SONG REVIEW: "Special" by Snoop Dogg (featuring Brandy & Pharrell)

California rapper Snoop Dogg is a legend in hip-hop for one of several good reasons.  Once he has that hit-making chemistry with a top producer (i.e., Dr. Dre and Pharrell), he comes back to them for more hits in his new projects.  After creating #1 hits with "Beautiful" and "Drop It Like It's Hot," Pharrell produces this hot new hip-hop love ballad "Special" with R&B diva Brandy.  The trio makes magic on the midtempo ballad.

Though it is rumored to be a single from the upcoming album Malice In Wonderland, the jam sounds great as a summer cut.
