Snoop Dogg has released a new collaboration with an unexpected partner. GaryVee, who is credited as an artist on the song alongside Snoop, is a serial entrepreneur and internet marketing expert. The two have joined forces to release a new song titled "Please Take A Step Back." Snoop Dogg is going to be featured in Gary's new NFT collection. The song is intended to serve as a source of musical inspiration for the upcoming collection, as well as the theme for Gary's well-known YouTube vlog series.
GaryVee had a lot to say about the project. “As a fan, Snoop has been a part of my life for 30 years. I could not communicate to you what 18-year-old Gary is feeling right now,” he said. “The idea of taking a step back has been something that’s been woven through my content for 15 years. Every time I say ‘patience’ in my content, that’s saying take a step back." The artist went on to explain the importance of taking a moment to figure out who you are. "Every time I’m saying ‘be empathetic and care about the other person’, every time I’m saying ‘be self aware, know yourself,'" he continued. "What I’m really saying to people is take a step back, take a breath, take a beat, and figure out who the f*ck you are.”
Snoop and Gary Give Life Lessons
According to a press release for the song, it will also welcome participants to the 2nd annual VeeCon. The conference plays host to many programs with discussions about world business leaders. The conference will also host performances from "superstar" artists. The program will be held in Indianapolis in late May. It is unclear if Snoop plans to attend or perform. There will, however, be an animated video for the song. It is slated to drop on May 9th.
The lyrics on "Please Take a Step Back" may come off as a little bit corny to some. Others, however, may find it refreshing. On the track, Snoop raps about following your dreams, setting goals, and financial literacy. It isn't exactly what you would expect, but you never know what's going to happen in 2023. Oddly enough, because of the way that Snoop performs the lyrics, the message really gets across. At the midway point of the song, GaryVee has some words of inspiration that play as a sample. "Recognize that you can attack the world in a totally different way," he says. "Because you were lucky enough to be born during this era."
Quotable Lyrics:
Now take a few steps back back, adjust ya cap,
Integrate, calculate, 'bout to whip you into shape,
Re-invest in real estate,
And try to stack a hunnid different meals on ya plate,
Deals on ya plate,
Ha, yea it’s true that dreams become true,
If it happened for me, then it could happen for you
