Tha Last Meal

by

Snoop Dogg

Edit

Well for all those wondering which Snoop album to get between 'Tha Last Meal' and 'Dead Man Walkin', the answer is easy: Tha Last Meal. Snoop shows us on this album that he still has some of the magic he had 7 years back. My only real complaint about this album is that the following people weren't on it: Xzibit, Daz, Kurpt, Warren G, etc... If those guys we're on the album, it might have been as good as Doggystyle! My Favorite songs on tha album are: Hennessey & Buddah, Snoop Dogg, True Lies, Go Away, Set it Off, Lay Low, Issues, Brake Fluid, Ready 2 Ryde, and Y'all Gone Miss Me. To keep this review as short as possible i'll put it this way. This album is a little different then Doggystyle and his past albums, it has less party tracks and its more serious... If your a Snoop fan, you need to check out the album. Now for all those wondering if this is Snoop's BEST album, now that is totally up to you! Doggystyle is less-serious, and more about partying. Tha Last Meal is quite a bit more serious. Right now, i think they are pretty much equal cuz i feel BOTH of the styles... just buy the damn thing.

BTW, Snoop fans: you might think the album is wack for the first 2-3 listens(due to the fact that its different then his albums before) but after that you listen to it a couple times you realize its a really tight album.. its the type of album that you appreciate more and more after every listen!

The truth is that after all the hype surrounding this album I was expecting much much more! Instead of that we got an album just a bit better than "No Limit Top Dogg", nothing close to "Doggy Style". The porblem is again that it's just too long and outta 19 tracks only about 10 are really worth listening to. The other ones to me aren't good enough and that's it. Snoop's flow is getting better but it isn't even close to his first years. He's just lost the hunger and the agressiveness that once made him one of the best rappers in the game once. Still, he proves on this album that he still has got the talent and the creativity. He also gets a lot of help from other rappers : Bad Azz, MC Ren, Ice Cube, Suga Free, Eve, Rage, Soopafly, Master P, Tray Dee, Goldie Loc are some of the names and many time they outsine Snoop himself. The album's great songs have also got very tight production. The best beats are the ones by Meech Wells and Jelly Roll. The best song of the album "Lay Low" has got an amazing beat by the one and only Dr. Dre. I really like the album, at lest the 10 tracks I listen to. The other ones, I won't listen to. A thing that's bothering me is that Kokane is featured on too many songs and on most of them his singing is annoying and ruins the song itself.
