Reception

Controversy

On March 24, 2003, a lawsuit was filed against Snoop Dogg, in which a Californian man (who kept his anonymity for security reasons) claimed that his life was endangered, after the rapper had included, without his permission, a 50-second phone message the plaintiff had left in the album's last track "Pimp Slapp'd". The message was about making fun of then-Death Row Records' CEO Suge Knight (who was an ex-producer for Snoop Dogg), while Suge was in jail at the time for the MGM arena mayhem, was supporting Snoop Dogg in the rivalry between him and Knight. The man identified as John Doe, leaving a voice message for Snoop last October, and for months was unaware that it had to be included as part of a song on the album.

After hearing the track himself, the plaintiff called Snoop and inquired about the message's inclusion, to which he replied "because it was so real." John Doe, who was identified on the answering machine as Jim Bob, insisted the album be recalled and cancelled for distribution in its current form. The plaintiff lives in Compton as does Knight, who is known to still have affiliations with the Bloods gang. He stated in court papers that he had been threatened verbally several times and that he fears his and his mother's life due to Knight's close proximity. The judge dismissed a lawsuit for common law appropriation of voice and intentional infliction of emotional distress on February 3, 2004 because privacy can not be maintained while leaving a message on another's recording device.^[13]^[14]^[15]
