Remember when Snoop jumped to No Limit just as that ship was sinking? This Star Trak release is, quite sadly, a little like that. And of course, its title is awfully misleading.
Snoop Dogg is old. He's not the same kid who turned up out of nowhere on 'Deep Cover'. He no longer possesses that menacing lean, that cool, dangerous charisma, that effortless way of just rapping through the beat like he was always a part of it and it was always a part of him. These days, he's that haggard-looking, vaguely creepy middle-ager who was in Starsky & Hutch, the 'P.I.M.P.' video, and some pornos. He's always hanging out with that pimp bishop guy. He says 'wizzle wizzle' a lot. He comes out with an album every couple of years, and no one pays any attention because Dr. Dre doesn't have anything to do with it.
Finally, with R&G;: The Masterpiece, Snoop seems to have realized he's not getting younger. Unfortunately, he's tackled this dilemma by recording lots of terrible seductive soul tracks. R&G; (Rhythm & Gangsta): The Masterpiece is absolutely crammed with them-- a nearly endless amount (18 songs, 78 minutes). 'I want to get you alone so I can learn you a little better,' he purrs on 'Stay'. 'Everything is beautiful/ Right down to ya cuticles,' he coos on 'Perfect'. 'Flip the channel to Lifetime/ You stay on my mind even when I write rhymes,' he growls on 'Promise I'. 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'. But girl, you can watch Lifetime!
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. The production duo laced five of this album's songs, but their fingerprints are everywhere else here. R&G; has a unified sound, rare in hip-hop albums, but it's a sound based on tinkly pianos and noodly guitars and windchimes. It sounds something like The Black Eyed Peas if they tried to make a Barry White album, but with more falsetto warbling.
Snoop's voice is still a cool, gravelly drawl, but he doesn't insinuate himself into the beat the way he once did. He pretty much just talks over the beats, seemingly barely aware of their presence. On their respective guest spots, Nelly and Daz easily outshine him. Snoop only comes to life on a handful of rough, club-friendly tracks, most notably 'Step Yo Game Up', a Lil' Jon production that sounds just like circa-2000 Neptunes. It's one of the few moments on the album in which he sounds like a real adult, and not just a sad old man, washed up and worn down.

Background[edit]
In November 2002, Snoop Dogg released his sixth studio album Paid tha Cost to Be da Boss, which spawned two worldwide singles 'From tha Chuuuch to da Palace' and two-time Grammy nominated 'Beautiful', both which were produced by The Neptunes. In June 2004, it was announced that Snoop Dogg had signed to Pharrell Williams and Chad Hugo's 'The Neptunes' record label Star Trak Entertainment to produce and executive produce his then-upcoming seventh studio album.[1]
Singles[edit]
'Drop It Like It's Hot' featuring Pharrell, was released as the album's lead single on September 14, 2004. The song was produced by The Neptunes. The song gained some critical attention for its very sparse production. The song features essentially with just tongue clicks, keyboards and a drum machine beat that compares to very much during the early 2000s rap that was very minimalist. It was nominated at the 2005's Grammy Awards for Best Rap Song and Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group, even though it lost both awards to the songs 'Jesus Walks' by Kanye West, and 'Let's Get It Started' by The Black Eyed Peas, respectively. The song reached at number 10 on the UK Singles Chart, and at number one on the US Billboard's Hot 100, becoming Snoop's first US number one single. The song internationally reached the top-ten in a huge 12 countries.
The album's second single, 'Let's Get Blown' featuring Pharrell, was released on December 14, 2004. The song was produced by The Neptunes. It did not repeat the success of 'Drop It Like It's Hot', but it filled the gap between the aforementioned song and the club hit 'Signs'. Keyshia Cole, who had not garnered a reputation at that time and was therefore left uncredited (her contribution to the R&G song 'Pass It Pass It' also went uncredited). The song samples and contains interpolations from Slave's 'Watching You', which was also interpolated in 'Gin and Juice'. The single became one of Snoop Dogg's biggest hits in the United Kingdom for peaking at number 13, and charted at number 54 on the US Billboard's Hot 100.
The album's third single, 'Signs' featuring Justin Timberlake and Charlie Wilson, was released on April 25, 2005. Download mod ukts bus indonesia terbaru 2016. The song was produced by The Neptunes. In May 2005, the single reached at number two on the UK Singles Chart, and number 46 on the US Billboard's Hot 100. However, it was more popular in Australia staying at number one on the Australian Singles Chart for two weeks. Internationally, the song reached the top-ten in 11 countries.
The album's fourth and final single, 'Ups & Downs' featuring Bee Gees, was released on August 15, 2005. The song was produced by Warryn Campbell. The song interpolates The Bee Gees' 1979 hit 'Love You Inside Out'. The song charted in several countries, but didn't match the success from his previous singles on the album.

R&G (Rhythm & Gangsta): The Masterpiece received generally positive reviews from music critics. At Metacritic they based on an average score of 63 on the review website which indicates 'generally favorable reviews'.[2]Uncut rated the album 3 stars out of 5 and wrote that 'Snoop still manages some earthy funk, assisted by a gargantuan guest list.'[13]
Tom Moon of Rolling Stone wrote that 'Truth-in-advertising alert: Even at its most deliriously debauched, R&G isn't quite the worlds-coming-together rap-soul masterpiece the title promises. That said, the top-shelf producers here provide the Dogg with some of the most radio-ready backing of his career: The serpentine down-tempo single 'Drop It Like It's Hot,' produced by the Neptunes, links Snoop's slyly exuberant delivery to a relentless dance-floor bounce. The same basic formula prevails on 'Ups and Downs,' which reshnizzles the Bee Gees' 'Love You Inside and Out.' Trouble comes when the Dogg hits the streets: What should have been a sparky duet with 50 Cent, 'Oh No,' sours quickly, and a coarse anthem featuring Lil Jon and Trina, 'Step Yo Game Up,' starts out unimaginatively lewd and descends from there. R&G begs for a little more R and some cleverer G – or, if Snoop really wanted to be bold, no G at all'.[9]
Tom Breihan of Pitchfork wrote that 'R&G; is Snoop's first album for Star Trak, the label run by fallen-off hip-hop hit makers 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.

EDITORS’ NOTES
Though hip-hop devotees celebrated Snoop Dogg’s escape from the often creatively stultifying fold of No Limit records, Snoop’s first Master P free release, the sprawling and unfocussed Paid da Cost to be da Bo$$ was hardly the bracing comeback that Snoop fans were looking for. Though Snoop would not succeed in fully rediscovering his drum-tight cadences and effortless drawl until 2006’s The Blue Carpet Treatment, 2005’s Rhythm & Gangsta was a big step in the right direction.The best tracks handily beat anything that Snoop had put out since Tha Doggfather. As the title indicates, Rhythm & Gangsta is built around the shaky conceit that, having proven his mastery of the rap game, Snoop has set out to reinvent himself as a soulful crooner. When listening to Rhythm & Gangsta its best to ignore this notion entirely and skip past the snooze inducing R&B workouts that clutter the record to the surefire bangers. The skeletal clicks and whistles of the phenomenal “Drop It Like It’s Hot” and the vintage G-Funk of “Da Bidness” sport exceptionally tight rhymes from Snoop and production that hearkens back to Snoop’s glory days while remaining compellingly progressive.
