I dont see the problem. snoop is a smart man and making his money like he should do.
Shit most of the mc’s out now don’t write there own lyrics,,,,,,do your thang Snoop!
go for it Snoop….I was tired of listening to your whack azz nursery school rhymes anyway! LOL!!! Just kidding…..wink wink
well done for him admitting he’s big enough to let others shine. Snoop is Snoop he doesn’t have to prove himself to anyone and he knows that
that is why the game is wack..cats do not know what it means to be a MC….Snoop is dope , but he did grow up knowing what hip hop is..He is just like that wack ass lil wayne!..just trying to be an opportunist!…White kids respect there music, yet we do not respect it..Hell we do not respect ourself or our people!..Now you know why Nas album Nigger has to come out!..Wake up LA Reid and release the album! Hip Hop needs it!
The Dogg can write his own stuff, half the time he does it off the dome, but this trip he felt the need for other writes to write for him. Hell, some of the best songs ever written was written by someone else. Ask Holland Dozier Holland of Motown, ask Ashford and Simpson of Motown. He’s just putting some songwriters to work that’s all and that’s what I call lookin’ out.
nuthing wrong with dat Snoop. Do you thang!
damn thats wack…i hope its better than the bitch as mainstream hip hop that is out now tho
alot of people are doing that now. Let others write give yaself a break.
this is wat i say about hiphop these days….there is nothing wrong with someone else writing ur stuff….u are the artist and ur fans want to see u put out good music…so go ahead if thats what makes them happy…rappers be trully ego trippin…yappin this and that if another person writes for them….fuk …if someone else wrote for most these famous rappers, they will be puttin out more classics for our ears….big up to snoop…he’s a legend anyway….so he can say what the fukk he wants or do what he wants….u can drink piss and die if u dont like….its hiphop….hipho is a form of art
Snoop’s already established..his track record speaks for himself…he can have ne-yo, dream, jay-z, wayne do his whole album…its just his swagger of things
if dream or wayne write his album then i can already tell you its going to be garbage
No, he has the Quikster (D.J. Quik) and somebody else. I forget.
who gives a sh*t…..songwriters get paid, stars get remembered.
the game is the game.
we all know snoop is talented..
hes been strong in the game for years,…
why not fall back and let others give you some help—especially when everyone knows its not a need—its a want…
why not???
this is not a problem… He has probably been developing some artist over the years who aren’t quite ready to release their own album… but they still need to get paid… Maybe this is his way of keeping his employees(artist) happy… That money split is 50/50 (Writer/Performer).
alot of MC’s have had their songs written or gotten help, this is a choice he made, not something he had to do so it’s cool.
