Snoop Doggy Dogg's most intimate songs to date
Released two years ago pretty successful and bestselling album
Tha Blue Carpet Treatment,
Snoop Doggy Dogg has begun going back to the basics, to the start of his creative way related to the gangsta culture variating with his today's life. Maybe this turning has made the rapper review a lot in both his past and present, and these reflections have came up into the idea of a new record on which the rap legend could be present alone without guest stars present on all the previous albums, just rapping his story. It is
Ego Trippin that was supposed to become such a record and its name reflects the main idea. Yet at the last second
Snoop Dogg has decided to leave back the traditions untouched so there are some mutual work on the album even though not as numerous as it could be. Nevertheless
Ego Trippin contains songs that have deserved to be the rapper's most intimate to date, and also his classical hip hop compositions devoted to the eternal themes of drugs, cars, sex and other forms of pure entertainment.
Ego Trippin is about Snoop Doggy Dogg's history, today and future
On his introductory word
A Word Witchya! (Intro) we are offered to hear a new album, it is a traditional greeting of the listeners. A great composition
Press Play with a faultless bass line sounds best when listened with powerful speakers and maximum volume, and song
SD Is Out, the first appearance of
Charlie Wilson on the album, is interesting for its electronic arrangement. Naturally there are tracks from the series "talking good of oneself" on the record, and
Gangsta Like Me is a bright example for here
Snoop Doggy Dogg gives advice to freshmen sharing his experience. A calm composition
Neva Have 2 Worry from those reflective species tells of the rapper's life struggles and single
Sexual Eruption is certainly devoted to women, one of the artist's favorite topics. Having a lot of in common with the predecessor of
Ego Trippin track
Life Of Da Party featuring
Too Short and Mistah F.A.B. continues the never-ending party, whereas
Waste Of Time performed
Raphael Saadiq is a great example of R&B as
Snoop Dogg sees it. Rapper describes his way of having fun in detail on
Deez Hollywood Nights, and the frankest track is
Staxxx In My Jeans which not just dwells on the theme of sex but explores it thoroughly. To have some rest song
Been Around Tha World suits perfectly for here the rapper once again talks of himself, and then comes a surprise, a country song
My Medicine about heroine performed with the accompaniment of Whitey Ford. The album's last part consists of a song for the girls
Those Gurlz in the rapper's hard style, and a song for the guys
One Chance (Make It Good) about gangs, then romantic, filled with angry sufferings,
Why Did You Leave Me, and finally comes the climax
Can't Say Goodbye again with
Charlie Wilson which, as the mc confirmed himself makes him want to cry for it is about his past, his present and himself.
Signs of introspection and honesty
There are no changes on the West Side would be a short way to characterize the Californian rapper's new work. If somebody thinks that
Snoop Doggy Dogg can ever loose his will to compose music one can have some rest for this artist will never be tired, largely because his creative work is his entertainment, it is connected with entertainment and will always remain like this. Yet even though
Ego Trippin does not widen the borders of the rapper's typical works, there are signs of introspection and honesty that
Snoop Doggy Dogg hardly ever had before. This is however by no means a reason to think that he has become more serious. On the contrary his texts about women are growing bolder and franker, the songs about drugs are becoming less ambiguous and the street life is described with more detail each time. Even if
Ego Trippin cannot outshine the sensational debut it will still occupy a worthy position among the best creations of
Snoop Doggy Dogg whose party is still going on.
