-
Looking forward to the Kanye, Scoops, Jake One, Mr. Porter and Meech tracks!
-
Meech Wells and Snoop again....Hell Yea!!!
-
Hmm... Daz makes an appearance, but not Kurupt?
-
Dosent look as bad as we expected.....There should definatelly be a few keepers! I wanna hear that track prod by Porter, the Kanye West joint should be fire too! Wiz Khalifa joint sounds cool to with the sample and them goin back in forth...Meech Wells, Scpop Deville and Rick Rude shouldnt dissapoint either...Kanye, Kokane, Daz, Bootsy and Short Dawg all sound like good feat,. Im kinda anticapating this now. Props for review
-
both singles been awful, but shit might have one or two bangers.. too bad Snoop is another west rapper who hopes to get some buzz from Detox to help him sell more records
-
lol at the sarcasm in the review :laugh:
i suggest that the ones that said that snoop has grown, to read this review.
-
Another garbage Snoop album on the way ...
-
Another garbage Snoop album on the way ...
there could be a few playable songs though ;)
perhaps it's an idea for snoop to drop untagged street albums & then follow with a retail album for 'females' & long beach iz active
-
looks like another clusterfuck of garbage..
-
Dre said in an Interview he working on Snoop's new Album,hopfuly the Album had one or two Dr.Dre produced Tracks too
-
I think this is gonna be another MNW: mostly bad tracks and a few good ones.
-
that guest list is nuts, Snoop about to drop another banger
-
album is not done yet, Dr. Dre and David Guetta might be on it as well
-
too much guests.
on the producer, and the feats lists too...
:-\ :-\
-
I expect one or two dope tracks.
-
too much guests.
on the producer, and the feats lists too...
:-\ :-\
Agreed. And too many of em are douchebags.
-
They removed the article...
-
Guessin mostly trash, but looking forward to Kokane, Bootsy and not the least LaToiya Williams.
Jake One is dope, Kayne is dope.
Meech made some cool songs for Snoop.
I most def wont buy this album, but download some songs.
-
album is not done yet, Dr. Dre and David Guetta might be on it as well
David Guetta??? what the fuck???!!!! shit snoop can't work with this bitch!
-
Link dont work. Some good news as far as features an production but i aint heard of half of em.
-
rhythm n gangsta pt.2
-
rhythm n gangsta pt.2
At this stage of Snoop'carreer a R&G Pt.2 would be nice :)
-
album is not done yet, Dr. Dre and David Guetta might be on it as well
David Guetta??? what the fuck???!!!! shit snoop can't work with this bitch!
what the hell are you smoking? david guetta is putting out dope shit! I like how he's working with black music artists for 1-2 years now and does all these crossover type of tracks between house and hip-hop / r'n'b.
I've read half of the preview and to that point it looked really promising. I dunno why they removed the article. too bad because I wanted to finish the preview. But I guess someone told them to put it off.
Hopefully Dre will deliver 1-2 tracks as well. I dunno what y'all are thinking of but this looks more like a second "Paid Tha Cost..." (which would be freakin dope) instead of a new r&g. It could live with both in sense of quality and I would have liked too see Pharrell on the features side. Plus I like both new singles, New Year's Eve grew on me, it's a nice feel good song. Wet will be a massive club banger believe me

shit cant see the review!

"Toys In The Hood" f/ Bootsy Collins
Produced by: Jake One
Complex says: A short song that's strongly reminiscent of the Parliament-influenced funk style that Snoop has always been fond of. The album hasn't been sequenced yet, but it's confirmed that this is the intro.
"My Own Way"
Produced by: Denaun Porter
Complex says: D12's Denaun Porter comes through with Doggumentary Music's best beat so far, and Snoop matches him with the LP's best verses. In spite of his worldwide fame and general ubiquity in pop culture, it's nice to see Snoop back in gangster mode, reflecting on the early days: "I need a deal. I need some stones." And just like that, this super short song is over.
"Eyes Closed" f/ Kanye West & John Legend
Produced by: Kanye West
Complex says: Of course Kanye is involved with what's arguably the album's best song, and we didn't even get to hear his verse! John Legend's chorus is a lot better than most on the LP, too. Snoop drops hints of wisdom like "if you ever taste success, make sure it's from a tall glass" over the feel-good beat.
"Something Like This" f/ Gorillaz
Produced by: Gorillaz
Complex says: This sounds like it was done in the same session as "Welcome to the World of Plastic Beach," the Gorillaz record Snoop was featured on earlier this year. In between, they've fraternized at Glastonbury, and now again on this laid-back Rastafarian jam. Snoop even dons an accent as he calls out to "party people" throughout the record. Nothing crazy, but a great mood-setter for the pre-rage.
-
really want to hear the Snoop/Kanye joint
-
"20 Million" is pretty dope - produced by Swizz Beatz i think
-
Boi would i have liked to read this :(
-
both singles been awful, but shit might have one or two bangers.. too bad Snoop is another west rapper who hopes to get some buzz from Detox to help him sell more records
New Years Eve is just a promo single. Its not on the album, like Snoop Millionaire for Ego Trippin.
And Wet, thats a hit or miss song. Some people are gonna hate it, some are gonna like it. But thats the first single off the album and just like Gangsta Luv, its just to get that pop single out of the way. And im pretty sure it'll do good numbers, especially in UK.

