agreed, that chorus has gotta be the lamest shit, I shake my head when I hear it.... annoying

the beat is okay, the fact that Snoop is relying on Pharrell for a west coast record and a single again, it's kind of annoying as well

I think he thinks it will work, but if "Candy" is on that cd and Pharrell handling most production..

I don't know about you guys or whatever, but that shit doesn't fly with me....

and I don't have any friends into music as much as I am, and I know that shit doesn't fly with anyone else either

people I've heard from don't like this shit.... his lyrics seem to have gotten a little better as of late tho, but that's obvious with the timing

It's an ill street song, it could work as a single.

Im glad he would rather release this then some pop shit with Justin.

Pharrels verse somehow sounded funkier then B-Real's attempt.

It's catchy. I think it's a good choice. The video will make or break its success though.

Has a Doggystyle feel to it.... but B-Real's hook came off gay.  What kind of 'accent' was he using? And his choice of words were weak... "You won't believe what i saw...pack of guys" ??  Damn...  how is VATO the title of this track?

the song is catchy.....that fuckin chorus gets in your head for hours...I think the video is gonna be good, so hopefully it does well.......at least snoop stepped his rap game up for this track and hopefully this album....you guys always find something to be negative about.......i think snoop could make a perfect track with dr dre and you guys would still find something to bitch about

Thing is, as far as I can tell Snoop isn't relying on Pharrell to give him a "west coast record". He's relying on Pharrell to give him a hit, plain and simple. I doubt he cares if it sounds West Coast, so long as it breaks the charts. "Beautiful" and "Drop It Like It's Hot" were Snoop's biggest singles in years, with neither sounding particularly like a typical Snoop Dogg track, so it's no mistake that he's gone back to The Neptunes for the first single for this album. If the formula ain't broke, don't fix it.

As for the chorus, I enjoyed it when Pharrell was on there. In fact, I don't even have the version with B-Real downloaded. He added nothing there, as far as I'm concerned.

Finally, I wouldn't read too much into "Candy" being on there. Seems like every rap album on there has to have at least one track catered to the clubs. Let's just hope that that is the only one, since normally Snoop tends to keep those kind of cuts to a minimum.

I have high hopes for this album. My personal prediction is that it will slightly less than "R&G" overall, but will deliver quality-wise. If it sells even better, great, but I can't see "Vato" blowing in the same way that "Drop It..." did. With Pharrell absent vocally, it loses some 'chick appeal'.

^^^ trust me, he's relying on Pharrell for help, 2 times in a row proves it

if so then he just lied to everybody in his recent interview


I'm a Snoop fan, I'm just sayin..... seems like the script gets flipped a lot, that's all

we'll see tho, hopefully I eat my words

Snoop ALWAYS picks wierd singles other than his Death Row stuff. That is a known fact. Tha Last Meal is a example. Snoop Dogg I could not stand that song. 2nd single? Law Low. His 2nd and 3rd singles end up being stronger than the 1st so this ain't no different.

The song is pretty tight, but B-Real should be deleted off the track. That "pack of guys" shit is hella corny. He should put a real 'Ese on there like Lil Rob. Even Frost woulda been a G move.

The song is tight, which is exactly why it won't sell. It is too gangsta to get any airplay.

True. A few people get on here just to stir up some shit, but whatever. I like the song a lot, and I hope it does well.
