[edit] 'Confirmed' Tracks

Don't a few of them kind of contradict what is quoted in the the opening paragraph, about Snoop not having any quest appearances? Maybe this should be looked into more thoroughly...? -- Harish - 01:31, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

I have read the source, and as far as I can tell, it says he has those songs, but yet he says this album will be just himself. I don;t understand how that means they will be on the album? --JpGrB 22:08, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

Snoop Dogg said himself that he had recorded a song with Pharrell, Nelly and Charlie Wilson called "Feet Don't Fail Me Now". It says in the article that I used as a source. And as for Madonna, Bono and Mick Jagger, those are just on his wish list so I didn't add anything like that to the "confirmed tracks" section. Darius20 (talk) 22:23, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

I understand that, I read the source, but just because he recorded it, doesn't mean it will be on this album, especially since he has stated multiple times, this album will be just him. --JpGrB 22:34, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

Today I viewed complete track list on iTunes store, can we put it into the article? Ferrumoff (talk) 00:16, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

When discussing iTunes in a tracklist, I like to consider this. --JpGrB 00:18, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

The only reason the "Curtis" problem happened on itunes is that they came out with the pre-order and then it got pushed back so 50 could change and make more tracks since the AR told him they did not like it.-signed ba11innnn

[edit] [Snoop Dogg Previews Ego Trippin' For David Beckham And Friends]

[1]

LOS ANGELES — Could Snoop Dogg's smile get any wider? Definitely not. The legendary rapper just got the stamp of approval from one of the world's greatest and best-known athletes: David Beckham.

Yep, their friendship isn't something made up just for the Dogg's E! reality program, "Father Hood."

"I have all of Snoop's albums, and that's definitely one of his best ones," one of Beckham's associates enthusiastically said to Snoop's business partner, Ted Chung, as he stepped outside of the control room where the new LP, Ego Trippin', was playing. Beckham, Arch Bishop Don "Magic" Juan, Snoop and a host of the Dogg's friends were still vibing inside.

"I ain't no groupie or nothing, but that n---a there is the biggest thing to hit L.A. since Shaq," one of Snoop's homies said of the soccer superstar minutes later, leaving to get his digital camera. No way this moment wasn't going to be captured.

After a round of photos Beckham and company left.

"I'll see y'all later, Church!" Beckam said to Snoop.

Ego Trippin' comes out next month, and indeed, Beckham's friend's summation that it will be a gem in Snoop's legendary catalog didn't seem off. The Long Beach, California, rapper turned the album in to his record label Friday and still couldn't get enough of it that night. He gave it one more spin as his friends DJ Quik and Teddy Riley arrived.


"We're known as QDT," Snoop later told MTV News, sitting next to Quik and Teddy. "Compton's finest, if you ask me. ... We've always played for the same team, we just never wore the same uniform.

"Before I was making records, I was buying [Riley's] records," Snoop said. "I was inspired by the whole movement that he had with the New Jack Swing and the R&B records from Al B.Sure, and Keith Sweat ... He's a guy that you sit back and wait for his records to come out, so you can see what you're going to do next."

The three legends have officially forged a musical friendship, kinship and business partnership. QDT want to work together the way Timbaland and Justin Timberlake make albums together and have gone to write, produce and cameo on records for other artists.

Their first project is Ego Trippin It started out simply enough: Snoop called in DJ Quik — who has some of the best ears in the business — to mix for the album's early recording sessions. Meanwhile, Riley — who'd been on a year-long sabbatical — met Dogg at the VH1 Hip Hop Honors, where Snoop asked Riley for some beats. He went home and started making a myriad of tracks. Snoop loved the three he heard, and everything blossomed from there.

Riley was given the task of coming up with Ego Trippin's second single, a follow-up to the monster track "Sensual Seduction."

"We redid Morris Day and the Time's 'Cool,' " Snoop said with a smile. "People are gonna trip when they hear how I'm singing on there. Teddy had me sing the whole thing by myself."

"Coooool. Ain't nobody bad like me," Doggy sings on the track. "I got diamonds on my fingers and a couple on my toes. ... I'm just cool. So cool. Ain't nobody bad like me."

Elsewhere, on what will probably be another single, tentatively titled "I'm Alright," the vocal duties are shifted to Raphael Saadiq. (It seems Snoop went back on last year's promise that he'd have no guests on this album.)

