Snoop Dogg - Platinum (Remix)
Artist: Snoop Dogg
Featuring: R. Kelly , Busta Rhymes
Producer: Lex Luger
Album: Doggumentary
Label: RCA
Two months and change since the release of Snoop Dogg‘s 11th studio album, the set still has a ways to go before it receives gold certification, let alone Platinum. How does he plan on bridging that gap? Evidently taking a page from New Age bestseller The Secret, the West Coast mainstay has returned with an official remix of his project’s third single, in hopes that if he thinks and talks about it enough, that precious metal will manifest itself in his life. Hey, it could happen! Anyway, this version of the record features only minor tweaks from the Booth-approved original—retaining Lex Luger‘s bumping synth production, Snoop’s laconic flows and R. Kelly‘s swag-drenched guest vocals, the remix throws another rap heavyweight into the mix; on the penultimate verse, Busta Rhymes evokes the oddly hilarious image of the rap vet frantically rummaging through a treasure chest, struggling to decide which glittering substance to make off with (Guess what he chooses?). So, is this revamp deserving of its pricey title? You decide—and, if you haven’t already, grab a copy of Snoop’s Doggumentary, released in March.

I will always love Snoop, but this sound/direction just doesn't work for him. I cannot help but feel disappointment when I listen to him spit over a Lex Luger beat. This remix won't help him move units, but at least its good to hear consistent efforts from Busta these days.

Why can't Snoop flow like this on other songs and his guest features? R. Kelly rapping just isn't my thing and isn't his. Busta was though.

Busta and Snoop were solid. Kelly was pretty average. Beat ain't my thing either. 2.5 rounded up.

Basically the same song plus a Busta verse, not bad, but I'm getting really wore out on remixes. Why does every song have 2 have a remix, Y?

Nothing special about the remix...its just the same song with Busta Rhymes verse. However, Busta did kill his set.

I wasn’t a big fan of the original. I’m not a fan of this.
