Hip-Hop Albums of the Year

Snoop Dogg — Ego Trippin'


The ninth studio album is a desperate attempt to find that first place in Top Pop that has been missing for ten years and may never come again. The rhythms sound bad for 78 minutes, and are chosen by Neptunes, Teddy Riley, DJ Quik, Nottz, Rick Rock and Scoop DeVille, among others. Several guests attended, including Kurupt, Too Short, Saadiq, Charlie Wilson, Pharrell, Willie Nelson, Whitey Ford, Jamie Foxx, none impress. The most interesting is the battle rapper Mistah F.A.B., however, he simply performs a hook. Texts and beats are generic and poor, he has already done and said all this better and much before, there's nothing worth dealing with. That said, it sells very well, recording its best result since 1999, in fact, it's third on the Billboard 200 and second among rap records: supported by Geffen, the LP produces five singles, an event unprecedented in the veteran rapper's discography, this isn't enough to avoid the heavy setback that sales suffer after a couple of weeks. Trash pop rap album with a length of time that goes against all logic, absolutely not recommended. 4/10.
