  • www.westcoastdynasty.com

    man snoop is the biggest mistake in this rapworld,he made that western confernce in real. this was an dpg confernce, CROOKED I IS THE BEST FROM THE WEST….

  • NIG

    ICON!!!!!!!!!SOMETHING DIFFERENT THANK U SNOOP

  • Drefan

    Snoop smoked too much chronic and now he’s a weirdo.

  • DevilintheFlesh

    snoop always look like he poor than a motherfucker.

    • squadwildin

      Thats cuz rich niggaz don’t spend they money on clothes bull shit and jewelry. Snoop is wealthy man whether he look like it or not. and snoop is not a weirdo. Youre just gay Drefan. but he do smoke too much

    SNOOP DOGG IS THE MAN. HE BEEN DOING IT SO LONG. HE STILL TIGHT. http://WWW.CDBABY.COM/MRPAIN

  • Memph Raines aka Capital M.R.

    In all honesty I’m glad snoop is willing to be creative enough to step outside the box.Snoop is a icon. Tell me I’mk wrong

  • NEW ORLEANS

    Man I love this Nigga Snoop….Always creative with his Music and this Nigga Style and swag is un-matched…That “SEXUAL SEDUCTION” is off the hook….I KNow alot of U assholes don’t, or won’t like it….BUT THE SONG IS DOPE, AND SNOOP IS AN INTERNATIONAL ICON….

  • ri067953

    Yo, let’s all hope that snoop don’t go producing under the alias “Niggarachi” anymore. His beats were horrible.

    • Big Dick Cheney

      LMAO at ri067953!!!! i didn’t even know he did that. but i think he gave that shit up. If he got ppl writing for him, chances are he not gone fuck it up wit one of his homeade beats. Cant wait for the album…the BLue Carpet Treatment was the shit.

      Secondly rappers should take rap career hiatuses…like not make cds for a long time then come back wit a fire ass cd ten years later….sorta like the eagles(an old ass rock band) did. They 3xplatinum and they still in the top ten albums sells after weeks.

      This one-album-a-year shit that rappers is doin nowadays aint workin…at all.

  • Sway-z

    I feel what he tryin to do, but everytime niggas try something different people hate on it. You say you want change, support artists when they change then

  • Obvious

    Damn Snoop looks extremely unhealthy. Not a good thing :/

  • pause

    snoop is 2 real and i really like his new direction, ur really doin it!! so much real talk in this interview

  • CA is active

    … snoop opened alot of doors for people aside from himself to eat..

    For a fact I bet , half of you wouldn’t say anything directly to his face. Before his people do something foul.

    Snoop put out classics, Doggstyle, Chronic and other Murder was the Case. If you wouldn’t agree you probably didn’t start listening to rap until the 2000s. So your comment really don’t matter

  • Jack

    Snoops the man but he should have other people writing for him.

  • Reel Talk

    This is really funny. These rappers always show you these flashy studios. Let me tell you this, and believe it. You can make the EXACT same music on a lap top with Protools, a USB key board for 99.00 and any mike! Don’t believe the hype. First off, Snoop doesn’t know how to work any of that shit and he can’t write he is all show. Believe it. ANY person can be pulled off the street and rap, trust me. This is HYPE! Rap music is the most phony thing since MILLIE VANELLI! They go to the studio to justify an expense and the studio rips off the labels because NOTHING in that studio is needed for RAP OR ANY HIP-HOP project and I’ll prove it. I will challenge ANY super star rapper and prove I can make the same music with anybody off the street. Call me out if you don’t believe it. The studios use that stuff for Rock and Jazz NOT rap.

    • SO 252 (NC REP)

      REEL TALK YOU A REAL FUCKIN FOOL. YEA YOU CAN DO MOST OF THAT SHIT ON A LAPTOP BUT AN ALBUM CAN NEVER BE MASTERED ON JUST A DAMN LAPTOP!! A MAJORITY OF THE MUSIC YOU PROBABLY CALL REAL HIP-HOP ARE RECORDED IN STUDIOS BECAUSE THERES MORE TO MAKING AN ALBUM THAN RAPPING. A REAL ARTIST HAS GUEST APPERANCES WHICH ARE LINKED TO THE ORIGINAL SONG BY U GUESSED IT THE STUDIOS EQ BOARDS!!WHATS WRONG STUPID DIDNT THINK ABOUT THAT?! SNOOP IS A TRUE ARTIST, SOMETHING YOU CANT FAKE OR PUT A GIMICK TO. UNLIKE YOUR FAVORITE ARTIST WHO EVER THAT MIGHT BE!! OR YOU MIGHT BE YOUR OWN FAN A ASPIRING RAPPER/PRODUCER WHO CANT GET ON!! NOTE KEY WORD ASPIRING!! SOUNDS LIKE HATE AND YOU THE ONE THATS FAKE, MAKE YOUR LITTLE LAPTOP ALBUM SEE HOW IT SOUNDS AND ALL THE BULLSHIT YOU HEAR IN THE BACK GROUND. THEN YOU WILL BE BEGGING TO GET INTO A REAL STUDIO!!

