You can stop emailing me, it's here! As promised, we're back with Part 1 of our four-part interview with Snoop Dogg. The interview is available in audio and in text. Check it out below:
Snoop Dogg & Dubcnn - The Interview: Part 1 (http://www.dubcnn.com/interviews/snoopdogg06/part1)
Part 1 touches on his new groups Warzone and Western Union, how and most importantly why he put them together. We also speak about his upcoming solo "Blue Carpet Treatment", and the Boss Dogg tells us that he's taking it back to the West with this one, just the features alone are crazy.
The Dogg is back on the West, and he's ready to shake some things. He makes a huge announcement in the interview in regards of a label, a label he is getting assigned C.E.O. of.
Dr. Dre is a man that we're gonna be talking about alot through the interview, in Part 1 we speak about Dre's work ethic, Detox, 'Break Up To Make Up' and much more.
Of course, everybody wants to know what's up with Snoop Dogg and Tray Deee, so Snoop breaks down the situation, and explains the relationship between them and what had went down.
Snoop ends part 1 talking about artists that used to work with him, that left him, and what the situation is there. The Jayo Felony fans will want to read that.
Be on the lookout for Part 2, where we talk about the Spider Loc/Game beef, unity on the West Coast, the Black & the Brown, Crooked I, Bad Lucc, MC Eiht & Warzone and more.

-
Thanks...
-
Snoop is the undisputed King of the West, no doubt after this interview
I totally get what he's sayin.... not one person can do it, they gotta unify and make people look at 'em, make a push
nice interview, can't wait for the rest of this shit 8)
and god damn that new album gonna be sick with the guest appearances
-
and god damn that new album gonna be sick with the guest appearances
Yeah I hope he gets Quik on there. They have made some very good songs together.
-
dope read... props to the Dubcc staff, lol at the answer about Bishop.. hope there are much about Snoop working (or not) on Detox ...
-
Propz Nima, you the man!! LMAO at Snoop as "King of West" ::) There are sooo many rappers in the west better than Snoopy right now, heres 5 off the top of my head, Yukmouth, Ya Boy, Crooked I, Jayo Felony, San Quinn > Snoop
-
^^^ it's not about who has better skills man
it's about he's taking the time to chop this up, telling the truth about people, and not holding back on shit
he's willing to fuck with everyone and give 'em chances
don't try to make this about who's a better rapper than who, cuz that's not gettin anyone anywhere
-
Whaaaat. Man Snoop seems so disillusioned when he talks about Dre.
"That's why I don't think it's coming out right right now, because don't nobody wanna hear him, not getting high!"
Whaaat :laugh: and that shit he says about people not wanting to hear Dre talking about being sober.
IM 19 AND I DONT EVEN DRINK!! WHY SHOULD I, ITS BULLSHIT! I used to get drunk as FUCK to drown the pain but thank GOD NO MORE.....man what the hell is SNoop on. Think he's on drugs instead of Tray

Yea and I think its cool also for him to do this big interview with dubcnn, but I think all of this "bring back the west" stuff is BS. Snoopy is only doing this too advance himself. Fact is he will continue to work WAYY more with a artist like Pharrell, then he ever will with a Yuk, or Spice, or Celly. Know what I'm saying?
-
good shit Nima! that was dope! Kinda sounded like Snoop was taking some shots at Dre in that interview....When he said he aint fuckin with the west , just busta and his lil aftermath crew...I get the feeling Snoop wishes Dre wanted to work with him more, it sounds to me like Dre aint got time for anyone on the west, even Snoop!
Thats fuckin crazy how Snoop was talking to Nas and wants to do a movie with him...that would be nuts!!!!
Cant wait to read part 2 !!!
-

