoop explained Friday night at T.I.'s Grand Hustle Studios; the Dogg was in town for the BET Hip-Hop Awards. "By the time I get to the end of the record, I'm in Wonderland. I'm feeling good about life. I'm celebrating, happy about my wife, my kids, life in general. It's just a roller coaster of what I'm going through as I speak.

"I've always juggled the line: 'Should I make a gangster record? 'Cause I could kill all you rappers if I wanted to,' " Snoop continued. "Then I have to sit back and say, 'I'm a business, so I'm gonna make records that can help me in this business.' I have to make radio records, but when I don't care, y'all in trouble."

Snoop is juggling his role as an artist and newly appointed exec at Priority Records.

"I haven't started off trying to sign no new acts right now," he said. "My main focus is making sure my record comes through that channel the appropriate way so I can set a standard. It's like what we did with Death Row back in the day. We knew how dope everybody was, but until we got [Dr. Dre's] Chronic album off the ground, that was the foundation. This Malice N Wonderland is my Chronic album to get this foundation off the ground. Once we do that, we'll look to see if there's somebody worth signing or somebody that's blowing up on the West Coast like Nipsey Hussle or somebody doing their thing that might need to be taken under my wing. That's what I'm gonna provide."

hopefully he drops at least Tha Dogg Pound's album on his label, that one is long overdue and all the singles from it are already old enough

[PLANT]

that would be dope if Nipsey came out on the new Priority under Snoop!

[Triple OG Rapsodie]

None of the leaks I have heard so far have anything to do with "malice." And a song called "Gangsta Luv" doesn't sound very promising either.

[OG Hack Wilson]

why isnt he smart enough to let crooked ghost write for him like on crooks n doggs

from what bishop said it's true but he doesn't release it and puts on a phony image

Should I make a gangster record? 'Cause I could kill all you rappers if I wanted to,' " Snoop continued.

Why dis nigga try'n to make it seem like he's tha BEST rapper from tha WEST. I think we all know dat he was a long ass time ago but Snoop ain't fuckin with niggaz like Tha Jacka,& Yukmouth

[acgrundy]

You know it is true, and I agree with the statement.  Too bad he doesn't seem to want to though a majority of the time.

[AGeesta]

if Crook wrote for Snoop that would be awesome

But for real,even Dre could benefit from having Crooked under his wing.
Crooked has something that the other cats he's currently working with (Bishop,Earl Hayes and Slim The Mobster) lack;
A real Mic presence and powerfull flow.
Don't get me wrong though,I like Bishop etc.... but they're more supportive MC´s than stars on their own.... if you know what I mean(?).

I disagree wholeheartedly with that statement. If you listen to R&G, tracks like Oh No and Tha Bidnes, he is on some other shit. He has a different style of rapping that New York wannabe punchline shit. If you listen to the Welcome to the church some of those songs, the one wiht Nate Dogg and Lil' Half Dead, I think "LBC'n it up"... "I flashback to the crackhouse with a bucket/ Wear the same clothes for days and say fuck it... Coz I'm the magnificent/ Hip hop and this pimpin' shit".  Run Up with 213. I mean, who can think of "The hood ain't got no Geneva either".

I just think Jay Z blowing with a bi-coastal sound had everybody trying and do lyrics with a bit of that East in their lyrics. Yuk, Game, Bishop, Crooked, Kurupt, Ras Kass, Xzibit all have a bit of the Eastcoast thing. If Snoop and other rappers like Nipsey just do them it sounds a lot better than having Eastcoast type of lyrics.  The Source Magazine had the same influence too. People like Dj Quik, Sugafree, Daz (when he's focused like in Respect), Spice 1, Too Short, 2pac (G.O.A.T) and the late Mausberg, have way way different lyrical styles than what gets recognize 9 out of 10 times in the Eastcoast which runs the industry. Look at Andre 3000, his style is so different but he's never dropped a wack verse. So, Yuk and them could go to New York and be respected but it's just a different style. So Snoop has a point. I'm a fan who doesn't enjoy the corny shit. There's wisdom, game, believeable storylines, etc. See, when Snoop talks about being a Westcoast don it's not just a punchline. He's back it up more than enough times since his career started. Remember Gangster Bedtime Stories?? That's that shit nobody can fuck with. "I'm that full who brought the Afro back, and pat your back and then I'll turn around and snatch your sack/ Before I came niggaz was wearing slacks/ I brought the curl back and the golf hat/ The black crockersacks and the scandelous raps/ I the 187's kidnaps and jacks/ I brought raps to the game nigga!"

That's that shit nobody does. They ain't got no credible history that the world can vouch for. That's what I'm saying. But I respect your opinion, I just grew on Westcoast music. E40 has never been called a great lyricist in any magazine. You sound like those people who would agree. This is another type of hip hop. 1 love

He's still not tha best rapper OUT WEST

Crooked had the opportunity at one point, but declined...

no it's not.
he's only good with proper guidance
