I'm not buying it "sight unseen" this time.
This really is an important album for Snoop, because an artist -- particularly a rapper -- can't have two lackluster albums in a row and survive the game. And I'm talking about from the perspective of his core fanbase. Ego Trippin was a disaster and didn't go platinum for the first time in Snoop's career, I believe. If Malice is similarly underwhelming, his career as a legitimate top-shelf rapper will be in serious jeopardy. The reason is because your fanbase will contract, and those outside the base are fickle and can't be relied upon as consumers of one's product. This is to say, long-time Snoop fans like myself, if he alienates us again, he could lose us for good. And what's an artist without a core fanbase? One whose career peters out, that's who. So from a business perspective, he really has to ensure he satisfies his fans who are on the fence about purchasing further Snoop albums. His reputation is on the line.As for the artistic quality, I'm expecting an electronic, inorganic sound. Lots of processed stuff. I could be wrong, of course -- I'm just predicting. The real question for me is, with Snoop now on his 10th album and achieved all the success he could have ever hoped for, does he have anything left to say? We'll find out. I want to give him my $10, but he has to earn it. I'm not buying it "sight unseen" this time as I did with Ego Trippin, regretfully.I slightly hesitatingly think he'll come through in the clutch when all is said and done.
The recent leak and featuring of Snoop (with Nipsey ,g malone Belly...) makes me hope a good album and at the same time the featuring on the tracklist ,except the song with problem and nipsey ,scares me.So what can we excpect .An ego trippin(i liked it) type album or a Blue carpet treatment type album?
I expect the worst solo album from Snoop D-O-Double G with some bullshit guest apperances like Soulja Boy and wack beats like "Gangsta Luv" - nothing more..
It will prolly be like every other Snoop record. It will have songs that you love, and song that you hate and wonder why they are on the album....Altho, there is supposed to be only 12 tracks on the album which is something new for a Snoop cd.
