Chesstown King's Reviews and Thoughts

This was one of my favorite albums back in my teenage years. It was called “the hottest album since Doggystyle” which wasn’t really true, but it is a great album. There are a lot of songs, most are good but there’s some undeniable filler here like Promise I, Fresh Pair Of Panties On…etc. I mean they aren’t horrible songs but he should have just left songs like that off. Bang Out is a great song, as is the popular Drop it Like It’s Hot. There’s a lot of guests too: 50 Cent, Pharrell Williams, Trina, Nelly, and even Justin Timberlake. Overall if you’re a Snoop fan you should like this album although it doesn’t really have a west coast feel to it. Verdict: 9/10

The Snoop album is good despite leading with a god awful song Legend. There’s some really decent lyrics from Snoop here. He sounds rejuvenated, and poised unlike some of his other albums. The album’s production is better at about a 9/10 believe it or not. The album has too many songs however, being at 77 minutes in length. Despite this I am proud of his effort as he’s out done the BUSH album. Verdict: 9/10

Snoop Lion is no more! The return of one of rap’s legendary rappers, SNOOP DOGG. But wait he’s barely rapping here. Hmm. I know what you’re thinking, but its actually a solid album. The beats are hot but some sound a bit too similar. The album was produced by Pharrell Williams who leaves his mark. Stevie Wonder, Charlie Wilson, T.I., Gwen Stefani, also join the party. But wait, he’s got 2 different rappers, Rick Ross and Kendrick Lamar on the final track. This is a smooth album. The Verdict: The new style works well 8.75/10
