The promo tour never ends for Snoop. He took over the stage at Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. Talks about the new album and a special DOGG reading from How The Grinch Stole Christmas. Have a Snoop-a-licious Holiday Season!
Snoop hits up Conan O'Brien to talk about his new album and taking over for Oprah. His point of view, His favorite books, His favorite things: cooking, greenery, and vegetation. Seriously, kids need to be able to come home from school and learn how to make a perfect pot brownie!
Snoop-a-loop makes every girl feel so-so-special, or maybe that's just Pharrell... Regardless, here's a new one from the Dogg with the help of Pharrell and Brandy. Let's just have some fun and be to-getherrrr...forrrreverrr! Mmm love when the homies croon and woo. Press play.
This Thanksgiving, remember to respect your elders! "You see a G/You better know the deal." New video from Snoop for "I Wanna Rock" and he lets all the kids show off, while he presides over the events like a good OG.
Why do OGs get so soft in their old age? Mad love for Snoop, but really? Why in the hell is he serving this weak ass shit?! SMH. Not even worth the play button.
Yeah Snoop said it! Ye better watch himself before the D-O-G-G kicks hims right in the ass! It's great how everyone wants to blame Kanye's stunt on the bottle of Hennessy he took to the face, but let's get real, people, he's made a spectacle of himself each year. And Snoop-a-Loop just isn't down with that, DOGG!
Welcome to Hustlenomics 101, today we learn to get it done by any means necessary. That pretty much sums up Yung Joc’s latest Hustlenomics (Block Entertainment/Bad Boy South)—lying, cheating, stealing, and genuinely being sly are the building block to any successful hustler. And Joc plays an amazing hustler because he sure did a great job hustling the public into thinking this album would make bank.
Between Joc’s southern drawl and weak rhymes about dealing drugs and being the greatest hustler known to mankind, Hustlenomics is packed with much-needed guest appearances from Hip-Hop’s biggest names Snoop Dogg, Diddy, Jim Jones, The Game and Rick Ross. Joc’s collaborations manage to save this album from itself, yet it’s still a lame collection of get-rich quick anthems.
On the Fixxers produced “Cut Throat” featuring The Game, Jim Jones and Block, Joc and his boys brag about kickin’ it with the greatest gangstas from the east to the west coast. Jones outshines the rest of the players on this track with his solo: “You either slang crack/Or had a wick jump shot/Either or there was no between/It was either be poor/Or move coke and feigns.” On “Getting to da Money,” Joc not so cleverly manages to connect the dots of hustling—it’s all about making money. Really? We had no idea. Thanks, Joc.
“Coffee Shop” has already become a summer favorite because of its playful beat and childish, anthem-like lyrics, but Hustlenomics features jumpin’ club tracks like “BYOB” where Joc rhymes over a Neptunes provided, slinky-like beat, “Gotta make the quota/I mix it with the soda/I chop the dope and sell it/With the rings of the Motorola.” Then there’s the R&B flavored track “Livin’ The Life” where Joc tries to show off his soft side for the ladies as he boasts about his hustler ways and player status.
Giving thanks to his mother on “Momma,” Joc unconvincingly attempts to come off as a newer version of Tupac by showing respect to the game and respect to the woman who made him who he is. Hustlenomics features snippets of greatness which comes mostly from guest artists; on “Brand New,” Snoop’s OG status overshadows Joc’s weak chatter. Joc put this album together with a “go get it” attitude, and unfortunately he fails to actually get anything going. This Bad Boy hustler's ideology lacks a strong thesis as to what really makes a hustler; instead, Hustlenomics is a collaborated effort of weak songs with no vision.
