Snoop's Ego Trippin release party

Flickerazzi - Snoop Dogg’s Ego Trippin’ Release Party at Club Touch +  New Video

Last night, New York’s Club Touch was the location of Snoop’s invitation only Ego Trippin release party. That didn’t mean that word wasn’t out. Desperate party people showed up to get in whether they were invited or not. Among those stuck outside?

America’s Top Model winner Jaslene Gonzalez.

She was flicked with a friend outside the club in what we’ll call.. happier times. A few minutes later, Jaslene was spotted pleading with bouncers and the keeper’s of the velvet rope to .. Please, let me in! Apparently, ANTM nor a Tyra Bank’s business card meant anything to them - Jaslene was DENIED.

As the still growing crowd outside the club grew restless, cops on the scene called for backup.

Ten police cars swooped in and locked the block down. Meanwhile, inside, someone pulled a fire alarm, which brought the Fire Department to the festivities.

The amazing thing in all of this?

No one got hurt. No one was arrested. Just another club night in NYC.

What’s the saddest thing about Jaslene being dismissed?.. Monifa.. was in the house. Yeah, that Monifa. Talk about a random milk carton appearance. Where has she been?

Kandi (from Xscape) and Anthony Anderson were on the scene. Only pictured together - don’t start those rumors.

Although, I’m beginning to wonder..

“Life of Da’ Party,” the second single and video from Ego Trippin, is online too.

Although I do like it - got to be honest - if this was some new artist’s song, it’d be more trash strewn across hip-hop’s sidewalk. You know, the whole, are we still making songs about the club?, thing.

Party music is and always has been a soundtrack to life, though, (see above). So here, brand names make all the difference (Snoop, Too Short, Mistah F.A.B.) - kinda like Pepsi and Coke vs. generic knock offs -  Is RC Cola still on Walmart’s shelves?

Be illiterate (Lil’ Wayne), get a hook (Soulja Boy), act stupid and repeatedly have dealings with the police (DMX) and you will be right on target to be a rapper
