What is it with Snoop and improbable collaborations? After featuring the Bee Gees and Jim Morrison (R.I.P.) in some of his more recent work, he enlists the help of Irish rocker Everlast for his new single, My Medicine. The self-medicating rapper really comes out of left field on this one, rapping over some down-home acoustic strumming evocative of a Johnny Cash tune. In fact, the track sounds much more like country music than it does hip hop. Most listeners will likely find themselves scratching their heads after hearing My Medicine, wondering if Snoop might have taken one bong hit too many. Regardless, it’s clear that the man is having fun with his music, and that’s always what he has been principally concerned with. Check out more experimental Snoop on the recently-released Ego Trippin’.
Note: The streaming of “My Medicine” has temporarily been suspended.

I don't like this song. I thought Snoops last album was hot at first but it really didn't stand the test of time. When I hear it now I get kind of annoyed to be honest.

Great job by Snoop. The whole country vibe is magnificent. He does a great job. I give him kudos for the creativity and originality. "By my medicine, by my medicine" is a catchy hook. 3.5 rating.

This song was terrible. I have the album, if this is what he's bringin out as a single, my man is not gettin the best outta his album, just like he didn't get the best outta his team! The lakers folded and honestly I'm happy 4 KG, but some of the Lakers on this years team shouldn't be back next year. And thats commin form a true fan. Love um win or loose. WESTSIDE UP!

Well there's always been rumors that his origins were actually in Mississippi; could this bring some truth to it? (unlikely). Even if this isn't your 'type' of track, you have to give the man a whole lotta credit for constantly trying fresh directions. Snoop managed to steer clear of the corny implications this type of track would bring about.

Ya know I heard this morning that Snoop was gonna do a country album. I do appreciate the originality and creativity. To be perfectly honest about this song.......THIS IS FUC%@NG HORRIBLE!!!!! I don't know what he was thinking to put out this crap. I hope I NEVER EEEEEVER hear this song again.

Oh my God what's this? It could have been in the Across The Universe soundtrack lol! I recognise this is fresh for sure, but fresh doesn't mean good. At least, this is not good for me. Just ok

This is exactly what has happened to the industry. For years, fans of hip hop (like all of us) have complained that it is boring and the artists are uncreative. Now, Snoop gets creative and some listeners are thinking, "Snoop? Where did he go? What the heck is this?" It's a lose-lose for these artists, but there are very few who could pull this off without waving goodbye to their career. Snoop is at the top of that short list.

This is @*#$! amazing its got like nice country vibe that's laid back. Not many could pull this off. Snoop did it AGAIN!!!!!
By the way E-dub...ever heard of Cowboy Troy and Big & Rich...they have a heavy hip hop influence and damn they're good. This is what i like to hear. A more CREATIVE way to talk about bitches, hoes, pimps and weed hahaha. I'm kidding. |

honestly, i dont take this as experimenting, i take this as an ode to country singers, obviously and especially johnny cash. "get my cash, buy my medicine" - johnny cash completely...snoop was smart with this one...its not meant to be a radio hit...its meant to be that song u listen to when ur in the mood for something different, melodic, and semi-tribute... i cant rate it because its a different category.

This was one of the worst songs on Ego Trippin'. Like DJ Z said, this is a lose lose situation for any artist, a rap/country mix is like a peanut butter and ketchup sandwich....disgusting.

I agree DJZ. Nobody can do nothing . If they sound the same, people complain, and if they sound new, people complain. Hahaha...Mayne, I remember the episode of Martin. Yeah, this would have been perfect. But I feel this is straight. I remember the last time someone has Country Rap out, myself and many other loved it. (If you forget what I'm talking about, go to YOUTUBE and search "Bubba Sparxx-Deliverance" and truthfully tell me you wasn't feeling that. C'mon now. That banged)

Y’all are just so unreceptive to what’s different! What do you mean rap shouldn’t mix with country?! It mixes with every other musical genre there is, you just gotta make it right, and that’s what Snoop did. Sure he was having fun, but he was also payin tribute to a legend and I loved the idea of the song as well as Snoop’s versatility! Y’all just want to look cool, so you don’t like… And Snoop is not getting worse at all (WOW:))! I like his two previous albums; I guess the difference is… I actually listened to them! ;) Production is by Everlast… y’all remember him? That was a good work, all instruments involved, flow, lyrics and the singing along worked well!

Fightin words going down on a country song? Country music sucks ass! sure I gave this a 3 for the rapping over it. But I hope that I NEVER HERE ANOTHER COUNTRY HIP HOP SONG AGAIN. That will kill hip hop for sure. Imagine a country music award show with country music artists and rap artists. It would be funny. I mean when you have Carie Underware when another award Snoop Dog will yell West Side!! Thats my dog Carie for sizle.I would laugh and you know it would happen.

Snoop is a certified westcoast legend, thats why he can do ANYTHING now, from singing pop songs to doing country songs... he doesnt have? anything else to prove, he's just enjoying his life and getting paid... but if Snoop fans went into a coma in 1996 and woke up in present day, i wonder what would they say lol
