[.ca] Blue Carpet Treatment

From Amazon.com:
Tha Blue Carpet Treatment finds Snoop employing his usual impressive lineup of collaborators and strutting his way through a by-now standard litany of libidinous, gang-bangin' boasts. But when your record is packed with this much veteran savvy and smooth flavor, the pride comes naturally. Snoop has been g-funky as hell for a long while, but "Crazy," with its hypnotic keyboard loop and silky flow, is impressive even for him. It's a trickle of light to counter the equally accomplished but darker "Vato," a fever-dream street duet with Cypress Hill's B Real. Traces of Doggystyle-era gangsta show up as well; the laconic flow of "Candy (Drippin' Like Water)" for instance, featuring E-40 and MC Eiht, is as instantly appealing as anything on that seminal debut. It must be said that whatever Snoop Dogg releases at this point in his career competes with his overwhelming celebrity and cartoonish, pimp-maestro image, and that makes it hard to take him seriously. But here, even a too-obvious, potentially disastrous song like "I Wanna F*** You" manages not to be ridiculous. If that's not the mark of a true star, I don't know what is. --Matthew Cooke

Snoop connects with the fat of the bat!:
I'm a big fan of hip hop and rap albums, mostly because I love the production value. The recordings are often very clean but very fat and bassy as well. The Blue Carpet Treatment is no exception to this - in fact, it's one of the best produced and smoothest rap albums I've ever heard. Lots of Snoop's influences shine through here with flavors of Donny Hathaway, Curtis Mayfield, Parliment, Leon Hayward and even Stevie himself appears on "Conversations" - a monster track that finished this great album off leaving the listener wanting more! This is, in my opinion, as good as it gets and Snoop has proven, yet again that he rightly deserves to be at the very top of the industry. The boy's got serious game.
