Snoop Talks About New Album



Snoop Dogg's next album will according to him, have no guest appearances. In a recent interview, Snoop let loose saying he wanted the album to have a "personal feel" with the listener.

"Me and Pharrell [Williams] went into the studio last night, and we're gonna start on this album called Ego Trippin'," the Dogg revealed last week in New York. "I'mma do the whole record, me by myself. I don't want no guest rappers, no singer, nothing. Just Snoop Dogg. I want you to feel me. When I think of all the greats before me ... I bought Rakim's album the other day for the hundredth time, no guest rappers. I bought one of KRS-One's albums the other day for the hundredth time, no guest rappers.

"You lose focus after awhile when you're doing an album," Snoop added. " 'Snoop, you got a new album coming out. Who's on it?' I'll be like, 'I got him on it, him on it, them on it.' When it's time to do the video, they'll do the video with me, but when it's time to do a show with them, 'Oh, I got a show in Germany,' or, 'I got to be in Paris.' You're left one-legged. Now it's time to show artists. Can you handle the whole weight? Do you got enough to do it on your own? Did you put yourself in a position where people love you for you or for being associated with people? This record, I'm seriously ego-tripping like, 'I don't want you on my album. Nah, I don't need you.' "

Definitely an interesting move from Snoop, something which we'll definitely have to be on the lookout for. Hopefully he'll stick to his word.
