Snoop Dogg - review

As law & order valiant Ice - T and are we there yet? Star Ice Cube, Snoop dogg is proof that a generation of the corrupter of morals is the national treasure of the next. The erstwhile "evil bastard" (Daily Star, 1994) is now a warmly ubiquitous pop presence, buried to the neck in sand (video of California Gurls by Katy Perry) or Pare as Admiral insurance advertising (Gorillaz' Welcome to the world of the plastic beach). Approaching 40, Snoop is almost as soft as his namesake comic.

Still thin cadaverously and germination braid of its trade mark, it makes light of her former prominence. "I have yet to make a crime in the United Kingdom", he smirks. "I ain't fucking with your efficient and shit." His subsequent chant of "fuck the police!" feels elections because Snoop has never been particularly defiant. Or a hard gangsta, a cultural striver as Jay - Z or a psychological as Eminem car crash, it is a pleasure-seeker, pure and simple: little more complex that the figure he presents Gin and juice, pleased with a drink and a smoke and "my mind on my money and my money on my account." Its laidback, almost feminine delivery hinders his lyrical machismo. Even a song also deeply questionable as ain't no Fun (if the Homies can't have none) is the number of women in the audience cheerfully sing.

Essential superficiality of the Snoop means its recorded output has traced a classic trajectory of descent from Doggystyle in 1993, but it makes him a reliable showman. Hip hop shows are notorious for sound songs, truncated muddy and purely fictious blurry, but Snoop has raised his game. First such success that cover deep are dynamic and fat beautiful showcases for his lazy stream, lizardy and his signature, a "yeeyuh" sleepy exclamation, elongated. And it does not just mine its own past but hip hop in General, with of tributes to Tupac, Biggie and his late friend Nate Dogg and a powerful breath of evergreen Jump autour House of bread.

It is as much, because the most recent material is rotten. Seduction sensual lewd self-parodically could be a flight of the Conchords collaboration, and sweat is just as catastrophic as can be expected to be a song written for night deer of Prince William and remixed by David Guetta. Perhaps this is considered his first crime in the United Kingdom. He quickly restores goodwill by ending the old favorites Drop It Like It Hot and what is my name and a gushing profession of his love for the "london, England. East London love back? Yeeyuh.