Nothing crazy, but a great mood-setter for the pre-rage.
"Take You Home" f/ Too $hort, Kokane & Daz Dillinger
Produced by: Meech Wellz
Complex says: "I can be your best friend. Let me stick in." This song features Snoop and the gang at their raunchiest. Too $hort is typically graphic, and Snoop talks club politics and dealing with girls with fat friends. This would be easier to listen to if we hadn't heard it done better (by the same guys!) a million times before.
"El Lay" f/ Marty James
Produced by: Scoop DeVille
Complex says: The Los Angeles Board of Tourism might wanna see about including this in some "hip" commercial. We know Snoop is game for just about any endorsement. The record is like a 2011 update of Will Smith's "Miami," except we're in California. That means Sunset Blvd., the Lakers, Hollywood sets, lowriders, gangbangers, dispensaries, and apparently dentists who smoke weed with Snoop.
"Cold Game" f/ LaToya Williams
Produced by: Rick Rude
Complex says: This beat would fit in on the soundtrack for a blaxpoitation flick. It's full of the same veteran references Snoop has been dropping all over the album, "From almost going down for murder in '93/to kids all over the city ballin' in Snoop's league." Yaaaay, Snoop!
"Don't It Feel Good" f/ Ne-Yo
Produced by: David Banner
Complex says: Snoop reflects on his success: his house in the Hills, the type of Christmas he affords his children. But here, we're treated to humility instead of braggadocio. Lush instrumentation from Banner and an undercooked chorus from Ne-Yo top it off lovely.
"Dirty Dancer" f/ Trey Songz
Produced by: Trylogy
Complex says: Can you say "hit single"? We know you can never count Snoop out of the Billboard race, and this song sounds like it has a chance at taking off in 2011. The beat is hectic, the vocal sample is catchy and augmented by Trey's over-the-top but kind of undeniable hook. Snoop tells strippers to "save that sad story" and that they'll "get rich" if they twerk it right. It's essentially "Bottoms Up 2," but that's not a bad thing.
"Superman" f/ Willie Nelson
Produced by: Willie Nelson's Band
Complex says: This might not be on the album, and we can understand why. It's funny, but acoustic, and it completely disrupts the record's otherwise unified sound. Snoop has always said that Willie Nelson is the only person who can out-smoke him, and after hanging out in Amsterdam this year, they went ahead and made a song about (what else?) weed. However, this is about the problems it brings more than the joys: "Trying to do more than I can. I got a little out of hand. I ain't Superman." Old-man rap, for realz.
"Raised In The Hood"
Produced by: Warren Campbell
Complex says: Welcome to Snoop's hood: "Where the grass is greener and the Crips are meaner." With its synth stabs and extremely heavy bass, the record doesn't have a bad bounce to it. The verses about growing up around hustlers aren't exciting, but tolerable. It's the awful chorus that makes this one ultimately forgettable.
"Choose"
Produced by: Black Mob
Complex says: Very glossy, '80s R&B sound here. Snoop waxes poetic about choosing "the money, rings, diamonds, and designer shoes" instead of the average lifestyles us normal folk lead. Has a rapper ever done that before?
"This Weed Is Mine" f/ Wiz Khalifa
Produced by: Scoop DeVille
Complex says: Wiz Khalifa has been dreaming of this collabo since he sparked his first E-Z Wider. The song samples Vicky D's 1981 classic "This Beat Is Mine" and swaps "beat" for "weed." Clever. Snoop and Wiz go back and forth, bragging about how good their marijuana is. Snoop references Run DMC, noting: "to burn my kush, you must use fire." And Khalifa talks about smoking bud you can smell "before the bag opens up." Standard fare for two of hip-hop's coolest stoners.
"Gangbang Rookie" f/ Pilot
Produced by: J-Kwon
Complex says: This one features more of a traditional Snoop sound, and subject matter too: weed, bitches, parties. In between the beat's repeated "Snoop" chants, the MC himself takes a moment to remind us how certified he is: "Even Bloods fuck with Cuz/I hit the club, they all showing me love." Then Snoop's 15-year-old protege Pilot shows up for a verse. Sorry, he doesn't take any shots at Diggy Simmons.
"New Years Eve" f/ Marty James
Produced by: Scoop DeVille
Complex says: Another electro-heavy record. Obviously, Snoop & co. want this to be your go-to song on December 31, but the cheesy lyrics and underwhelming chorus will probably prevent it from being a real New Year's Eve anthem.
"Wet"
Produced by: The Cataracs
Complex says: Is this a sequel to "Sensual Seduction"/"Sexual Eruption"? No, but there's enough Auto-Tune and innuendo to make it seem like a possibility. Produced by the same guys behind Far East Movement's "Like A G6," Snoop crafted this specifically for Prince William's bachelor party, but we can see it rocking clubs beyond Wales, too.
-
wow this looks like a malice N Wonderland part 2.... I wont chanrge much they need to call me so i can help them put a great album together.. ToyBox Style!
-
After reading the producer and features im a little more encouraged. Cant wait to hear the Gorrilaz and the Meech Wells tracks.
-
I watched him record that "El Lay" track on ustream and it was pretty sick....looking forward to some of the tracks on there, hopefully hes not done recording and will try to make this album sound more consistent than MNW.
-
I want this Willie Nelson cut!
-
After reading the producer and features im a little more encouraged. Cant wait to hear the Gorrilaz and the Meech Wells tracks.
the meech cut sounded alright the beat was great but the verses were meh wack subject ! it was on ustream while back

yeah the too short verse on this track was terrible....didnt hear daz on it tho :-\ woulda been better just snoop and meech cuz the beat was pretty tight
-
Meech Wells and Snoop again....Hell Yea!!!
just what i thought at first..but then again, meech's production has changed over the years and it is in no way comparable to the classics he did with snoop back then

So i guess the idea of having Swizz produce the whole thing is well an truely been canned? lol
