“I got a trifecta of West Coast tapes coming,” Drama told XXLmag.com “I got Snoop Dogg’s tape, Tha Dogg Pound, and Terrace Martin.

“I figured if I go to the West Coast, I might as well come heavy, I might as well come strong, and who better to introduce me than the OGs,” he continued. “I’ma go with the veterans and then help introduce Terrace Martin to the scene.”

The Aphilliates top man said the idea for the Cali mixtape series started when he and the DPG announced they would collaborate on a mixtape. Then Snoop wanted to do an individual project, which Drama said would be titled The City Is In Good Hands.

WWE WRESTLMANIA 24 PRESS RELEASE
Celebrities Pack a Punch at WrestleMania XXIV®
John Legend, Snoop Dogg, Kim Kardashian, Raven-Symone Join WWE Superstars March 30

Stamford, Conn., March XX, 2008 – In addition to recently announced Floyd Mayweather who will wrestle 7 foot 399 lb Big Show in a David vs. Goliath match up, WWE is packing a Hollywood punch confirming four more celebrities for WrestleMania XXIV. Five-time Grammy-winner and multi-platinum singer, songwriter and performer John Legend will perform "America the Beautiful" live at this year's bash in Orlando, Florida on Sunday, March 30. Snoop Dogg will also be on hand as Celebrity Ring Announcer for a "BunnyMania" match with Playboy cover girls Candice Michelle and Maria squaring off against the Glamazon Beth Phoenix and Maria. Also confirmed are Kim Kardashian as Special Guest Hostess and popular actress Raven-Symoné, who will be a part of the WWE®'s biggest wish-granting event ever, hosting the Bacon, Bagels and Biceps brunch and accompanying over 50 Make-A-Wish children at WrestleMania XXIV. Rounding out the extravaganza, Red Hot Chili Peppers will lend their hit single "Snow (Hey Oh)" as the theme song this year.

John Legend's albums -- "Get Lifted" and "Once Again" -- have secured his place as one of the most striking, vital and important American musical artists to emerge in the 21st century. Legend originally gained notoriety as an in-demand all-star studio session writer and musician whose credits included work with Lauryn Hill, Black Eyed Peas, Alicia Keys, Common and Kanye West, among others

Calvin "Snoop Dogg" Broadus is a rare exception in the turbulent world of Hip-Hop, managing to stay tremendously relevant throughout his 16-plus years in the game. From music to movies, video games to clothing lines and now his own hit TV show (E!'s reality series Snoop Dogg's Father Hood), Snoop Dogg is an all-out pop culture icon and household name.

An American socialite, stylist, apparel retailer and television personality, Kim Kardashian can be seen on E! Entertainment's hit reality show "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" where she and her family are currently filming season 2. Kardashian also co-starred on The N's series "Beyond the Break" and has continual hosting stints on E! and EXTRA.

Raven-Symoné is well known as the star of "That's So Raven," "The Cheetah Girls" series and "The Cosby Show" as well as the Dr. Dolittle film series. Raven is starring in and executive producing the upcoming film "College Road Trip," which will be released on March 7 by Walt Disney Pictures and co-stars Martin Lawrence. Her fourth album - titled Raven-Symoné - will be released on April 22, 2008.

CHECC OUT THA NEW ISSUE OF XXL ON STANDS NOW.......
Sensual Seduction” took people by surprise. Why release what’s basically an R&B record as your first single?
There was no strategy. My boy Shawty Redd wrote the song, and once I sent it back, he started playing it in the clubs in Atlanta. He’s like, “This muthafucka is a big record.” When I played it for my peoples, they didn’t feel it at first—not my immediate people, my record-label people. They were like, “Eh.” I was like, “Fuck what y’all talking about, I’m putting this shit out. This is some fly shit. It’s my career, anyway.”

Your label does have a lot of money invested in you.
I don’t give a fuck if they have money invested in me. It’s me that makes them have money to be invested in me. I’m the only thing going over there. Well, I’m the best thing going over there. I’ll say it like that. It’s no disrespect. It is what it is. You don’t get what you get out of a regular artist what you get out of Snoop Dogg. You getting everything. You getting cool, you getting funny, you getting gangster, you getting pop, you getting streets, you getting Whites, you getting Blacks, you getting old, young. You get all that with Snoop Dogg. Them artists that they got only got one genre of fans. You can’t spread them out all over the table like me. I’m the only muthafucka that can do porno, coach football and have a cooking show.

