Well, the wait is over, and needless to say, so far so good. Many hip-hop heads were worried that the Southern playalistic style Master P is known for might be too much for Snoop's notoriously laid back style. However, the music is tight and the lyrics are tighter. The success is primarily based on the resurgence of Snoop's vocal prowess and the crisper flow of the music, which was definitely missing on his last album. While fans are still waiting for an album from Snoop that doesn't have 30 cameos from other artists, Master P and Snoop may have just formed a relationship that rivals the one at Death Row several years ago.
Some albums make good background music.
Nick Copeland's English accent isn't ear candy, and at times borders on cacophonous. If you're looking for befitting background music, you'd be smart to stick with Beethoven's Fifth. Your IQ will thank you for it. However, every once in a while, someone makes an impression based solely on their own talent. The newest talent on the scene just may be Jesse Powell.