  • beat lover

    YEA MY NIGGA P. KASO IS THE HOTTEST!!!! RESPECT HIM.. YA DIG!

    Hello, and happy New Year

    This email is to Snoop Dog and I pray that he receives it.

    For some reason I accidentally turn the TV on a channel that was viewing a show called “Snoop Dog as a Father.
    We all want to be good parents and this starts with being truthful with every family member within the home. Proverbs 22:6, Ephesians 6.

    The foundation of a family is base upon concrete discipline, been rooted in Gods word to bless and nurture the family and display a since of discipline with our spending habits,with our conduct, and with our language. Proverbs 5:12, 19:18, 22:15, 23:13
    II Timothy 1:7, 3:16, Titus 2:4, Hebrews 12:11.

    Teach their hearts and minds to know God and understand his character now while thy are yet young,and the purpose of being honest especially to their father, because you are a image of your heavenly father.What ever is poured into us as children and allowed, will continue throughout a life span Genesis 8:21, 1 King 18:12, Job 13:26

    The show was unique in it’s own way but the things that were happening around people that you trusted to be your right hand. Be aware of those who I lay my life in the hands of. If you are surrounded with lying, stealing, no discipline, it is similar to setting oneself up for the fall.
    It looks good now I have it going on but make one wrong turn and you will be another Micheal Jackson. Who contributed so much to so many and be lies or truth regarding what happen, the public destruction.
    In conclusion: Be attentive on how you handle your business among your family be accountable with understanding how to manage your money, if children were going into personal location where money is housed just think about what an dishonest rep.,or an account manager and anyone else who has access to your funds. Be accountable,and if you don’t understand how take a class. Be accountable to the kingdom of god by Malachi: 3:6-18, Isaiah: 58:6-14.11 1Corinthian 11-15, emphasis being placed on Chapter 13:11.

    When I was a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child; now that I have become a man, i am done with childish ways and have put them aside.

    The public eyes I train my family how to conduct themselves before the eyes of God, unto men in authority.
    God word to the wise
    is sufficient
    Ephesian 6:10-20
    Happy New Year! to Snoop Dog& Clan

  • king sh!t

    Snoop is the man forever and a day! any nigga that came from long beach, came thru snoop and warren g. niggas disrespected him when he went to no limit, but these grown men need to stop bitchin and do for self! hoe ass niggas like crooked i need to be bottle fed, thats why hes dissin now! at first he said it was suge, now its cuz he aint gettin no respect and recognition from doggy dogg. anybody who disses snoop needs their ass kicked, cuz they were dogg pound fans(and probably still are undercover). crooked i is a good rapper, but pure pussy in the real world, thats why hes 50 deep everywhere he goes, and aint even got a single out. what a pussy. talking that long beach shit, and is from philly or so’m! c.o.b(click of bitches), will never see the light of day. pull the dick out of ur mouth crooked, and get your stuff off the ground. you been off tha row for years, had a weak album pulled off the shelf, twice actually(’02 say hi to the gay guy & ’05 bitch music). get off of doggy doggs dick, hes world renouned, amd niggas dont even know you on the other side of cali, biyach!

  • Kevin Brown

    Snoop Dogg is still the godfather in this rap shit!

  • g stacks

    Is funny how people just dont understand real good music is not about hip hip is music in genareal that make the world go round.

  • Da Franchize

    I can undastand why the nigga snoop want to make music he comfortable makin, he can do that. But I don’t think hip hop is at a good state right now. You just got a bunch of muthafuckas that can’t rap for shit eating off the game, while real MCs bust they ass and don’t get no play. And I ain’t even dissin the south, I’m dissin all these non rappin ass muthafuckas period.

    Snoop Dogg remain one of the best rappers in the history ,i dont think someone will reach his level ,cuz he started from the begining when the hip hop mouvement started ,and he is doing it doggy style,warren g,dr dre for me the best of all the times ,but snoop is playing it differently trying to maintain the old school gangsta with the new innovations ,we are in 2008 man come on ,we are in the obligation to innovate and at the same time preserving the soul of the hip hop, snoop still show us how it is ,sexual seduction is a simple exemple that snoop still the leader , who do u think can make a song like that one,i was freezed front of the tv when i first saw it ,damn how could he create something like this ,what kind of weed does he smoke.
    for all the hatters out there ,snoop dogg is up in this motherfucker and u must know ,that we dont realize the importance of someone until he is gone , so enjoy him while he is still alive ,ong life to snoop from Sad Dogg from MOROCCO.and we still keepin it doggystyle in ur mouth till the wheels fall off.