I thought the exact same thing.
-
why would he need to be ceo of koch west to put artists out, doesnt he have his own label "doggystyle records" on geffen?
-
but Spice, it's because Celly Cel and Spice 1 are nothing to the game right now.... they are irrelevant, nobody knows who they are
these guys are washed up, just like other people say Snoop and Daz n Kurupt are washed up
I get what ur saying, but I bet Yukmouth doesn't even wanna fuck with Snoop...
Yuk seems to have a large ego, I doubt he wants to be a Daz to his Snoop Dogg, ya know?
point is, Snoop is right, he says whoever wants to fuck with him should do it, because without him, no one will be looking for any of these guys
sure Snoop is doing it for his own name, but why would he go out of his way to promote these other people?
like it or not he's TRYING to do more for the West than anyone.... who else in the world do you see doing these interviews and chopping it up and giving honest answers?
sounded like he took some shots at Dre, at least he didn't bullshit and actually said what's up and how he felt
sure, there are a ton of guys better than Snoop right now, but he's the guy with the clout and the name, I agree with lots of what he said
you also need to get out of the fantasy world of checking for Crooked I.... he had his chance to fuck with Snoop, and he chose a defunct Death Row label.... dude lost and he he's payin for it by being irrelevant as can be.... no one outside of California will ever know who Crooked I is
-
The first part is a good read, but I'm thinking part two is going to be on some real shit.
-
real interesting read
that shit he was sayin bout gettin bk in the studio with Jayo braught a smile to my face. Sayin' he thinkin bout puttin his shit out- he needa do that for sure.
look forward to part II
-
Props man...good read.
-
on point sir.
snoop is on some real shit, yes he has a big ego, yes he is into self-promotion he is a f**kin' entertainer afterall but at least he's trying to do something for the west.
on dre, everytime he speaks about dre, he sounds like he's disappointed in him. LMAO at the sh*t he said about bishop but everyone should remember that when snoop runs the show everything is done in a rush and low quality is acceptable when dre does it, it's too slow and it don't come out unless it's dope. it would be nice to have a balance!
major props on the interview
-

Yeah Crooked I has made some bad career moves but he still has time to turn it around, I hope.

Good read.Snoop really is trying to do something for the west.
The "shots" at Dre really surprised me and that shit he said after the Kokane question sounded a lil' bit disrespectful.But it's all good.I'm confident Snoop will bring us some dope music in the future
Oh and once again, huge props for the interview.
Can't wait for the next part
-
I hope he pushes Western Union to the fullest, that is one talented trio.
-
It was a dope interview and I didnt mind the shots he took at Dre as I agree completely with them, but I thought he was real arrogant and disrespectful towards Kokane.

Dubcnn: I feel you. But your new record, is it more West Coast'd out with West Coast features and beats? It's probably gonna be more universal right...
Man that muthafucka is West the fuck out. West the fuck out. When I tell you it's West out, it's West out. I even went and got Brotha Lynch Hung, MC Eiht, Ice Cube, I got Game, everything you want from the West... E-40, Too $hort, from the Bay all the way down!
Daaamnn... that album is going to be sicc 8)

Is it really though?? Snoop doesnt have it anymore, Too Short and Mc Eiht are washed up, Brotha Lynch isnt what he used to be. Its cool to hear Cube and 40 though but newyas if it was 1996 then I wouuld be pumped for this album but right now Im really not.
-
Love it. Nothing but props to the DubCNN team - this is a great read.

Brotha Lynch Hung + Snoop Can't wait to hear that.
-
Snoop's just saying what everybody who isn't blind already knows. The whole reason to even be a rapper is to make money, and out west, nobody makes money but Snoop and Dre. Snoop's just saying he's trying to help some nobodys out who wouldn't be shit without him. It's the truth, people ain't gonna like it but it's the truth bigger than shit. He's the only one besides Dre out west that has maintained a career. Nobody has a career to rival his that's still breathing (pac). Snoop right now can go get on the latest mainstream pop record (pussycats), work with huge legendary musicians (Mariah Carey, etc.) and still put out ghetto ass albums with people on it that you've never even heard of before. Even Dre isn't doing it like that. Snoop's basically running shit, there's nobody out west even a third of his clout.
Edit: Forgot cube

I disagree. I think they all still sound good, even though they're not in their prime anymore. I'm looking forward to this record and I think it's gonna be great. This forum needs a lot more positivity. Snoop's trying to bring that back(minus that shit he said about Kokane)
But hey, we all got opinions. If that's yours then so be it.

LMAO! I know Spice is washed up, your the sad one cause you cant admit the same for Eiht. Spice has always been better than Eiht and still is no but you need to realize BOTH RAPPERS FELL OFF HARD!

