Snoop Dogg "Breathe It In"

So we're getting very close to the 4/20 release of Snoop Dogg's new "Stoners" EP and Snoop is letting some of the music slip out for previews, including this "Breathe It In" record.



DJs, let me know if you need the MP3. Just hit me here or on twitter @DAHITMAN and I can shoot it over.

Snoop Dogg - Doggumentary

The first thing I noticed about the “Doggumentary” track listing was that out of 22 songs, only 4 were done without features. This is becoming an epidemic in Hip-Hop with artists rarely carrying an album on their own weight. The opening track is listed as “featuring Bootsy Collins”, but “Toyz n da Hood” is really a long intro from Bootsy Collins that barely includes Snoop at all. I thought it was odd that Jake One produced the track, but he nailed the Bootsy funk vibe. Is it just me or does Uncle Chucc really sound like John Legend on “Wonder What I Do”? Anyone who has ever dug in the crates will probably recognize the sample ripped from Boz Scaggs “Lowdown” immediately. The producer Battlecat slowed the BPM’s and added some elements, but the rip is lazy and obvious. As far as overall production for the album; I’m interested to dig out all the samples used, as “Doggumentary” is heavy with a lot of different samples used. “Boom” is an obvious rip of Yazoo’s “Situation” which really reminds me of Man Parrish’s “Boogie Down Bronx” (not sure which came first). I’m a fan of sample-based production, but not when it’s just screaming obvious. I would much rather the producers snatch samples from obscure albums and put some effort into flipping the samples into something new – not just recreate an instrumental that is easily recognized. One last tidbit about the production, I found it funny Lex Luger’s “Platinum” almost didn’t make the final cut for the album considering his name has been buzzing so heavy over the last year. Even though “Platinum” is often abused by other music critics, it is one of my top picks from the album.

Out of 22 tracks, I only take 3 away for spins in my mixes: “Wet”, “Platinum” and “GangBang Rookie” which is really highlighted by Jake One’s production and could have been done without the cameo feature from Pilot. “Wet” has a funny background story:

The song was recorded specifically for Prince William's bachelor's party. Snoop's spokespeople bill the song as a sequel to 2007's "Sexual Eruption." Produced by the Cataracs of Far East Movement fame, Snoop spoke of the gift “When I heard the royal family wanted to have me perform in celebration of Prince William’s marriage, I knew I had to give them a little something." He continued, “’Wet’ is the perfect anthem for Prince William or any playa to get the club smokin’."

Overall I am not impressed at all with the album and couldn’t recommend anyone buying this with a straight face. Maybe his west coast audience will take to it since it is definitely geared towards the west coast bounce, but I can’t imagine this album honestly doing well in other regions outside of a couple singles. If everyone would strip away the politics of the game and Snoop’s name wasn’t on this album I think it would flop hard. This will get sales and good reviews on Snoop’s name only. Yeah, I said it.

When I first heard this I wasn't real excited about it, but this is growing on me quick. Who got rollerskates? Let's roll!



I know Doggumentary officially drops tuesday, but the majority of the album has been leaked already over the last couple months.

Snoop Dogg and R Kelly - Platinum

Another leak from Snoop Dogg's "Doggumentary Music" album; "Platinum" produced by Lex Luer and featuring R Kelly. Its funny to me that R Kelly is getting the most props on this one. Snoop went in.

Snoop Dogg - I Don't Need No Bitch

Snoop with Devin The Dude and singer Kobe Honeycutt on the DJ Khalil produced track "I Don't Need No Bitch" from the upcoming album Doggumentary.



I'm ready for Doggumentary to drop awready! One thing though, Snoop has had a lot of material leak from the album so at what point does that exceed the value of buzz and become a problem and impact sales?

Snoop Dogg - Raised in Da Hood

Snoop leaks another record that has me thinking he's going to lead off with the biggest album of 2011. Snoop Dogg - Raised in Da Hood (produced Warryn "Baby Dubb" Campbell & co-produced DJ Reflex).



Make sure you're following Snoop Dogg on twitter @SnoopDogg so you don't miss out on his #puffpuffpasstuesdays

Snoop Dogg - Dirty Dancer

So another record from Snoop's Doggumentary album has leaked out...so far I have like the material leaking out and look forward to Snoop's album. This leak is a funny one though with the reference vocals for Trey Songz.



Once Trey Songz lays his vocals in; I think this has single potential for Snoop. As it is now, it's just funny with the reference vocals.

Snoop Dogg - Gangbang Rookie

Shoutout to 2DopeBoyz.com for this one. Snoop and Jake One team up for the next leak "GangBang Rookie" off Snoop's upcoming Doggumentary album, dropping March 29th



Snoop's flow is hot, but Jake One's production is en fuego! There are so many extra little touches sprinkled into this production that I had to listen a grip of times to pick up on all of them. I love the arrangement of the production, too...and that snare! That snare f*ckin slaps!
