Link is blelow but some interesting notes about the album... check it out... Ohwee... 8)
Rap-Up.com is first to bring you an exclusive look at Snoop Dogg’s ninth studio album Ego Trippin’, which drops March 11th. We were one of the few outlets invited to preview the Doggfather’s latest offering on Wednesday afternoon in Los Angeles. We escaped the rain and headed inside Chalice Studios where we spotted Lindsay Lohan and pal Samantha Ronson hanging out in a nearby studio.
By now you’ve heard the song and seen the video for Snoop’s first single “Sensual Seduction.” Snoop takes the concept of rhythm and gangsta to a whole new level on Ego Trippin’, which was overseen entirely by the QDT Music Group comprised of DJ Quik, Snoop, and Teddy Riley. The result is one of Snoop’s most colorful albums to date. Check out our track-by-track preview below.
Snoop’s A&R Ted Chung (who also appears on Snoop’s E! reality show “Father Hood”) was there to play each track from his laptop. He explained that Snoop didn’t want to reach out beyond his own “sphere” of music with this album. His original intent was to produce and write everything himself, which evolved into making a more “homegrown” album based upon his personal musical influences. This led to the entire project being overseen by DJ Quik, Snoop, and Teddy Riley. Snoop has always been a fan of Teddy Riley (his favorite group in high school was Guy) and they met up when they were both honored at “VH1 Hip-Hop Honors” last year. DJ Quik came in as the finisher and mixed every track on the album. Despite previous reports, The Neptunes-produced “Sets Up” and “Feet Don’t Fail Me Now” will not be featured on the album.
1. “Press Play”
Produced by DJ Quik for QDT Music Group
Opening track on the album featuring a heavy, hard bass line. A female voice repeats, “Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!” Snoop reminds the listener that he’s still doing what he does best—”Ballin’” on some “gangsta shit.” “Big Snoop Dogg he a boss like that,” he raps. Snoop shouts out many West Coast artists like his DPG crew and Dr. Dre.
2. “Snoop Dogg Is Out” featuring Charlie Wilson
Produced by Teddy Riley
Opens with Charlie Wilson singing in a T-Pain-esque voice: “Snoop Dogg is out. You wanna be there partying, all night long until the break of dawn.” Heavy bass sound, but with a laid-back, sexy vibe. Snoop raps about the glamorous club life: “I shine like a million lights.” “Pose like a superstar, walk like a model, pop it like a bottle,” Snoop commands.
3. “Gangsta Like Me”
Produced by Teddy Riley
It starts with loud gunshots and a vocoded voice. The beat has an Indian flute sound similar to 50 Cent’s “Candy Shop.” The hook features a female and Snoop going back and forth. Female voice sings, “Never met a gangsta like you…but I think I like you… Take me home.” Snoop responds, “You can’t be wifey.” Sounds like a typical story of an obsessed groupie.
4. “Neva Have 2 Worry” featuring Uncle Chucc
Produced by Niggaracci (Snoop and Terrace Martin)
Uncle Chucc sings the hook: “I made some mistakes to become the G that I am today. I’m too high in the clouds to ever have to worry about that.” Song starts with Snoop reflecting back upon his career: “15 years in the game and I’m still relevant. It’s a blessing.” Introspective look back at Snoop’s career. Addresses calling women hoes, chalks it up partially to freedom of speech. A saxophone can be heard at the end.
5. “Sensual Seduction”
Produced by Shawty Redd
First single. A Snoop classic in the making. If you haven’t heard it, listen below.
6. “Life of Tha Party” featuring Too $hort and Mistah F.A.B.
Produced by Scoop deVille
Fast, up-tempo party song. Too $hort raps, “I’m the life of tha party. Don’t take much for me to get started. I’m the life of tha party. I got 10 bad bitches acting retarded.” Mistah F.A.B. raps on the hook: “I’ll pose for your picture, cheese, cheese, cheese. Now freeze, freeze, freeze.” Ends with Too-$hort’s signature, “Bitch!”
7. “Ridaman”
Produced by Niggaracci
“Uncle Snoopy, can you please tell us a gangsta story?” a child asks in a chipmunk-sounding voice. Hook follows the Spiderman theme: “Ridaman, ridaman. Does whatever a rida can. Bust a gat in your side… Look out, bitch. Here comes the ridaman!” Talks about the West Coast lifestyle: “40 oz., smoking blunts, Levi’s jeans.” The song has a sound and flow like Slick Rick’s “Children’s Story.”
8. “Gurls”
Produced by Scoop deVille
Samples the Bee Gees’ “Too Much Heaven” (listen below). Mid-tempo, spring/summer, laid-back vibe. Story of a girl who moved down to “L.A. from the Bay.” Snoop contends for the one-liner of the year with the lyric, “I’m about to eat your cat up like Heathcliff.” Typical story of a rapper chasing girls, girls, girls. This is a strong contender for the second single and our favorite track off the album aside from “Sensual Seduction.”
9. “Stacks in My Jeans”
Produced by Rick Rock
Starts with a chopped and screwed voice. The hook goes, “My pockets look like Rerun, your pockets look like Raj,” referencing the “What’s Happening!!” characters, Rerun and Raj. Heavy bass, hustler’s anthem, hard sound. “You got some shit to tell, I got some shit to sell.” “Being broke’s a drag.” Another classic one-liner from Snoop: “One time I told a bitch not to come back until she had $2,000 in $2 bills.”
10. “Whateva You Do”
Produced by Khao
Name checks Supahead and Ray J: “Ain’t that a bitch like Ray J, I got ‘One Wish’.” The hook goes, “We got that chronic, chronic. We got that whateva you do.” Most memorable lyric: “Spend dough at the Gucci store, I never spent dough on no coochie though.” An ’80s synthesizer sounds in the background mixed with heavy West Coast bass beats. Bouncing, up-tempo, crashing noise. DPG-type music features Khao’s signature sound found on T.I.’s “Why You Wanna.”
11. “Been Around the World” featuring Tone
Produced by Niggaracci
Dedicated to Snoop’s wife, Shante Broadus. Opens with “This record is for my baby, my baby boo.” Female singer named Tone sings the hook: “Been around the world, I done been to many places, seen some unfamiliar faces, but baby none of them compare to you. Soon as I get home, I’m racing to unplug my phone.” Raps about traveling around the world—Sydney, Tokyo, Monaco, Las Vegas: “I’m a boss at the Wynn. I cracked every color dice.”
12. “Breathe In, Breathe Out”
Produced by Teddy Riley
Opens with the sound of a gong. The hook: “Doggy Dogg is all you need.” Sped up, fast flow.
13. “Say Goodbye” featuring Charlie Wilson
Produced by Teddy Riley
Charlie Wilson sings on this mid-tempo track accompanied by piano keys. Snoop: “I can’t say goodbye to the ‘hood, to the blocks, to the streets.” Talks about how he got out of the ‘hood but his mind hasn’t left it. Introspective song where the Dogg reflects on life’s pressures. Critics are wrong, Snoop raps, “the old me never left.” Charlie Wilson sings: “I’m a man. I gotta take care of my family. These streets won’t say goodbye.” Snoop: “Wouldn’t be right if I ignored the shit that made me who I am.” Song builds at the end. Last line: “You can take the man out the streets, but you can’t take the streets out the man.” An orchestra will be added to the final version. One of Snoop’s most powerful and emotional songs. Our third favorite cut on Ego Trippin’.