Part 2 is coming this weekend....
-
good job.
-
Good read
Looking forward to the next parts
Great work and thanks
-
nigga spoke the truth: niggas like Kokane aint shit without SNoop
but he never really talked about Dre and SNoop doing beats on BCT
-
Does he talk more on Dre, DETOX, maybe a Dre collab on BCT?
props
-
there is A L O T more Dr. Dre talk...
-
there is A L O T more Dr. Dre talk...
nice, again props on the interview
DUBCC really commin through with the shit
-
props to snoop for reaching out... this wasn't through no label or management, this was snoop and dubcnn sitting down and making this happen.
-
its kinda fucked up how he said "the BAY cant stamp a rapper" what about too $hort? is he not worthy enough? but its all good. :(
-
Daaamn Nima, that's some dope shit. Much props, doing it right like always.
Can't front on Snoop, the man's telling it like he feels it. Real cool to hear this talk about getting the West popping, about damn time. And it's pretty much true - nobody else but him and Dre got that power to really put anybody on. At least right now.
And even though I'm confident that whatever Detox turns out to be it'll be good, but I can understand Snoop's take on the matter. The character Dr. Dre that you listened to on the Chronic and on 2001 - that's a really successful character. Snoop's feeling like "if it ain't broke, why fix it?" And that would totally work too - the concept totally worked on The Chronic, it totally worked on 2001, and it would work again if it would be done right (which Dre obviously wants to do). But on the other hand I can also see Dre's side on this, wanting to advance his music and not fuck with the old shit any more. It takes a lot more work than just doing the same concept again, obviously, but you gotta respect the man for wanting to progress his sound.
Be that as it may, whatever would come out - "Detox" or "Break ups to make ups" - I'd want to have it.
Also gotta show love to the fact that Snoop's trying to get everybody involved and get everybody connected with each other. That's some cool shit. And the fact that his new record is all "West West y'all"? Just what I've been wanting from a Snoop record.
Shit, bring on part 2 already! 8)
-
there is A L O T more Dr. Dre talk...
Dope! I can't wait to read it all. Can you briefly tell us what he covers about Dre?
-
props to snoop for reaching out... this wasn't through no label or management, this was snoop and dubcnn sitting down and making this happen.
You guys realize this is a WORLD exclusive you have here, right?! Seriously, I'm not seeing Snoop interviewed on MTV, XXL, The Source, none of those so-called major media outlets. As far as I can tell, DubCNN has the first interview from Snoop before he goes into promoting "The Blue Carpet Treatment" and those various other projects through his labels and management. That is CRAZY when you think about it!
...but yeah, you guys should definitely bill this as a world exclusive interview, and with one of the biggest names in the business. This is why whenever I'm applying for my freelance/writing gigs I always give it up to DubCNN first and foremost...people need to get familiar with this site. On that note, I have a few cool features in the making that I have in mind specifically for the Dub, and that I really need to get on my grind with. I'll hit staff up about this soon 8)
Props again to Nima and the whole staff!
-
Good shit Nima, you done did it again. And props to Snoop for reaching out to us. Dubcnn or nothing baby.
And to the people that said he's taking shots at Dre, I wouldn't call that taking shots if you read the rest of the interview. He's showing nothing but love to Dre. He's just speaking his mind.
-
Good read Nima...
Snoop is getting at niggaz right now and I can respect that..I wasn't feelin alot of comments he made though and some I think may have overstepped some boundries and crossed some lines, like only him and Dre can "stamp" approval & "Niggas in the Bay can't stamp you" & "Then they realised that once they leave me, they ain't shit"...He basically tellin GROWN MEN that they have to follow his lead or else they are gonna be "blacc balled" or they not gonna be succesful at all without him having or Dre having something to do with it....It's plenty niggaz out West that follow their own paths and are succesful on a smaller scale...Everybody don't want the fame and spotlight, and alot of niggaz can't handle or deal with fame...anyway, I see he takin a couple low-key shots at Dre too, but still kinda want to show him a little respect...The "It's like if you dealing with God" comment about Dre, is the mindset of too many people..It helps, but you don't need Dre or Snoop to validate or be succesful on the West...
The new record sounds promising though....Pretty much it's all talk, until something officially happens..I hope all that shit he talking about in the article comes to light and really happens...all that shit sound good on paper, but I'll believe it when I c it...It's cool to see one dude try to take lead, but I don't think he realizes that everybody doesn't have to follow like some puppet.
-
Propz to Nima and Dubcnn...they really came thru with this shit. Snoop said alot of real shit in this interview and he is definitely the one puttin in the most effort in tryin to unify the west and bring it back together as a whole. After this interview if you don't think Snoop is the undisputed King of the West like 'West Coast' said...you are only foolin yourself. Like Snoop said...besides himself and Dre...who else can stamp guys from the west...plus it's evident in which artists Dre prefers to work with now...hopefully Snoop's plan will come all the way thru and that's good news that he is gonna be the CEO of a distribution label on the west coast...that's a big key right there...for an OG rapper to be the head of a distribution label...can't wait for part 2.
Propz to Big Snoop.
-
Snoop will run Koch West into the ground
-
Part 2 is coming this weekend....
^Nice, can't wait... 8)

