Amazon.co.uk Review
Considering that most Golden Era rap talents birthed by Dr. Dre have ridden off into the sunset--or are simply much less active and relevant in 2004--it's somewhat surprising that Snoop keeps churning out the hits like it was 1993. Make no mistake, Snoop's raps are still very much gangsta, as the title of the disc implies and as "Bang Out" clearly outlines. They're just a bit more adult-contemporary gangsta now. Despite the heavy pro-pimp overtones, the Doggfather's smoothed-out timbre and flow mask the harshness of his regressive views. The exceptional production throughout is highlighted by the Neptunes' contributions, from the catchy, minimalist "Drop It Like It's Hot" all the way to the '80s retro-funk jam "Let's Get Blown." Steady vocal contributions from funk stalwart Charlie Wilson (Gap Band) and 50 Cent, and nasty beats supplied by everyone from the Alchemist to Hi-Tek put this one over the top. I--Dalton Higgins/I

Well, I have to disagree with Ali-UK in one point, if your REALY into your rap, I dont think you will appreciate it. You could aruge tht Snoop has been away from Cali too long and needs to hitch up with Dre (which so many peeps point out). The album is produced by Neptunes, who are mainly RnB based. They may have made tunes for Jay-Z . N.O.R.E and other rap artists but most of the songs they produced are Rap/RnB (with vocal a chourus of some sort). I don't think you can compare this to 'Doggystyle' because they are on two ends of the continuim. Doggystyle is 'Gangsta Rap' and RG is Rap/RnB. brThe album is also funk, Charlie Wilson features in a load of the tracks - his voice always reminds me 'Snoops Upside Your Head' gives it a type of mellow rap feel with some 70s/80s grooves - 'earth, wind, and fire' comes to mind. Anyways i'm babbling! It is a good album, snoop brings his smooth semi-old style lyrics to Rap/RnB and they mix well, on a whole... this is a excellent choice. Tracks to look out for;brSigns - featuring Charlie Wilson Justin Timberlake (probs my fav track)brShow You How A Gangsta Do - featuring Charlie WilsonbrPerfect (Beautiful Part ii) - featuring Charlie Wilsonpthere are probably some more but i can't think at the moment!


5 out of 5 stars Best Snoop album since Doggystyle   November 17, 2004

Since the classic Doggystyle album, every solo album snoop has realeased has been, average or below average therefore i lost abit of interest in Snoop as i thought his days were gone. After buying this album all i can say is that his days are far from gone! the beats are amazin and really flows, thanx to the Neptunes who produced most of the tracks. The lyrics is just what u would expect from the Dogg, the album is full of rhythm of gangsta music so the album REALLY lives up the titls Rhythm and Gangsta, buy this record if your into rap at all or even any music fan would enjoy this cd!!!!

On the one hand it is possible to find Snoop's ridiculous self-righteosness and general mannerisms very embarrassing and cringeworthy. However, if one listens more acutely, one becomes a ware that Snoop is actually a VERY intelligent man. In my opinion he does not expect people to take his sexist, 'cool dude' gangster stuff in anyway seriously, and he is merely a master of tongue in cheek. It is such a shame that people do not get the really subtle irony of Snoop's work.brOver and above this, This is a really great record. Lyrics aside, there are some really anthemic and uplifting tracks here, giving the listener the impression that sure life is no bowl of cherries, but we have to make the most of what we have and laugh a bit, as Snoop does. brMoreoever, Snoop is the only one of the batch early 1990's rap artists (Ice T , Ice Cube, Eazy E)who has maintained popularity. This is possibly as his music is still so fresh and relevant, and much more funny and intelligent. I can almost guarantee in ten years time a similar review will be written about an album just released by Snoop. A timeless artist and a masterpiece of an album that shows this maestro of irony and tongue in cheek in his prime.

by far snoops most impressive album. it's the first time i've not been tempted to skip to specific tracks. although "the bidness" is without doubt the class song of the album. brmany artists try to pad out their albums with mediocre tunes but snoop provides a "no fillas" album. the 1st of his career. brsnoop continues to provide smooth, rhythmic gangsta beats that only a few have aped but none bettered. if you're lookin' at other albums, drop it like it's hot!
