Snoop Dogg "Malice N Wonderland"


Snoop Dogg brings to us his 10th studio album "Malice N Wonderland". Snoop gives us a new twist to and oldie in "I Wanna Rock" which features a sample from popular groove " It Takes Two" (Rob Base & DJ EZ Rock)
"1800" Ft Lil Jon fails as a club banger, it seems as if Lil Jon's time has expired.
A random highlight on the album is "Different Languages" ft Jazmine Sullivan, she always adds somethin' groovy to a track as she ever so effortlessly sings over the track  " Im from the east coast but im ballin ,so hard a n**** got me crip walkin im from the suburbs but its that good make a good girl wanna get to the hood" in this exclamation of how the love is so good it has her speaking in different languages.

 "Gangsta Luv" Ft The Dream is rather annoying,while "Special" Ft Brandy , Pharrell is probably the best track/collaboration on the project. Typical Snoop on the track, real laid back and smooth. Brandy's vocals don't sound bad and surprsingly neither does Pharell's.

"Secrets" Made me wanna throw up the "West Side" sign and do my old head bop with a lil' cup of some spirits in one hand.

I can appreciate that the album wasn't overloaded with tracks. Production was sub-par at best, even though "Upside Down" knocks. Lyrics/concepts were typical Snoop. Not Impressed by any means. But it wasn't a complete disappointment. 

Stand Out Tracks: "Different Languages", " Special" & "I Wanna Rock"
On The Groove Scale....it registers a 6

  1. I've heard some singles, and I was impressed. Snoop is one of the most timeless individuals in all of music. No matter how the trends change, he remains the same individual and you have to love and respect that.
