Musical boom - it's a dog biscuit

Every year brings us Snoop Dogg with a new album, "Doggumentary" is now already the eleventh - various compilations not included. Over the past decade unfortunately came barely a really convincing work from almost 40 years of dog from Long Beach, but because the fan base is very large still, each panel will continue eagerly awaited. Proud 21 tracks has "Doggumentary" in the luggage, to all 23 guest appearances. The regulators have sat at some famous names, including Scoop DeVille, Battlecat, Fredwreck, Jake One, or else the currently so trendy David Guetta. How Snoop kicks with all the support, we check now.

The opener "Toyz N Da Hood" comes up with none other than funk legend Bootsy Collins on us - but is the Doggfather not hear anything, so we can rather speak of a detailed intro here. Right off we go with "The Way Life Used To Be", which was produced by Snoop's long-time companions Battlecat. An innovative wonder this song is certainly not, it provides a lot of power and some West Coast Gangsta Flavor what to Snoop Dogg course fits very well. Perfect for the upcoming summer is "Wonder What It Do". Cheerful, Fresh and really damn funky grooves of Smash and therefore offers with Uncle Chucc top of that the optimum vocal feature. This is celebrated with "Peer Pressure" (feat. Traci Nelson) in a similar manner further later. Overall, a sound that is the mature acting Snoop really good and he can bring back often in the future. In "My Fukn House" that looks a bit different. This title is retained in aggressive Dirty South Style, rumbles with thick synths and even thicker bass from the Speaker. Snoop and guests Young Jeezy and E-40 show up hungry at the Mic - but whether this style suits the older audience, may be doubted.

Also at the club has the old dog with thought and "Platinum" (feat. R. Kelly), "Boom" (feat. T-Pain) and "Wet", which was renamed in the censored version in single "Sweat" , equal delivered several party tracks. So unfortunately really good is not one of them, Snoop tried rather jump on a train that has already departed. Especially that produced by David Guetta "Wet" is a true Gedultsprobe - you can always this same electro sound in Hip Hop no longer just listen! Fortunately, "Doggumentary" but even so some ray of hope. "I Do not Need No Bitch" (feat. Devin The Dude & Kobe Honeycutt), "We Rest N Cali" (feat. Goldie Loc & Bootsy Collins) or "El Lay" (feat. Marty James) are finally again chilliger West Coast Rap as we want to hear it for years, thanks to Snoop Doggs experimentation but rarely could enjoy also. The fact that this has not gone completely flutes, we get with "Sumthin Like This Night" (feat. Gorillaz), that sounds like an electronic Raggamuffin, or with "Superman" (feat. Willie Nelson), Snoop's second trip to the country to "My Medicine" to be felt in 2008. Whether we like everyone can decide only on its own well. The finale of "Doggumentary" falls far not as spectacular, with "Eyez Closed" (feat. John Legend & Kanye West) offers a standard mainstream number, a couple on hard tracks and trimmed the final, Soul flavored " Cold Game "with Latoiya Williams which, although not uproot trees, but it's quite nice to listen to.

It takes quite a while until you have heard through the 21 tracks on the album. In between, almost everything is so horrible of up awesome on successful West Coast rap and strange experiments, to the usual cut lengths. This may sound very adventurous and grow, is in the end but a thoroughly decent result, in that it is worthwhile to listen to as snoop into sympathizer.
