Snoop Dogg's Amy inspiration

30-08-2007 07:30

Snoop Dogg's new album is inspired by Amy Winehouse.

The rapper is a huge fan of the troubled singer's worldwide hit record 'Back to Black' and admits her honest and heartfelt lyrics made him want to make his forthcoming LP on his own.

He said: "When I'm listening to it, I'm learning who she is. It's like when you listen to James Brown, he did it by himself, and Curtis Mayfield, all by himself."

Snoop is turning his back on his usual superstar collaborators and is planning on baring his soul on the hotly-anticipated album.

He explained: "I'm going to do the whole record by myself.

"I don't want no guest rappers this time round, no singers, nothing. Just Snoop Dogg! I want you to feel me."

Snoop has previously recorded with Justin Timberlake, Pharrell Williams, 50 Cent and Dr Dre.