Is the reality show promotion for the album?
Nah. They been asking me to do a reality show for five years, and this is the perfect time, because me and my family is coming together now. It just gives you the context of me as a real person, as opposed to all the fake shit and negative shit you hear about me all the time in the media.

Do you ever worry about what effects it might have? Ozzy’s son went to rehab. Nick and Jessica divorced. Britney and K-Fed. Any concern over putting your family on camera?
Have you seen Run’s House? They doing just fine. [Pause] ’Cause they Black. Black families don’t do all that bullshit like the White families do. This is bonding time, because this is helping us out. Somebody in the family wants to be a star. Someone wants to do this. So we’re looking at it like capitalizing off the moment. We’re not going to blow this moment and have a fallout.

Who wants to be the star?
My daughter and my wife. But ain’t nothing wrong with it.

Back to the album. Initially, there weren’t supposed to be any guest artists on Ego Trippin’. Why the switch?
It just happened. That might be me ego-tripping. The real ego-tripping on this record is that I let people write songs for me.

Singing songs? Rapping songs?
Everything.

Have you run out of things to say yourself?
Nah. I’m ego-tripping. I was watching Diana Ross getting inducted into a Hall of Fame, and she got up there and named all these great songwriters. Her biggest songs were written by somebody else. So I’m thinking, Wow, there’s nothing wrong with my pen, but I’m going to let other people write for me.

Has the recording process become easy?
Yeah, because I know what I want. When you know what you want, you aim for it and shoot for it. I was talking to Quincy Jones. He told me that, when he used to make records, there was a target they used to aim for, whether it was a No. 1 song or a hot artist. If you aim for a target, you’re either going to hit it or go higher. That’s what I’m on right now.

Who are you targeting?
Right now, Kanye West got the best rap album out, to me. So I’m aiming for him. And when I say I’m aiming for him, I’m just aiming to have a record as clean, as fly as his shit is.

So making music is easier now. But are you a better rapper now, or back in 1993?
I was probably a little doper back then, because I was more into rapping. Right now, I’m into creating a lot of shit. Back then, I was just into rap—the style, the flow, fucking you up, the baddest muthafucka, the coldest vocalist. Now I’m not into that. I can sit back and take a backseat and watch them do a Top 10 hottest rappers right now, and my name ain’t in there, and it don’t bother me.

It doesn’t bother you at all?
Ten, 12 years ago, if they would have ever had a Top 10 without my name in it, I would have went off on the niggas in the Top 10 and the niggas who did the Top 10.

I noticed that painting of Tupac over there. Did you ever view him as competition?
He was never competition for me, because he was my brother, my homeboy. Anybody that I get down with, I don’t ever view them as competition. Even, like, Game. I view Game like my family. He’s not competition to me. So when people say, “Game said that he brought the West Coast back, and Game was saying this…” That’s my brother. He’s supposed to say that. He’s a young gorilla. When I was a young gorilla, Ice Cube had the game on lock. And in so many ways, I was saying I was the baddest muthafucka. No disrespect to him, but you have to say that and mean that and feel that.

Suge Knight has said that you and Tupac got into it right before he died.
He told you that?

He didn’t tell me that. But it’s been printed. He told XXL.
He said me and ’Pac got into it?

You’ve heard that before, c’mon.
We had a misunderstanding. Our thing was, if someone is on you, they on me. He had a problem with Biggie and Puffy, and I did an interview with Angie Martinez when we was in New York, and she asked me how I felt about Biggie and Puffy, and I said I was cool. That triggered an emotion in him, because he wanted me to say, ‘Fuck Biggie and fuck Puffy.’ But I didn’t feel like that about them, for the simple fact that they didn’t really even want to fight him. He was fighting some guys that didn’t even want to fight him. It’s like, if I act and step in, we’re going to kill these niggas. And it don’t even matter. I’d gotten to the point in my life where I just beat my murder case, and I was more forgiving and humble and sympathetic, and the gangster in me just turned down. And he was so used to me being Snoop Dogg the muthafuckin’ killer that, when he heard that, it just fucked him up, like, “These niggas tried to kill me, and you ain’t riding with me.”

But it wasn’t like that. We didn’t even talk about it. We went to the plane, and them niggas didn’t say nothing to me all the way home, five and a half hours. My Rolls was there. His Rolls was there. I got out the plane. I was like, “Cuz, you going to the fight?” [Mike Tyson vs. Bruce Seldon, Sept. 7, 1996, Las Vegas] He looked at me like, “I don’t know.” I jumped in my car and rolled out. Next time I seen him, he’s laying in the bed, half-dead.

