Snoop Dogg- Tha Last Meal




Snoop Dogg
Tha Last Meal (2000)
No Limit Records / Priority
G-Funk

Damn, this is sick! People need to stop comparing everything Snoop drops to Doggystyle. Of course it isn't going to be as good, that's like comparing everything Nas does to Illmatic, or everything Wu does to 36 chambers. You need to recognize that their first album is the best they will ever release, and then treat all subsequent albums as a separate entity. If you compare everything to the greats, you won't enjoy it as much.

This is a fun album, and a great example of when features work perfectly. Some people hate features, but they can be great if used correctly. As the Doggfather demonstrates, the feature artist shouldn't overwhelm the main artist. Even with more features than tracks, Snoop still controls the mic on every song. There's never any question of who's album this is, as Snoop's confidence and control of the mic proves it beyond a doubt. There's great beats here too, banging G-funk joints. Snoop dropped some great albums.

7.5/10
Favorite Tracks: Set It Off, Lay Low, and Y'all Gone Miss Me
