EGO Trippin is No Solo Effort By Ya Man Snoop Dogg (MTV ARTICLE)

[destine-2-shine]

There's no contest, according to Snoop Dogg: He can sing way better than his close friend Diddy.

"Right now, I got Puffy by a couple of notes," he smiled. "I think Puffy can just sing alto and tenor. But I can sing alto, tenor and soprano. I can sing any note."

Snoop's singing on "Sensual Seduction" has won everybody over, hands down. It's the first single from his next LP, Ego Trippin', due in March.

"There will be a couple of more songs where I express my R&B feel," he described of the album. "It feels good and sounds good. It's no stretch. I've always been singing melodies and riffs, but never no whole song. I've been making all kinds of songs, but I've never done anything like how I done [with 'Sensual Seduction']. I'm trying to mix it up and bring a variety of different looks [on the project], but there will be those type of Snoop songs you love."

The new song was written and produced by Shawty Red, who's most known for his work with Young Jeezy. "I initially wanted do a record where it's just based on me," he said about his original concept for the album. "But through the time making this record, I have a few guest appearances on here. The Ego Trippin' part is that I have allowed other artists to write songs for me. 'Sensual Seduction' was written and produced by Shawty Red from Atlanta. I usually don't accept songs from people. I do my own writing. I usually be ego tripping. [On this album], I'm trippin' to a certain extent, but I'm not."

The Dogg names producers Pharrell Williams and Teddy Riley as the LP's main contributors. "Pharrell is always going to be involved with what I do," he said. "Teddy Riley had the music game in his hand for 12 years straight. He knows how to create the atmosphere for a great artist and a big event. I feel like I'm a big artist and keep my albums in the classification of a big event. For me and him to work together, it's gonna be like Quincy Jones and Michael Jackson working together on that Thriller album." ...

Probably one of his worst albums.

Probably 2 or 3 dope tracks though.

Man I called this after the numbers came in for BCT. Snoop sold more with that R&G music. So he is going back to it.

I think it means that Snoop didn't sell as much with his last one than his previous album so he going back to the same type R & G which is

Yeah basically what Gotti said. People knock his work with Pharrell and the whole R&G experience but that record sales wise was probably his biggest since his 1st No Limit album. The fans wanted him to go with the gangsta style and he did for the most part on BCT and it did not translate to big sales. So I always thought he would go back to the R&G route after BCT because it is safe. Not to say it would be for the entire album but definitely a good portion of it. Now R&G over some Quik and Terrance Martin beats would be interesting.

[funkkid]

me personally i don't think this is going 2 be anything like r&g at all
