Snoop Dogg appeared on Katy Perry’s ‘California Gurls’ because she is a “bad bitch”.<\/p>\n
The ‘Sensual Seduction’ rapper worked with the risque pop star because he likes her attitude, and insists his input to the track – which became a number one single in the UK, US and Australia – was key to its success. <\/p>\n
He told blackbookmag.com: “I worked with Katy because she’s a bad bitch, but she needed a gangster to complete the deal. <\/p>\n
“She had a cake with no candles on it, then she put me on ‘California Gurls’, and it went to number one.”<\/p>\n
Despite appearing on tracks by Katy and Pussycat Dolls as well as enjoying a string of his own hit singles – including rap classics such as ‘Gin And Juice’, ‘Signs’ and ‘Drop It Like It’s Hot’ – the 39-year-old star maintains he is no pop artist. <\/p>\n
He said: “I’m probably the most popular rapper in the world, but I don’t make pop music. I make gangsta s**t. I don’t cross over to pop-pop crosses over to me. <\/p>\n
“I don’t ever aim for radio play. I make s**t that feels good to me, and if top 40 radio catches wind, then great. If they don’t, I’m still gonna do what I gotta do.”<\/p>\n
Snoop Dogg was also today (02.03.11) announced as headliner of Britain’s Lovebox festival, where he will perform his 1993 debut album, ‘Doggystyle’, in full. <\/p>\n
Other acts also confirmed for the event – which takes place between July 15 and 17 in London – include Scissor Sisters, Kelis, The Drums, The Wombats and Example. <\/p>\n
