It seems that Snoop Dogg isn’t content with just shaking up his image by doing a full-blown R&B song like his single Sensual Seduction, as the Doggfather recently revealed to MTV News his other ambitions.
“I want to work with Madonna, Bono or Mick Jagger,” he said. “I’m on
some rock shit, man. Snoop Dogg, man! Rappers don’t really move me too
much. They can’t do what I did. I’m trying to get down with something
that’s outta the box and bigger than me.”
With so many options before him, Snoop hasn’t even chosen the next single for his upcoming album, Ego Trippin’, though he does have a few ideas. One is Sets Up, produced by the Neptunes. “Sets up, just throwing your neighborhood up. Everybody like to throw
their sets up. Then I did one that’s called Feet Don’t Fail Me Now
with me, Pharrell, Nelly and Charlie Wilson.” This of course differs from Snoop’s original plan to do the entire album solo.

“It’s about leaving your girl, not leaving your girl,” added Snoop about Feet Don’t Fail Me Now.“You should never leave your
girl. It’s a good party record, but it has some real meaning to it.
“I got so many hot songs I can come with…I’m trying to
see what the vibe is. Sensual Seduction is fast, it’s party. Do I
wanna slow down or keep the pace rolling? It’s all about what I wanna
do next. I’m thinking about performing as well. So everything I put
down is the thoughts of me performing, and the thought of you loving it
and appreciating it.”
As far as entertaining goes, Snoop is considering performing Sensual Seduction live on the piano, with a talk-box and backing from a live band. “I’m getting some ideas in my head,” said the veteran emcee. “It’s
probably gonna be Snoop Dogg and Teddy Riley. Something to that effect.
I wanna bring it real big. He’s got so many hits, I’ve got so many
hits. I feel we’ll go real big with this new thing we got.”

Even with his album coming out, Snoop has time to branch out into other ventures. The west coast rapper hopes to launch a new clothing line in 2008 called “Rich and Infamous,” as well as a brand of pet-care products and a chain of grocery stores called “Snoopermarkets.”
