Snoop Dogg Vows to Keep it Realer on Upcoming Album

Los Angeles, CA - Hip hop superstar Snoop Dogg announced his intentions to "finally make a record that he and his homies could be proud of" in a written press release delivered to the media on Thursday. "I've been flakin' and perpetratin' and scared to kick reality my whole career" wrote the lanky rhymer. "I'm tired of this fo'shizzle, you my nizzle nonsense," he continued. "Now I'm ready to let the world see the true Snoop Dogg, a guy who ain't out at parties smokin' a pound of chronic every weekend. I want the world to get to know the quiet, introspective, sensitive Snoop D-O double G."

In a suprising development, Snoop announced that his upcoming album is tentatively titled Sittin' at Home Watchin' Dvds With My Soulmate. "I chose that title cause its real man, you dig? I like to cuddle up with the love of my life and watch the Friends dvds. That Ross is a cool cat. And don't even get me started on Joey. I ain't afraid to admit that kind of stuff anymore." Snoop went on to relate that he had already completed several tracks including one called, I'm Straight Gardenin' and Readin' Fashion Magazines, and a second called, It Ain't No Fun, When the Homies Don't Take the Time to Listen to My Feelings. A third track titled Comfy-ass Cardigan Sweater (Throw Ya Fleece in the Air) was leaked to the internet last week.

"People need to understand I'm not this dope smokin' gangsta I've been portrayed as on my past albums," the rapper continued. "I drive a 2003 Volvo and most Sunday afternoons I'm at the country club either hitting a few balls on the range or just playing bridge with my homies. How gangsta is that?"

"I'm not talking 'bout gin and juice or hydro or none of that stuff on this record man. I'm talkin' about playin' online chess, drinkin' Caramel Fraps, and ice skatin' with my life-partner, the stuff the real Snoop is all about. With this new album, I'm sending a personal message to each one of my fans, sayin': This is the real me, it's nice to meet you Mr./Mrs. fan, now let's explore each other's emotions."

Snoop's record label, Geffen Records refused to comment.
