Welcome to part 2 of our look at Snoop Dogg's 'Ego Trippin''.
DJ Quik, Tedd Riley, and Scoop DeVille are credited as the producers of 'Ego Trippin''s fifth single 'Those Gurlz', which samples the Bee Gees' 'Too Much Heaven' from 1978's 'Spirits Having Flown'. Snoop's 'One Chance (Make it Good)' utilizes a sample from Prince Phillip Mitchell's similarly titled 'Make it Good'. Hitboy and Polow Da Don use a sample of Mike Oldfield's 'Celtic Rain' for the track 'Why Did You Leave Me'. The album's final track, 'Can't Say Goodbye', produced by Teddy Riley and co-starring Charlie Wilson, samples the 80s pop hit 'The Way It Is' by Bruce Hornsby and the Range.

Bonus Cuts:
Mike Oldfield is probably best known for his work on his debut 1973 album 'Tubular Bells' and the use of the song 'Tubular Bells' in the movie 'the Exorcist'. The song both launched Oldfield's career as well as launched Virgin Records into a telecom giant. In 1997, 'Tubular Bells' was sampled by Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis (and perhaps other unlisted producers like J Dilla) on the title track to Janet Jackson's album 'The Velvet Rope'.
