![]() They are speaking volumes to the people that are loving it and buying it. So, I revert back to that and say well their music is for their generation. The people that grew up with it understood it, it was for them, it wasn’t for you older people, it wasn’t for you people over here. They bashed me, they ran over my CD’s, they villainized me because of the music I made, they didn’t understand it. I remember when I was young, they did not like my rap. SD: My opinion is music has always been the young generation’s game, they hold it, it’s theirs, they control it. LAS: Music today in general, what is your feeling of that? You are Uncle Snoop, off-line (before interview) you were face-timing Chris Brown, so obviously people look up to you but what do you think of music today, a lot of people calling it mumble rap and times are changing but Snoop is probably the best one to give us his opinion? SD: Oh wow…Faith Evans, Kim Burrell, Patti LaBelle, Rance Allen, The Clark Sisters, Marvin Sapp, Mary Mary. LAS: Collaborations, producers, who can we expect or who all should people look out for on this album? And if it feels good to you than it must be good for you. This was like, I am not going to be judged off the sales of this, it’s the feeling I am trying to give you. But when I put a rap record out, if it don’t go platinum or do this or do that, than it’s not up to expectations. I didn’t have nothing to be expected, nobody is expecting me to do anything in the Gospel world. So now I had put it in front of my mind and that made me hurry up that gangsta’ project…but when I got to this, I felt a breath of fresh air like it was no stress or no pressure. ![]() SD: I think it had always been in my heart but I had always put it in the back of my mind. LAS: Do you think that was part of it, like an experience or calling? Was it God, was it a moment? I was in the middle of a gangsta’ a** record when I decided to do this, deep, heavy into it too, gangbang music. I can call a play but I could get to the line of scrimmage and could change it up. SD: I think so, I play it by ear, I am an audible kind of quarterback. LAS: Would you consider this a one-off because you did the Reggae album… will there be more of Gospel (music) from Snoop in the future? We not preaching from the Bible of hate and love we preaching from the Bible of straight love. The whole project is about love that’s why I chose to call it, “Bible of Love,” because we preaching from different bible. But giving them all a second opportunity to come back and to speak volumes for the music and the spirit of the music and the direction that we took was love. But for me to take my time and say I want to make a whole project dedicated to Gospel music and grab some of the greats in gospel music and put them together with a team of writers and producers and a bunch of artists who may have been overshadowed or thrown out or looked at crazy. Snoop Dogg (SD): Well if you know anything about Snoop Dogg, his music is spiritual in many ways and he has always dibbled and dabbled in the gospel world as far as having a message with the music that I make. LA Sentinel (LAS): Your album released this week, “Bible of Love,” tell us how Snoop Dogg fell into a gospel album and how this came about? Snoop talked about his new album, marijuana legalization, the Snoop Youth Football League and gang culture. ![]() The Los Angeles Sentinel caught up with Snoop for a one-on-one interview at his office/studio compound in Inglewood, California. He is also planning a “ Bible of Love” stage production. In addition to “ Bible of Love,” Snoop will be releasing more music through All The Time Entertainment, which he established to provide greater opportunities for gospel artists.
