Snoop Too Gangsta For The Radio?

[J Bananas]

bottom line it wasnt a catchy hook, especially the "run nigga run" part, and its violent. there's nothing appealing to commercial radio about this song aside from the fact that its a neptunes and snoop track. thats what gets it the few plays it does.

[WestCoasta]

^^^ ya, it's just that you know when a single has a buzz.... and this sure doesn't have one whatsoever

and he's got like a month before his album comes out

like I said, dude might have trouble pushing gold.... it'll take him a minute to get to platinum

[Si-Chiggedy]

Don't take about if he'll sell. Every Snoop album has sold, TBCT will sell too, cause it's Snoop. He's still in the mind of people because of sing like "Buttons" or "Say Something". Vato is a cool track I think, Candy is great when you listen to the edited version and when u realize that MC Eiht goes hyphy on it (!). That's That Shit is cool, too but nuthin special. I'd love to hear the Snoop/Kam track "murder, murder" must be great! And please more soopafly beats, this guy is a genius!

Thats what I like about the song.  Snoops taking chances by putting this single out.

I was gonna say just the same thing. I like it too. Snoop caught all that heat for his pop singles off the last album, and not that he's doin' some gangsta shit now everyone's saying it's not "commercial" enough?

[J Bananas]

^i am just saying its not commercial enough for radio, and personally i fuckin hate radio. i dont have any major problems with the song itself its really grown on me, but the thread is about its commercial success or its lack there of

[King Tech Quadafi]

Vato is not a good single...and I see it more as a street single, plus "Thats That Shit" is not a Good Follow Up...

[kingwell]

This is good.  Maybe it will act as encouragement to other artists...

Exactly. At least hes not following the pattern.

[.:Hercy Buggz:.]

I find it weird that Snoop didnt use his Return with Dr.Dre as promotion for the new album..

[Si-Chiggedy]

he did, there was an article on billboard.com a few weeks ago. 

[Turf Hitta]

Does Vato get any spins were you guys are from?

all the time