EXacly how i feel
-
Good read, and I think the next part is going to be even better. Props to Nima!
Snoop Dogg is definatly King of the West.
-
Man great read.. props Dubcnn.. but man.. that was such a tease.. I can't wait to read the rest
-
^^^ it's not about who has better skills man
it's about he's taking the time to chop this up, telling the truth about people, and not holding back on shit
he's willing to fuck with everyone and give 'em chances
don't try to make this about who's a better rapper than who, cuz that's not gettin anyone anywhere
Yea and I think its cool also for him to do this big interview with dubcnn, but I think all of this "bring back the west" stuff is BS. Snoopy is only doing this too advance himself. Fact is he will continue to work WAYY more with a artist like Pharrell, then he ever will with a Yuk, or Spice, or Celly. Know what I'm saying?
I think its true, but i agree with you that he is doing it for himself, but who in the rap game isnt in it for themselves? I mean Snoop Spitting verses on Eastwoods Cd to help him he doesnt have to do that.....Hes the reason Daz and Kurupt got back together. so he has done plenty of positive things for the west coast. Im sure if a Spice or Celly reached out to Snoop he would help them. And he doesnt fuck with Yuk cuz yuk is negative adn always dissing people and he dont wanna fuck with negative people and i love Yuk like you do Spice but you gotta admit that hes negative most of the time, and always beefing with people. Great Read! Cant wait to read the rest!
-
Man Snoop is starting to be my favorite rapper again he finally steppin up to the plate on this whole WestCoast movement he took the baton and he runnin with the shit and as sad as it may sound it takes a legend like him thats still on top to open some of these industry muthafuckas eyes that the WestCoast got a lot of talent and all they do is close the doors on us but fuck that snoop helpin kick them fuckin doors down.....
-
so why are you advertising this interview and not the bone crusher one?
-
Huh? There was a thread for the Bone Crusher interview in the Outbound Connectiions, Inspire conducted it and he put it up...
-
i saw a question thread but i never saw him tell us it was up. maybe i was doing real things that day.
-
Props Nima, dope interview! That was sum real talk by snoop
-
dope interview
but yeah i agree ..looks like he was taking shots at dre and the kokane answer was very arrogant.....you can say that you are the best etc..but when you say that other people aint shit without you its very disrespectful...looks like he is trying to force people to be cool with him..to give him more power
-
Dubcnn: That "Vato" track got some good feedback as well...
Snoop Dogg: We got B-Real on it now, so it sounds REALLY good now!
Dubcnn: He's doing the chorus?
Snoop Dogg: Oh my god! Then I did a remix where I had Diamonique on there, and I got a couple of other Ese rappers that's on there, so we can put that Black & Brown together out here. I keep telling niggas, when you trying to put the West Coast together, it ain't just Bloods & Crips. You gotta get the Mexicans too. If you don't have them it's not gonna be right. We always been fuckin' with them from day one, so you know what it is. And I just put together two more groups!
You guys just love to ignore the brownside, do you?
On the whole, this interview is gonna blow ya ass away. You thought Snoop was gonna bring the west coast back? You're not done yet. You have to wait for the next interview where he talks about the black and the brown, the beef between him and Tray Dee, the Detox album and other interesting topics that were not mentioned on the first post of DubCNN. I know - I have powers.
"There ain't no future in the front" - MC Eiht
Just for kicks: when Death Row was on top, the whole west coast was with 'em. That's why you saw Snoop with every single west coast cat you can think of. Same for 2Pac when he got on plain and jumped shift to Suge's company. Even Eazy-E had his triumphant run when he introduced Bone Thugs-N-Harmony. He was planning to market Brownside and Slow Pain, but those moves got put to a hault when he died of AIDS. I think this is what's happening (hope ya reading this, Dogg):
Snoop Dogg is finally picking up the pieces that Eazy-E left behind.
Westcoastfanatic: who's that girl in the avatar?

