There's no contest, according to Snoop Dogg: He can sing way better than his close friend Diddy.
"Right now, I got Puffy by a couple of notes," he smiled. "I think Puffy can just sing alto and tenor. But I can sing alto, tenor and soprano. I can sing any note."
Snoop's singing on "Sensual Seduction" has won everybody over, hands down. It's the first single from his next LP, Ego Trippin', due in March.
"There will be a couple of more songs where I express my R&B feel," he described of the album. "It feels good and sounds good. It's no stretch. I've always been singing melodies and riffs, but never no whole song. I've been making all kinds of songs, but I've never done anything like how I done [with 'Sensual Seduction']. I'm trying to mix it up and bring a variety of different looks [on the project], but there will be those type of Snoop songs you love."
The new song was written and produced by Shawty Red, who's most known for his work with Young Jeezy. "I initially wanted do a record where it's just based on me," he said about his original concept for the album. "But through the time making this record, I have a few guest appearances on here. The Ego Trippin' part is that I have allowed other artists to write songs for me. 'Sensual Seduction' was written and produced by Shawty Red from Atlanta. I usually don't accept songs from people. I do my own writing. I usually be ego tripping. [On this album], I'm trippin' to a certain extent, but I'm not."
The Dogg names producers Pharrell Williams and Teddy Riley as the LP's main contributors. "Pharrell is always going to be involved with what I do," he said. "Teddy Riley had the music game in his hand for 12 years straight. He knows how to create the atmosphere for a great artist and a big event. I feel like I'm a big artist and keep my albums in the classification of a big event. For me and him to work together, it's gonna be like Quincy Jones and Michael Jackson working together on that Thriller album." ...

Nigga! Lmao @ that highlighted part. So "Ego Trippin" = "R&G" pt.2?
-
im ready 2 hear what this is going 2 be like
-
man it sounds like its gonna be a dissapointing album.
Probably one of his worst albums.
Probably 2 or 3 dope tracks though.

I'm waiting for the many advance versions of of Non Album maker's to start droping
fav part about a new Snoop record.. 8)
The Song's that are better than the ones chosen for the album.

Man I called this after the numbers came in for BCT. Snoop sold more with that R&G music. So he is going back to it.

I think it means that Snoop didn't sell as much with his last one than his previous album so he going back to the same type R & G which is :(

Yeah basically what Gotti said. People knock his work with Pharrell and the whole R&G experience but that record sales wise was probably his biggest since his 1st No Limit album. The fans wanted him to go with the gangsta style and he did for the most part on BCT and it did not translate to big sales. So I always thought he would go back to the R&G route after BCT because it is safe. Not to say it would be for the entire album but definitely a good portion of it. Now R&G over some Quik and Terrance Martin beats would be interesting.
-
me personally i don't think this is going 2 be anything like r&g at all
-

Possibly not. I personally think it is going to be very musical. Especially if Quik and T Martin are involved.

Oh Right Cool!!
Well R&G was a good fresh Album!!!
So D.Nice you might be right..
I kinda hoping a mix of BCT & R&G
When did that come out, 2004/2005???
What were rap Sales like back then, I think anybody who was anybody were hitting Plat quicker than they r right Now..
So if Snoop sale-wise,is heading for that R&G style it may do worse than BCT...
Well have to wait and See...
But If this album turns out to be really Good....it may Put Quik in a position being the most Sought out Guy to mix your albums..and Give T.Martin that avenue to make hits outside of his camp..
As for T.Riley may be that opportunity to start making R&b?hip Hop tracks again...
So it's definitely going to open up a few more doors for all involved in Snoop's Project!!