Snoop Bowl VI

Chandler, AZ — Music and TV superstar Snoop Dogg announced today that the 6^th annual Snoop Bowl will be taking place on February 2, 2008 @ 1pm. The annual game, hosted by Snoop Dogg himself, will donate a portion of the proceeds to the Matt Leinart Foundation (www.mattleinartfoundation.org). The game will be held at Hamilton High School in Chandler, AZ

Snoop Bowl VI will feature the Snoop Dogg All-Stars, a youth football team from California coached by Snoop Dogg, against local Arizona youth football players. The game will be held the day before Super Bowl XXII, and is expected to draw many fans. Matt Leinart, Heisman Trophy Winner and Arizona Cardinals Quarterback, will be in attendance, representing his charitable foundation. The Hamilton High School band will be performing at halftime.

"For five years now we have had a great time organizing and preparing for the Snoop Bowl. It gives the kids a reason to work and play hard throughout the season, knowing that it all culminates on this day," says Snoop Dogg. "It is about so much more than the game, the Snoop Youth Football League gives kids hope and meaning outside of just the sport."

The Snoop Dogg All-Stars are made up of kids who participate in the Snoop Youth Football League, a football league funded by Snoop Dogg and comprised of over 3,000 kids in the Greater Los Angeles area. Snoop Dogg founded the league in 2005 in order to provide at-risk youth an affordable way to play football. Kids who participate must maintain strict academic requirements to remain eligible. Coach Snoop even provides insurance to each participant free of cost.

Tickets can be purchased starting Jan. 15 at Celebritytheatre.com; The JohnJay and Rich Radio Show (KIIS 104.7) at (877) 937-1047; or by calling Hamilton High School at (480) 883-5000.

Snoop Dogg may wear a lot of hats, but the rapper plans on continuing to make an impact on area youth by hosting his third annual Snoop Youth Football League (SYFL) benefit concert.

The sold-out event, which will take place Saturday (Dec. 15) at the House of Blues in Los Angeles, is designed to ensure that the 2,500 kids in the league have new uniforms, transportation, lodging and food for the upcoming Snoop Bowl.

The big game will be held in Arizona during Super Bowl weekend.

For Snoop Dogg the SYFL is an effort he doesn’t take lightly.

"I am as committed to the SYFL as I am to any of my other interests -- it ranks as high, if not higher than the others for me," the rapper revealed. "The kids in the league depend on me to keep it going and giving 100 percent of the sales from this concert is my way of making it happen for all of them."

Comprised of 12 different chapters, the SYFL was created by Snoop Dogg to give inner-city kids -- who otherwise would not be able to play due to financial reasons -- the opportunity to participate in organized sports.

The league stresses the importance of academics, discipline, and responsibility to at-risk youths by giving them a healthy alternative to negative influences such as gangs and violence.

Proceeds from the concert will go to the SYFL. The league is among a string of endeavors involving Snoop Dogg. The rapper, who is currently working on his ninth album, is featured on the new E! Entertainment Television reality show Snoop Dogg's Father Hood.

As a mega-successful recording artist, producer and actor, Snoop Dogg has carved out a permanent place in pop culture and musical history as hip hop's ultimate wordsmith and most compelling superstar. However, there is much more to the Dogg Father than meets the eye…there is a side to Snoop that no one has ever seen before: fatherhood. Beneath that smooth exterior, he is a family man facing the challenges of raising three lively kids, balancing a multi-faceted career, and continuing his role as an ardent advocate of sometimes controversial community causes.

In this hilarious and heartwarming new reality series, E! takes viewers inside the everyday life of Calvin Broadus to reveal what really makes Snoop Dogg tick.

The Snoop we see in all of the sexy music videos is not the one we find at home with his family. Most people have no idea that he's married to his high school sweetheart, Shanté, aka Boss Lady. And Shanté is the Boss Lady for a reason…she is a strong-willed matriarch and takes pride in her role as the glue that keeps it all together. She manages the business of all things family as Snoop continues to forge a unique career path with eight Platinum-selling albums under his belt, along with numerous films, books, and even clothing that continue to lure fans.

Snoop and Shanté have spent the last 13 years raising their three lovable children: Cordé, Cordell, and daughter Cori, all of whom have undeniably inherited their parents' colorful spirit and charm while still being everyday kids dealing with the same issues all tweens and teens face today…and of course finding their way into some healthy and expected mischief. Then there's Anthony, the son of Snoop's hair-braider, Tasha. Anthony showed up at Snoop's house one day 10 years ago and never left. He's been "adopted" and welcomed by the family, who now refer to this hilarious, animated 21 year old as their oldest son.