hmmm very interesting im sure snoop will bring something good...hopefully people wont complain about this album anymore saying its going to be another R+G since quik's mixing it this album
-
damn, only 1 Quik produced track, at least he mixed all the songs I guess
-
Thanks for the link. I posted the tracklist in The Vault:
http://www.dubcnn.com/connect/index.php?topic=167183.msg1723251#new
Didn't Terrace Martin do more than just one track for this project?
-
i was about to stop reading that shit when he called Sensual Seduction a classic.......one good thing is its only 13 tracks...bad thing is Sensual Seduction is on it..lol...we will see about the rest.....dj quik and uncle charlie wilson is def a plus...no kurupt, nate etc def a minus
-
man i already know its gonna be a big dissapointment.
Its just gonna be a pop album. A couple rap tracks and a bunch of pop songs. The way he described them u can tell.
Hopefully hes already working on his next album and he does a rap album. None of this singing ish.
-
Only one Quik track :-\

haw do you know its gonna be a big dissapointment ;D ohhhh yeah you have heard sensual seduction .
-
Looks like itll be a major dissapointment, might miss this one
-
haw do you know its gonna be a big dissapointment Grin ohhhh yeah you have heard sensual seduction .
haha....naw but for reals, this is how its gonna go:
1) people say wait till the album comes out before u judge, EVEN THOUGH u know its gonna be wack.
2) Then once it comes out people are gonna say how dope and different the album is, even though it isnt.
3) then a couple months later the same people saying how dope the album was are gonna be saying how trash it was, and how he should go back to his old style.
Tell me im wrong. It happens wit every album. Especially snoop dogg albums. They talk about how dope the album is until a couple weeks later, and then it turns into a wack album all of a sudden, when it was from the start.
-
props. will see how it goes.
-
props. will see how it goes.
:) yeah lets see haw it goes, tied of all the people bitching ::)
-
ppl is saying that album is wack and they didnt heard the fucking album yet...wtf lol
-
1 track featuring Short & Fab 8) and another one produced by Rick Rock 8) I'll see wassup when it drops
-
This tracklist sounds fake to me cuz there isnt Pharrel and Snoop told that he got a few joints on new record
anyway...
-
for the most part it sounds like the production will be dope with the Teddy Riley tracks but I was hoping for around 3 Quik tracks like there were on NL Top Dogg
-

