To me, Johnny Cash is a rapper. His s**t was dope, a lot of rappers don't know that."Cash's song 'A Boy Named Sue' sounds gangster."Dogg releases the single 'Sensual Seduction' in the new year, which will be followed by his ninth studio album Ego Trippin' in March.

    Its about time.

    Cash has always been the fallback guy when "justifying" gangster rap anyways.

    "Johnny Cash sang about shooting a man in Reno just to watch him die... thats the same shit we do!"


    But snoops voice might be more well suited for a Willie Nelson song or something.


    I remember reading some interview a long time ago with Pharoh Monch and they asked him if he could work with any artist, who would it be. His answer was Eddie Vedder. And he was dead serious.

    Since he's clearly past the point of actually making good records, this will be a whole lot more entertaining and fun, and will probably make him a whole lot more money.
