Snoop Dogg Returns To Hip Hop
Pitchfork says: ‘Over the decades, we’ve watched Snoop Dogg go through nearly as many costume changes as Madonna. Gangbanger Snoop, No Limit Southern-rap Snoop, pop star Snoop, “Drop It Like It’s Hot†Snoop, “Sensual Seduction†Snoop, “Snoop Lionâ€â€”sometimes those sonic and aesthetic remixes have worked, other times not so much. With “Coolaid,” arguably Snoop’s first real hip-hop album in half a decade, we find his reinvention back into “Rapper Snoop†to be a bit wobbly.’
