Summary
SNOOP DOGG Ego Trippin (Geffen) ****
Nine albums in, once controversial rapper Snoop Dogg has hardly grown up here he promises us a Sexual Eruption and his familiar cry of Bee-yatch! still dominates but he has come up with a mature, mellow sound, mainly thanks to veteran R&B producer Teddy Riley. Rileys fondness for robotic vocoder voices dominates on tracks such as SD Is Out. Theres also slinky disco on cool, horn-laden soul on Press Play and Johnny Cash-style guitar on My Medicine, though the Neptunes sneak the real highlight with their production job on the skeletal rhythms and organ of Sets Up. At 22 tracks, this collection is half an hour too long but Snoops bleary-eyed drawl remains one of the most enjoyable voices in hip hop.See the full content of this document