Lets be honest about Kokane for a minute. ALOT of people didnt even know this niigga before the Last Meal. They didnt know about Above the Law and the shiit prior to snoopy. In my eyes this nigga snoopy put him on the mainstream. Snoop didnt have to put him on 8 or so tracks on the Last meal. That was love that was shown. I dont know what was goin on behind closed doors but you dont bite the hand that feed you. Snoop didnt have to ante up and spend money on that DoggHouse Allstars record. He aint have to give Bad Azz that Wrong Idea single. Snoop has done an INCREDIBLE job of attempting to lead the west coast in the right direction. I applaud the nigga for that. If it wasnt for him we would hear no Lady of Rage verses, we wouldnt have had a 2nd DPG album in a years time. The Eastsidaz would have never been. Granted there success was limited but i still appreciate the effort. Snoop dont get enough credit for the shiit he has done for the Westcoast. Snoop is still fuckin with these niiggaz that Dre probably wouldnt even speak to. Snoops work gets overlooked because it is not always backed by success. However i enjoy the music my nigga releases. So bigg ups to snoopy.
-
Good shit Nima, you done did it again. And props to Snoop for reaching out to us. Dubcnn or nothing baby.
And to the people that said he's taking shots at Dre, I wouldn't call that taking shots if you read the rest of the interview. He's showing nothing but love to Dre. He's just speaking his mind.
Yeah, exactly. "Taking Shots" and "The Truth" are two different things. He's just speaking the truth. That's not an insult, lying about it would be an insult.

dope interview
but yeah i agree ..looks like he was taking shots at dre and the kokane answer was very arrogant.....you can say that you are the best etc..but when you say that other people aint shit without you its very disrespectful...looks like he is trying to force people to be cool with him..to give him more power
Are you familiar with the ho shit that Kokane pulled the last few years? He's lucky Snoop will even mention his name anymore.

I'm not what happened? I've always been curious about this.
-
I don't think what he said about Kokane is arrogant or whatever... it's the truth
Kokane decided to leave Snoop because he thought his material was never gonna come out, somethin like that....
so that's his fault... and what happened after that? nothing
so.... you do the math and see how wrong it is to say "Kokane is nothin without me right now"
plain as day to see that

Great interview - DubCNN is where it's at!
-
that was a nice warm up, i can't wait for part 2 man
-
is there any mention of Bad Azz in the remaining 3 parts of this interview? He a forgotten man right about now
-
damn i just gotta say props for this interview mang. big shit for the west. and wut........ snoop fuckin with lynch? FUCK YEAH.
-
Big props to Dubcnn :o
Snoopy is definetly the king of the West but if you ask me hes just trying to appeal to the westcoast audience. Here he is talking about all this westcoast rappers he has on the album. But like a month ago on Mtv.com he was talking about having R.Kelly, Neyo, Will I Am, Brandy.... He is one smart mofo.
Im not really to fond of hearing Mc Eiht, Daz and Kurupt on the album. Theyre way past their prime and are washed up. Game and Cube are a different story.
That lil "diss" at Dre was kinda suprising. Everybody knows Dre only fucks with young talents from the West like Game and Bishop and that Dre is always trying to work with new people (not trying to birng that old formula back). He knows that rappers like Daz, Kurupt and Mc Eiht are wack now. Im surprised Snoop doesnt know that.

