Imagination Fit For a Gangster


You know John Lennon's song Imagine? Of course you do! Who doesn't? We all love Imagine, its great. Beautiful song filled with hope. But, that's not the point of this post. The point is that someone somehow inferred I don't like hip hop. That is far from the truth. But, I like quality hip hop, and quality artists, so I haven't actually had anything with substance to listen to for awhile. But I am gonna have to switch the musical tone up for a minute to please any hip hop heads.

Most of us know Snoop Dogg, and if you all have been listening to Snoop as long as I have, well then you know Snoop Dogg's absolute banger Imagine (which is why I name dropped John Lennon) off of Tha Blue Carper Treatment. Produced by the one and only Dr. Dre. This is such a nasty beat, I love everything about it, right down to the soulful chorus. As for the good docter's verse? Straight fire.

There is no better introduction to this track then Snoop's opening words.

Yo Doc what up my nigga?
Snoop Dogg, it is what it is
This record is so motherfuckin' gangsta man
And I think it's time for me and you to just
Turn it down a bit
Come on....

Snoop Dogg- Imagine ft. Dr. Dre
