Earlier this week, Snoop Dogg said that his next album will be called Big Snoop Dogg: Paid the Cost to Be the Boss. He may not be the boss of the box office come Monday.
The comedy "The Wash," which opened on Wednesday, pits Snoop and co-star Dr. Dre against the imposing "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone," which opens Friday (November 16). Snoop isn't stressing the stiff competition.
"I keep hearing about mutha----ing Harry Potter," Snoop said. "I'm like, 'Who is this mutha----er I keep hearing about?' I don't know him, but I do know this. Dre and Snoop, we've got a following that's definitely dedicated and devoted, and that's all that matters.
"We're gonna crack a new audience, because I've been doing a lot of acting lately, and I've been gaining a new surplus of fans in the movie world," he added. "I think they'll see 'Harry Potter' and 'The Wash.' You never know."
Snoop won't be one of those people, however. "I'm not spending a dime on 'Harry Potter,' " he said. "I'll take [my kids] to go see 'The Wash,' and that's just how it is. They might have to wait to get ['Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone'] on DVD."
Fans won't have to wait as long for more information on Big Snoop Dogg: Paid the Cost to Be the Boss. The Doggfather has been tightlipped about the record, only divulging that Kid Rock guests on one track (see "Kid Rock Is Cocky, Calls Out 'Your Mama' With Snoop").
However, producer Michael Angelo Saulsberry let one of the Dogg's cats out the bag and said that Snoop has a track called "Whatever" that will be hitting clubs soon.
"It [has] a real interesting hook," said Saulsberry, who also produced two tracks on Faith Evans' Faithfully, including "You Gets No Love." "Homie is talking about people talking about him on the street. So in the hook, he's just being sarcastic. He goes, 'Whatever, whatever,' but he's talking [really properly].
"The beat ... it's got a little Parliament, but it's really beat and bass. It's mid[tempo] to fast. It's for the clubs. Everybody's been saying he's really back on this one."
MCA, which is distributing Snoop's album, said the LP does not have a release date yet.
Pretty much what I been saying...
Bow wow wow yippe yo yippe yay bow wow yippe yo yippe yay!
Yeah, you know I'm having trouble picturing gangsta rap fans with an affinity for magic fantasy books and movies with Brit sounding actors.
Maybe here in California...
Ill be listening to the new North Mississippi All-Stars by that time, and when I am driving, you will be too...:-)...JFK
To me that's scarier than Harry Potter could ever be...
Such a way with words this dude has. Almost Shakespearesque.
I speak jive , maybe I can help!
Essentially, I said that Snoop maintains his sense of self despite the pressures and temptations of fame and money. He is well-schooled in the romantic arts and has won the affection of many a lady. Indeed, despite his hardcore image, he does not put on airs of a "gangsta rapper," he simply is one and also an independent and eligible bachelor who enjoys the lifestyle afforded him by his money.(that'd be the fakin jax part)
His songs are paeans to style and sincerity and fun. What I have said up to this point, I stand by, as it is the truth
The movie has a catchy title but I doubt if most folks want to see a film about life in a dog pound.
decarlo, what's that ebonic term you mentioned which was meant "stylin'" in a gaudy, diamond festooned manner?
