Snoop has admitted to MTV that he and Puffy will be collaborating on more than just one track for his next album, and Puffy has let it be known that wants to executive produce the album. But as would most people – he doesn’t want to tread on Dre’s toes.
Puffy said: "I went to Snoop and I told him I want him to do his next album with Dre. As a fan, I love when him and Dre are together. But at the same time, if that don't work out, I want to get a crack at that next album. I'm trying to put together a movie for [Snoop], a movie on wax. That's what we always loved when Dre and Snoop got together, it was a movie on wax. When me and Biggie did an album together, it was a movie on wax. [Snoop's] an artist that I can get really motivated by to do something historical. Snoop to me is the quintessential version of a rap superstar. His presence, his confidence onstage, in the studio... he's just so special and his energy is so positive. If you know Snoop, he's really a comedian. I get motivated by people that help to make me better and enlighten me to stuff. Whenever we've worked in the studio, which is a couple of times, he's open to taking direction. He doesn't feel he's too big to take direction."
