audio review : Down 4 My Niggas ( song ) … C-Murder ( featuring Magic + Snoop Dogg )

If C-Murder insisted on “4” for “For”, he should’ve put four Niggas on the song. Not that he’s the type that cares about petty semantics. He might shoot me for even suggesting it. “If you fuck with me,” he warns, “it’s a must you die.”

What makes the song go hard is that along with decent verses; Snoop’s monotone flow drags the energy down a bit; and a solid beat, it has a catchy hook, albeit one that almost makes the mistake of parroting the horn riff.

audio review : I Wanna Thank Me ( album ) ... Snoop Dogg

Snoop Dogg shouldn’t be thanking himself for these songs. Most of them are decent enough, thanks mostly to an assortment of Long Beach hood beats; the Looking For You summer anthem is the best in that regard; but some parts are annoying.

It’s good to hear Slick Rick in 2019; he was also featured on Mariah Carey’s newest album; but the song he’s on is on some tired race card bullshit. It’s also disappointing hearing banal Bob Marley, Whodini and Boyz 2 Men song bits used for hooks.

The title is silly, but it’s not Snoop’s worst. Remember Malice N Wonderland? It would be appropriate if this were his final album. I doubt it is; the Thank Me concept is based on his Hollywood star acceptance speech; but maybe it should be.