"I'm alright, I'm alright, we allllright./ ... Waste of time, go your way, and I'll go mine." The record is about Snoop 86ing a girl.

In the studio, Dogg started dancing, rhyming and sliding on the floor to the sounds of his own music. Don Juan got up and joined in with his own moves. Out of nowhere, Ray J popped up. But that's far from random: Snoop has more famous friends than a dog has fleas, and everybody's welcome to join him.

They just might serve as a muse to one of his rhymes.

Me and Leonardo DiCaprio," he raps on a song called '"Hollywood Nights."' "He keep a bad ho. I keep a bad ho."

Pharrell Williamsand Too Short also contribute to the LP. This time around, not only did Snoop get people like Shawty Red to write his song lyrics, he brought in a team of aspiring MCs to pen his rap lyrics too.

"I'm into giving people chances," he explained. "They wrote what they thought Snoop Dogg should be saying. It turned out wonderful."

Maybe he should have named the project I'm Not Ego Trippin'. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Squizzy74 (talk • contribs) 05:57, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Real or fake?

There is a supposed cover image for this album here. Is it real or fake? Rappingwonders (talk) 19:58, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

Ridiculously fake. I will talk to my contact at the label and see if I can come up with the legitimate cover.--InDeBiz1 (talk) 20:52, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

LOL!, u aint got no fucking contacts nowhere hahaha your joke made my day

Haha, definitely no contacts. --Ayoleftyz (talk) 05:36, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Second single. (Neva Hafta Wurry/Neva Have 2 Worry)

Okay, is it titled "Neva Hafta Wurry" or "Neva Have 2 Worry"? According to where I've downloaded it, twice, by DubCNN, it has the words, and no number. (Also, while we're at it, is this even confirmed as the second single?) --JpGrB 02:09, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

The second single is "Life of the Party", according to a Billboard article: http://www.billboard.com/bbcom/feature/index.jsp Aleppo1979 (talk) 15:49, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

I viewed iTunes tracklisting, there this named "Neva Have 2 Worry" Ferrumoff (talk) 00:11, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

Do you have a non-torrent site source for this? --JpGrB 17:14, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Leak/iTunes tracks

Leaks are rarely notable. If they change the release of the album, is such an example. And iTunes has been wrong times before. For the songs listed, there are sources. There are no reliable sources for the other tracks. If someone can provide one, please show it. --JpGrB 22:30, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

Here's the link to the UK edition: the track listing is the same as the leak, but it has a bonus track in "Nobody Better", track #22 -> http://www.hmv.co.uk/hmvweb/displayProductDetails.do?ctx=281;1;-1;-1&sku=749166 Aleppo1979 (talk) 22:32, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

How reliable is this site? Has it ever been used in other articles? --JpGrB 22:38, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
Your asking how reliable this source is? HMV is a famous music shop in the United Kingdom. They have branches located across the UK to Japan I cant believe you asked how reliable the source is. 17:03, 2 March 2008 (Anonymous User - AmNite) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.101.229.144 (talk)
I'm sorry, I don't know, I don't live in the UK, and I wasn't that informed, I'm sorry. I was just wondering if it had been used in other articles. --JpGrB 17:20, 2 March 2008 (UTC)


For thinking of sourcing a leak, please review other albums from the pst, nd what they have done about leaks. --JpGrB 16:20, 2 March 2008 (UTC)


...Please stop being a Cunt and just put that 21 track list back...you know damn well that this leak is the real album,albums always leak about 7 to 14 days before stores these days,this is a HQ clean Retail version,stop being a dick and just put it back,the way it is now is no better.

WP:NPA, and I'm just going by this. --JpGrB 22:18, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Clean-up and official track listing

I have added the official track listing due to the clean version of the album leaking. I have refrained from adding track times until the official explicit version is leaked as explained in the hidden comment. Please do not add single track times because it could be different from the actual CD. As for the second single, "Neva Have 2 Worry" has not been confirmed. Please list references with your added material and edit properly, thank you. --Ayoleftyz (talk) 03:17, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

...It has leaked, i can post all real track times. NaughtyByN8ture1 (talk) 23:04, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

The official explicit version just leaked, so I added the times. As for the producers, we need a copy of the booklet to confirm them and the guests are correct. --Ayoleftyz (talk) 23:10, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
