Snoop Dogg — Ego Trippin'

He's slapped his name on as many products as Krusty The Clown and guest-cameoed on more songs than even the meddlesome Diddy, yet there's a reason why the D-O Double G still has credibility — the music. Snoop has surveyed the rap landscape on his ninth proper album and determined that minimizing the guest stars, maximizing the personal reflection...

Snoop Dogg — Tha Blue Carpet Treatment

Snoop's the laziest workaholic ever, phoning in verses from the set of 7th Heaven or wherever he's currently prostituting himself while his homeboys roll his joints and spoon-feed his boney ass apple sauce. Unsurprisingly, the rapper sleep-C-walks through a few tracks on his overly long eighth album, making you wonder if he even has the strength...

Bigg Snoop Dogg Presents Welcome To Tha Chuuch: Da Album

This collection of tracks from Snoop's underground mixtape series opens with one of the rap veteran's most accomplished tracks, a sober, thoughtful reflection on war called "Sisters N Brothers." Too bad it's the only tune on which Snoop takes centre stage. The rest of the record lurches uneasily from hardcore hip-hop to oversexed R&B...

Snoop Dogg —R&G Rhythm And Gangsta: The Masterpiece

Now into album number seven of a decade-plus career, Snoop (a.k.a. Calvin Broadus) has never been sharper. You could say that the gangsta front — there's still an abundance of greenbacks, fine threads, trophy dogs and leggy (subordinate) women — plays off more like kitsch nowadays, but there's some serious material on the boastful Masterpiece...

Snoop Dogg — Presents Doggy Style Allstars Welcome To Tha House Vol. 1

Leave it to Snoop to deliver a bumpin’ P-Funk beat. In Tha House Vol. 1 is the audio equivalent of his Doggy Style porn series and Hollywood comedies — no convoluted themes, just the down-ass dirty shit that keeps people coming back for more. He’s got his crew — Mr. Kane, Soopafly, LaToiya Williams and E-White — out in full force. All have the...

I Fought The Law... For The Week Ending May 27, 2011

A bunch of ex-KISS guitarist Vinnie Vincent's dogs are dead. Really dead. As in not just "playing dead." That sucks, but at least he's not being charged over it. The Battle of the Cloud has taken a different turn: the Recording Industry Association Of America sued business management website Box.net this week because users have apparently been...

Video Of The Day: Snoop Dogg And Willie Nelson's "Superman"

You might think Snoop Dogg and Willie Nelson don't have much in common... other than their love of pot, of course. But you're wrong. Both of them are hilarious, and they teamed up for a tune called "Superman" on Snoop Dogg's new Doggumentary album. The most awesome thing about it? Snoop sings instead of raps! Check out the video, which has some...

I Fought The Law... For Dec. 6, 2010

Willie Nelson has avoided being charged with felony marijuana possession stemming from his Nov. 26 arrest in Texas. He's just been hit with a misdemeanor, which is a good thing because it means 77-year-old Nelson won't be going to prison even if he's found guilty. (It's worth noting other websites are reporting he could get a maximum of one year...

Snoop Dogg Supports Toronto Maple Leafs Because Logo Looks Like Pot Leaf

If you know even the teeniest thing about Snoop Dogg, you know he's got a massive love for marijuana, the chronic, ganja, skunk weed, or whatever else you want to call it. Snoop's often smoking it on stage, and hell, he called one of his own tours Up In Smoke. Now, Snoop's told Nardwuar The Human Serviette that his love of the Toronto Maple...