Snoop's extended family is filled with a colorful cast of characters, including Uncle June Bugg, a smooth-talking, Hennessey-drinking, professional dancer and romancer; or Uncle Reo, the leopard-print leather pantsuit wearing chef of the family; Kevin, the white hip-hop head and one of Snoop's many wranglers and managers; or Big Keyes, one of three bodyguards bigger than a grizzly bear with the heart of a teddy bear and the voice of Mickey Mouse. This clan is vibrant, animated and always united.

Whether he is chasing after the kids to clean the house, taking yoga classes in a quest to relieve stress, figuring out how to talk to his oldest son about dating while on the set of his latest music video, or on a mission to find some decent chicken wings in Germany, Snoop's life is never dull as he strives for balance between family and career. His magnetic sense of humor is always sure to entertain, as he often breaks the fourth wall and talks directly to the viewer.

This lovable family always promises to serve up their fair share of calamity: with Cordell's plots to hustle cash, Cordé's life as a modern teenager, Cori's dreams of becoming a superstar, and Anthony's haphazard and hysterical attempts to keep order between all of them. You never know what's going to go down in a day in the life of this clan…some days you wake up and jump on private jet, and other days you gotta buckle down and do your homework. For the first time, you'll get a ringside seat as Snoop pursues his version of the American Dream. You'll laugh, you'll be touched, and then you'll chill...till the next episode.

TUNE INTO "SNOOP DOGG'S FATHER HOOD" AT 10:30PM ON 12.9.2007.....ONLY ON E!

The J.A.M. Awards is the latest in a series of events put on by the Jam Master Jay Foundation, a charitable organization dedicated to supporting music and arts education, as well as promoting the legacy of the late Run-DMC member, Jam Master Jay.

Although it is designed to showcase the positive aspects of rap music and let the world know that Hip-Hop is alive and well and as relevant today, DMC believes the J.A.M. Awards represents a deeper cause.

“This unprecedented event is not designed merely for music fans, but also for people who want to see Hip-Hop answer its critics with a resounding voice of hope and inspiration,” the rap veteran said. “I can't yet mention everyone who will be there; I will go on record to say that it will be historic. I know Jay will be with us in spirit."

In addition to event CO-host DMC, Mobb Deep and Papoose, confirmed J.A.M. Awards performers include Marley Marl, Talib Kweli, Dead Prez, Raekwon, Q-Tip, Everlast featuring DJ Muggs, De La Soul and Snoop Dogg, who expressed his enthusiasm for being a part of the event.

"The J.A.M. Awards will be over the top. Jam Master Jay and Run-DMC paved the way for me and everyone I know,” the rapper said. “As pioneers of Hip-Hop, their positive message will live on through this J.A.M. concert and future J.A.M. Awards."

Since news of the J.A.M. Awards broke, the event has been met with support from numerous sources.

"This is Hip-Hop at its best," said JMJ board member and U.S. Recorded Music for Warner Music Group chairman and CEO Lyor Cohen. "The message we're promoting with the J.A.M. Awards is simple and unassailable. Many relevant artists I know, including all the members of Run DMC, were inspired by social justice, arts or music–those are the necessary elements to build a dream."

Foundation Board Members include: Terri Corley-Mizell, DMC, Russell Simmons, Lyor Cohen, Erik Blamoville, Jesse Itzler, Stephen Nitkin, Rob Principe, Constance Schwartz, Cathy Symeonidis, Ivan Taback and David Weisswasser.

Tickets for the inaugural J.A.M. Awards are available now through Ticketmaster.

SANTA MONICA, CA—Xenon Pictures announces the home entertainment release of the Urban horror anthology SNOOP DOGG’S HOOD OF HORROR. The film, which features the legendary rapper as the “Crib Keeper”, presents three grisly morality tales that blend horror, anime, live action and a strong dose of gallows humor. The Xenon Pictures release, produced by Social Capital, BloodWorks, and Snoopadelic Films, which opened nationally in theaters in May, makes its long-awaited DVD launch on September 11^th. SNOOP DOGG’S HOOD OF HORROR will be available nationwide in all major retail stores and on-line merchants for $26.98 (SRP). The DVD is rated R.

