Snoop Dogg- Blue Carpet Treatment News from Vibe.com

[d-nice]

Early last year, Snoop Dogg held a West Coast peace summit to unify all California MCs. More than a year later, Snoop proves he’s a man of his word. Chuch.

On his new album, the Blue Carpet Treatment, Snoop takes it back to the streets and shows plenty of West Coast unity.

In the midst of serious violence on the Left coast between Blacks and Latinos, Snoop shows solidarity by bringing in Cypress Hill’s frontman B-Real on the track, “Vato.” The term “Vato” is Mexican slang for homie or homeboy. The song also features a guest appearance and production from Pharrell Williams of the Neptunes.

Snoop also brought in The Game for a special cut entitled, “Gang Banging 101.” Snoop, who is a well-publicized member of the Crips and Game (a Blood), take turns exclaiming each respective gang’s street call on the hook. “Gang Banging 101” also marks the debut of *****racci, Snoop’s new alias.

Snoop also shows love to the ever growing Hyphy movement, as he collaborates with E-40 and producer Rick Rock on a song called, “Candy.” The song also features West Coast veteran rappers like Daz and Kurupt, MC Eiht and Goldie Loc of the Eastsidaz.

Later on the album, super producer Timbaland concocts a dark resounding beat for Snoop on, “L.A. Zoo” and R. Kelly croons on the hook to, “That’s That Sh*t.”

Keeping up with the tradition of having an ultra smooth cut with Pharrell for the ladies on his album, Snoop has Skateboard P and songbird Brandy exchanging lines on, “So Special.” Brandy asks Pharrell to tell her how special she is and P lets her know, while Snoop spits charming lines like, “To me, I see you as a gift.”

The Blue Carpet Treatment, which is due in stores in October, also features a guest appearance by the legendary Stevie Wonder on a remake of a song called, “Have a Talk With God.” The song was recorded a year ago when Wonder brought all his producing equipment into the studio to make the song with Snoop. The album may feature production from Snoop’s longtime collaborator Dr. Dre, as the two men got in the studio last month.

Following the October release of Blue Carpet Treatment, Snoop is scheduled to release The Adventures of The Blue Carpet Treatment animated DVD in November and a new full-length album/soundtrack for his movie A Woman’s Touch in February

anticipating this album, it cant be worse then R&G , looks like there's gonna be some soft songs but you can't be hard 24/7, he still makes street songs for his fans so that's a good balance, let's hope it turns out good
