Snoop Dogg Pimps That Country


Maybe it was too built up in reviews of Ego Trippin’, but after hearing Snoop Dogg’s new country single, “My Medicine,” I can’t figure out why anyone would look forward to hearing it unless they were being forced to review the album and pining for novelty. While it might be striking to hear Snoop Dogg talk about what a douche he is over a generic bluesy backdrop (hi, Everlast!), I never thought that Kid Rock’s recent work was anything I wanted other rappers to ape. Points for getting Willie “Beer For My Horses” Nelson to appear with a gangsta, though, and if Snoop wants to cover “Square Dance Rap,” I’m down. [YouTube]

    That is very clearly a song that Everlast wrote, though I have no idea why he wouldn’t have just performed it himself.

    Song is great. I welcome its future mega-hit status.

    yeah, i think i saw brad paisley too… also, i too am pretty fond of the song (though it kinda sounds more like urban dance squad than it does country music)

    Is Cowboy Troy still around? I hope not. This might encourage him. Damnitt.

    I kind of salute Snoop for doing this, actually. He’s aiming at one of the few demographics that still buys records. Can’t hate on a man who’s got kids to feed.
