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 love this track, such a cool laid back country flow with Snoop giving us some catchy verses and a hot chorus. Ive been bumpin this for a while and will continue to. BANGER
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.
YAIAH...JOHNNY CASH DEDICATIONS...DAMN RITE..
SNOOP DOG AL THE WAY..
THIS FLOW OF SNOOP DOG IS DIFFERENT FROM ALL HIS OTHER SONGS,BUT THAT'S WHAT MAKES THIS COUNTRY FLOW OF SNOOP DOG NIC,,,BCOS ITS DIFFERENT...
LIKE VERY MUCH
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.
Boy this is diffrent sounding from snoop dog aint he like a hard core "gansta rapper" well i guess no more. This sounds like a country song to me and I think all country music is crap but this beat wasent bad so its a 3
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.
Loved this track on the album. Really original and catchy and loved the hook. He flows great over the weirdest beats, just like this one. Y'all gonna laugh at me for this rating but I loved this song lol just sounds great
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
What the hell? Snoop did you get bored, where you blazin when you sang this horrific song? Production is subpar... Oh man it gets worse as the song goes on... Pura Basura!
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 fuckin 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.
i heard dis song on mtv on morning n it mad me laugh, its so bad. i dont like it at all. i respect da experimentin but dis is wack. NEVER AGAIN SNOOP!!!!
MARTIN should have played this on the radio when that country dude bought the station. LOL!!!
somethin different. I feel where Snoop is going wit this.
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.
O_M_Gosh neva again!!! DIS iz da worst song ive eva heard on da booth- 4 REAL! Snoop iz get-n worse everytime. NEVA shud u mix country w/ hiz voice or any othat rap artist. DIS iz so baddddd! UGH !
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.
this is fucking amazing. my favourite song on the album for sure. may i like medicine a little too much i don't know. this song just shows how versitile snoop is. love it
snoops got some "big nuts" to even contemplate let alone release this...but i can picture him laughing his ass off!...all the way to the bank to get his money...and buy his medicine
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.
i ahve to give him da props For doin somthin new but it was iight and some pf it was lame but he pulled it off and Every body needs to so somthing new and it was not dat bad i guess he done good from we he has been doin u hav to give him his props from goin to RAP TO COUNTRY! And he put a little spice to it GOOD JOB SNOOP DOGG!!!!!!
Wayyyyy different den wut I'm used 2 from Snoop, but I like da song. Not a country fan @ all, but snoop makes it sound good. Im shocked 2 say dis bout a country type song, but its a classic!
