In the world of hip hop, Snoop Doggy Dog will always be that cool, lovable uncle everyone has who is stoned ALL THE TIME. Seriously, Snoop without weed is like N.W.A. sans Ice Cube or Tom Cruise without the crazy - it just wouldn't be the same. As of late, Snoop has been on the downslope of his career. Although The Bluecarpet Treatment was one of the better albums of 2006, it was sandwiched in his discography by two almost laughable albums, R&G and Ego Trippin'. Still, you can't hate Snoop. It would be like hating Santa Claus or the Easter Bunny, it's just not allowed. I like this track (released on Wednesday), because it shows that Snoop is still able to spit like the Snoop Doggy Dogg of old, while "Gin And Juice" is simply one of the greatest tracks in hip hop history. Off of his standout debut album, Doggstyle, "Gin And Juice" should be recognized, if not memorized, by any self-respecting hip hop head and has a hook that is one of the most referenced lines in hip hop history (With my mind on my money and my money on my mind). Enjoy.
Peace, Love, & Snoop,
Noah
