There's a lot of acts I'd be a lot more surprised to see Snoop with than the Pussycat Dolls. They had Busta on their song too.

Poor Snoop. On the one hand, he constantly takes shit from conservatives and other do-gooders who complained about his references to Crippin' in "Drop It Like It's Hot". And on the other hand, he constantly takes shit from his (ex-)fans who accuse him of selling out to pop because he gets down with people outside of hip-hop, and who claim "Drop It Like It's Hot" was an example of this.
Nigga just can't catch a break now, can he?

Yeah I mean, admitted: Snoop is the biggest thing on the west coast. He is unique because of his whole persona and self-confident vibe, and we will probaly never see anyone like him again.
And even though I though R&G was wayyy over the top with all that Neptune crap on it, I can live with songs like "Drop It Like It's Hot" because it keeps him in the spotlight. And even though Snoop has done HUUGE things for real west coast rap fans (giving Kokane a major shine, putting RBX and Rage on his records, releasing two near damn classic Tha Eastsidaz albums) I guess we all want him to do more of that.
At least after R&G I think its fair to demand a "gangsta" record with Dr. Dre, DJ Battlecat, Fred Wreck, Meech Wells, Jelly Roll....on the production.

Method Man did a song with Fred Durst.
MOP did a song with LFO.
Snoop has already done a song with Justin Timberlake.
Ol Dirty Bastard did a song with Mariah Carey.
Rakim did a song with Jody Watley.
Several hip hop emcees and producers have worked with Janet Jackson (Q-Tip, Heavy D, DJ Premier, DJ Quik, Kanye West)
I don't see what the big deal is. He did a song with a pop group, so what, it's not like he's the first.

Remember when DubCNN interviewed him and asked if he'd do more gangsta rap, and Snoop was like, "Drop It Like It's Hot...that's a muthafuckin gangsta record right there!" And he's right. How is that joint not gangsta? Just because the Neptunes produced it? Just because it hit #1 on the pop charts? For fuck's sake, he even references his blue flagg on the song, not to mention he's still on his usual king pimp shit. How many cats you know that openly flaunt their Crip affiliations on songs intended for HUGE audiences?

Amen indeed. I gave you a prop.
If Snoop kept doing the same shit he was doing in the 90s', nobody would give a fuck about him anymore...which is the case with everyone else down with DPG, including Kurupt, Daz, Nate, and Warren. I stopped listening to those other cats 10 years ago (although I still listen to "Regulate" or "Dogg Food" out of nostalgia). Why? Cause they keep puttin out the same shit over and over, and I got bored with them, so I moved the fuck on, which is exactly what everyone else did to them. Snoop? I been listening to him since his "Deep Cover" days, and 15 years later, I'm still listening to him. Because he knows how to reinvent himself, and thus sound relevent, so he'll always be fresh. There aren't a whole lotta rappers I've been listening to that long, so I think that says something.

word to cat with facts, but maybe, aint nuttin wrong with snoop workin with them bitches, shiit id rather hear snoop drop a verse for them than justin.......its music muhfuckas, aint niggaz dont get mo diverse than snoop, and he always ready to show luv to anyone aslong as he gets his paper to

I can understand that. Snoop already made a corny love song with Mariah Carey about 4 years ago so I'm not surprised.

^^ you guys might be saying that shit now, but everytime Snoop does something new people are ALWAYS jumping all over him for not sounding like his Doggystyle days.
I think it was kindda suckerish to have Neptunes ALL over his new record, but if he wants to do that its cool. I bought the record, and it has 6 tracks on it that I like. I just dont see the need for him to stay in the pop music too much. He came up as a gangsta rapper and thats what he should keep doing.
Or would yall like to see a Justin Dogg ;D

He IS a fucking gangsta rapper, ain't nothing changed that. He may be working with the Neptunes, but the music he drops is still gangsta music. Maybe you could call it pop-gangsta shit, but so what? Snoop's always been a pop-gangsta, even since his "Chronic"/"Doggystyle" days - there was a time when G-Funk was pop, ya know.