Inspired in part by the classic “Tales from the Crypt” comic book series, SNOOP DOGG’S HOOD OF HORROR takes the urban nightmare into the realm of the supernatural and the bizarre. Take, for example, the tagger who’s given the power of life and death by a shamanistic stranger, the son of a Texas oil millionaire who never fought in a war, steals from veterans, and doesn’t care if somebody has to get killed, or the rap star whose skeletons come out of the closet—literally. Hip-hop icon Snoop Dogg stars as Devin, a slain gangster forced to atone for his misdeeds by ushering his fellow sinners to their infernal “rewards”, accompanied by his posse of scantily-clad sucubi. Described by Variety as “gleefully disgusting”, this darkly comical gorefest boasts a stellar cast from the worlds of film and TV, hip-hop and pro sports, including Ernie Hudson (Ghostbusters, “Desperate Housewives”), Danny Trejo (The Devil’s Rejects), Lin Shaye (There’s Something About Mary), Anson Mount (In Her Shoes, City by the Sea), PlaymateÒ Brande Roderick, Daniella Alonso (The Hills Have Eyes 2), Pooch Hall (“The Game”), Sydney Tamiia Poitier (Grindhouse), WWF superstar Diamond Dallas Page, Aries Spears (“Mad TV”) and NBA star Tayshaun Prince. Also featured are Billy Dee Williams, Jason Alexander (“Seinfeld”), rapper Method Man (“The Wire”), NBA star Lamar Odom and NFL stars Teyo Johnson, Justin Fargas and Glenn Cadrez.

In addition to its eye-catching foil-embossed packaging and 24-page booklet, the DVD is packed with great extras, such as the featurette “Inside Snoop Dogg’s Hood of Horror”, where members of the production team and cast discuss how the film came to be, what the characters are about and, even better, how they created some of the incredible makeup effects, including the notorious “40-ouncer-through-the-head”. Another feature, “Bringin’ the Gore”, gives a behind-the-scenes look at how many of the visual effects were created, while “H.O.H.: The Anime” shows the painstaking work that went into creating the film’s electrifying anime sequences. Also included are the Snoop Dogg video “Welcome to the Hood”, an interview with sexy actress Brande Roderick, footage of the film’s Los Angeles premiere, and much more!

As a mega-successful recording artist, producer, and actor, Snoop Dogg has carved out a permanent place in musical history as hip hop’s ultimate wordsmith and most laid back superstar. But there is much more to the Doggfather than meets the eye. Beneath that smooth exterior is a family man facing up to the challenges of raising three lively kids, an ardent advocate of sometimes controversial community causes, and the passionately involved founder of … a youth football league. In this hilarious and heartwarming new series, E! takes viewers inside the everyday life of Calvin Broadus to reveal what really makes Snoop Dogg tick. The new half-hour reality series will debut late 2007 on E!

“Snoop Dogg is, without a doubt, one of the most charismatic and intriguing personalities in pop culture today,” said Ted Harbert, president & CEO, Comcast Entertainment Group. “While he has captured a legion of fans as the king of hip hop, what makes Snoop most interesting is the side of him that people have never seen. The juggling act that Snoop faces day-in, day-out between career and family is certain to resonate with our viewers.”

E!’s cameras will accompany Snoop to his offices and studio as he pursues his multi-faceted career as rapper, producer, actor, and entrepreneur, bringing fans into the behind-closed-doors meetings and recording sessions at which pop culture is created. They will also be at side when he uses his humor and street cred to inspire unity in the streets and in the rap game. And they will follow him home, where his daughter and two sons clamor for attention (and follow his unique direction), an ever-changing number of pets are constantly underfoot, and his wife Shante serves as a mother-figure to a lively extended family of relatives and friends.

Over the past 15 years, Calvin Broadus, affectionately called Snoop Dogg, has forged a unique and multi-faceted career path. Never short on vision, drive or ambition, he has managed to redefine himself again and again, making music, movies, commercials, videos, books, and even clothing that continue to lure fans.

With eight Platinum-selling albums under his belt—most recently, “Tha Blue Carpet Treatment,” on which he reunited with Dr. Dre, the legendary production wizard who first gave him his start—Snoop reigns unchallenged as King of the West Coast hip hop scene. In addition to hosting his own XM Satellite Radio show, “Welcome to Da Chuuch with Bigg Snoop Dogg,” he calls the shots as executive producer of XM’s classic hip hop channel, The Rhyme. He has also released the independent DVD Boss’n Up and launched Snoopadelic Films, which will soon be putting out “Adventures of Tha Blue Carpet Treatment,” a supplemental DVD with ten animated videos from “Tha Blue Carpet Treatment” album.

