Ego Trippin ' is the ninth studio album by the US hip-hop musician Snoop Dogg . It was released in March 2008.

background

After Snoop Dogg released the album “Tha Blue Carpet Treatment” in 2006, which featured many guest musicians, a year later he released the single “Sensual Seduction” / “Sexual Eruption” for the first time. As rarely, Snoop Dogg was the sole interpreter of the song this time.

The single was again a major international success after a long time. In the United States it was among the top ten on the Billboard Hot 100, at number 7, in Germany it was ranked 15th, in Austria 40th and in Switzerland 22nd place.

Shortly after the track was presented, he announced that there would be no guest rappers on the album for the first time. However, the news came rather late before the publication that this announcement had been false.

music

Even the first single "Sensual Seduction" is musically reminiscent of pop electro . Older visual effects were used in the music video. The song "A Word Witcha" is based on the genre of the Motown record label . For the other songs, Snoop Dogg was also inspired by previously successful music genres and artists. Among other things, instruments such as vocoders or synthesizers are used. With the song "My Medicine", which is a mixture of country and rap , he honors the singer Johnny Cash (" Johnny Cash, a real American gangster "), who died in 2003 . More or less controversial - he counts on the support of musicians from the fields of hip-hop and R&B such as the Neptunes , Jamie Foxx or Kurupt .
