Snoop Dogg can see the future
February 4, 2008
Now that his single Sensual Seduction (a.k.a. Sexual Eruption) is in the Top 10, it's official: Snoop Dogg can see the future. First, let's pause to watch the best video in the history of anything, ever. (The song is about four minutes long, so you'll want to allot approximately half an hour so that you can watch it in its entirety at least six times.)
Though the song has been out a few months, I had somehow missed the video when it was first released, and now I can barely express how profound my regret is that I have lived a few more weeks of my life without this video in it. That being said, we have a lot to learn from, here. I'll be exploring that in my next few posts.
(Special note to the Universal Music Group: I've been trying mightily to promote your product, and yet you are so intent on sucking ass that I can't even embed your video on my blog. N.B. I'd have been happy to do so with your ads wrapped around it. Meanwhile, there's about 1,000 other copies of it on both YouTube and Brightcove. Weak! Also, given that this is a Snoop video, I think that while the video is buffering, it should say "Loading, Player" instead of "Loading Player". Thanks!)

You must be taking the piss.. That video and song are the crappiest thing I have ever watched or heard.

@Tony: You must be a Vista or Ubuntu user, right? - Maybe your tastebuds just got caught in a cold, or something, you never know.

Hey Now Anil, Remember when he was featured on Dre’s album in ‘92? Thx, Catto

Dammit, that track sounds exactly like an old DnB track I loved and I can’t remember who it was or which of my 300 electronica CDs it’s on. Gah!

“Loading, Player” is BY FAR the most clever thing you have ever said. I’m having thousands or shirts printed up and going to make a mint off your brain ktx! [just kidding. but i might sharpie it on my kid’s shoes while she’s not looking.]

Best use of a comma in a blog post ever! Loading, Player. Indeed.

I hope you’ll also discuss the brilliant visual effects as well. Great Post, Player.

He actually said “she had a pretty face”. I like that.
But what’s hanging out of his mouth? Please tell me it’s not a thing of K-Y.

The tube is Snoop controlling his (theoretical) talkbox! We discussed that a bit in the post on Auto-Tune, talkbox, and vocoders.

Turn off the autoplay. You should know better.

Electronic emo-porno made by a 40 year old ugly guy who calls himself snoop? Snoop?? Who is he trying to seduce with this soft plastic sound? Even the well payed but nonetheless cheap ladies can’t make up for that…
