No one can say Snoop Dogg isn’t honest. XXLMag.com caught up with the West Coast legend to speak about his upcoming album, Malice in Wonderland, and the Doggfather revealed that like his last album he will be recruiting the writing talents of other MCs for the project.
When asked if he will be digging into his rhyme books this go-round, Snoop told XXL that instead he will be the mouthpiece for other rappers’ words. “I got a couple of my little homies that’s putting the pen to the paper,” he shared. “I be letting my homies get on by writing and expressing they thoughts through me. I be letting them have opportunities to be a star through me.”
Although it presently doesn’t have a release date, Snoop says he is about “50 to 70 percent done” with the disc. “I’m trying to finish this tour up and then get back home, do a few things to tighten it up,” he said.
The album, which Snoop describes as a “feel good record,” will be released by MTV. As far as the music, the Long Beach rep says “It feels good, back to the basics. I mean, I don’t do all that hyping, that ain’t my thing. I just go to the lab, drop a single and then drop another single, then drop the album. If you fucking with it, you get it. if you ain’t, you ain’t.”
So far Malice in Wonderland features production by Ty Fyffe, Scoop Deville and Drumma Boy.—Eli Mancini with reporting by Clover Hope

Game Uses Ghost Writers?
-
uhhh yea.. go check out that Fat joe lil wayne and game - u aint sayin nothin remix
oh and way way before that... on the documentary go listen to those records we all know that sound like 50 cent
this shits a business homie.. open your eyes :)
-
I thought Dr. Dre was producin' on this record?
-
Well he is honost i admit that, but i am afraid its gonna be another average album. First single something very different and the other singles that dont catch the audiance. I am pretty sure his album is gonna be very mainstream becouse off mtv. Its cool he wants to be different and that he mix alot off music styles on his albums, but he should not do everything so complicated. He should stay true to his original westcoast music, instead off all these sidesteps...
But anyway its his 10th album so i realy hope its gonna be realy good and not to special.
-
Snoop? Ghostwriters? NO!

Thats bullshit......Snoop has always used Ghost writers...the only thing 50 helped game with was writing the hooks for the song.....get yo facts straight....even 50 has stated that before.

Actually 50 Cent has said that he wrote whole songs for The Game, if i remember right.
-
^^ correct. AND THAT IS ALSO " GHOST WRITING ".. plus the chorus is really what makes GAME anyways. you pay more for a hook , than someone to write your 16 bars.
-
If Snoop ain't gonna write his own flows he ain't tha King Of The West in my opinon it would make sense 2 use tha same ghost writers who did Doggy Style. I never heard of Game not writin his own shit even thou 5-0 said it we all know he's hatin 300 bars is proof. with all this talk bout niggaz dat suppose 2 be tha faces of the WEST not writin they own shit is why i'm glad I fuck wit niggaz Like

Should be another mediocre album
-
thought this shit was gunna be a dark cd ::)
-
A dark album on MTV?hahahahahahaha!He's probably going to have a song with Spencer Pratt on the album
-
snoop nedes Crooked I to write his shit if he wants some great lyrics
honestly, when i find otu ppl dont write their own lyrics, it makes me not want to listen to them as much - THIS INCLUDES DRE AND EAZY!

Yeah Crooked I would be a great writer for Snoop, Snoop would probably jump off a bridge before he did got a 16 from Crooked though lol

Are you going to hire Crooked I to write your wedding vows?
-
A "Feel Good" album with no Dre production, cant wait ::)
-
Those would be some dope ass vows
-
cant wait 2 hear the ty fiffe joint on here
-
looks like we know now why him and Crook settled things haha.
-
Scoop Deville isn't he Kid Frost' son?
-
drumma boy? yes!
-
Hopefully some feel good music about gin and juice, letting bitches know they ain't shit, and if pigs get attitudes drop it like its hot.
Not sexually erupting, no medicine except purple, and not being a Snoop Dogg millionaire.
-
its prob be anotha above average or maybe dope album
but...dont agree with the ghost writin shit snoop can do it better !!
-
If he gonna have someone write for him, fuck let d.o.c write his whole shit.

Uhhh Snoop wrote a lot of his earlier stuff....he had D.O.C. Daz, Kurupt etc writing stuff too, but Snoop use to ghost write for Dre back then. He wrote Deep cover, and he wrote a lot of Doggystyle. Now days its a different ball game, but my point is that he has paid his dues and has been there and done that, from ground up.
-
I think that Snoop and DOC write Snoop's best shit. Snoop doesn't need ghostwriters and that's why I think it's fucked up he is using them so much. He may not be the most lyrical cat out there but he can write dope shit for himself.
-
Been lovin Scoop Deville's production recently.
You can hear on Ego Trippin' that Snoops got Scoop D's style on the tracks he produced.
Could be considered emulating his sound, ghost writin, or just a straight collabo.
-
Feel good music :(? Shit, might as well listen to some Enrique Iglesias

yup thats what i was thinking haha
-
Damn, having my doubts on this album now :-\ Why cant Snoop stick the script? He always have dope original ideas when he announces a new album, then changes it up! First it was going to be a dark, gangster type album, now its "feel good music" and Ego Trippin was supposed to be just Snoop with no guest spots....Guess we'll have to wait and see...
-
Hopefully he uses these previous ghost artists that wrote for him.
The D.O.C.
RBX
Bad Azz
-
yeah 50 has said that, he pretty much claimed writin entire first album lol (all the singles)
the only thing 50 helped game with was writing the hooks for the song. get yo facts straight. even 50 has stated that before.
Actually 50 Cent has said that he wrote whole songs for The Game, if i remember right.
-
So if you have people making your beats AND writing your rhymes - then really you're just a name and a voice. Fuck Rap.
-
Snoop is a pop artist no different then britney spears
-
thats a alltime low lol

The reasoning behind the ghostwriting thing is kind of weird. He wants other people to blow up using his vocals? I don't know about that.
As for the Game-50 deal, I don't think 50 has ever seriously implied that he wrote Game's lyrics. What he has maintained was that he pretty much gave him songs that already had the beats and the choruses built in and were already "hit records". I can recall several interviews where he has said Game is a good rapper but doesn't know how to put together a hit record if the format isn't already established by another artist or producer. I've never heard anyone say that Game uses ghostwriters.
-
50 aside,
does game write his own raps tho? (many have said he doesnt)
that be weird to go at lil eazy, when you dont write your raps lol

Yup even 50 said Game can Rap his ass off. I don't believe that Game using a ghost writer thing, theres been no proof and people just seem to throw it out there randomly like its fact. Check the liner notes, usually just the producers and Games name there...
-
yeah i mean i never believed it game looks like a rapper that could write his own raps, but i cant remember everything 50 has said on camera (bout game and games first album in which 50 claims bein heavily involved in, especially all the singles)
but then again if he helped him write the first album, (assumin only 50 helped him) who helped him write the albums after that......lol (50 not bein there, unless the traxx were from the first album era)
