Rud : There were a few leftovers from your
debut album Doggystyle such as "The Original next
Episode" & the track "Doggystyle" can we ever
expect to hear these released?

Rud : Some tracks were left off The Last Meal such as
"Purple" & "No Bacctrackin" do you have any
plans to releases something along the lines of a "Lost
Tape" collection?
Snoop Dogg : I might put that out, I might put out a
"Snoop Dogg - Lost Tapes" out - cause there was a cupla
songs that didn't make my album that I thought were real dope - that
coulda been great songs for an album, they just didn't make my album
- so - yea i like that idea
Audio : Here
Rud : A few years ago you premiered the "Street
Life" track with Tupac on Westwood's radio show in the UK - are
there any plans to release that in the future?
Snoop Dogg : I don't know wassup with that one, cause, you
know like I said I don't - me personally - if you know since pac
been dead I have not put out none of his music cause that aint how I
get down - like other people are using his shit to make money off of
him - that's disrespect to me so I wouldn't - I don't think I would
do that unless his moms ya know, wanted to put the song out, that's
the way I would do it.

the Snoop Dogg sound its just a brand new millennium!

Rud : There is a wide range of producers of producers on the
album, were you not concerned it may upset the flow of the album?
Snoop Dogg : Na, im not concerned with how the album gonna
come off - cause I feel like I put in my best work and normally when
I go into the studio with the right spirit and the right attitude
and feel good about it, its gonna come out alrite - and people are
pretty much accepting the first single so if they accept the first
single they gonna pretty much accept the whole album.

um...emotions out there with your shit that normally you wouldn't
get - numsayin' - so that's a good thing, so continue to bootleg my
shit - I love it!

sound they know what the fuck they doin!

"Pimp Slap"
Snoop Dogg : I mean, I've spoke on it already I said what I
said I don't wanna dwell on it but I had to address him because he
been getting away with alotta shit and everybody been scared of him
so I just wanted to let everybody know that he's a bitch.
Audio : Here
Rud : Regards Doggy's Angels - can we ever expect a sophomore
album from them or have they broken up?
Snoop Dogg : I think that they broke up, it's sad but um....
Audio : Here
Rud : Yea "Pleezbaleevit!" was a really great yet
overlooked album
Snoop Dogg : Yea, thank you man, I appreciate that, I put my
heart and soul into it - I'd love to see them get back together but
that's on them - you know how women are! I think it was overlooked
because, for one, the movie "Charlie's Angels" was out and
they was giving us alotta flack with it and I don't think that
people were really understanding how you know - that three
females could sound as good as males - and really overlooked and didn't
pay attention to it but it's gonna go down in history as a classic
record.
Audio : Here
Rud : On "Pimp Slap" you also
address Xzibit, has that since been resolved?
Snoop Dogg : Umm, shit, I ain't talked to no one - everybody
I said something about on that song - I ain't talked to none of um.
Audio : Here
Rud : When Xzibit was in Europe earlier this month he was
shouting you out on stage so from his point of view there seemed to
be no animosity...
Snoop Dogg : There's no animosity towards me...I just had to
say it cause it was true.
Audio : Here
Rud : Have you got plans yourself to tour in Europe?
Snoop Dogg : Oh yea, definitely, I'll be over there probably
like...uhh...February or March - its essential they be having me
over there.
Audio : Here
Rud : Ja Rule appears to be talking about you on the track
"The Pledge RMX" - was that resolved or...
Snoop Dogg : I didn't hear my name on there - I mean - if you
gonna get at me you need to say my name - I ain't with all that
trying to read between the lines when people talk about me
Audio : Here
Rud : Can we expect to see you and Dr. Dre working together
again soon?
Snoop Dogg : Im thinking that we are, im hoping that we are
but you know...it's on Dre, it ain't on me - numsayin' - im wide
open.
Audio : Here
Rud : Are you set to be on the big screen again anytime soon?
Snoop Dogg : Um, yea im planning to shoot the "Starsky
& Hutch" movie, they offered me the part of Huggy Bear so -
we got that thing together to start shooting that one.

Rud : I saw your MTV interview with Adam Sandler where you
spoke about being fans of each other and you talked about possibly
working together - you even mentioned a film you wanted to do about
a "Superhero from the hood" can we expect you two to work
together soon?
Snoop Dogg : I want that characters name to be "Super-nigga"
and I want Adam Sandler to write it and direct it for me so
hopefully that happens - yea we talked, me and him talked again
about a month ago and um...hopefully we can make it happen, I don't