Despite previous reports, The Neptunes-produced “Sets Up” and “Feet Don’t Fail Me Now” will not be featured on the album
-
just a guess but maybe the Neptunes tracks didn't fit the overall "theme" of the album, I liked the 2 beats on BCT though

Yessir, this is exactly what happens with every album, you're damn right!
-
Who knows, knowing Snoop he'll probably add a track or two for the retail. It sounds like another RnG though, Snoop experimenting with more of an rnb sound and that's just not the direction I want him to go.

Where Tha Fuck Iz Tha Pound...?? ???

-
Where Tha Fuck Iz Tha Pound...?? ???
I thought this was suppoused to be a guestless album (except hook-singers)... so I was surprised to see $hort and FAB on it...
-
Sounds cool!!..so there is no singing on the record other than Sexual Eruption?
-

-

7. “Ridaman”
Produced by Niggaracci
“Uncle Snoopy, can you please tell us a gangsta story?” a child asks in a chipmunk-sounding voice. Hook follows the Spiderman theme: “Ridaman, ridaman. Does whatever a rida can. Bust a gat in your side… Look out, bitch. Here comes the ridaman!” Talks about the West Coast lifestyle: “40 oz., smoking blunts, Levi’s jeans.” The song has a sound and flow like Slick Rick’s “Children’s Story.”

Sensual Seduction”
Produced by Shawty Redd
First single. A Snoop classic in the making. :eh:
-
What happened to no guests. To much Niggaracci for my liking. Not a massive fan of his productions. Needs more production from Quik and some production from Hi-Tek or Daz or something.
-
is this tracklist final justin?
definitely not final. i wasnt at the listening session, so i dont know how much was played, but theres like 6-7 more tracks in addition to what was listed..
There are also bonus tracks on top of that (best buy, etc)

-
its just enough, no need to add bad tracks

waiting 2 hear all this
-
snooop along with nas are my fav rappers alive so i hope this comes good....doesnt sound to promising by the review but i think imma wait and hear it it, i gotta feeling it might be a suprise album...i mean he got teddy riley and quik lookin over it, cannot go wrong there. Plus it cannot get much worse than BCT....yeah i said it, the album is wack
pz
-
Plus it cannot get much worse than BCT....yeah i said it, the album is wack
:o
now snoop has def made his share of WACK (DGITBSNTBT) and bad/average ones (R&G & Paid Tha Cost) but i thought BCT was dope as fuck man :o
his easily in his top 4..maybe even top 3

for real dawg, i dont really know why but i seriously cannot get into this album....it gets alot of love on the dub but i just cannot get into it, my homies don't really bump this but it still seems to get much love on here but something is missing for me. I dunno but it sounds a little amatuer an album for me for this stage of snoops career...not in terms of content, i aint gotta problem with snoop going gangster or not, i love his versatility but i just think homies album sounds real amatuer and not well put together. Snoop to me is someone who knows how to put together real dope albums and make hits, i think the album lacked in both areas and the sound just seemed a lil cheap for snoop....i dunno dawg, i just cannot get into this album for some reason...and i aint hatin, i cop all snoops shit i just didnt feel this

i dont know man, i thought the album was good..not great but not wack..
What killed it for me was all those singing songs or whatever.
If he would have cut it down to 12 dope songs from it then i would have thought it was dope as hell.
Wit songs like Imagine, Vato, bosses life and some others.
-
so i got a question 4 everybody... wat do u want a Snoop album 2 sound like???
-
i don't care who makes the music as long as the shit sound good 2 my ears im good
-
Shiiit, last album quik mixed down was All eyez on me disc 1..........so thats definitely a good thing
I wonder how much of this Problem wrote for Snoop, if he did, you know the rhymes will be tight
If Snoop wrote on his own, even better, he might not be a great lyricist but when he puts the effort he always comes tight.
I'm excited about the production of this album.
No Neptunes is interesting cause Snoop said he's basically rolling with Pharrell for every album now.
-
Really I can't read too much into this review. I will leave that to me on March 11th when it drops.

