In ‘08’s Oscar-winning Slumdog Millionaire, a young man from the slums of Bombay suddenly wins twenty million rupees (about $393,934.07 in US cash) on Kaun Banega Crorepati (India’s version of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire).  One of the many inspired by the film, household regular Snoop Dogg recalls exactly how, “I Became A Snoop Dogg Millionaire.” In the course of the record, Snoop details his rise from the streets of Long Beach to rap stardom, from his first deal with Death Row/Interscope to his role in the creation of Dr. Dre‘s The Chronic to the release of his own own, now-classic debut album, Doggystyle.  Featuring a hook by the Hustle Boys and a sample by Tanvi Shah (who recorded the Oscar-winning Jai Ho), Wild Animals and Chase & Status’ production gives the cut a surreal edge. Snoop Dogg Millionaire is set to appear on the emcee’s tenth album, Malice in Wonderland, which is set to drop this summer.

I have some mixed feelings about this one. The production was solid. The hook was wierd and catchy at the same time, and has the potential to grow on me. Snoop was decent on the verses, but they were too short. In rotation, but it has me looking forward to the album.

Im not feeling this that much. The production is pretty bad and the hook with that weird voice doesnt make it any better. There's too much beats mixed together througout the song. Horrible

Whoa!!! its samplin a song from a Bollywood film which i cant recall right now ... mostly bcos i dont watch em (str8 ripoffs from urs truly Hollywood) ...
Hook is all messed up ... & the beat is just Ok ... but snoop's verses are on point ...
In-btw i was sooo expectin it ... as Snoop has some indian fan-following rite after fiddy ... & this last year he even did a guest verse on the remix of Bolly-song 'Singh Is King' ... rappin/singin - "East West Indian Masala" ... hahaha ...
dis aint that good ... but I know that I'll be jockin this for at least until album comes out ...

Its good Snoop keeps trying new things (eg. sexual eruption)...Bollywood samples are a good idea for him, but it isnt working on this track...the intro before the beat came in was good...beat is kinda retarded, they shoulda kept it more natural

When I first heard "Drop It Like Its Hot" I hated it. Then I listened to it again... and again... and you guessed it, again. Now, I like it. I have a feeling people will be doing the same on this new record.

The chorus is horrible: just noise/distortion with lame lyrics to make it even worse!
The only enjoyable parts are the verses, but even there, you can't find nothing fresh, it has Cool&Dre;'s percussion signature.

I like this. Snoop dont care about the beat he is giving us this very abstract beat and yet his lyrics make the song complete. It says "i dont care". I like the mysterious beat cuz u always find something more the next time u hear it. no way this is 2 stars.

@that1kid13 - Reviews should ALWAYS remain independent of one another. Just because Snoop has a new song, does not mean another record (featured on the same day) couldn't receive a higher rating. It's not about name recognition, its always music quality.

I'm blown right now, and the production is pretty damn trippy. First 45 seconds are sickkk, but the song really dropped off after that. Pretty retarded lyrics by Snoop here.

Gotta admit the production is pretty sick though.

trippy but a sorta nice effect when you add each component of production... hook is not really nice, and its still that sorta basic snoop dogg flow... but i cant complain. i love that westcoast ridah sound that he brings.

I really hated the hook, and everything else wheneva Snoop wasn't rappin. I agree wit FredRico, its like a bunch of noises bein thrown together and its overwhelming. Its not that catchy at all and Snoop aint nothin special on here at all. I will say that Snoops vibe is always cool on every track, tho. Maybe Z's right and this will grow on me, but garbage right now.

Only thing bad about it in my opinion is that hook, its grown on me a little bit but i would have much rather prefered a nice snoop dogg hook, his verses are hot and im loving that sample

I think this is one of the best songs to come out this year with the exception of Nas new If I Ruled the World. Very original and clever sampling of the Slum Dog Millionaire concept. This beat is gangster as hell and it's rough like DJ Khalil's beats. 5/5