But Snoop’s ambitions extend far beyond the recording studio and video stage. Over the last few years, he has spent an increasing amount of time and energy on community issues, personally orchestrating the Protect the West Conference, aimed at keeping the peace within the hip hop community and creating opportunities for artists to share and build. He has also become known as Coach to approximately 2,500 kids who belong to the Snoop Youth Football League, where they learn the importance of self-esteem, team spirit, and old-fashioned hard work. And reflecting his love of animals (not to mention his name), he’s introduced his own Snoop Dogg line of pet products.

E! is now bringing Snoop’s whirligig life and magnetic energy to the small screen in this new series that goes inside the remarkable life of this talented megastar. Viewers will get to know Snoop’s lovable family as well as his colorful Dogg Pound entourage – and get a ringside seat as he pursues his version of the American Dream.

With all of the bad press stemming from Snoop’s police contact, many have overlooked the rapper’s positive contributions. In 2004, the Doggfather formed the Snoop Youth Football League. In 2005 he organized the Western Conference, an event with a goal to bring together West Coast artists in order to promote unity and end petty beefs.

SOS is designed to trigger a global movement to combat our climate crisis. It will reach people in every corner of the planet through television, film, radio, the Internet and Live Earth, a 24-hour concert on 7/7/07 across all 7 continents that will bring together more than 100 of the world’s top musical acts. Live Earth alone will engage an audience of more than 2 billion people through concert attendance and broadcasts. MSN has partnered with SOS to use its reach to make the Live Earth concerts available across the globe. The Live Earth audience, and the proceeds from the concerts, will create the foundation for a new, multi-year global effort to combat the climate crisis led by The Alliance for Climate Protection and its Chair, Vice President Al Gore. SOS was founded by Kevin Wall, who won an Emmy as Worldwide Executive Producer of Live 8.

“Our climate crisis is the paramount challenge facing humanity. SOS is more than a global distress call. SOS will give the world the tools we need to answer that call with meaningful action. The most important part of SOS is how individuals, corporations, and governments respond,” Wall said. “Our climate crisis affects everyone, everywhere, and that’s who SOS is aimed at. Only a global response can conquer our climate crisis. SOS asks all people to Save Our Selves because only we can.”

“In order to solve the Climate Crisis, we have to reach billions of people. We are launching SOS and Live Earth to begin a process of communication that will mobilize people all over the world to take action,” Gore said. “The Climate Crisis will only be stopped by an unprecedented and sustained global movement. We hope to jump-start that movement right here, right now, and take it to a new level on July 7, 2007.”

“At MSN, we have the worldwide audience and the technology stage to help unite a global community around SOS and Live Earth,” said Joanne Bradford, corporate vice president and chief media officer of MSN. “Anyone around the world with an Internet connection will be able to come to MSN to view not just the concert events, but also an extensive collection of interactive media that will entertain, educate, inspire and ultimately drive change.”

Wall announced 25 of the 100 top musical acts that have answered SOS’s call and are performing at Live Earth. SOS is also engaging other celebrities, CEOs, athletes, academics and government leaders to engage their constituencies. Please see that attached list of 25 artists.

“More than 100 artists are performing at Live Earth and they’re all headliners. That’s what it takes to engage billions of people. We’re not just engaging fans of the Red Hot Chili Peppers and Snoop Dogg, or the Foo Fighters and Faith Hill. We’re engaging them and everyone in between,” Wall said. “We’ve been overwhelmed by the response from the artist community and are feverishly working out the logistics for all of the bands that want to be involved. Today we are announcing just the first 25 and will soon be announcing even more headliners who, for contractual reasons, cannot be announced today.”

The campaign’s identity is based on SOS, the international Morse code distress signal: three dots, followed by three dashes, followed by three dots. SOS is the most urgent, universal message we have, and SOS will use that signal as a continuous distress call to prompt individuals, corporations and governments around the world to respond to our climate crisis with action.

“SOS is creating an unmatched communications platform to take on an unparalleled crisis,” Wall said. “Our message must saturate the globe if we’re to succeed, and we will. In the US, we’re partnering with NBC-Universal and its networks. On satellite radio, we have SIRIUS and XM. In the UK, we’re partnering with the BBC. In Japan, we have a historic partnership with two broadcast partners. We have already secured television, Internet and wireless coverage in 120 countries, and the rest are soon to come.”

