Real Talk on Tha Blue Carpet Treatment
Snoop Dogg "Real Talk" (prod. L.T. Hutton) [MP3: YSI | zshare stream/download]
The official retail release version of Tha Blue Carpet Treatment is cool but the real heatrock was the advance version that leaked a few weeks back and included this tribute track to executed reformed gang leader Stanley "Tookie" Williams.
I haven't delved into the official release too much yet so, at the risk of raising the "wrath" of Snoop fanatics out there with any misspeaks right now like I did the Starks Stans recently, I will hesitantly offer that I'm pretty sure this track (along with a few others that probably came from advance mixtapes or didn't clear samples etc.) didn't make it onto the final album which is too bad 'cos it features some of Snoop's hottest spitfire in a while like this sample line: "Sangfroid, that's the word and the lesson/For those unaware that means I'm calm under pressure." Need I say more? He took me by surprise with that one and I'm a fan - I didn't even know Snoop had vocab like that (ever)! Click to listen & recall why son is one of the best to ever do it.

Bonus:
DJ Clue feat. Snoop "Almost F-cked" [MP3: YSI | zshare stream/download] - from The Professional, Pt. 3
. Snoop almost goes full-on hip house/Baltimore club - on a DJ Clue album?? Wigsters rejoice!! TP3 album is actually aight featuring top to bottom bangers with very little fast forward material, but does anyone care about this dude any more and like one wag said on the XXL site, what exactly does Clue (like Diddy) do on these albums anyway? Well at least Diddy "raps."More: Clue MySpace.
