Guide Review - Snoop Dogg - Neva Have 2 Worry

Download: Clean | Video

When seeking out creative ideas for a distinctive new song, artists sometimes look inward for inspiration. And Snoop does just that on "Neva Have 2 Worry," a song from his 9th album Ego Trippin'. The story of Snoop has been relayed over and over ("Ups and Downs," "Y'all Gon' Miss Me"), and it doesn't warrant much revisiting at this point. But what Snoop lacks in substance he compensates for in style. In his traditional laid-back fashion, the hip-hop OG thumps his chest ("15 years in the game, man, and I'm still relevant"), defends his foul mouth ("freedom of speech, 'beeyatch' is a word you can't ban"), and reflects on his shortcomings ("swimming with the sharks and I almost drowned").
