background

The e-zine HipHopDX announced on September 2, 2010 in connection with the publication of a video message from Snoop Dogg that the rapper was working with the music producer Swizz Beatz on a new album with the working title Doggystyle 2 . The production should be a successor to his album Doggystyle from 1993. In November, the working title was discarded in favor of the Doggumentary Music title . The album was released with the title Doggumentary .

The album is considered to be his last album for the time being, on which he uses the name Snoop Dogg . The rapper announced in 2012 that he would from now on call himself Snoop Lion and make reggae music. The rapper had given up the name Snoop Doggy Dogg in 1996 when he left the music label Death Row Records , which held the naming rights. From then on he called himself Snoop Dogg.

success

Doggumentary climbed to number 8 in the USA and to number 44 in Great Britain and Germany. The album could not be charted in Austria.

In his review for the online music database Allmusic, David Jefferies says that Snoop Dogg gave up the planned album title as a warning to his fans. While Doggystyle is an album without filler material, Doggumentary arrests on the standard of a mixtape. Be it with reminiscences of pop ( Boom ), the P-Funk legend Bootsy Collins ( We Rest n Cali , Toyz n da Hood ), Roger Troutman's funk band Zapp ( We Rest n Cali , Raised in da Hood ) or the collaborations With Gorillaz ( Sumthin 'Like This Night ) and Willie Nelson ( Superman ) as well as the unusual Wet , all the elements for a good album are present, but with 21 tracks it is clearly too long.

Rolling Stone author Jon Dolan believes that Snoop Dogg longingly evokes his youth, but also points out that the album is made up of greats in the genre. HipHopDX even says that in addition to a few splashes of size, the album by the West Coast icon is a serious disappointment.

Singles

Three singles were released from the album.

The first single was the Wet produced by the American music duo The Cataracs . A remix of the title by the French DJ David Guetta called Sweat hit number two on the charts in Germany and Switzerland. In the UK the remix reached number four and in Austria Sweat topped the charts.

The second single Platinum featured the American contemporary R&B singer R. Kelly , but could not place in the charts.

Most recently, Boom featured with American rapper T-Pain . It could n't replicate the success of Wet / Sweat . The single reached # 56 in the UK UK Top 40 and # 76 on the US Billboard Hot 100 .
