Hip-Hop Albums of the Year

Snoop Dogg — BIble of Love


Gospel debut album by Snoop Dogg, five years after his Rastafari debut album as Snoop Lion. It's the soloist studio album number sixteen for the secular rapper. Released by the gospel section of RCA, distributed by Sony, the tape reaches first place in the gospel chart and stays there for seven non-consecutive weeks, struggling to enter the Billboard 200. Panned by professional critics, greeted with excitement by Christians insiders. The project is a 134-minute double LP divided into 32 tracks performed by 30 artists. The production is credited to Snoop Dogg and Lonny Bereal Jr. "Bible of Love" comes closest to being a rnb album rather than a gospel album, and also features some scattered and random excerpts in rap and trap. Around the middle of listening, you have the impression of always being on the same track, only the names of the singers change. It's terribly safe, generic, boring. Snoop is present nine times out of thirty-two songs, just over a quarter of the time, leaving a lot of space for guests in a sort of mediocre Spotify playlist that has no raison d'être. 2/10.
