melting pot of jazz, funk, soul and blistering hip-hop with verbal contradictions and humour aplenty.Six albums in the Doggfather is at the height of his game, with the Neptunes, Jelly Roll and "Fredwreck" Nassar providing the production finesse to keep the business man, Hollywood actor and 90s rap icon sounding as fresh as ever. The Neptunes-produced "From tha Chuuuch 2 da Palace" is a fresh, feisty tech-fuelled stomp with the Doggster overdosing on bravado while pleading for gin and juice despite his recent denouncement of all things intoxicating. "Beautiful" meanwhile finds Dogg alongside Pharrell Williams soulfully declaring his love for his lady, whereas on "Lollipop" he just can't resist a bit of gratuitous oral adultery amid a weaving flute and jazz-funk beat.The gangster-pimp-meets-Snoopy-Collins spirit is still evident throughout the grinding beats, slick production and audacious digs; "Suge Knight's a bitch and that's on my life," he snarls on "Pimp Slapp'd". Despite Snoop's many distractions, the claim that he's "First place in the race and don't wanna lose it" may just mean he's not giving up the day job just yet. --Chris Barrett

Advantages: Contains Some Of His Best Disadvantages: Feels Incomplete
If you are someone who begins to listen to an album by playing its singles first or by listening straight through then this album is instantly accessible. The first 9 tracks are of brilliant standard, containing Beautiful and Paper'd Up and From Tha Chuuch To Tha Palace. However, although the album seems to be fairly large reaching in at 20 tracks altogether with only 2 or 3 skits, the quality of the songs drops to that of some of the worst of his ... ...amusing actually.
2. Da Bo$$ Would Like To See You
Very original musical intro to the album that continues the scene set in track 1. A good tune that has been very well produced. Nice chorus aswell.
3. Stoplight
Initially a very good track with some WBallz interpolations that fit in well. Good subject topic (trafiic!). Soon irritates unfortunately. A good break in to the album, probably the first one people like along with Beautiful.

Advantages: Two tracks are awesome Disadvantages: Possibly his weakest album
Firstly, I want to start off by saying that I am a huge Snoop Dogg fan, even been to see him live within the last month, but frankly this album is a major let down.
Lets start with the positives though. This album is good in that it features 2 of Snoop Dogg's recent wave of comeback tunes. From Da Chuuurch To Da Palace and the massive summer smash Beautiful; both produced by the Neptunes are basically what re-launched Snoop's career in the last ... ...in your face lyrics are all perfect. However, don't let this lure you into a false sense of security !! The rest of the album is weak to say the least. There are simply no tracks that stand out from the rest, Snoop is trying to be quirky but it simply doesn't work. He doesn't sound comfortable, as if he knows the composition just doesn't sit right. Its almost as if the Neptunes have provided beats and Snoop doesn't know what to do with them. Take ...

mediocre Review ofPaid Tha Cost To Be Tha Boss [PA] - Snoop Doggby
djquik123
Advantages: beutiful, papr'd up Disadvantages: just about all the rest
ever since snoops doggystyle first hit the shelves ive been a massive fan, but the sad truth is like many other rappers, his first release was his best. dont get me wrong there is some pretty good tunes on this like the huge hit "beutiful" featuring pharrel williams, but theyre 2 far and few between these days with snoop.my advice would be to go for his first album doggystyle which is still, easily his best.
on a whole though its not too bad an ...
