Amazon.com Throughout the 1990s, Snoop Dogg proved that the phrase "old rappers" doesn't have to be an oxymoron, and that it's possible to age gracefully within the genre. But as he made the transition from lethargic gangsta crony to mature thug uncle, Snoop the icon soon outstripped Snoop the rapper and his output became spotty, leaving questions of whether his talented tongue was lost to time. On Tha Last Meal, Snoop proves that all the glitter isn't gone from his golden throat. He's so secure that he even dips into crooning on the so fresh and so clean "Leave Me Alone." But Tha Last Meal largely achieves its smoothness through worn-leather raps delivered with pimp savoir-faire and production--supplied by Dr. Dre, Timbaland, Meech Wells, and others--that swaps the charisma-free bounce of Snoop's last two albums for an uptempo, newly enthused sound. The glee is echoed in Snoop's rhymes. "I'm in a three-piece suit looking too cute," Snoop gloats on "Stacey Adams." "Go Away" serves as the Dogg's new position statement, on which he belligerently proclaims "I'm too young to retire, I'm having fun with it / See, when you learn what to do with it, I'll be done with it." Indeed, it'll take a nation of haters to keep Snoop down, something that Snoop nods to on "True Lies," which features the boldest player of all, President Bill Clinton. With even the prez doing dirt, it's clear the game still isn't to be told. --Jon Caramanica Similar CDs

CD ReviewsBest Since Doggystyle! BigSlimDogg | Canada | 12/22/2000 (5 out of 5 stars) "Well for all those wondering which Snoop album to get between 'Tha Last Meal' and 'Dead Man Walkin', the answer is easy: Tha Last Meal. Snoop shows us on this album that he still has some of the magic he had 7 years back. My only real complaint about this album is that the following people weren't on it: Xzibit, Daz, Kurpt, Warren G, etc... If those guys we're on the album, it might have been as good as Doggystyle! My Favorite songs on tha album are: Hennessey & Buddah, Snoop Dogg, True Lies, Go Away, Set it Off, Lay Low, Issues, Brake Fluid, Ready 2 Ryde, and Y'all Gone Miss Me. To keep this review as short as possible i'll put it this way. This album is a little different then Doggystyle and his past albums, it has less party tracks and its more serious... If your a Snoop fan, you need to check out the album. Now for all those wondering if this is Snoop's BEST album, now that is totally up to you! Doggystyle is less-serious, and more about partying. Tha Last Meal is quite a bit more serious. Right now, i think they are pretty much equal cuz i feel BOTH of the styles... just buy the damn thing.BTW, Snoop fans: you might think the album is wack for the first 2-3 listens(due to the fact that its different then his albums before) but after that you listen to it a couple times you realize its a really tight album.. its the type of album that you appreciate more and more after every listen!" Some great material mixed with some weak one! Philip Y. | Israel | 03/09/2001 (3 out of 5 stars) "The truth is that after all the hype surrounding this album I was expecting much much more! Instead of that we got an album just a bit better than "No Limit Top Dogg", nothing close to "Doggy Style". The porblem is again that it's just too long and outta 19 tracks only about 10 are really worth listening to. The other ones to me aren't good enough and that's it. Snoop's flow is getting better but it isn't even close to his first years. He's just lost the hunger and the agressiveness that once made him one of the best rappers in the game once. Still, he proves on this album that he still has got the talent and the creativity. He also gets a lot of help from other rappers : Bad Azz, MC Ren, Ice Cube, Suga Free, Eve, Rage, Soopafly, Master P, Tray Dee, Goldie Loc are some of the names and many time they outsine Snoop himself. The album's great songs have also got very tight production. The best beats are the ones by Meech Wells and Jelly Roll. The best song of the album "Lay Low" has got an amazing beat by the one and only Dr. Dre. I really like the album, at lest the 10 tracks I listen to. The other ones, I won't listen to. A thing that's bothering me is that Kokane is featured on too many songs and on most of them his singing is annoying and ruins the song itself." One of snoop's very worst albums Cory G. | Vic, Australia | 06/12/2003 (2 out of 5 stars) "Ok let's start with the good. This album has some really great and different beats(mostly), and there was obviously alot of work put into the production. There was some very good songs on this album that combined both ingenious beats and great flowing raps, such as Go away and Snoop dogg(what's my name pt.2). There is only about 2-3 good songs on the album.Ok, now the bad. I was really expecting a good album from snoop. I bought this album from its reputation. I was told it was one of snoop's best by my friends so I bought it. I was familiar with snoops old albums, a few of which I own so I thought I'd be safe spending my money on this. But no. I was wrong. Everyone loves the song Lay low but mostly, people listen to it for the beat. It's almost exactly the same as Ambitionz az a ridah by 2pac, so it came out as repetitive to me as I've had that CD for years.Alot of the rapping came from guest rappers. I was really looking forward to hearing snoop rap some new songs. There was a few but not enough to save the album.Snoop knew he is done as a rapper of pure skills and originality. He releases his albums knowing that from his reputation and all the wannabe ganstas that listen to him to be cool will buy it and all he needs is 1 or 2 good songs to carry his album platinum.If your a snoop fan, don't bother with it. It's a waste of time and money.Forget it."
