Has anyone else laughed about this video?

Obviously, Snoop is a huge fan of 70s and 80s old school funk. Look at the not-so-subtle homage to When Doves Cry!

Hope I am allowed to post this video as it isn't a Prince vid.

TOO FUNNY!! love this song, by the way

Yeah, this song is kinda hot.. But Snoop is using that voice thing that T-pain uses.

I saw this on t.v. for the first time this morning! I tbought I was seeing things at first. This video is cool.

I like

Ummm, this is a little scary. Cease and Desist letters are in the mail for video copyright enfringement from Prince, Shaft, Parliament Funkadelic, Bootsy Collins and Antonio Fargas. I didn't know Snoop could 'sing' and I like the song too...

You also forgot the estate of Roger Troutman, might want to get into that class action lawsuit as well

I'm glad to see that ol' Snoop knows how to put a cap on the cheese.
Though not on the ambiguity.
I mean,
what in the world could "sensual seduction" be a metaphor for, anyways?

That was fun to watch. When Doves Cry is the video!
Paying some homage to the master.

That was a cool song, it was just surprising to see him singing. But right away I could tell which was the Prince video.

Imitation is the best form of flattery!

Stank.

It's called a Vocoder (aka Talk Box), and Roger (from Zapp) used it prob'ly before T-Pain was even born.

this is lovely! snoop is such a twat! the dance moves let him down big time. Good effort tho 4 trying 2 get sensuall, BUT even tho the song is lame, prince is the only person tht could sing those cheesy lines & get the girls cr**my!

The Vocoder and Talk Box are two different things.
Roger used the Talk Box, T-Pain is probably using Auto-Tune.

Snoop is great in his own right...he has emerged as an outstanding rapper!

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery!

Yes and a vocoder is used for the voices of Soundwave (Transformers) and the cyclons (Balltlestar Galactica)
Isn't Snoop using a Auto-Tune too in this song? Because it doesn't sound like a talk box (which is implied by the video)

A-u-t-o-t-u-n-e

Funny.....
A $2.00 video and a 50cent song.

OKAY! Love Snoop, like the song, video was passable if not HILARIOUS, total homage to P with the shiny lame(la-MAY) suit, hat with netting and best of all the do-rag with the long hair. THAT was the best!

It also proved that any one can "sound" like they are singing with a vocoder/autotune/soundwave whatever-the-hell-it-is-thingy. Hate those by the way (except for Computer Love, that was real AND the iSht!) but T-pain can jump in a lake as far as I'm concerned.

Funny shit, hot chicks and not a bad song.

I love it!

That's smooth. The voice reminds me of Zapp tribute. The video kicks a hybrid between When doves cry and Raspberry Beret.

that was fun

it is so refreshing to see a rapper that looks human and real and relaxed and funny

Not a fan of Snoop not even close but I enjoyed seeing that....they have a long way to go

I gotta check this out, Snoop has always been a favorite of mine. =]

I wish the song was a little mo funky like the video but otherwise it is one of my favs this year. Creative

thanks for clarifying. I think that it's pretty funny how so many of today's artists use that kind of correction mechanism.

TANKAEFC said:

No probs.

Yea, it is kinda sad. Auto-Tune can be used to produce that 'robotic' voice, but it's also (primarily) used to make singers that sound like shit, sound good on albums

Love it - cant believe he's singing either

Love the song and vid is too cool...
