Skip onto 2:45 in his Valentines day GGN news that can be found here and Snoop talks about the music of the two artists

Now which Prince songs would Snoop Dogg sample?

He did a cover of The Time track 'Cool' which was written by Prince.

"F*ck that play your own instruments sh*t ... we got computers n sh*t" ???

blimey, is that why every Snoop album after Tha Blue Carpet Treatment has been whacked out boutique shopping wallpaper?

I had no idea about the Cool cover though, woulda been a nice surprise if i'd been buying records in 08!

The most obvious Snoop sampling P would be 18 n Over, if only for the obvious P pastiching Snoop Dre in the first place!

Every artist has the right to decide what can be done with their music (if they own the publishing that is). I really hope snoop is joking with his attitude regarding Prince. I totally think him downing Prince for being able to play his own instruments is ridiculous. If he likes the music he and his 100"s of musicians and computers are creating, then why does he need to sample Prince in the first place?Just a thought.

Snoop is awesome. I love when he gives commentary like that.

I respect Snoop's (older) work, but he made himself sound stupid as shit.

Damn Snoop's stock just went down alot in my book with stupid ass comments like that.

No whats bullshit Snoop is that whack ass video shit your doing and all the dumb ass talentless shit-hop fucks that are out der dat cant play fukin shit on a real instrument...you dig???

Actually Snopp's comments are EXCATLY why Prince does NOT allow these cats 2 sample his work.

He just proved Prince's POINT loud and clear.

asif snoop would have been famous without dre's use of old school samples, quite hilarious

bingo G-Money

Well, the only good stuff he ever did was full of P-Funk riffs. I haven't heard any music made by his computers that was any good... He's just pissed cause Prince says no to him. Get in line Snoop.

I like Snoop Dogg.

No, but it is what it is.

Prince is actually cool for doing that.. Most artists would accept just to make some cash but he choses to stick with what he believes is better for his music...

he sounds scorned... not sure why any of you would get upset with these comments. There is some truth in them as far as Prince not being in hip hop and that has been interntional

the muscian comments were disrespectful but what do you expect from Snoop? He is a hustler a rapper with no musical background

snoop is old as hell and needs to sit down thats for sure.... when I saw him in that Katy Perry video it ruined it for me

go some where and sit down old man

Dude.

He's younger than Prince.

i admit snoop was great in the 90s, but i havent heard anything worth listening to since the next episode. i'm always confused as to how people give him so much credit until i remember he marketed himself(sold out?) extremely well

Dissapointed in what Snoop said, I hope he is joking, because I am fan of his.

Just comes across as real bitter. Prince wrote, and worked hard creating those masterpieces, he has every right whether to allow someone to sample his stuff or not.

Snoop needs to STFU. Prince is a musical genius, respect is due. None of his homies play like Prince and he knows it. Sit down Calvin. He's just mad because Prince has his shit on lock, and rightfully so.

lmao...snoop is fuckin hilarious.

It's too bad his music sucks balls now, he used to be the best rapper ever back in the day...even better than Pac or Biggie IMO.

Morris Day and Time doesn't = masterpiece...more like master crap....and according to Snoop, Prince won't let anybody touch even that.

I love Prince, but dude has got the biggest ego maybe of all-time. There might not be a more pretentious, full of shit, full of himself musician in the history of rock n' roll....and that's saying something.

Snoop Doog, cant be that upset at the fact that Prince doesnt allow the use of his music without havent asked him before but got shot down

Some of you say he sounds "scorned" or "bitter",but think about it, who isnt after dealing with Prince?

Bitch ass Snoop fake Long Beach Punk! Prince is not a sellout. You wannna make music?

Create your own and so you can see how hard it is to be a REAL Musician!

Smoke some more maybe you can come up with an original thought.

Punk ass!

Snoop used to be a better rapper than 2pac and Biggie? The only aspect of rapping Snoop was better at than 2pac was freestyling. As far as Snoop being better than Biggie, that's a stretch. Snoop only had one great album, Big got 2.

snoop is definitely extremely overrated, not to say he wasnt great back in the day. but he's somehow reached godfather of rap status these days for no fucking reason. dynamite marketing i guess

Rhythm n Gangster was a masterpiece though - pisses all over Paid Tha Co$t (to be tha Bo$$), though that did have Batman and Robin on it.

And if I have to rely on a computer to check whether Signs (ft J Timbalake) was a real band or a very clever piece of tempo mis-mapping to confuse Serato users... well

it's a load of fuss to be making over a youtube series after the likes of Charlie Sheen's winning thing whose name escapes me. Winning? I'll have that diamond encrusted gold monocle in Google Weed Spot Bluetooth please!

And besides, it's not about sampling Michael Jackson. it's about sampling Quincy Jones!
