Snoop Set to Release Tha Blue Carpet Treatment in November
Multi-Platinum, Award Winning rapper Snoop Dogg is set to release his eighth solo LP, "Tha Blue Carpet Treatment," this November through Doggystyle/Geffen. “Tha Blue Carpet Treatment” is one of the most highly anticipated new albums of the year and will continue to solidify this hip hop icon as one of the most influential musical entertainers of today.
Throughout each record on the forthcoming release, Snoop takes it back to the basics…back to the ‘hood, showcasing the original gangsta sound that made this Long Beach rapper an instant household name when he made his debut in 1992 on Dr. Dre’s hit song “Deep Cover” and the classic album “The Chronic.” After releasing a string of hit records on his last effort that carried a more commercial sound, such as the #1 mega-hit “Drop It Like It’s Hot” featuring Pharrell, the rapper decided this time around to bring back Snoop Dogg, the O.G., for his fans. Producers who collaborated on “Tha Blue Carpet Treatment” include hit makers Dr. Dre, Timbaland, Rick Rock, Pharrell, among others; along with guest appearances by artists such as Stevie Wonder, Ice Cube, The Game, Brandy, R. Kelly and MC Eight.
The premiere single, produced by Pharrell, titled "Vato," featuring B Real from Cypress Hill is a gritty street record that tells an everyday story from the rough LA streets that only the Dogg himself can tell. The video for the single, which was directed by Phillip Atwell, plays like a short cinematic film with an important underlying message: the need for black and brown unity, especially in the wake of violence in recent months in Los Angeles. With Snoop starring as an O.G. and B Real as a Latino gang member, the video also boasts guest appearances by rap veteran Kid Frost and Oscar nominated actor Edward James Olmos to bring attention to an unfortunate, but real issue that continues to plague communities today. Through this groundbreaking video, Snoop is looking to leverage his street credibility and knowledge to launch a much needed push for unity.
"It's about time we start to fight for each other rather than fighting against each other. I have homies from all cultural backgrounds and love all of my brothers, black and brown. There is nothing that can stop us from creating a better future for ourselves, for our families and generations to come if we all came together," says Snoop Dogg.
This is not the superstar’s first attempt to bring forth social awareness to important issues. Last year, he held a peace summit dubbed “Protect the West” to end all feuds between rap artists from the West Coast. Snoop also participated in rallies to save Stanley “Tookie” Williams, an ex-gang member on death row who spearheaded the truce between the “Bloods” and “Crips.”
The highly anticipated world premiere of “Vato” will make its video debut on August 30th on “BET’s Access Granted.”

Its all opinions so there is no need to argue and 40 is one of my fav's and even he sucked on that track. Again its all opinions but to me this was prob one of the worst songs of the year.
-
everyone I know whos heard Candy loves that song....Even people I know who dont give a fuck about music liked it....That shit is a banger!

And again its all opinions, cause everyone I have played this for thought it was pathetic. And you know what maybe its not as bad as I think, Im gona bump it again
-
Man I tried to feel "Candy" but besides 40 and Goldie the raps are just so generic, lazy, and boring.
And LMAO at Eiht's verse, my ears are still bleeding
-

dumbest thing ive heard in years. remember the only saying, "don't judge a book by it's cover"? apply that here...
-
As far as "Candy" goes.....
It is a bit similar to how "Drop it like it's hot was", but just not as dope....because when that was first posted on this site two years ago, 90% of the site HATED it, and thought it was utter crap.....and it ended up being one of Snoop's biggest singles in his entire career.
With Candy, it's definitely not as dope, but that stripped down sound with simple, generic verses are the type of songs that have made hits in the last few years...look at "Wait - Whisper song" "Yay area" and "Vans"...regardless of if you hate or love those songs, this song follows that same pattern, and that is usually the formula that catches ears. It will be a big song in the clubs, and if it gets pushed nationwide...TAKE MY WORD FOR IT...it will be a hit. The only reason it wouldn't become a hit is because the industry might hate on the other artists who aren't Snoop and E-40. But I can understand why some of y'all hate it...I personally think it's dope, but it's not for everyone.

Candy & Real talk is two dope ass bangers i gotta cop it just for those two traccs !!!!!! 8) 8)
-
cover is cool
-
i dont like the cover at all ... looks cheap like his chuuch covers.
-
the cover brings back memories of doggystyle to me, that's why i like it
-
cover album is sick
Last Meal was a great album, and obviously Doggystyle is one of the best ever
hopefully the track record of cartoon cover art continues
-
Haha, Snoop took it back to the cartoon days :D Shit brings some tears to my eyes..
But for real, I have all the Snoop albums except that shitty last one (when I heard the songs I decided to end my collection after Paid tha cost..), but it seems that I'm gonna have to come back and get this one as well..
-
Got mixed feelings about this.
Vato was dope the first 5-10 times, and then got pretty boring like most other Neptunes shit, and Candy is horrible. :-\