This review doesn't get me hyped :-\

^ I feel the same way, sure it has some cool tracks but it's 80% bullshit.....
blows my mind how some retards around here have the nerve to call it a classic Snoop record
and to Lunatic, DA GAME is wack? you're trippin man, I don't think you've really listened to that shit because everyone I know likes it
my brother isn't even a hiphop head and he jacks that cd all the time from me to bump it
-
to each his own, but calling BCT wack and Da Game dope .. just WOW .. I agree that BCT has like 6 fillers and the vibe of the album isnt consistent as a whole but still imo the 5th best Snoop album ... I can listen like 3, 4 tracks on Da Game, the rest is unbearable to me ... anyways cant wait for the new album, a Snoop album is always a big event .. and damn this 1st quarter gonna be boring outside this lp :-X
-
hmm why doesn't Snoop get in touch with dubcnn anymore? Or doesn't Snoop get in touch with dubcnn? Nima, you should try to make a new interview with doggy soon, I wonder why there's so little news for it on the main page. I remember when BCT was bout to drop, we had tracks like every week like "My Peoples", "Real Talk" etc. and a lotta interview, footage and stuff like that.
Maybe Snoop wanted to reach out to his "gangsta fans" for BCT and this time he fears that his interview won't cause positive reactions of the dubcnn readers... hmm who knows.

Naw I hit him once a few weeks ago letting him know that I'm trying to do a "Ego Trippin" interview for the site cause the fans wanna know what's up with the album, and he hit me back saying we'll do it but i haven't heard back since, and I'm not about to bug him for it. We'll see what happens!
-
Is this the final tracclisting ? only 13 songs he should add atleast 2 or 3 more songs , he aint got Daz or Kurupt or Warren G on nothin ?
-
Only one Quik track :-\
5. “Sensual Seduction”
Produced by Shawty Redd
First single. A Snoop classic in the making.
:D
Yeah, ain't that some shit?
Man, taking "the concept of rhythm and gangsta to a whole new level", huh? Since that concept didn't manage to excite me much, this record most likely won't do so either. And given the first single being what it is... pass.
-
wens it comin out again?
-
snoop has to be a bad biznizman ..why is he puttin teddy riley there? why not let soopa or diggity daz produce some joints or fred wreck or dem other cats from the pound..this ninja needs to break bread within the circle....im sure if u dont read the credits you wont even know its teddy riley and who the fuck is scoop deville is that niggaracci aka snooopy?? ??? where is dj pooh, battlecat..them cats need to be eating not teddy riley ....or shawty redd
Now chuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuch 8)
-
west coast: da game is unbearable 2 me as well. just like other dude said, 3-4 tracks MAX
and i know PLENTY on here that agree with that
-
What happened to no guests. To much Niggaracci for my liking. Not a massive fan of his productions. Needs more production from Quik and some production from Hi-Tek or Daz or something.
agreed... I don't feel Snoop's beats.
I'm still hoping Snoop will redo Sexual Eruption with a talkbox, but it looks like its a no-go. :'(
-
oh my god, I just read what I wrote this afternoon... my english is bad when I'm high, sorry peeps ;)
anyway, nima understood what I wanted to say haha
-
where would be the fun if Snoop would make the album exactly like ya wanted it to be?, there wouldnt be no surprises no hype. I mean when "THRILLER" was made, fans were not like "PLEASE MICHAEL, PLEASE QUINCY, CAN U ADD THAT SOUND , OR THIS OR THAT TO UR ALBUM" they had to shut the fuck up and wait til it drops. so why cant yall do the same instead of expecting too much. yall be crying like bitches, The whole Dogg Pound camp been involved with Snoops albums since 93, Snoop always put them on , either as a feature, or as a producer or as a ghostwriter. so not because they are not rapping or producing on the records means that they are not involved.

Snoop to me is someone who knows how to put together real dope albums and make hits, i think the album lacked in both areas and the sound just seemed a lil cheap for snoop....i dunno dawg, i just cannot get into this album for some reason...and i aint hatin, i cop all snoops shit i just didnt feel this
^ I feel the same way, sure it has some cool tracks but it's 80% bullshit.....
blows my mind how some retards around here have the nerve to call it a classic Snoop record
and to Lunatic, DA GAME is wack? you're trippin man, I don't think you've really listened to that shit because everyone I know likes it
my brother isn't even a hiphop head and he jacks that cd all the time from me to bump it
80% bullshit? Really?

