Snoop Dogg speaks on Rap Icons getting less respect than Rock legends.
Snoop Dogg is currently prepping the release of his 19th studio album “Algorithm” which will drop on November 19th. He recently sat down with Rolling Stone for a new interview where the West Coast icon talked about various topics, including that Hip-Hop veterans aren’t getting the same respect as Rock icons like The Rolling Stones.
“They don’t limit The Rolling Stones, they don’t limit those other groups that do it outside of our genre,” says Snoop Dogg. “You got rappers in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. You ain’t got no muthaf**kin’ rock and rollers in the Rap Hall of Fame. So slow it down a little bit, and start putting some respect on our name and give us the respect for who we are.”
He continues, “Don’t put no time limit on how old we are or what we are, because we don’t look at the rockers and say, ‘Man, he got white hair now when he used to have black hair, and it’s all grey now. We love their music, we love them, we respect them, we come support them, we sing their music — diehard fans. We should get that same love in hip-hop because we created something that’s gonna last forever, it’s generational.”
Snoop Dogg’s next studio album, The Algorithm, is set to be released on November 12th, his first effort under his new executive role at Def Jam Recordings. Mount Westmore, rap’s newest supergroup, of which Dogg is a part, has released their debut single. The group, which includes Ice Cube, E-40, and Too $hort, debuted the album’s first single, ‘Big Subwoofer,’ last month.
Meanwhile, Def Jam superstar LL COOL J, along with JAY-Z, has been inducted into The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Snoop Dogg recently teamed up with Jadakiss, Benny The Butcher and Busta Rhymes for his latest single “Murder Music“. Check out the full interview on Rolling Stone.