^^^^ yep here is an Allhiphop article from today
Rapper Snoop Dogg has more than gangsta rhymes in store for fans as he prepares to deliver his upcoming album, The Blue Carpet Treatment.
The album’s title offers a different spin on the traditional treatment reserved for influential people.
"Everybody’s so used to getting the red carpet treatment. I said I’m gonna give you the blue carpet treatment," Snoop Dogg told AllHipHop.com. "You know what it is. It's one of them records that I’ve really been dying to put out, something that’s really me from top to bottom all the way, you understand."
Cameos from Young Jeezy, E-40, Stevie Wonder, R. Kelly, Pharrell, B-Real and Ne-Yo are slated for the album, which will include production from Timbaland, Pharell, Dr. Dre, Frequency, Battlecat and Supafly.
"I thoroughly thought it out," said Snoop, who admitted the new album harbors a deeper perspective on various topics. "Not that the other ones wasn’t right. This is just more to where a n***a is a little older, wiser and know my direction on where I’m going and a little bit more sufficient about what I say now, you understand."
The Blue Carpet Treatment will hit stores in October.
Jeezy :-X, Ne-Yo... most of the WC features gonna end up on the advance I guess
-
^^Exactly what Im talking about.
In the end I hope its a mixture of both. Some Cube, Game, Goldie Loc and some Stevie, Kells, Ne-Yo, Pharrell
-
dope interview
Then they realised that once they leave me, they ain't shit! It is what it is, I say it like that cause I muthafuckin' mean it. Every nigga that was with me, listen to how they sound, and then listen to what they sound like when they not with me. Garbage, horrible. You can't name a hit record that none of them niggas that was with me, that ain't with me now, that they made on they own! That goes for all of them!
*ugh*kokane*ugh*
-
Snoop didn't say "Cameos from..."
MTV said "Cameos from"
Please consider the difference.
-
^^
I don't think that means shit, quite frankly...
-
And Dre ain't stamping nobody... *laughs* Not from the West, if you're keeping it real! He fuckin' with Busta, and all his lil Aftermath crew...
Dubcnn: He got Bishop Lamont...
Yeah but, have you heard a record from Bishop Lamont?
Dubcnn: Not yet.
Not yet... how many years you gonna say that? No, not yet.
ugh this is why i hate that nigga. snoop acts like he's been puttin out west coast artist for years. what happened to Goldie Loc, Soopafly, E-White, etc etc etc?
-
^ true... but who tried... and who aint?
it shows snoop's hearts been in the right place.. snoop wanting to put people out ain't anything new!
i'd say the eastsidaz were the most successful out of that.. but it was always seen as "snoop's group"

Well, Snoop definetly deserves huge props for putting out all these artists, especially Eastsidaz who were great.
But all this talk about Westcoast this, Westcoast that is just promotion for his new album. I bet most of these Westcoast tracks will get cut, which doesnt really bother me beucase most of these artists are way past their prime but a lot of people on this forum gonna be dissapointed,
-
good read
-
Great interview, snoop seemed mad at times about certain issues which to me can only mean good things when it comes to music.

Big props to Dubcnn :o

Well it really dont matter what you think the truth is DAZ , Eiht , & Kurupt could rap better then you and 90% of these new rappers today and make a good album too so there you go .

