What can I say? Snoop Dogg is as OG as Lollapalooza is going to get! The Long Beach rapper has been doing this for 15+ years, and though he is pushing forty he still continues to have star in movies and push out radio hits. His 2008 album Ego Trippin’ wasn’t half bad, and the grammy nominated single “Sensual Seduction” (Sexual Eruption on the album) is Tha Doggfather’s fifth Billboard Top Ten single.
I have never caught Snoop live, but I have continued to listen to his albums over the years. The most recent albums typically start off with fun rhymes about pimps and ho’s and of course blunts! But these albums end with songs about being a family man, cleaning up the violence, or helping the Youth Tackle Football League. So it does tend to be a bit hypocritical. Snoop may be humbling with age, but that might not be a bad thing as his legal problems through the years over shadowed much of his career.
But don’t let all of that deter you from seeing him live. He should play both the old and the new hits like "What’s My Name," "Gin and Juice," "Lodi Dodi," "Murder Was The Case," "Drop It Like It’s Hot," and the list goes on. Which means many fans will be able to sing along and have a good time. This show is in a pretty open time slot, so I expect it to be a big turnout to see Snoop Dogg and his entourage (possibly a guy with a green hat) rock the party! Fo shizzle dizzle!
haha great write up.
ReplyDeletecheck out the song "my medicine" Ego Trippin. It is Snoop , but sounds like a Johnny Cash song. That could be confusing, but trust me its a dope song.
