Snoop Dogg, previously known as Snoop Doggy Dogg, is back with his last effort under the No Limit label. With his contract almost up you'd think he would just roll out an average album. Well you'd be wrong! Snoop has still got his tight laid-back flow that rocketed him to the top of the charts with Doggystyle and the production is still as good as ever.
The Intro starts off the album in a classic Snoop Dogg Style as seen in his Doggystyle album.
The first track is "Hennesey N Buddah" referring to Snoop's two favourite things, expensive brandy and marajuana. Featuring Kokane, this song will have everyone up dancing. Snoop produces some great lyrics over a cool tune. 9/10
Second up is Snoop's first release from the album, the self-titled "Snoop Dogg (What's My Name Pt 2)". Whats my name was a classic track from his first album "Doggystyle" (check out my Doggystyle op) and this is its follow up. They aren't very similar but this is still a good track. Very catchy hook with a very
laid back rhyme from Snoop. 9/10
The next track starts of with Snoop asking Bill Clinton a question, "Did you f*** that b**** or what?" and B.C replying with his famous quote " i had inappropriate contact.....etc". Very funny but the song "True Lies" lacks something. A laid-back chillout track asking "Whats the use of the truth if you can't tell a lie somtimes?", ok, brilliant song! 6/10
The next track is "Wrong Idea". Snoop produces another great track helped by a few guests. Good beat and a catchy hook sung by Kokane. 8/10
Kokane appears again in "Go Away", another good track. The stomping beat will have your head nodding as Snoop pulls off a great track. 9/10
MC Ren, The Lady of Rage, Nate Dogg and Ice Cube all appear alongside Snoop in "Set It Off". Timbalands production could have made most of the oppurtunity to make a classic track from this reunion. It can't be bad with all these stars and Nate Dogg forces you to sing along. Not a classic but still good. 9/10
Kokane back, again, for "Stacey Adams". A very laid back track with an unusual hook. Snoop doesn't falter as usual, but a bit too laid back. 6/10
The next single off the album is "Lay Low". Like "Next Episode" its a short classic, just reaching 3 minutes. Thumping beat (produced by Dre), appearances from Tha Eastsidaz and a great hook sung by none other than Nate Dogg. 10/10
The next track is "Bring It On". Kokane appears with his unusual style of singing as Snoop warns no-one to interfere in his business. Catchy track. 9/10
A skit called "Game Court" is next featuring only Mac Minista (who?). A 70's beat in the back ground (I think) as heard on the playstation game Driver. Someone takes Snoop to court for being a rich pimp etc. Use the fast forward button.
Snoop returns with a great track "Issues". Over a cool beat, Snoop lets some steam off his chest, dissing all the playa-haters and hangers-on in his life. 9/10
"Brake Fluid (B**** pump yo brakes)" is a stomping track with a thumping beat and cool hook. Kokane appears again. 9/10
"Ready To Ryde" features Eve of Ruff Ryders fame. Fast beat and some good rhyming. Snoop can't sing though. 8/10
"Losin' Control" is apparently a bonus track even though its in the middle of the album. The inlay also says, i quote, "contains an interpolation of a Kid N Play song?". Anyway its a great track. Amazing hook and funky tune will make you put this track on repeat. 10/10
Next is a track called "I Can't Swim". Freaky beat and freakier voice which I can't really explain, i guess you'll have to listen yourself. 7/10
"Leave Me Alone" is a classic laid back Snoop track. G-Funk beats and a cool Snoop rap on a catchy hook. 9/10
"Back Off Me" has a classic No Limit beat designed for the club. Featuring Master P and Mr Magic, you'll be singing along to the hook in the club ( if you happen to be in a club....which plays hiphop..... and you know the words). 9/10
Snoop ends the album with "Y'all Gone Miss Me". As he says goodbye to No Limit Records over some pure G-Funk you cant help but feel sad. Or not as the case may be. 9/10
"The Last Meal" refers to the last time someone "eats from Snoops plate", ie he's now starting his own record company so he'll get all the money after being ripped off before. This is his last album on the No Limit label but i'm sure you'll hear from Snoop again. In the meantime, pick up this album. Not a classic like Doggystyle but definitely a worthy album in any hiphop fans cd collection.
