Tamara Conniff, N.Y.
Rapper Snoop Dogg has assembled an eye-popping roster of guests for his next studio album, "Blue Carpet Treatment." No release date has been announced yet for the project, Snoop's first under his own name since 2004's "R&G (Rhythm & Gangsta): The Masterpiece."
"It's coming together so good," Snoop tells Billboard. "I've been working on it for nine months. I've been working with Pharrell, Timbaland, will.i.am, Stevie Wonder, James Ingram, Warren G, R. Kelly, Ne-Yo, Akon, Jermaine Dupri, Janet Jackson, on and on. I have so much good material -- it's about [figuring out] what I'm going to use on my record."
Asked how he's evolved artistically in the past decade, Snoop says, "Musically, now I'm more coming from the heart. Back then, when I started, I was more coming from the mind. Now it's a little bit more in-depth, there's a little bit more going on with myself as far as the role I play now, the wisdom that I have, the direction that I take and the direction that I give. You can hear that in the music I'm making."
Snoop says he's working on a "Blue Carpet Treatment" animated film, plus the live-action movie "A Woman's Touch." Of the latter, he reports, "It's a touching movie directed at the women of America because I feel like the women need something from me, and I'm going to give them something. I'm going to give them what they really want and what they need."
As previously reported, he can also be heard on Tha Dogg Pound's new album, "Cali Iz Active," due June 27 via Snoop's Doggy Style Records and Koch.

if Dre aint producing on this i aint copping on it coz all of the albums Dre haven´t produced on have been so-so(The Doggfather was pretty good but that´s it).
-
Dre or not that is a GREAT lineup :o
Of course I hope Dre will produce and didnt Justin say he already gave him some beats ???
-
good to see warren g in this snoop's album :)
-
good to see warren g in this snoop's album :)
I bet his song will get leftovered :D
But the lineup: Akon, Stevie, R. Kelly, Ne-Yo
Production: Timbo, Pharrell, JD and probaby Dre
This just confirmed the number 1 spot in the albums im most anticipating. Cant wait 8)
-
Sounds really good!
-
This might be even worse than his last album.
-
I will be patiently waiting for this to come out and it better have some production by Daz on it... And a posse cut featuring Daz, Kurupt, Warren and Nate would also be nice... 8)
-
i dont except much from snoop anymore from all his albums just four are really good... doggystyle, doggfather, top dogg, and tha last meal... so if his album will drop i ll check it out but if its crap like most of his albums i wont be disappointed anymore cause it has become normal to me... sadly...
-
Sounds real good 8)
-
The list of artists is real poor imo, looks more like a r'n'b album. Do i really need to hear more pop music from snoop with a crappy hook from Pharrell, will.i.am, R. Kelly, Ne-Yo, Akon, Jermaine Dupri, Janet Jackson,
-
Take it to streets, Snoop
-
Seems to have some good producers, but the features are kind of average IMHO.

After Cali Iz Active, and Daz's SoSo Def debut, I'm sure peeople will already be sick of DPG. But I wouldn't mind them one or two tracks.
-
Dre or not that is a GREAT lineup :o
Of course I hope Dre will produce and didnt Justin say he already gave him some beats ???
Yes great for a pop record i wana hear some fucking hip hop.
-
is it just me or does that list seem pretty dull (expect for Warren and Raphael)
-
i've heard 3 songs thus far from Blue Carpet Treatment, and theyre all street as hell. so dont get that guest list twisted, hes leaving out a few features that round it out.

I hope so homie, but it looks more like R&G II.
-
Snoop been gangsta on everything hes touched lately, great too see Snoop Flowing well again with them gangsta lyrics. No More R&G Shit.

