Accidentally flashed her bosom as she dances with herself inside a privately-rented studio with only Sam Lutfi present. Way to go Brit! You definitely did it again.

Rap-Up.com is first to bring you an exclusive look at Snoop Dogg’s ninth studio album Ego Trippin’, which drops March 11th. We were one of the few outlets invited to preview the Doggfather’s latest offering on Wednesday afternoon in Los Angeles. We escaped the rain and headed inside Chalice Studios where we spotted Lindsay Lohan and pal Samantha Ronson hanging out in a nearby studio.
By now you’ve heard the song and seen the video for Snoop’s first single “Sensual Seduction.” Snoop takes the concept of rhythm and gangsta to a whole new level on Ego Trippin’, which was overseen entirely by the QDT Music Group comprised of DJ Quik, Snoop, and Teddy Riley. The result is one of Snoop’s most colorful albums to date. Check out our track-by-track preview below.

Snoop’s A&R Ted Chung (who also appears on Snoop’s E! reality show “Father Hood”) was there to play each track from his laptop. He explained that Snoop didn’t want to reach out beyond his own “sphere” of music with this album. His original intent was to produce and write everything himself, which evolved into making a more “homegrown” album based upon his personal musical influences. This led to the entire project being overseen by DJ Quik, Snoop, and Teddy Riley. Snoop has always been a fan of Teddy Riley (his favorite group in high school was Guy) and they met up when they were both honored at “VH1 Hip-Hop Honors” last year. DJ Quik came in as the finisher and mixed every track on the album. Despite previous reports, The Neptunes-produced “Sets Up” and “Feet Don’t Fail Me Now” will not be featured on the album.

Ill Na Na will release Brooklyn’s Don Diva very soon even if she is still in jail.

This is the second single off the album and the track is Star Cry.

Brooklyn rapper, Uncle Murda was involved in a shooting that he thinks was intended to end his life Tuesday (Jan. 22) night in Brooklyn.

SOHH caught up with the rapper and got the low down on his beef with cops, how he escaped a hit on his life without so much as a concussion and the new album under Roc-A-Fella.

As SOHH previously reported, Murda was shot while sitting in a parked car in Brooklyn. The rapper, whose latest release is titled “Respect the Shooter,” checked himself out of the hospital the next day and headed into the studio with the bullet still in his head.

The irony isn’t lost on him.Uncle Murda

“The shooter got shot, but I’m good,” Uncle Murda told SOHH this afternoon, in an exclusive interview, making light of the graze he suffered in an apparent attempt on his life.

Murda (born Leonard Grant) admitted the incident was “a little bit scary,” but said he’s used to it.

“It ain’t the first time,” he said. “I’ve always gone through situations where people try to take my life. I’ve probably been shot at about five thousand times.”

He said he knows he’s not bullet proof, “just hard to kill, like Steven Seagal,” the rapper joked. “It was a cheap bullet,” Murda continued. “It didn’t penetrate like it was supposed to.“

While the bullet didn’t cause any major damage, it did lodge itself beneath the skin. Doctors told Murda it would fall out in about two to three weeks. When that happens, Murda plans to memorialize the metal.

“I might make it my album cover,” he said.

According to New York’s Daily News, Uncle has a criminal record dating back to 1997, which includes an arrest for attempted murder of a cop and drug charges.

He thinks this time it may have been the other way around though, and was uncooperative with police who he said were on the scene not even minutes after the shot rang out.

“I think they was checking for me,” he said. “I think it was the police that shot me this time. I don’t know, I just got a feeling.“

While Murda doesn’t cite any hard proof to back this allegation, he says he’ll follow his intuition.

“We doin’ our own investigation, GMG/Roc-a-Fella/Man Hood/ Team Invasion/Violator investigations,” Murda said. “We take care of business. We make them suffer.”

Murda said he feels safe, but he knows this probably won’t be the last shot taken at him.

“What comes around goes around,” he admitted. “It sounds f*cked up, but it woulda been what I deserved. Everything I did before in the past might have not been right but it just happened to go down how it went down. I don’t want that to happen, but it woudn’t be surprising being that’s the life I live.”

Murda has two Green Lantern mix tapes out, 2 Hard for Hip Hop and Respect the Shooter. His 2008 Roc-A-Fella release is almost complete and will feature Jay-Z and Nicole Ray on the mic with production by Green Lantern, Toonheads, Roc Wilder, The Winnerz Circle’s Steve O, Stylez and Bryan Stanley of Team B Music.

Gnarls Barkley is set to release their long-awaited sophomore album this April and the genre-stretching group is looking toward their first single.

Rolling Stone recently previewed two tracks from the project, which are reportedly competing for lead single honors.

The pair of cuts have been characterized as drastically different; with one cut leaning towards the funky side, thanks to the use of an organ and French horns. The second song is a darker ballad, marked by an acoustic guitar and Cee-Lo’s foreboding echo, “Who’s gonna save my soul? / I know I’m out of control.”

The latter is said to be more highly favored by Gnarls.

Despite previous plans to release the new album by December 2007, the project, which is rumored to be titled Atlantis, is scheduled for release this April.

In related news, Gnarls vocalist Cee-Lo recently voiced the character Rev. Rolo Goodlove on the popular Cartoon Network Adult Swim show “The Boondocks.”
