Rapper
Snoop Dogg has more than gangsta rhymes in store for fans as he prepares to deliver
his upcoming album, The Blue Carpet Treatment.The
album’s title offers a different spin on the traditional treatment reserved
for influential people. "Everybody’s
so used to getting the red carpet treatment. I said I’m gonna give you the
blue carpet treatment," Snoop Dogg told AllHipHop.com. "You know what
it is. It’s one of them records that I’ve really been dying to put out, something
that’s really me from top to bottom all the way, you understand."Cameos
from Young Jeezy, E-40, Stevie Wonder, R. Kelly, Pharrell, B-Real and Ne-Yo are
slated for the album, which will include production from Timbaland, Pharell, Dr.
Dre, Frequency, Battlecat and Supafly. "I
thoroughly thought it out," said Snoop, who admitted the new album harbors
a deeper perspective on various topics. "Not that the other ones wasn’t
right. This is just more to where a n***a is a little older, wiser and know my
direction on where I’m going and a little bit more sufficient about what
I say now, you understand."The
Blue Carpet Treatment will hit stores in October.
