Snoop Dogg talked about why he’s okay with people penning his raps, even though it’s long been considered a taboo thing to do in Hip Hop. “I started off writing, for Dr. Dre, so what would I be if I didn’t allow somebody to write for me? Sometimes you gotta put yourself in the frame of letting somebody else depict a better picture for you because you can’t see everything. Snoop went on to give an example of another artist’s best work that was written by someone else: “I feel like Whitney Houston’s best record was The Bodyguard, when the other people came in and gave her records that weren’t hers, where she could just sit back and just sing and they embodied what they thought she should be. “That’s to the point in my career where I’m at now, where I’ve written so many hit records,” he continued. It’s not about what I can write sometimes, it’s about what I can’t see that somebody else can write for me. Snoop explained how Cordae came to write the track for him. “Terrace Martin came here one day with Cordae,” the Death Row legend “Cordae is like, ‘Let me write something to this for you.’ I’m like, ‘Go ahead, homie.’ He go in that muthafuckin’ booth and wrote all of the rap the first verse and the second verse!
