On the road to mediocrity, there are passengers and there are drivers. Well Snoop
Not since the "Crumbelievable" debacle of 05 where EMF left it's one hit wonder "Unbelievable" to the manipulations of the Kraft food company to promote their new crumbly cheese line, has a song been so devalued by just a slight alteration in one word.
Here we are referring to the rapper formerly known as "Snoopy D-O double gizzle/ turn it up a little" and his once hit record, "Drop it Like it's Hot" featuring Pharrell Williams. This time we have Hot Pockets to blame for this foolery. In proper fleeting relevance form, Snoop has teamed up on this Hot Pocket "remix" with a fledgling nobody and a suckling attention parasite; featuring "YouTube Celebrity" DeStorm and former funny childhood star turned creepy baby-faced adult Andy Milonakis.
How do you go from featuring with the greatest musicians and artists ever and making some of the best most classic hip hop and rap music this world has ever known, to crooning wack watered-down versions of your once solid hits like this "Pocket Like it's Hot"? I guess it was all down hill to me when he did that song with Big Time Rush.
I understand people grow old and slow down and find and focus on new priorities, but those people also retire and fall back from the game. If it's coming down to just cutting the check Snoopy, let it go, maybe put one of your kids on like the rest of these respectable aging rappers are doing.
That'll do Lion, that'll do.
