Malice n Wonderland 2009 Album

Snoop Dogg

An improvement on 'Ego Trippin’' largely because Snoop doesn't try to experiment too much and actually creates a listenable hip hop album. Track for track I'd say it's pretty much half hip hop, half pop-rap, and you can tell which are which by looking at the featuring artists on the tracklist. While they aren't brilliant, I enjoy most of the harder hip hop tracks and it would be nice for Snoop to do a whole album without resorting to soft tracks. I'm not a hater of pop rap myself, but I just think Snoop sounds better on harder tracks like 'I Wanna Rock' as opposed to 'Gangsta Luv'. On most past albums from Snoop he has filled the CD to its maximum duration which has been an issue creating some filler. However, this album is only 53 minutes and I think his shortest to date. Overall I'm giving it a pass but unfortunately, while I enjoy some tracks, there is nothing too memorable or original throughout. Best Tracks: I Wanna Rock, Pronto, That’s tha Homie, Secrets.
