Snoop Dogg's Next Album Will Show His 'Loving, Caring' Side.
'It's like the reincarnation and the birth of me becoming who I really am,' MC tells MTV News at South by Southwest.
Maybe murder isn't the case after all? Eleven solo albums into his career, Snoop Dogg insists that fans have yet to see the real him, but on his next album, he hopes to change all of that.
"It's a project where it's more about the element of surprise, but at the same time it'll be talked about in due time," Snoop told MTV News this weekend at the South by Southwest music festival in Austin, Texas. "It's special; it's a real special project to me because it's like the reincarnation and the birth of me becoming who I really am."
On his 1993 multiplatinum debut album Doggystyle, the Long Beach, California, MC became the poster child for gangsta rap, while simultaneously fighting a real-life murder case, which helped add to his mystique. Through the years, Snoop began to slowly back away from that hardened street image and began landing notable endorsements and movie roles. His 2007 reality show "Snoop Dogg's Father Hood" painted the picture of Snoop the family man. And with his next LP, the Doggfather plans to evolve even more.
"I never really knew who I was through the music," Snoop admitted. "I was always a very peaceful, kind, loving, caring individual and making music to symbolize that sometimes never was my key."
The global rap star doesn't elaborate on exactly how the music will change, but it's clear he has an eye toward the future, hoping to ensure some more longevity for himself. "This record, and this project will symbolize that and gives me the opportunity to step into the world of the stadium and then do those kind of songs that last 40, 50 years to go along with what I've already done," he said.

like your sig!
-
Homie I LOVE THEM HOES IN THAT PICTURE CUZZ...with that alone,u ok by me.
-
that's a really good back exercise, just gotta do the reverse to flex it the other way too. and arms should be straight :laugh: 8)
-
Daaaaaaaaamn! Where's that vid from?
Snoop's been having an identity crisis. Does he fuck hoes or suck toes? Is he a lover or a gangsta? Even he doesn't know. That's why I like rappers to just be themselves, forget the stereotypes.
-
crazy how the replies are about the sig, and not Snoop. Man, that's when you're irrelevant. lol
Nah, Snoop forever a legend.
-
ROFL @ Calvin pretending he has a soul
-
just be yourself Snoop
preferably over dope production
-
Sounds like Snoop is having a mid-life crises. Nice sig bro, dig that move!
-
yeah that SIG is CLASSIC. and i hope snoop dont get too soft on this album... ego trippin had some of that soft shit and it sucked.
-
yeah, since everybody is talking about that sig...it's make my dick hard everytime i see it. where you got that from? is it from a porn movie?

Snoop still has atleast 2 more dope albums in him. He just needs to stop with this "for the ladies" bullshit he keeps trying. Get back to your roots Snoopy, I'm rootin for you. But I expect atleast 2 more quality albums (ala Blue Carpet or Top Dogg before he hangs it up forreal).

This is good news. I feel exactly what Snoop is saying. I'll be very interested to hear the album.

Its about time
-
I like the sig,
but i don't like snoop.
monotone voice, always rapping about drank and weed,
and no music sense.
-
marketing ploy....he says some shit like this before every album. if he puts out some real shit, i'll eat my words.

Say goodbye to gangsta rap and hello to Snoop Gone country.

your going to be eating your words. I'm expecting a lot from this album now. Maybe even tracks where he opens up about what he went through with his trial, spreading love to his homeboys, family, opening up about a lot of issues. It may be like a Snoop version of Pac's Me Against The World..........
-
this can be better than what we all expect! i mean what happened to doggystyle part 2 lmao

"Hangs it up"? I'll be damned if he EVER hangs it up! I see Snoop just like the Bootsies & Clintons: he'll hit that stage & play those same songs that made him famous for at least another 20 years!
Rappers are tomorrow's Rolling stones & Kiss & the likes! All those rock & roll grandpas doing their "farewell" tour! Before doing the nexr one! It never stops!

-
he says the same bullshit for every album
i guess all that soft candy pop music has finally got to him

Exactly
-
I'd honestly rather get a new Tyga album.
-
A new Tyga album would be dope. He's had some bangers.

Absolutely. & even though it's not like he's way more lyrical than Snoop, his flow & vibe at this point is miles beyond arguably the worst artist still going at it.

Snoop sucks. Move on.

next time he says he will go back to the hood
