Snoop Dogg is holding out for a collaboration with either the Rolling Stones or Madonna - because he wants to experience what it's like not to be "the big one" on a track.
He tells Nylon Guys magazine, "I wanna be on a track where I'm not the big one. I wanna do a Madonna or a Rolling Stones or a Quincy Jones - something where their name is bigger than mine."

The 51-year-old star already has two children from Malawi, son David Banda and daughter Mercy, as well as Rocco, from her marriage to Guy Ritchie, and Lourdes, from a previous relationship.
But the singer, whose eight-year marriage with film director Ritchie ended last year, has said she could expand her family.
Asked whether she would adopt again, she told GMTV: "Never say never."
The star, who funds the Raising Malawi charity serving 25,000 orphaned children, added: "I'm really proud of the work that I'm doing in Africa. I feel a tremendous sense of accomplishment in terms of my career and the work that I have done.
"I have four children now and I'd like to think I'm a good mother. I feel a great sense of satisfaction in all areas of my life."
Madonna, who has moved back to New York following her split with Ritchie, said she did not miss London pubs.
But the pop queen, whose former husband owns the Punch Bowl pub in London, said: "I miss being able to walk around the neighbourhood. It's more mellow, laid back and relaxed (in London) than it is in Manhattan."
