Tote Jamaican

Rap fan, you've never listened to reggae in your life and you do not know where to start? Snoop, now Lion, offers you a golden opportunity to make you a culture in less time than it takes to listen to the album. Pure roots (So Long), dancehall at large, bare roots (Lighters Up, smoke the weed, the good good) or boggle (here comes the king, and his fruit Juice riddim heard already 2000 times (feat Mr Vegas )) or even by going to flirt with the limits of Eurodance (remember Put Your Hands Up In The Air? in the genre) to Get Away or the smell Gorillaz (Rebel Way, No Guns Allowed shameless plundering Beirut (Nantes case) and melodica already spotted in precisely Gorillaz). Not to mention the "lover" marshmallow (tired of running feat Akon). In short, you'll understand that everything goes for better or for worse.

The big surprise of the album is Snoop, rather than using his recognizable flow between 1000 and sings rather well even, very comfortable on most tracks, helped, it is true to some legends Yardies (Mr Collie Budz or Vegas) and some faithful friends (Akon among others). Note also the impeccable female voices Angela Hunte, Iza or Rita Ora.

In the end, however, difficult not to regard the album as a merry summer tote all of which, without a doubt, the hip hop fans will be disappointed, Rastas of all stripes believe that is not Buju Banton who wants ... and curious skeptics. I bet that if he decides to stay in that voi (x) e, Snoop will soon lay us a more homogeneous album.

Let us remember that, seriously supported by the unmistakable Major Lazer, Snoop had the nerve to give a serious turn to his career and, just for that, quickly want to hear more.
