March 27 [12:00 EST] — Though he’s no longer with us Tupac continues to have a strong impact on his Death Row Records label mate Snoop Doggy Dogg.
Snoop explained at MTV’s Spring Break ’97 last week, when John Norris asked him why he’s planning to release another album on July 4, so soon after last November’s „Tha Doggfather.“
„I learned that from my homeboy Tupac, he was a workaholic,“ Snoop told MTV News.
„He showed me and everybody around us how to focus in on working and being workaholics and doing what we gotta do without time being a factor, just work, without time being a factor. Just get it done, get it situated. If it’s a nice album, if you like it to your ear, then put it out, you know what I’m saying. And that’s what I learned, there’s no such thing as a perfect album. There’s such a thing as working and giving the people what they like, and right now I feel they need another album from me right now.“
Snoop will launch his delayed tour with Dr. Dre, Little Kim, Foxy Brown, and Dru Hill later this spring.