"It's coming together so good," Snoop tells Billboard. "I've been working on it for nine months. I've been working with Pharrell, Timbaland, will.i.am, Stevie Wonder, James Ingram, Warren G, R. Kelly, Ne-Yo, Akon, Jermaine Dupri, Janet Jackson, on and on. I have so much good material -- it's about [figuring out] what I'm going to use on my record."
notice he didnt say nate dogg, but he did say warren.
-
Whats a Snoop record with No Nate?? Maybe there is some problem with Nate and Snoop we dont know about...
-
^^^^
Don't even start any speculation like that. We don't need that shit.
I think he needs to drop some guests, I'd rather hear a Snoop album sort of like Cube's where there were only a select few features. Plus the majority of the names seem a bit too poppy for my expectations. R. Kelly, Jermaine, Janet, Pharell, Wil.I.Am... ehhh.
Warren G, always good to see his name. Hope those cuts make it.
A track with Dre would be nice. One of those "dream collabos" still, even though the two have done plenty. But you just can't go wrong with those two.
But those three are moot points next to what I really, really want from a Snoop album:
1: No more R&B shit. It doesn't have to be all gang banged out, but you know, "hood". At least IMHO.
2: Consistency. I always keep saying it, but it's still true - most rap albums today are just a bunch of tracks thrown together to fill a CD, they don't mesh well together. What I want is a proper album with a set theme and subject matter. Though I must (gladly) say that the trend to do exactly this is on the rise.
3: Snoop - you better bring your A-game on this one. Lately Snoop's been good, so I'm optimistic about this.
With those three things the album should come out real good. Remains to be seen if it works out. Of course, it might work out dope even if none of those things come true, but that's what I think the album needs to be like.

Who Kurupt and Daz, Warren G ?
Guest for this album>>>> Kurupt and Daz
-
Well, Nate is on 'Cali iz Active' so I don't think they have problems.
But I do NOT like this line-up. He'd better have failed to mention the street tracks cause this prospective line-up sucks terribly. Will.i.Am on this album? Like Pharell isn't bad enough.
Once again Snoop will disappoint us by making a pop album. Judging from the article he seems to think his fans actually like albums like R&G. Obviously, he counts the teenybopper audience as his fans too, and they are probably more numerous then we are.
I'm very disappointed.
-
Ok all the dudes that are saiyng they arent satisfied with the guest lineup, who do you want on this record ?
-
Who I would like to see?
Anyone from the westcoast without even a remote prospect of being a money-inspired feature would be better then Mickey Mouse-souding and rat-looking Pharell. Oh and Nate and Dre of course.
-
Ok all the dudes that are saiyng they arent satisfied with the guest lineup, who do you want on this record ?
We all know you want 50 dont you???

Well it would be better than Daz and Kurupt. The song with 50 was one of the highlights on the RNG album.
Tell me when was the last time Daz and Kurupt dropped a verse like this:
Ever since the moment I was born I been dyin (yea)
Hundred miles an hour pulse flyin wit my eye... an
He who fears fate lives like coward
You go against me, you'll be devoured
Then you get to poppin you'll have change of heart
I hit your chest a couple times you'll have to change your heart
Have doc usin donors, dead niggaz wit spare parts
You come back wit lungs of a snicth, and the heart of dead nark
Niggaz never see the light till spark
Then they bleed, it get cold , then shit get dark
You can call me the beast from the east, I run these street
You can eat hollow tip shell or you can work for me
These rap niggaz crazy, my mercy has limits
Push me a hundred revolvers'll get to spinnin
Your services are no longer needed; rock-a-bye baby
My bitch will do it to you with a lil 380 (yea)
[chorus (50 Cent)]
Everytime I come around they like "Oh No"
I get to trippin; slap the clip up in my 44
Shit I been thruin my hood made my heart cold
I get to poppin off that thang like loco
No sense in coppin pleas when you see my knife out (knife out)
Motherfuckers light out (light out)
-
let me just reiterate that there are several very notable guests that he did not mention.
-
OMG, these features suck.
-
let me just reiterate that there are several very notable guests that he did not mention.
Didnt you also say you heard 3 Dre tracks ?
-
from what I heard this album will be full of surprises, he probably said that to create some buzz...but Im positive that alot of people will be shocked bout this record
-
For you guys who have heard parts of the album and seem so certain there will be some "street" songs and other guest appearances, you can't be certain cuz Snoop himself says he has so many tracks, obviously he'll have to leave off a bunch, and he won't be leaving off songs with big names. This means the shit with Warren G and the crew will not make the cut.
I never thought i would say this, but wgo gives a fuck if DPG is on there? Daz and Kurupt are ass right now, these Cali is Active songs have been kinda dope but those two crackheads are ruining the songs! I hope they don't come near BCT unless they bring their A-games.

