PRESS RELEASE
SNOOP
DOGG
With Very Special Guest ICE CUBE
Friday, January
12th, 2007
Save-on-Foods Memorial Centre,
Victoria
Doors: 6:30pm Show: 7:30pm
Believe it or not, Hip Hop
legend Snoop Dogg
teams up with a legend in his
own right, Ice Cube,
for the most exciting hip hop
tour to hit Canada this year.
In a game not known for the
longevity of its players,
Snoop Dogg stands
alone. Others may have burned as
brightly but few have managed to
stay at the top for as long as
the superstar rapper. CDs,
television, movies, numerous
cameos on other peoples’ albums
have only whetted the public’s
appetite for the hip-hop star,
who is one of the few rapper’s
whose appeal and charisma cuts
across genre boundaries with 17
million records sold and
counting. This tour is sure to
be a blockbuster.
Thirteen years after his
stunning debut Doggystyle made
him a household name across the
nation, Snoop is about to
drop Tha Blue Carpet Treatment.
A return to the sound that put
the Long Beach rapper on the
map, Tha Blue Carpet Treatment
sees Snoop keeping it
gangsta on each and every
record. Following the street
single, “Vato,” comes the highly
anticipated second single,
“That’s That” produced by Nottz
and featuring R&B crooner R.
Kelly. Already the most added at
Urban and Rhythmic formats, the
track is shaping up to be
another platinum hit for the
West Coast “Boss.” The disc also
reunites Snoop and
producer Dr. Dre on three
tracks, marking the dynamic
duo’s first collaborative effort
in five years.
Back in the late 80’s when rap
exploded, Ice Cube
was the lyrical brains behind
the massive world wide hit
“Straight Outta Compton” and
brought West Coast hip hop to
the people. Rather than simply
rest on his movie star laurels
however, Ice Cube
is getting back in the game.
Laugh Now Cry Later is his first
record of new material in ages,
and it's worth the wait. Nearly
20 years after transforming the
hip-hop scene with N.W.A. and
his first two solo albums,
AmeriKKKa's Most Wanted and
Death Certificate, Ice
Cube has made his most
accomplished and hard-hitting
record to date, featuring
collabs with some of today's rap
heavies and singles like "Chrome
& Paint" and "Why We Thugs".