The only BS to me was LAX, Like This, Beat Up On Yo Pads, and Don't Stop (which Snoop doesn't even rap on). Conversations was ehh... but I can't hate.
That said, thats 5/21 songs = roughly 25% filler. IMO its one of Snoop's best - it might even be his best. I love Doggystyle and his second two No Limit records, but this has more good music.
Then again, you actually liked Da Game, so I guess its different strokes.
-
west coast: da game is unbearable 2 me as well. just like other dude said, 3-4 tracks MAX and i know PLENTY on here that agree with that
I never liked it much, back in the day when i heard it the first time, i NEVER bumped it. But it grew up on me and i can bump alot of songs from it, like "Still A G Thang", "Gin & Juice II", "I Can't Take The Heat", "Woof!", "Game Of Life", "Get Bout It & Rowdy" and some others. "Da Game" will never be classic, but it has some dope material on it though.
-
Yes for me too. I think that Da Game Is To Be Sold is more lyrical but the No Limit beat are not maded for Snoop. I like plenty song on it too.

come on man, it's not even close :-\
-
Yes, I Wanna Fuck you is fucked up but it's normal for I don't like the voice of akon, I prefer Nate Dogg.
Don't Let Go is a good song.
"Whatcha Gon' Do" too.
Many songs are good on Ego Trippin' but someone gave me a headack like the song with game, they are screamin' too loud.
-
come on man, it's not even close :-\
Yeah, "BCT" might be a better album, but "Da Game" still got some dope tracks too.

crank dat > the game
juts playing ...relax and stop fucking with my karma

Da Game was basically that 1st album that a artist from a COMPLETELY different coast tries to adapt to a label's style other than AMW and at times it worked and at times it didn't. Had some good cuts on there though

That's not really a good argument....Like you said, Cube did it yeeears earlier, Dana Dane did it, and I'm sure there's many more that I can't recall.

It's not a argument. And yeah I can't remember them either. Snoop sticks out more to me because of how big of a artist he was and he had a couple of other options of places to sign at that time. So when he went to the biggest label other than DR at the time, people's expectations were high. But his style just did not fit at times with those beats.
-
It was more than just his style to me. Snoop just fell off. You could hear it at time on DoggFather, and throughout Da Game.

Yeah it sounded rushed to me. Sounded like he tried too hard to cater to that NL sound and style. Snoop can't make a How Ya Do That Dere. But yeah there was definitely a decline in quality on that album.

da game goes fed.....shit ..
when snoop world comes in..mann...nod action
dont let go
show me love
hustle & ball
slow down
20 dollarz to my name
dp gangsta
hoez money clout..

imo the way his discography is.. perfect.. lyrically n production wise.. beats by the pound gave that man some heat..only person other than snoop who had the best fire production from klc nem is mystikal

Candy is dope? 10 Lil Crips?
Show Me Love is "average" but A Bitch I Knew (wannabe Too Short track) is cool?

hope that's not the real tracklisting cuz I personally just don't like the look of it, but w/e I'ma still check out the album when it drops and hear it for myself to judge 8)

I never been disappointed wit a snoop dogg album except Da Game Is To Be Sold and Paid The Cost... I like the way he switches his sound from album to album and i just seem to be able to adjust with it. Snoop creative as fuck and im definitely feelin sexual seduction and wit Quik mixing this album i know its gon be a dope album. but, if u just into one dimensional we$t coa$t ganxta rap then this may not be for u. oh well for u... snoop been in tha game for 15 years and been very successful and people need to recognize that!

Real talk, that is the reason he have been so succesful.. I realy dont think that sensual seduction is so bad, its on number 11 on bilboad hot 100 so some people seem to like it.
and a album overseen by dj quik and teddy riley is dope shit.

personally i dont hate the song (its iight), but because it's #11 dont mean shit really homie. crank dat was like #1 forever.
true. quik & riley got me keepin hope

Why is everybody talking about Quik ? All he did was produce one record and mixed the rest. Doesn't mean he overseased the project and picked songs to be on the album.

You forgot probally the Bombest song on The blue carpet " WHICH ONE OF U " CLASSIC !!! 8) 8)
-
I won't make a judgement until it drops. Quik producing only 1 track is a disapointment but if he's mixing the whole thing it could be great.
Wait & see...
-
I'm sure there will be at least 1 track from Battlecat and I don't believe the story about the Neptunes tracks being removed, no way.
-
i was about to stop reading that shit when he called Sensual Seduction a classic.......
I stopped reading when I read that

I had no idea Quik was fukkin wit SNoop

wens the album comn out?
