Data Insight
Snoop Dogg raps his own verses across this album, which leaned back toward his West Coast roots after the pop crossover of his previous record. The production spreads across a deep bench: Dr. Dre handled tracks including 'Boss' Life,' 'Imagine' and 'Round Here,' The Neptunes produced 'Vato' and '10 Lil' Crips,' Nottz produced the R. Kelly collaboration 'That's That Sh*t,' and Timbaland handled 'Get a Light.' Guest verses pull heavily from West Coast peers including Ice Cube, The Game, B-Real, E-40, Daz Dillinger and Kurupt, alongside R. Kelly, Akon, Stevie Wonder and Damian Marley.
Snoop's eighth studio album, released November 21, 2006. Returning to a grittier, more West Coast-leaning sound, the album features production from Dr. Dre, The Neptunes, Timbaland, and DJ Battlecat. It debuted at number five on the Billboard 200. Notable tracks include 'Vato' (featuring B-Real), 'Boss' Life' (featuring Akon, produced by Dr. Dre), and 'Conversations' (featuring Stevie Wonder, produced by DJ Pooh).