Wall announced that Live Earth concerts will take place in the Brazil, Shanghai, Japan, Johannesburg, London, Sydney, and the Eastern United States.

Live Earth will be broadcast worldwide on MSN, which was the first sponsor to answer SOS’s call. MSN is one of the world's most popular Internet destinations, and as such will allow the SOS campaign to have a global reach. MSN has services in over 42 markets and 21 languages, and more than 465 million people around the world visit MSN each month. Beginning today, people can go to http://liveearth.msn.com and begin participating in the global movement, and on 7/7/07, to watch the Live Earth concerts.

Live Earth is being produced by Control Room, of which Kevin Wall is the CEO. Control Room has produced and distributed more than 60 concerts since its founding a year and a half ago featuring Beyoncé, Madonna, Green Day, Dave Matthews Band, Keith Urban, James Blunt, Snoop Dogg, the Rolling Stones, among others. Its multi-partner network provides a global reach for live offerings through broadband, television, digital movie theatres and mobile phones throughout the U.S. and the world.

Mobile entertainment providers Limbo 41414™ and Media Cartel, Inc., have teamed up with Jakks Pacific, Inc. (NASDAQ: JAKK) and Grammy winning rapper Snoop Dogg for a “Dog Meet Dogg Sweepstakes” to promote JAKKS’ new JPI Pets Snoop Dogg line and benefit the Snoop Youth Football League. Now through January 16, 2007, Limbo 41414 technology will host cell-phone driven text-messaging-based Limbo Auctions featuring multiple Snoop Dogg prize packages, including signed CDs, Snoop Dogg pet products from JPI, and a chance to hang with the Doggfather himself at the third annual Snooper Bowl event taking place on Super Bowl weekend in Miami, Florida.

Over the course of the Limbo Auction, Limbo 41414 users will bid on a chance to win daily and weekly Snoop-themed prizes. The prizes include new Snoop Dogg pet products such as faux fur coats, hoodie sweatshirts and other JPI Snoop Dogg pet toys, as well as exclusive Snoop Dogg ring tones for cell phones and his just released album Tha Blue Carpet Treatment and will be awarded to the lowest unique bidder through Limbo 41414’s premiere “upside down” Limbo Auction. A percentage of the proceeds from the Snoop-themed Limbo Auction will go to the Snoop Youth Football League, which has been bringing football leagues to underprivileged youth since 2004.

The new line of Snoop Dogg branded pet products featuring dog toys, apparel and accessories inspired by the iconic Doggfather himself, including items featuring a sound chip that plays signature Snoop Dogg phrases, is also available for pre-order on www.Amazon.com.

The “Limbo Auction” is an innovative, cell phone-driven text messaging game that integrates the components of both a sweepstakes and an auction. A Limbo Auction is distinct from other sweepstakes in that it’s truly an interactive game where the winner makes the lowest bid that no other player makes, not the highest bid. It encourages players to develop and employ bidding strategies and to stay highly engaged during each round as they receive comments and tips regarding their bids (e.g., “you’re the lowest unique bid,” “your bid is unique but not the lowest,” etc.)

Superstar rapper and hip hop icon Snoop Dogg readies for his highly anticipated album Tha Blue Carpet Treatment releasing on November 21^st through Doggystyle/Geffen. Early buzz from industry insiders promise a classic album complete with the reunion of Snoop and Dr. Dre with three bangers from the dynamic duo. This classic pairing marks the duo’s first collaborative effort in approximately five years and promises to make history once again.

Tha Blue Carpet Treatment is a return to the original sound that put the Long Beach rapper on the map with Snoop keeping it gangsta on each and every record. Following the street single, “Vato,” produced by Pharrell and featuring B-Real, comes the highly anticipated second single, “That’s That” produced by Nottz and featuring R&B crooner R. Kelly. This catchy and melodic song was most added at Urban and Rhythmic formats, proving it is shaping up to be another platinum hit for the West Coast “Boss.” Snoop says, “’That's That’ is theme music for a classy gangsta party - that's when you ladies pull out the high heels and the playas pull out the three-piece suits. You'll see in the video! Me and R. Kelly had a lot of fun shooting this one." The video for “That’s That” will make its MTV Prime Time Premiere on November 7^th.