Finally someone with an objective point of view.
-
I could live with it if those people he mentioned had all featured on one track :-\
-
How can someone hate on Snoop for working with Stevie Wonder, R. Kelly, Akon, Jermaine Dupri & Janet Jackson ?!!!!!
-
Hey Justin have you heard that R Kelly collabo yet? How did it turn out?
-
sorry but this sounds like another R&G album. not looking forward to it
-

-
Will.I.Am :-X James Ingram ???
-
I know theres at least 2 beats dre produced for the projects .. catt told me that and said there MONSTERS .. his words not mine ..
-
50 has some really good tracks and some really wack ones, but when it comes down to it, snoop and 50 sound good together.
-
I know theres at least 2 beats dre produced for the projects .. catt told me that and said there MONSTERS .. his words not mine ..
Lemme guess, one's called 'Malibu Dre', and the other one's called "Doggz 4 life" and is Daz and Dre's reunion track, right?
-

snoop has been fire lately but this lineup is really disappointing. first the single for pharrel that we all had to make excuses about and now this. who besides stevie wonder and warren g are worth getting excited about (im not looking at the list atm)? and for whoever said "who you would you like to hear", id like dr otherfucking dre, warren g, fredwreck, mc ren, nate dogg, ice cube, kurupt, dj quik, crooked i, kam, jayo, and game to name a few. if he gave out that kind of list this place would be crazy, i'd probably even go out and get a tattoo. snoop has the money and influence to make that happen so much too, but i don't think it'll ever happen. i don't know why either.
edit: james ingram sounds ok, i don't know who will.i.am is, neyo sucked on ghostface's album iirc, iand why is jermaine dupri on an album with dre?? isn't that the reason they haven't done shit in 7 years..
-

jd has been on fire with the beats lately i don't mind that one at all

True, I'd rather hear the pop features that those 2 crackheads babbling about some garbage.

Its still months before the album will drop. Snoop works with everyone nowadays, he probablyl just named off a lot of people who its his first time working with. Am I tripping, or wasn't it just a couple months ago there was news of E-40 and snoop working together? I'm pretty sure E-40 will be on the album. I am pretty stoked on the stevie wonder collabo. I have never even heard the music of about half those guests so I can't really comment. Janet Jackson is not bad, she has a nice singing voice, and that song she did with Busta Rhymes back in the day is pretty tight. Jermaine Dupri can make some nice beats. I'm sure nate will be on the album. hopefully dre will give an small sort of executive decision of putting together the final album, that would be cool. Overall I don't expect to like every track on the album, but to be fair I don't expect that from anyone anymore. So I'm sure we will get some bangers and hopefull his best album since top dogg.
-
Ok all the dudes that are saiyng they arent satisfied with the guest lineup, who do you want on this record ?
id like to see rap cats not rnb and espcaily not pop acts like justin, parrel will i am or watever
why not try to get just blaze hes worked with timbo before...thats if he so hell bent on not working with this same people and crating somehting new as he says.
CUbe and dre would be nice maybe e-40? how about someone from the wu? the possiblitys are endless but evername i read i was like no, no , no , no, no fuck this shit
-
hopefull his best album since top dogg.
tha last meal was better
-
hopefull his best album since top dogg.
tha last meal was better
A lot better... wasent feeling quik beats on this felt like he gave snoop his 2nd rate beats he dint want for his clique
-
Well, Nate is on 'Cali iz Active' so I don't think they have problems.
But I do NOT like this line-up. He'd better have failed to mention the street tracks cause this prospective line-up sucks terribly. Will.i.Am on this album? Like Pharell isn't bad enough.
Once again Snoop will disappoint us by making a pop album. Judging from the article he seems to think his fans actually like albums like R&G. Obviously, he counts the teenybopper audience as his fans too, and they are probably more numerous then we are.
I'm very disappointed.
i agree, but im not goin to judge it on the tracklist. im not too happy so far

Take it to streets, Snoop

For real though, cats need to be schooled. Stevie Wonder may be the most talented musician ever, regardless of genre.

Besides that, why does Snoop always have to work with so called "gangstas"?
-
just make some good music snoop and put in a good effort on this one....Im not worried about the guest he named off I just hope snoop puts in a good effort for this new album and Im sure it will sound dope.
