And the winner is….. Rawwwsss by a long shot! I kind of expected Snoop to hit 100k but not bad either way. Joe was originally projected to do 50k, so his numbers are a pretty big let down, but there’s always ringtone sales.
*update* Final numbers are in, and it looks like Snoop took #1 for the week and Joe actually made his 50k mark… well, almost.
So apparently the new thing is to not only not write any of your own songs, but freely admit that in public. For ages people have known that this practice was common, but not many have actively spoke on it… until now:
Back to the album. Initially, there weren’t supposed to be any guest artists on Ego Trippin’. Why the switch?
It just happened. That might be me ego-tripping. The real ego-tripping on this record is that I let people write songs for me.Singing songs? Rapping songs?
Everything.Have you run out of things to say yourself?
Nah. I’m ego-tripping. I was watching Diana Ross getting inducted into a Hall of Fame, and she got up there and named all these great songwriters. Her biggest songs were written by somebody else. So I’m thinking, Wow, there’s nothing wrong with my pen, but I’m going to let other people write for me.
So making music is easier now. But are you a better rapper now, or back in 1993?
I was probably a little doper back then, because I was more into rapping. Right now, I’m into creating a lot of shit. Back then, I was just into rap—the style, the flow, fucking you up, the baddest muthafucka, the coldest vocalist. Now I’m not into that. I can sit back and take a backseat and watch them do a Top 10 hottest rappers right now, and my name ain’t in there, and it don’t bother me.
*Rubs evil goatee* Innnnteresting Snoop… Veddy interesting. I ask you though, what’s the point of a rapper that doesn’t write their own shit? A singer is fine because the talent is in the singing… rapping… the talent is where? The Flow? The delivery? I’d argue both of those, but more importantly, the pen.
Yep. Slippers.
Not only that, he’s launching the line with Soccer player David Beckham. I dunno man… I just don’t know. I’ve gotta respect your hustle, but question your sanity.
“I got David a pair of slippers as a present and he took a picture of him wearing them and sent it to me. I was like, ‘They look cool,’ Snoop exclaimed. “We are talking about making a slipper together. So when I stop rapping and he stops playing soccer, we can kick back and slip on a house shoe.”
Who even sends a nigga a pair of slippers? Might as well send the nigga a dildo and lube and shit. Apparently David’s wife Victoria (AKA Posh Spice) agrees as she was hesitant to let them niggas chill in the first place.
Keep smoking that good shit.
I don’t even know what to say about this shit. We all know what he was doing when he came up with the concept
This whole interview is hilariously funny. Snoop pops up on Jamie Foxx’s show and discusses everything from Superhead to weed. At around 56 minutes in is where he talks about Biggie and Jay. He didn’t mean it negatively, but the nigga does have a point.
The last hour is just filled with funny ass guy-vs-girl arguments. Peep!
