I Wanna Thank Me

Snoop Dogg

Nearly a year after receiving a star on the

Hollywood Walk of Fame, rap legend Snoop

Dogg has repurposed a few famous words,

“I Wanna Thank Me”, from his acceptance

speech that day. It’s a fitting title for a studio

album that, while 100% comprising new

material, sounds like a thematic retrospective

of Snoop’s career.

FIVE FACTS:

1. Snoop Dogg’s off-stage name is Calvin
   Cordozar Broadus Jr.


2. The rapper first rose to prominence when
   he featured on “Deep Cover”, Dr. Dre’s debut
   solo single.


3. In the early 2010s, Snoop Dogg released
   some material, including a reggae
   album and documentary film both titled
   Reincarnated, under the short-lived alias
   Snoop Lion.


4. I Wanna Thank Me is Snoop Dogg’s 17th
   solo album.


5. One of the new album’s tracks, “So
   Misinformed”, samples Bob Marley and
   focuses on the legacy of slavery.
