.SnoopDogg talks new album 'I Wanna Thank Me'
Martha & Snoop’s Potluck Dinner
co-host Martha Stewart , Snoop Dogg is always an entertaining interview. In this particular instance, the aforementioned comments are colorful byproducts stemming from the main attraction: a recent chat at the rap icon’s Los Angeles compound about his 20th studio album, Released today via Doggystyle Records/Empire, borrows its title from Snoop Dogg’s viral acceptance speech after receiving his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
“That particular song took about a year and a half to write because I would always cry, just hearing him sing,” says Snoop Dogg of the song. “I couldn’t catch the groove on this. So I brought in James Fauntleroy to write it. He came and sat next to me, put me in a pocket and coached me … and there you have it.”It's like I'm always filling a void. When I make music, I feel like it's needed because there's nothing like it that's already out.
I also have to educate, elevate and innovate all at the same time. So that was the perspective going in as far as picking the music, making sure the rap selection was right, making sure that the people I collaborated with as far as writing understood what was going on and bringing in Battlecat to mix like 90% of the record because there was a sound, a frequency I was looking for that he knows how to get.
From “Misinformed,” about life and being black, to songs like “One Blood …,” “Let Bygones Be Bygones” … this song connects to this song connects to this song and then to the spirit of the album. I need listeners to be connected. And as you go down the line, you can pick and choose what you like such as the Chris Brown record. But at the beginning, I need you to know that there's a message behind this project. I have a platform and I should never just misuse it.
