I have never been a big Snoop Dogg fan, but it is hard to ignore his 10th album to date, Malice n Wonderland. It has some very good songs that I enjoy which include, “Gansta Luv” ft. The Dream, “Pimpin Aint EZ” ft. R. Kelly, and “Special” ft. Brandy and Pharrell. But my favorite track on the album is “Different Languages” ft. Jazmine Sullivan.
When I first heard the song “Different Languages”, it instantly became one of my favorite songs at the moment. It has a great vibe to it, that puts you in a real pleasant place. If u get a chance check out the album, but definitely give this song a listen. Enjoy!

It’s not the singing that makes him special—MCs have been crooning for years. What puts Drake in a different space than rappers past and present has less to do with his music than how he found himself in a position to make it. He doesn’t represent traditional hip-hop in any form or fashion. There were no obstacles to his success; far from a statistic, he caked off as a child star on a soft-ass show (Degrassi: The Next Generation). He’s Canadian, which as we all know did wonders for the careers of Maestro Fresh Wes and Kardinal Offishall. And he’s Jewish! Scope those stats on paper and rap celebrity seemed destined to elude Drake. Yet, the Toronto kid made it work. But how? [click to continue…]
