Robin Thicke, Are You Trying to Seduce Us?
Robin Thicke | MySpace Music Videos The man can work the falsetto. We’re actually kind of dying to hear it again alongside Lil Wayne, who may well be the next to join a list of guests that includes Jay-Z, Estelle, Kid Cudi and Snoop Dogg.

Lady GaGa Takes Slow And Steady Route To The Top
Basically, what we see above is the record industry doing what it has always done: adapting to the new rules of the game. The shift to a Hot 100 dominated by iTunes was seismic, and it took a couple of years for label promotional teams to adjust to the new reality. By 2008, they had it down to a scie...

MTV And Snoop Dogg Cut Out The Middleman [The New Model]
When Van Toffler and I sat down Boss to Boss, a global quintuple threat takeover was masterminded. As the world of entertainment keeps changing, we felt it was the right time to let Snoop Dogg back on MTV so we could continue to run thangs with music, movies, DVDs and bring Hip-Hop to Rock Band....

The "TRL" Finale Will Mark The End Of Pop Culture As We Know It [Mariah's Bringing Ice Cream]
We've already mentioned the imminent TV return of Jesse Camp thanks to this Saturday's TRL finale, but somehow this momentous occasion keeps getting bigger and better—so much that the network tacked on another half hour to the program. (Be bold, MTV! Make the TRL finale one of those 24 hou...

Dr. Dre Imagines A World Where "Detox" Is Actually On Shelves [Allegedly Upcoming Releases]
If that happens, it will come nine years after his six-times-platinum 2001, which was itself a long-awaited follow-up to his revered 1992 debut, The Chronic. That album's bass-fueled G Funk sound dominated rap for years and propelled Snoop Dogg to superstardom. Both albums raised the ba...

Does The "New York Times" Have A Double Standard When It Comes To Hip-Hop Artists' Stage Names? [Government Names]
Even more confusing are articles that seem to follow no logic whatsoever: a December 3, 2006, Times profile on celebrity Sirius Radio hosts refers to rap personality Ludacris as Christopher Bridges (and as "Mr. Bridges" in subsequent references), but allows Eminem (Marshall Mathers)...

Snoop Dogg Pimps That Country [Videodrone]
Maybe it was too built up in reviews of Ego Trippin', but after hearing Snoop Dogg's new country single, "My Medicine," I can't figure out why anyone would look forward to hearing it unless they were being forced to review the album and pining for novelty. While it might be striking to hear Sn...
Pete Wentz Brings Music Back To MTV, Keeps Network's Celebrity Glorification Quotient Intact
As Dan Gibson noted in an IM to me, it's hard to not at least appreciate the effort; surely every reader of this site has made the "lol, MTV doesn't show videos anymore" joke at least once in the past five years. The live-performance aspect of the show was also noble, and having Snoop Dogg and Pa...

A Project X Family Reunion
Brittany: He sounds like Frankie J, who was part of the Cumbia Kings and hten broke off from them and did English [language] songs. There's a song called "Obsesion No Es Amor" that he turned into an American hit called "Obsession." It was pretty good. [indicating "Sexy Can I"] I could tolerate...

Snoop Courts The Lucrative ABC Daytime/Hip-Hop Fan Market
I'm not sure why Snoop Dogg appeared on One Life To Live today, but that he seems to be having a good time, performing "Sensual Seduction" at Llanview's most jumpin' nightclub and buying drinks for the bar on Bo Buchanan. Timbaland appeared on the program earlier this year as well, and I hear...

Former Amateur Pimp Snoop Dogg Is Free To Return To Britain [Gangbangers And Mash]
From the Rolling Stone article "America's Most Lovable Pimp": "I made sure my bitch would never talk shit to me. She always got all the money upfront, she never looked in another pimp's eyes, she kept her head down. But I wasn't a gorilla pimp where I was beatin' the girls up. I was more finesse wi...

Opinion: Snoop Dogg Gets An Extra Letter Grade For A Time Cover
Nearly every week, we used to round up the all-important, all-summarizing last sentences of the biggest new-music reviews. Today's triumphant return is for the album with the song for that video you liked a few weeks ago: Snoop Dogg's Ego Trippin', which hits shelves today:

It's Time For A Good Old-Fashioned Flo Rida Vs. Norsemen Smackdown
Stuff to Watch: Rather than dedicate this last bit to songs on the rise, I'll just point out a few that are on the wane, some more surprising than others. Soulja Boy's "Crank That" is finally, blessedly out of the Top 20 (down 10 spots to No. 25)—amazing how long it's taking to disappear. Kanye We...

Internet Assholes Almost Cause Nate Dogg To Have Second Stroke [Get Well Soon]
The offending quote: TMZ has obtained the 911 call that was made after Nate Dogg -- cousin of Snoop Dogg -- suffered what was described as a "heart attack" ... and you're not going to believe how nonchalant the caller is! It sounds like she's calling in about a hangnail -- not for a guy whose life'...

Heckuva Job, Brownie: Chris B. Has A Good Week On The Hot 100
The two most encouraging movers are at Nos. 12 and 13, where Snoop Dogg's "Sensual Seduction" and Rihanna's "Don't Stop the Music" move about a decile each. Both tracks are growing in digital sales and radio airplay, but the big driver for one song is the opposite of the other's.

As even the New Yorker finally gets on board ... [Snoop Dogg]
As even the New Yorker finally gets on board bed with the video for "Sensual Seduction", let it be known that "there's no contest, according to Snoop Dogg: He can sing way better than his close friend Diddy." Uh, whether talkboxed, Autotuned, vocoded, or straight-up, was this ever really i...

"Pitchfork" Thinks LCD Soundsystem's "All My Friends" Is Something Great [Year-end Analysis]
THE WHAAAA? Pitchfork's (institutional) embrace of the pop charts is still so odd. (That it was one of the weakest years for American pop in my living memory notwithstanding.) For instance, nothing by Lloyd, Ne-Yo, Amerie (who they favorably reviewed, even if she scored no American hits t...

Remembering A Time When Snoop Dogg Was Intentionally Cartoonish
Snoop (and Dre) jack [Parliament's] beats, then get Snoop's cousin, or whoever "drew" it, to "bless" his debut's cover. But wait, there's more! The liner notes feature a comic by the cover-artist, which is also awful, but somehow endearing. And the comic introduced me to the term "hocus po...

Snoop Dogg's "Rolling Stone" Cover Probably Won't Help His Case
It's been less than 24 hours after Snoop Dogg was arrested for possession of cocaine, marijuana, and a firearm, and Rolling Stone has released the cover for Friday's issue—which features a very airbrushed shot of "America's Most Lovable Pimp" (ugh) smoking a giant candy cane. Talk about...
