Snoop dogg rhythm and gangsta zip9/17/2023 R&G is Snoop's first album for Star Trak, the label run by fallen-off hip-hop hitmakers the Neptunes, a duo who all but ruled international radio with dazzling sci-fi stomp-clap new wave beats, but who've been starving for hits ever since they switched up their style to overcooked Vegas schmaltz- all bloopy bass and shuffling drums and swooshing keyboards and unbelievably obnoxious falsetto crooning. But somehow, it's hard to take Snoop's appreciation of the opposite sex seriously when the second track on the album, "Can You Control Ya Hoe", advocates violence against women more brutally than anything he's done since "Bitches Ain't Shit". "Flip the channel to Lifetime/ You stay on my mind even when I write rhymes," he growls on "Promise I". "Everything is beautiful/ Right down to ya cuticles," he coos on "Perfect". "I want to get you alone so I can learn you a little better," he purrs on "Stay". R&G (Rhythm & Gangsta): The Masterpiece is absolutely crammed with them- a nearly endless amount (18 songs, 78 minutes). Unfortunately, he's tackled this dilemma by recording lots of terrible seductive soul tracks. Finally, with R&G : The Masterpiece, Snoop seems to have realized he's not getting younger.
