Becks checks Dogg’s decks

 

Compton-style ... Snoop Dogg with Sun's Gordon

SNOOP DOGG may be the most American man in the world but he is relying on Brits to help shape his new album.

The rapper spent Wednesday in a studio with GORILLAZ chief DAMON ALBARN making a track for his latest record.
And he revealed he will get his main man D-BECKS (DAVID BECKHAM, to me and you) to give it a once-over before it's signed off.
Snoop said: "D-Becks is one of my guys. Whenever I make a record and get to the last few stages I call him in and give him a copy so he can hear it before it's done.
"The Beckham family are my family too. They're automatic, straight to the top."
Yesterday Snoop took me shopping to get me kitted out for T In The Park - and he said the only way to style out the misery of mud was to dress Compton-style.
He said: "Festival clothes. You gotta stand out. This is what I'd dress my Scotsman in if you want to go Compton-style."

Legend

The big dawg covered the bill, so I can't moan too much. But the garish yellow clobber is more likely to get me a shift as a steward than in Eminem's entourage.
Snoop's had a summer to remember in the UK.
He saved Glastonbury, overshadowing headliners MUSE and Gorillaz, and his performance at Wireless was the only positive of an underwhelming Saturday line-up.
On Thursday the hip-hop legend was in Manchester playing an Orange RockCorps gig, topping a bill featuring TINIE TEMPAH, MR HUDSON and VAMPIRE WEEKEND.
The 3,000-strong audience at Manchester Apollo was made up of youngsters who did four hours of voluntary work on community projects to earn a ticket.
Snoop pitched in too before the gig, helping to paint the Ordsall Community Centre in Salford before having a kickabout with fellow volunteers outside.
Joining Snoop was Man Utd's RIO FERDINAND who said: "I've got all his albums right from his first, Doggystyle, which is still my favourite." Snoop lived up to recent form at the Apollo, wearing Rio's United No 5 shirt which he gave him earlier in the day.

He dipped into recent tracks such as Sensual Seduction and Drop It Like It's Hot before going "Old Skool" with What's My Name and Doggy Dog World.
Snoop had to raise his game following Tinie's top set. The Brit got the audience bouncing with next single Written In The Stars, his take on GAGA's Bad Romance and signature hit Pass Out.
Snoop signed off in the UK last night at London's O2 Shepherd's Bush Empire as part of his Malice In Wonderland tour. But, as he told his Manchester crowd: "You ain't seen the last of the Big Dogg over here."
These days, he's welcome back any time.
