Critic Reviews
Show All-
Pitchfork
Now mostly famous for being famous, Snoop releases his latest reminder to the world that he's still an active musician.
-
NME
Who cares if this album lacks punch? He's Snoop Dogg.
-
Slant Magazine
Unfortunately, so many of these 21 tracks are so hollow and slapdash that they conspire to relegate the album to mixtape status.
-
IGN
There are plenty of great surprises.
-
Hip Hop DX
Despite its few splashes of greatness, Doggumentary is a grave disappointment.
-
BBC
This is a great modern record: shameless, wantonly eclectic, utterly disinterested in credibility and hugely entertaining.
-
The Gaurdian
Much of this sprawling, under-edited, 79-minute, 21-track opus feels like a mixtape.
-
Pop Matters
Somewhat surprisingly, succeed as Snoop's best full-length release since his seminal debut.
-
ihiphop
There is sure to be something you will enjoy as D-O-Double-G dishes out a little something for everyone.
-
All Music
Doggumentary becomes a fine addition to Snoop’s catalog.
-
LA Times
Snoop returns to his roots to create a laissez-faire funk full of laid-back raps and Jheri Curl groove.
-
Rukus Magazine
Does a decent job. Snoop has had a wide variety of styles and songs over the years and to try to recapture it all is a daunting task for any man.
-
Chicago Now
The final product is very disappointing and --to be honest--boring.
-
Tiny Mix Tapes
Variation in Snoop’s flow and lyrics, makes this a pleasant listen in spite of its missteps.
-
Planet Ill
The set shows Snoop to be a bit more musically courageous in his older years.
-
CBS Live
Old school ’90s hip hop with a fresh and updated sound that works for today’s audience while remaining true to a genre he had a hand in cultivating.
-
Independent UK
Doggumentary is the now-familiar mix of childhood reminiscences, gangsta posturing, hedonist celebration and ganja anthems.
-
Soul Culture
Celebrates Snoop’s career rather than extends the lifespan of it… and for many followers of the S-N-Double-O-P, that’s enough for them to live with.
-
Vibe
Luckily, the boss Dogg doesn’t stray too far from the block, though, appeasing rag wavers (“Gang Bang Rookie”) and progressive music listeners.
-
Beats Per Minute
It’s a relatively likeable one: it’s not every day that a record this lazy achieves such delirious highs. It has to be said: only from Snoop Dogg.
-
Jimmy Ness
His embarrassing attempts at staying relevant may be his undoing. Imagine your dad crip-walking and talking like a thug – you get the idea.
-
Time Out
Good, but with more sonic focus, it could have been so much better.
-
Potholes in My Blog
Fun, enjoyable, (if forgettable) music that will keep Snoop’s name thriving and fans pleased.
-
Blare Magazine
There’s still a lot to enjoy in these songs – particularly the guest appearances by T-Pain, Kanye West, and Bootsy Collins.
-
Rap Reviews
Won't tarnish the polish on his O.G. status.
-
Funk Music News
Snoop seems happy to ride along without making too much effort.
