2Mex Sounds off on Snoop Dogg Name Check

    Snoop Dogg shocked many people when he
    dropped My Peoples. The track not only served as a preview of The
    Blue Carpet Treatement
    , but also as a means to unify the West
    Coast. The song, which name checks various Western emcees, mentions LA
    underground vet 2Mex by name in the closing shout
    outs.

     

    “We were fu-king buggin’ out, man…Snoop
    Dogg
     is obviously an icon. I personally have a lot of
    love for
    Snoop anyway. I don’t give a f-ck if
    he gives me a shout out or not, I like that shit…We took that as a sign of
    him really trying to put the West together,”
    he told DX about
    the song.

     

    “I have an East Coast rapper friend of mine
    that was like ‘Yo, honestly Rakim would never give us a shout-out. That Snoop
    Dogg sh-t is dope because on the East, nobody would do that.’ So, I was
    really excited to hear that sh-t,”
    he added.  

    Currently, 2Mex and The Visionaries
    are getting busy with new projects. The crew is prepping the release of We’re
    The Ones (We’ve Been Waiting For)
    which 2Mex told us may
    be released October 3.

    The Look Daggers, his collaboration with
    Ikey Owens
    of Mars Volta is also done and gearing up
    for a release date. That album may come out January 2007.

    His verses can be found on everything from his
    rock-influenced mix tape to various collaborations across the nation. But, he
    is currently looking for a home that will release his next solo LP.

    “Now that I got all the producers on deck, I just
    want to put out the biggest 2Mex record ever. I just want to do it right.”

    So, will he holler at Snoop for this?

    “I don’t know. That was a possibility. That’s been
    my problem. I never holler at nobody, man. It’s hard for me to be like ‘Here,
    sign me, please.’ I never did that shit. So, I don’t
    really know…I’ma a figure it out. I’m the kind of dude that doesn’t even
    make a demo. I just be like, ‘If you trust me, pay me and I’ll show you what I
    make.”
