Snoop Dogg recently spoke to AllHipHop.com [ [http://www.allhiphop.com/features/index.asp?ID=1567 AllHipHop.com interview] ] about the track off "Tha Blue Carpet Treatment" which
Dr.Dre produced and featuresR. Kelly . Snoop explained "Dr.Dre called me today. We’ve been working on my record. He helped me fix this song I did with R.Kelly. It was a hit record before I gave it Dre, but now it’s a super hit record. He made me strike all my vocals. That means, 'Take all your lyrics off, I don’t like ‘em. They’re wack.' I even go through that shit too. To this day, you know what I mean? I ain’t too big to take criticism. He made me take all my lyrics off and me and D.O.C. had to come up with some more shit that was just extraordinary." The title comes from R. Kelly repeatedly saying "That's that shit!" in the song.The song samples the melody played in the movie "
Coming to America " during the bathroom scene whenEddie Murphy gets washed by female servants. [http://www.dubcnn.com/interviews/nottz/ DubCNN interview with Nottz] ]The song was performed live at the
MTV Europe Music Awards 2006 , although R. Kelly wasn't present. The curiosity of the live act was that the intro of the song was the same cut as in the movie with theVictoria Dillard skit at the end, which was left unedited in the direct broadcast, though in the later reruns of the program, "penis" was censored. Though R. Kelly wasn't present here either, the song was also performed live at the 2006BET Hip Hop Awards and at the 2006 American Music Awards. R. Kelly's part wasplayback in the events.The video premiered on
MTV Tuesday,November 7 th at 3:30pmEST onTRL .The album version differs from the video/single in its intro, whereas the lyrics includes the movie intro (see below), and R. Kelly answering "Thank you". The clean version has the title shortened to exclude profanity, and has R. Kelly's final solo hook its "
sex " word taken out.US 12"-vinyl tracklisting [ [http://www.discogs.com/release/817408 Snoop Dogg - That's That / Crazy ] ]
