About
The later half of the ‘90s were not particularly kind to Snoop Dogg. Following his lightning-fast rise to rap superstardom, his career stalled out for a while. Fans still checked for him, (his reunion with Dr. Dre for "Still D.R.E." was extremely well received), but they wanted that old magic back. On <i>Paid Tha Cost to Be Da Bo$$</i> Snoop steps things up dramatically, with a new label, sharper rhymes, and a fresh gang of producers. The result is his best album in years. Done compromising with generic in-house beatmakers, he enlists some serious firepower behind the boards, with all-stars including DJ Premier, Just Blaze, and the Neptunes. He also gets fiery guest spots from JAŸ-Z, Redman, Nate Dogg, Warren G, plus his forgotten <i>Chronic</i> co-conspirators Lady of Rage and RBX. The big hit on this album was "Beautiful," but some of the lesser-known cuts, especially "Lollipop" and "Long Beach 2 Brick City," are just as great. As close as you can get to a comeback album without actually being gone, <i>Paid Tha Cost</i> finds Snoop rejuvenated and ready to reclaim his throne.