i like how u sanwiched eiht between daz and kurupt , very clever

Snoop's just saying what everybody who isn't blind already knows. The whole reason to even be a rapper is to make money, and out west, nobody makes money but Snoop and Dre. Snoop's just saying he's trying to help some nobodys out who wouldn't be shit without him. It's the truth, people ain't gonna like it but it's the truth bigger than shit. He's the only one besides Dre out west that has maintained a career. Nobody has a career to rival his that's still breathing (pac). Snoop right now can go get on the latest mainstream pop record (pussycats), work with huge legendary musicians (Mariah Carey, etc.) and still put out ghetto ass albums with people on it that you've never even heard of before. Even Dre isn't doing it like that. Snoop's basically running shit, there's nobody out west even a third of his clout.
Edit: Forgot cube
Props to DubCNN & Snoop
Very on point. Snoop is the only dude in Cali that can give you that stamp now. The Bay can't do it yet, Dre don't wanna do it, and hate to crush groupies dreams, but Game has no pull outside of Cali either. Yeah, Snoop sounded disrespectful speaking on The Eastsidaz, Kokane and all, but he's speaking truths instead of sugarcoating it. Them dudes ain't shit without him, he's completely right. Even if Snoop accomplishes HALF of the things he spoke on doing ( Koch West, The group with Damani, Warzone ), it will be more for the West than anyone's done in years.
And BTW, Snoop has NOT lost it as a rapper. He killed it on the new Pharrell, killed on Go To Church & and he ripped that Put Em on The Set song on CIA. I will be looking foward to BCC, and all of Snoop's future endeavors. I'm convinced that alot of people on here don't even want to see Cali shine. I'mago ahead and support this just to see Cali back on top, and I ain't even from there.
-
^^
Shit, there's the whole United States, the Atlantic Ocean and a good deal of Europe between me and Cali, and I still want the Westside back on top. I just got so much love for the music and the whole vibe they bring.
-
ugh this is why i hate that nigga. snoop acts like he's been puttin out west coast artist for years. what happened to Goldie Loc, Soopafly, E-White, etc etc etc?
He got them dudes feet in the door. You can't expect him to keep more grown men under his wing for how long? He put these dudes in the game, it's there fault if they haven't put out anything decent without Snoop.
-
its kinda fucked up how he said "the BAY cant stamp a rapper" what about too $hort? is he not worthy enough? but its all good. :(
No groupie, Too $hort with LIL JON'S stamp of approval can't even get airplay. What makes your simple-minded ass think Short HIMSELF could stamp someone? Snoop was just speaking the real shit.

yeah, who checking for too short anyway? dude is boo boo. ya dig?
-
Does Snoop talk anymore about DETOX?
-
Yeah, there is some more Detox talk coming.
-
Good interview again but Snoop's hubris is uncanny. Props...
-
Look at nima!all grown up!im gonna send u them blue westcoast thongs u been waiting for 4 so long....good job homie. ;)
-
Propz Nima, you the man!! LMAO at Snoop as "King of West" ::) There are sooo many rappers in the west better than Snoopy right now, heres 5 off the top of my head, Yukmouth, Ya Boy, Crooked I, Jayo Felony, San Quinn > Snoop
yet ainn none of them put it down like the d-o-double....wake the fuck up my nigga,an know the bizz. 8)
-
Yeah, there is some more Detox talk coming.
Dope... thanks
-
props you fuckin did it again... cant wait for the rest
-
Even Jayo Felony, I seen cuzz in San Diego like three days ago, brought him to my studio, we did some music, and now me and cuzz is loved up, and I'm thinking about putting his shit out! And niggas know me and him had problems! You feel what I'm saying? I can get him a lot of love, because he
was willing to forgive me for what I did. Even though I don't think I was in violation, but still, any time contact is made, it's kinda hard to forgive a nigga. So we moved past that, I'm just a changed individual on that tip. Anything from the West, I ain't clashing with you. I'd rather roll with you my nigga! It ain't that I'm scared of you... Somebody just gotta be the bigger fish in the situation, and really make the shit what it's supposed to be!
damn.. i know they were beefin pretty badly! good to see that they moved past it
nima. hurry up and drop part 2 and 3 and four cause this is some dope shit! propz on the interview
-

Can't wait for the part II and for the whole interview. It seems Snoop took time to answer all the question and as everytime he shows honesty and respect, I ain't got nuthin but love for this man, and I'm talking about Snoop as a person, not only in rap he really deserves all the respect !
-
Dre normally gets pissed when he thinks artists are takin shots at him in interviews.
Like with Dupri was talkin shit, D.O.C one time, or when Em showed Dre an interview when Ren said something about Dre not representin the west...
Then Dre starts dissin.
If Dre and Snoop recorded diss records at each other, wow that would be heavy.

LMAO yea never spotted that parallel - we (dubcnn) would be to blame ;) haha - maybe dre will holla and chop it up with us :D
-
Perhaps Snoop was saying that to provoke and try to get Dre to work more with the west?
Hopefully and no doubt the following parts of the interview can share more on how Snoop & Dre are
-
Definitely, Part 3 has a big Dr. Dre part.
