You asked for it-- um, didn't you?-- and now Massive Attack (well, members 3D and Daddy G under the 100 Suns alias they use for soundtrack work) and Snoop Dogg have created the collaboration you've all been waiting for. No, not M.I.A.'s baby, it's a stormy, groove-governed new song about Mumia Abu Jamal, "Calling Mumia" (from the soundtrack to In Prison My Whole Life, opening in the UK this weekend). Snoop's delivery is, as usual, smoothly emphatic, even if he can't always avoid the kind of stupidly obvious lyric required of this whole "Hurricane" genre of protest song: "It's sad, cause a man lost his life/ Family's cryin', witnesses lyin'." Sort of, like... are you even tryin'?Overall, though, Snoop somehow shows more cultural awareness and linguistic nimbleness than he spread across almost all of Ego Trippin' (I kind of love "Sexual Eruption", though). "I got a lot to say," he says, and know what-- he does. Wha? ...Snoop Dogg?? Hey, his little quasi-ad libs are pretty nice, too: "Tell my homey Jamal/ Whattup, whattup man."100 Suns' arrangement surrounds a throbbing bassline with Return to Cookie Mountain guitar squall. Snoop starts shouting, but backing vocals about being back against the wall stay soft and stoned. Man, if I had any ideas of my own maybe I could do something other than quote Jonathan Richman lyrics this CMJ week: "So join Nelson Mandela and Susan Sarandon/ Join Harry Belafonte, yes, the list goes on and on/ And protest with a letter, or maybe a phone call/ For there on death row stands Abu Jamal." Hey Mumia, Snoop called. He says whattup.Stream:> 100 Suns (Massive Attack) vs. Snoop Dogg: "Calling Mumia"[from the In Prison My Whole Life OST; movie opening this weekend in the UK]
