Snoop Dogg Explains Why
When Kendrick Lamar recorded the self-empowering track “i” he said that it was in- spired by not only his homies behind bars, but also by his fans who told him that his music kept them from com- mitting suicide.
Last weekend while head- lining the Sweetlife Festival in Maryland, he came face-to- face with another one of those special fans.
“I’m at the end of the show, and I see this young lady crying, and I’m thinking, She must be really going through something right now,” the Compton rapper told MTV News. “Then I start hearing her murmur with her lips, ‘You saved my life.’ So I’m like, Damn. This is seri- ous. This is not for play, why she’s out here right now. She came to see the person that actually helped her get through a life, through music.”
He added that the fan, Claire, said that she was going to kill herself last year.
“So I said, at that point, I gotta bring her up onstage and show her some love and let her know this is real.”
While onstage, K.Dot em- braced Claire as she broke

At 15, Claire was diag-
nosed with severe depression and said that Kendrick’s music is what “got her through” such a hard time.
“And I couldn’t have done it without him,” the 16-year- old told MTV News. “I lis- tened to his music over and over and there were nights where I thought I was going to end it all, and I didn’t, and I think that’s because his words impacted me in a way that no other artist has ever done. I can’t thank him enough. I can’t thank the people behind him enough for making him come to the earbuds that I lis- ten to. I feel inseparable from his music.”
When he brought her to the stage, she finally had the chance to share with him how his words saved her life and spend time with him back- stage.

Dogg Did Not Make LP
Snoop Dogg dropped his 13th studio album Bush ear- lier this month. The 10-track project included features by Stevie Wonder, T.I., Kendrick Lamar, and Rick Ross, but there was at least one more guest vocalist the Long Beach representative wanted to add to the tracklist.
The Doggfather spoke with Vibe about Bush. During the interview, Snoop re- vealed he had a song with his late 213 collaborator Nate Dogg that did not make the album. While Pharrell Williams handled most of the production on Bush, the Nate Dogg track was pro- duced by Fredwreck.

before I tried to do something to it, because every time I would try to write, I would get emotional and cry, and could- n’t finish it ‘cause the way he was singing on it, the sh*t he was saying. So I ended up giv- ing it to a writer to write it for me and and he sounded good. It felt good and Pharrell loved it. It’s just the producer didn’t like the way the mix sounded.’’
