While rap has never been a top favorite of mine (I do like all genres of music though) for some reason or another I don't know why, I have always liked Snoop Dogg. He takes a different approach on this album. Packed with a total of twenty-one tracks. which is a bit excessive, but hey it's Snoop Doggy Dog. It sounds like he has done what prior gangster rappers do when they retire. taking a more mellow and leisurely style approach to the songs. Then again it could be because of all he's been through over the years dodging bullets, rivals and court cases but all along setting the pavement that many rappers walk on today. Maybe with this change you'll find him laying in the Florida sun, instead of walking the streets of Compton or Long Beach in California.
GREAT CD!!!!!!!!!!!!
I believe K. Hood "Rayfellet" said it best.
This album is snoops best next to doggy style. It has such an original sound throughout the album. DJ Quik, Snoop and Teddy Riley have made a masterpiece
1. (A Word Witchya!) 5/5 Smooth intro
2. (Press Play) 5/5 So so, funky. Quik did it on this track
3. (SD Is Out) 5/5 Good follow up to press play, HUGE BASS!
4. (Gangsta Like Me) 4/5 classic Snoop, with a twist
5. (Neva Have 2 Worry) 2/5 song gets tired and is a biography song
6. (Sexual Eruption) 4/5 Radio song obviously, Love the Roger Troutman touch with the voice box.
7. (Life of da Party) 3/5 Good bass, Dance cut.
8. (Waste of Time) 5/5 Smooth track, very well produced
9. (Cool) 4.5/5 This a great cover to an epic 80's track
10. (Sets Up) 2/5 Weak track, very repetitive.
11. (Deez Hollywood) 4/5 Classic old scooh sound.
12. (Whateva U do) 5/5 Diss song to many! Good production!
13. (Staxxx In My Jeans)3/5 Gangsta Gangsta, takes me back to Topp Dawg.
14. (Been Around tha world) 5/5 clean bass and a fresh sound.
15. (Let It Out) 4/5 Fun track.
16. (My Medicine) 5/5 SNOOP DONE COUNTRY! It works too!
17. (Ridn In My Chevy) 2/5 Too Dirrrty south for snoop.
18. (Those Gurlz) 5/5 Classic Cali Beat. Sun is shining on this track!
19. (One Chance) 5/5 smooooooooooooth.
20. (Why did you Leave Me) 2/5 Clean track, but very very very whiny.
21. (Can't Say Goodbye) 4/5 Sounds a bit like 2pac's Changes.
All in all this is a smooth album with excellent production. The album as a whole is amazing and creative. When is DJ Quik putting out an Album?
