Snoop Outshines Everyone

By steve  Sep 25, 2006

Pros: Snoop Dogg can rap, still his voice in its prime, adds southern style for a nice touch

Cons: No Limit Soldiers everywhere, some god awful songs, lyrics very weak

I think this album might have been a lot better if snoop ditched the gangsta hardcore style like he did later on, because wit...h No Limit its totally unbelieveable and laughable sometimes. I mean can you see him patrolling the streets with Silkk the Shocker? As for the music, the beats are pretty decent and there are some classic songs on here including Still a G Thang, Hoes Money and Clout, and for the hype it generated Woof. Other songs that are good are Snoop World, Slow Down, Dont Let Go, Whatcha gon do, DP Gangsta, Doggs gonna getcha, Bout it and Rowdy. Most of the other songs suck pretty bad although a few have highlights. The main issue on here is the presence of No Limit soldiers who bring every song down. Silkk Tha Shocker cant rap and just talks as fast as he can to any tempo he decides to the detriment of the beat and mysitkal just screams out unintelligiable lyrics with his buddy fiend. Snoop really makes them look bad on here and saves most of the songs. I always feel like I am ready to skip the song and then snoop comes on at the end and saves it. Not a classic by any means but still some good music on here. Just hard to balance the good and bad so i give it an even Read more Less
