Snoop Dogg Previews “Doggumentary,” Explains Why It’s Not “Doggystyle 2”

    Long Beach, California emcee Snoop Dogg will release his eleventh studio album, Doggumentary on March 29. The superstar previewed the album at Hollywood’s Capitol Records Studios on February 18, with Billboard.com in attendance.

    As the rapper hosted a catered and open bar event, he explained the album’s creation and songs. The release itself surprised some, as Snoop had been publicly telling fans and media that his next album would be a sequel to his 1993 multi-platinum debut, Doggystyle. That project may be scrapped, as the Doggfather explained his thinking in the closing months of 2010. “I thought, let’s put the two G’s there and make it more,” he added,” versus recreating a Doggystyle, Part 2. It’s just me doing me.”

    Doggumentary reportedly includes updates of hit 1970s songs made by Boz Scaggs and Randy Newman, along with appearances and production from Kanye West, Wiz Khalifa, Scott Storch and Willie Nelson.

    1. His answer made no sense…WTF??? Well he sucks anyway, so “and I quote” (The Rock) IT DOESNT MATTER what he calls his album!!

      1. stop hatin cuzz get yo paper level up to where his $$$$$$ is and then u can talk that hoe shit!!!!! u haterz kill me always cryin like a bunch of broke bitches

    2. i’ll tell you why he didn’t name it doggystyle pt.2 … cuz with a name like that its gonna have to live up to doggystyle…which in no way will it.

    3. Damn, no respect for an OG…So many people in the game you see come and go….ever since Snoop hit the scene, he aint left. He’s not the most lyrical emcee….he’s Snoop…OG plain and simple…all you little kids got NO respect.

      1. Nobody else has made a album as good as Doggystyle either. Maybe only Jay-Z, Kanye, and 50 first cd. Do that mean nobody else is good?

    4. Doggystyle came out when gansta rap was it. Nothing else. East v. West. Now its hip-hop with bling and random noises. Can’t g.boogie with todays music.

    5. I’m glad he didn’t fucking use that Doggystyle 2 as his title, how are you gonna have Doggystyle 2 without any Dre beats, just wouldn’t’ve made sense. I’m like 95% sure that Doggumentary was gonna be his 3rd album if he would’ve stayed with Death Row

    6. Can’t make a Doggystyle 2 until Nate recovers. Hopefully by then DOC’s operation will be successful and we can get an epic Snoop Dogg, DPG, DOC, Dr Dre and Nate Dogg track

    7. yes he was supposed to realease doggumentry early 1997 but we all know what happend in that era… i remember him being at the magic johnson talk show(i might you tube just to make sure im not tripping) talking bout doggumentry compilation album coming out that was suppose to be the start of his doggystyle records… damn if it would of happend it would of been dope(things happend for a reason)… but im glad they released that lbc crew album not so long ago

    8. there’s only one reason why he cant do doggystyle 2-he doesnt have that kind of hunger anymore, and the expectations would be too high, he doesnt have that hunger, rhyming skills and writing ability as he did then, lets be honest..but he is still a cultural icon..
