Snoop speaks on several projects including 213!!

[Deep Cover]

If Snoop Dogg isn't already omnipresent, he will be by the end of the week.

Having already released one album and two mixtapes, collaborated on dozens of tracks, shot a couple of movies, created his own variety show, launched a line of dolls and coached his son's football team, all in the past year, Snoop will pop up on ESPN, in a video game and on a single with Knoc-Turn'Al over the next three days.

The nearly veteran thespian will appear on ESPN's first fictional series, the football drama "Playmakers." Snoop will portray the brother of Omar Gooding's troubled character on Tuesday's show.

"I play a kind of square who used to be involved with the drugs and gangs and all that but found the right path," Snoop explained on the set of "The L.A. Riot Spectacular" (see "Snoop, Porn Stars To Appear In Satire Of 1992's L.A. Riots"). "I run a youth center with the kids, and basically I'm just trying to see my brother do the right thing, 'cause he's gotten in a little trouble and I come and got his back and let him know he has to do right. He's got to make a choice between right and wrong, and sometimes your friends aren't your friends, they are your downfall, and he's gotta make the decision."

Also on Tuesday, "True Crime: Streets of L.A." (PlayStation 2, Xbox, Nintendo GameCube) will be released featuring Snoop as an unlockable character who fights crime while cruising around town in a custom convertible with hydraulics.

And, finally, Knoc-Turn'Al's "The Way I Am" featuring Snoop will officially hit radio this week. The fellow West Coast MC and Dr. Dre protégé has long been compared to Snoop, but the track marks their first collaboration. "The Way I Am" is the title track and first single from the follow-up to Knoc's Landin', due February 24, according to Knoc's label.

Snoop's also deep into a couple of his own music projects, most notably the long-awaited debut from 213, his group with Warren G and Nate Dogg. Snoop said the trio's album, tentatively titled The Hard Way, will be released December 16, although a spokesperson for the label said it was pushed back to 2004. The first single, according to Snoop, is called "Find a Way."

"We're trying to get the video together for it right now," Snoop said. "We're going to put a movie together for it also. We just trying to make sure it all comes together fly 'cause this is a dream project for me. We got a record right now that's blowing up all over the world, called 'Fly,' off the mixtape Welcome to Chuuch Vol. 2. Just trying to give the people a little something. I do records for the streets all the time."

213 are working with the Neptunes (see "Warren G Calls 213 A 'No-Brainer,' Raps Over 'Sesame Street' Track With Snoop") and frequent collaborators Battlecat, Jelly Roll and Hi-Tek, but no guest rappers. "We felt like this was our first record that the whole world was able to hear from us, so we wanted to make it more or less be about us," Snoop said.

After the 213 album, Snoop Dogg hopes to drop his next solo project, Snoopafly, in June.

"I already got a lot of [songs] done that's gonna be on that album," Snoop said. "I just know it's going to be a great record. I'm lookin' forward to working with my main man Puff Daddy. I'm going to let Puff do some things. Hopefully Dr. Dre can do a few things. Neptunes, you know, the usuals, Doghouse Production. I just want to make a quality record and show people I still got it."

This is good news I guess!!! and I hope that some success to snoop also makes artists like E-White and Soopafly release an album...

[Don Seer]

lmao!! they called snoop a thespian!.. ahhahahahaha what a joke

[Z the laidback Virus]

if they won't do any guest features (wich I do dislike somewhat) why are they still including the Neptunes???  No Dre by the way??

[.:Hercy Buggz:.]

good news but  Find a Way as the first single?

good to see that Snoop still wants to have Dre on his album

[Bomb-A®]

after a long time ive heard something good from snoop.
hopefully its true.



peace

Well I guess all in all this is good news.

Im still pissed about Dre not submitting any beats for 213....Thats fuckin weak IMO.

But with little guest appearances and some dope production, I think the 213 album is shaping up nicely...

And its good to hear Snoop say "Hopefully Dre can produce" but it sounds like Snoop doesnt know where Dres at these days...

It sounds more to me like Snoop wants to show that he can make it on his own, instead of asking Dre man to man to produce a track or two.
Every time this happens, Snoop gives out hints in interviews "Ooh, I sure could need a Dre beat", "I hope Dre can produce a track or two", or giving him shoutouts in CD-booklets.

Whatever happened to asking over the phone, going over to his house, or even a e-mail

Snoop needs Dre, not the other way around, so I think Snoop should man up, and just say: "Dre, quit fuckin around, and pass those beats cuzz!!"

[TOOTHBRUSH]

i would have liked to see one crew song with all the lbc dpg affiliates on it, but i'm glad there ain't gonna be features all over it

I dont think it should be up to Snoop to get a Dre beat for a 213 album...

Thats a no brainer for Dre.  Look at all the work Snoop Warren and Nate have done for Dre in the past.  Dre should be submitting beats for 213 IMO...How the fuck can Dre be giving beats for G Unit albums then when 213 drops there aint no Dre on it....Thats pathetic IMO.

Everyone said so, Dre is a big fucking ego. He must believe he deserves all he's got and doesnt recognize that people like Warren, Snoop, Daz, Hitman or Scott Storch has put him where he is.

LoL, they would all be no-names if it wasn't for Dre.
Some of them would even admit it..

Maybe. But what would The Chronic have sounded like without Snoop and Daz+Warren production? Where would Dre be today if Doggystyle had never happened? How many units would 2001 have sold if Snoop and Eminem hadnt featured in his singles?

It's like a life circle. Dre is who he is thanks to those guys, and they're who they are thanks to Dre. Fact is, these guys recognize and Dre is too damn big to do so.
