He may not have been the first rapper to stageâ€" but unlike his predecessors (Jay-Z and Wyclef Jean), Snoop Dogg was the first to Crip Walk across itâ€" and he damn sure was the first to have his own custom made “DOGG†mic for the special.
Yesâ€" It was The Dogg’s turn to entice a select audience of the stories behind his music of the past and present. Honestly, I thought the entire special was okay. He did have some shoes to fill due to the fact that the Jay-Z “American Gangster†airing was kind of a BFD at the time, but that was probably because we saw a different side of Jay-Z that the public eye rarely gets to see; while we are all aware that Doggy Dogg has at least some sort of personality.
ANYWAYâ€" that’s neither here nor there.
Although I wasn’t horribly moved by it, there were some highlights to checking out this entire thing, some of which made me even open my Limewire iTunes program to download some songs I previously thought I had in my collection.
To pop things off, Snoop brought out Too $hort and Mistah F.A.B. to perform a joint off of Ego Trippin’ called “Life of The Party†(which at air time is the only current embeddable video circulating the ‘Net.) It’s funny that he says his main reason for doing the song was because his kids thought he did “old people music... [and] not music to make the kids dance.†Weird, how many 10-14 year old girls do you know that DIDN"T try to “drop it like it's hot" when the song came out?
As of air date, that's the only embeddable image circulating the 'Net, but feel free to check the next page for HIGHLIGHTS from the special...
