Snoop Featured On Allhiphop

Los Angeles, CA. (Top40 Charts/ Geffen Records) - A decade ago, then-Snoop Doggy Dogg with the help of L.T. Hutton, freaked a Zapp sample for what would become 'Beware of My Crew' for The Line Thin Between Love & Hate Soundtrack. The period found the rapper on a frugal label, taking responsibilities into his own hands to make hit after hit. Following his move to No Limit a year later, Snoop Dogg had the budget and the skillful entourage to never need to worry about beats again. Names such as Dr. Dre, Timbaland, Pharrell Williams, Warren G, Daz Dillinger, Hi-Tek and Battlecat are easily associated with the Long Beach icon.

Now in his mid thirties, the restless rap superstar seems to value self-experimentation once more. Through his Doggystyle imprint, Snoop compiled three stars from distinct movements of Hip-Hop: MC Eiht ('80s gangsta rap), Kam ('90s Pro-Black rap), and Goldie Loc ('00s gangsta rap) as The Warzone. What's more, Snoop, under his N***araci name, produces much of the group's work.

An always relaxed Snoop Dogg jokes around with AllHipHop. Amidst a discussion about producers and samplers, Snoop plays pranks, thanks the Middle Passage for bringing him to America, and spits in 'Chicken Noodle Soup.' Real spit.
