This is one of the main reasons I love Snoop D oh double..he does what he wants, when he wants and WHERE he wants. Who doesn’t approve of a ‘mover & shaker?’ Snoop Dogg had an ambitious plan for his new music video – the rapper reportedly wanted to hire out the entire country of Liechtenstein (in Europe) as a stage set. The hip-hop star approached officials in the tiny European country – which covers just 61.7 square miles and boasts a population of only 35,000 – and asked to film his new promo there.
On the album art for Rated R: “I wanted pictures that represented strength and fearlessness but still femininity—a strong woman who can be vulnerable. Every woman is made up of vulnerability and strength; no matter what race you are, no matter what you’ve been through in your life. Every woman has that strength that is undeniable, but we also have really big hearts. It’s just us.”