Snoop Dogg is not a Gangsta Rapper anymore, aint nuthing "Gangsta" about him anymore, and I think that People should give him Props for Still sounding Fresh , because he's one of the few Old School cats Out there that can make a good come back

The most popular excuse seems to be his beat selection. But I stand by what I said before.
How many of y'all respect Snoop for keeping it real?? Let's take 'Can I get a flick withcu' The lyrical content certainly isn't gangsta... BUT, he can't rap about shit he doesn't do anymore, that would be hard... When you make a song, you gotta talk about what's going on in your life RIGHT NOW, what you are feeling RIGHT NOW....

I disagree. Snoop's an entertainer. It's pretty obvious by now he's not banging with the 20s' in Long Beach, walking around with a blue ragg up in his left pocket, and doing drive-bys on muthafuckas these days. Gangsta rap is gangsta rap...it's all fiction, by and large.
And I definitely can't see how beat selection makes a rapper "non-gangsta" by itself. The earliest of the West Coast gangstas were rapping over production that was largely influenced by the Bomb Squad and Boom Bap from the East Coast, before Dre came in and defined the West Coast sound with G-Funk in the early-90s'. Under that logic, those cats must not have been gangsta.
As far as lyrical content, I don't think it gets any more gangsta than Crippin' on a song that's a huge hit single, like Snoop does on "Drop It Like It's Hot". Elsewhere, "R&G" had plenty of the sort of gangsta/pimp talk we've come to expect from Snoop since the "Doggystyle" days.

Snoop was suposed to work with Pat Boon (burning ring of fire) but it never eventuated

Snoops gone bananas i mean i understand him doing all this music with popstars rockstars, etc etc but he needs to be getting people under his belt and get them to make music i.e. Dre he has - Eminem, 50 cent, Game im sure Dre is getting profit somewhere but he's keeping his name gangsta eminem as popstar (near enough) and getting others to do things where the market is - overall hes kept his name in the clear after previous experiences - its seems snoops going along a flaky path.
When i saw this i thought naaaaaaaaa - just my opinion though
search "snoop" if you dont wanna wait

Exactly bro, there is a mix of all kinds of styles on his albums. I don't know why people are complaining, just because it's not that G-Frunk Dre sound and that the albums aren't full of back-2-back gangsta cuts.. People need to learn to enjoy all aspects of music. Don't stick to one style.

So you are saying Drop It Like Its Hot, and the entire album therefore, wasn't successful?? Record sales speak louder than one man's opinion...
Being successful means you must be doing something _right_

I look at it like at least Snoop tries to stay fresh. He realizes that today's music industry is different, that's not 1993 anymore. He's gotta do records that please all listeners, but then again...you can't make everyone happy. When I first heard "Drop It Like It's Hot" and "Let's Get Blown", I didn't care for them too much. But after a while, those tracks grew on me and I dig them. It's all about accepting the fact that Snoop's gotta do what he can to stay relevant in the game and make some money. No one's in the record business to go broke, so if he's gotta do specific records to stay on top of things, then as a longtime fan, I support dude. As long as it's quality music and Snoop's having fun with it, it's all good.

props to Snoop for gettin his money and all but i won´t be buying his shit until he starts putting out good albums again. i don´t give a flyin fuck if he does an album packed with pop singers/The Neptunes and other corny motherfuckers as long as it´s dope and R&G was far from dope. Snoop has changed with times but that doesn´t mean that the changes he´s made has been good. what Snoop needs is a real producer to guide him thru an album again and he´s said that the only person that can really produce him is Dre but i doubt we´ll see that in the near future so it doesn´t look like i´ll be buying any of Snoop´s shit in a while. but i aint mad at him for gettin his money all though he could easily live an extreme comfortable live with the money he got.