Throughout the album, Snoop takes it back to the hood showcasing the gritty realness that helped shape his status as a cultural icon. XXL writes, “Snoop’s lyrical fire seems resurrected, as he delivers arguably his most consistently scorching work post-Doggystyle.” Thirsty fans will be thrilled with the thought provoking song “Imagine,” produced by and featuring Dr. Dre, which reflects on what life would be like for the California natives without hip hop. The signature Dre piano riff is complimented by the D’Angelo sung chorus, marking the first time fans have heard D’Angelo in six long years. Another album favorite is club banger “Psst,” produced by Jamie Foxx, N8 and Brainz and features Jamie Foxx’s signature falsetto on the hook. The album also features two collaborations with Akon, “Boss’s Life” produced by Dr. Dre and the current radio smash “I Wanna Love You,” the latter also being on Akon’s upcoming album. Of the album, Snoop says, Tha Blue Carpet Treatment is my presentation to the world on what it means to be the King of the West Coast. I really worked extra hard on making this one perfect and got the best of the best among my homies in the music game- Skateboard P, Timbaland, R. Kelly, D'Angelo... and you know when me and Dr. Dre get together - it's a monster."

As a gift to loyal fans, Snoop is treating 9 winners to Tha Blue Carpet Treatment. Nine winning tickets will be placed inside random CDs of the album which reward the lucky recipient with a diamond Ice link watch. The grand prize winner will win a diamond Ice Link watch worth $100,000. Three winners will be prized with diamond Ice Link watches worth $10,000 and five winners will get diamond Ice Link watches worth $5,000.

The excitement for the album will continue to build as Snoop will be performing at this year’s MTV European Music Awards on November 2nd, marking the rapper’s first televised performance of the year. He will follow it up with a performance at this year’s BET Hip Hop Awards, which will air on November 17^th, where his feature film, “Boss’n Up” is nominated for Best Hip Hop Movie.

As if Snoop were not busy enough, he also recently released his first book, “Love Don’t Live Here No More,” a story loosely based on his own life’s trials and tribulations. The book, co-written by playwright David E. Talbert, is the first in a series of novels called Doggy Tales that takes readers from the unforgiving streets of Long Beach to the bright lights of show business.

Multi-Platinum, Award Winning rapper Snoop Dogg is set to release his eighth solo LP, "Tha Blue Carpet Treatment," this November through Doggystyle/Geffen. “Tha Blue Carpet Treatment” is one of the most highly anticipated new albums of the year and will continue to solidify this hip hop icon as one of the most influential musical entertainers of today.

Throughout each record on the forthcoming release, Snoop takes it back to the basics…back to the ‘hood, showcasing the original gangsta sound that made this Long Beach rapper an instant household name when he made his debut in 1992 on Dr. Dre’s hit song “Deep Cover” and the classic album “The Chronic.” After releasing a string of hit records on his last effort that carried a more commercial sound, such as the #1 mega-hit “Drop It Like It’s Hot” featuring Pharrell, the rapper decided this time around to bring back Snoop Dogg, the O.G., for his fans. Producers who collaborated on “Tha Blue Carpet Treatment” include hit makers Dr. Dre, Timbaland, Rick Rock, Pharrell, among others; along with guest appearances by artists such as Stevie Wonder, Ice Cube, The Game, Brandy, R. Kelly and MC Eight.

The premiere single, produced by Pharrell, titled "Vato," featuring B Real from Cypress Hill is a gritty street record that tells an everyday story from the rough LA streets that only the Dogg himself can tell. The video for the single, which was directed by Phillip Atwell, plays like a short cinematic film with an important underlying message: the need for black and brown unity, especially in the wake of violence in recent months in Los Angeles. With Snoop starring as an O.G. and B Real as a Latino gang member, the video also boasts guest appearances by rap veteran Kid Frost and Oscar nominated actor Edward James Olmos to bring attention to an unfortunate, but real issue that continues to plague communities today. Through this groundbreaking video, Snoop is looking to leverage his street credibility and knowledge to launch a much needed push for unity.

"It's about time we start to fight for each other rather than fighting against each other. I have homies from all cultural backgrounds and love all of my brothers, black and brown. There is nothing that can stop us from creating a better future for ourselves, for our families and generations to come if we all came together," says Snoop Dogg.

This is not the superstar’s first attempt to bring forth social awareness to important issues. Last year, he held a peace summit dubbed “Protect the West” to end all feuds between rap artists from the West Coast. Snoop also participated in rallies to save Stanley “Tookie” Williams, an ex-gang member on death row who spearheaded the truce between the “Bloods” and “Crips.”

The highly anticipated world premiere of “Vato” will make its video debut on August 30^th on “BET’s Access Granted.”
