How ironic -- dope-fiend gangsta rapper Snoop Dogg fled Death Row Records a few years back, yet there he is in a death row cell on the cover of his new CD The Last Meal. Coincidence? Who can say. All we know is that if Snoop is guilty of anything on this album, it's impersonating George Clinton without a licence. From the knee-deep bass lines and stoner-funk grooves that drop the bomb on the one to the gospelized vocals and screwball star-child backup blathering of "Snoopy Collins," Last Meal is a hemp-happy homage to Uncle Jam in all his Parliament-Funkadelic prime -- not to mention Snoop's most satisfying disc since Doggy Style. Naturally, mentor and fellow P-Funketeer Dr. Dre deserves some of the credit (they didn't coin the term G-funk to describe his sound for nothing, you know). But Snoop -- who elevates the disc beyond mere copycatism with his smoothly blunted raps and kicked-back flow -- remains top dog in this house. Bow-wow-wow, yippee-yo, yippee-yay, y'all.
