IGN
Just don't look too deeply for significance, insight, or musical innovation. If you know what you're getting into, you may have fun with it.

BBC
Pimping ain’t easy, but Snoop’s evidently still at the forefront of this difficult field.
-
Slant magazine
Malice gives off the air of a particularly boastful quarterly report.
-
All Music
The album serves as a reminder of the flexibility and resilience that have allowed Snoop Dogg to remain an enduring figure in hip-hop.
-
Hip Hop DX
The Doggfather is still the charismatic and compelling figure he’s always been and he’s still the clever entrepreneur.
-
Clash Music
His fans will eagerly consume this latest offering of laidback, r’n’b infused rhymes.
-
Sputnik Music
Who says old Doggs can't learn new tricks?
-
Pandora
Snoop Dogg is able to prove simultaneously that he’s still relevant while showing off his veteran status.
-
ihiphop
it’s a welcome addition for any Snoop fan.
-
Music OMH
Essentially, Snoop’s still Snoop. Unlike rappers who angrily grunt on all their tracks, Snoop has always maintained a smooth, laid back, “rap softly but carry a big stick” approach.
-
Pop Matters
This album seems to rely so heavily on great hooks and attractive beats to sell Snoop's tired, been-there-done-that raps, I can't imagine this being a truly satisfying release for most listeners.
-
Prefix Magazine
Not, by and large, very ambitious.
-
XXL magazine
There are enough grownup moments to keep Malice moving along.
-
SF Gate
Snoop drafts a small army of top-shelf producers and collaborators to make his casual drawl sound fresh again.
-
Independent UK
Snoop Dogg has managed to release an album whose overall meagre level of creativity makes one wonder how he'll work out in his new position.
-
The Gaurdian
It's largely effective, but packs few surprises.
-
Hip Hop Wired
He has decided to switch the style to harder beats and more “jerkin/swagtastic” tracks fit the trends and sounds of the younger generation.
-
Entertainment ie
Snoop may be getting soft in his old age, but he's still making albums worth listening to.
-
News 24
Fans will love this album because he has gone back to his old style of rap.
-
Exclaim
Malice seems more rote than rare. A whimsical concept album.
-
Rukus Magazine
This proves that Snoop can still remain a strong contender in the Hip-Hop industry.
-
Totally Dublin
He’s staler than Maddy jokes, and having Lil Jon shout “whadditdo!” on his album three years after he was relevant definitely doesn’t help.
-
The Scotsman
But the main man acts the malevolent musical uncle to ensure nobody rains on his parade.
-
Spin
The Dogg-father smoothly dispenses boasts about his set, his weed intake, and his pimp hand. He also spells out his name-a lot.
-
Isra Box
The distinctive Snoop Dogg vocal style is as crisp as ever and he is joined on Malice by a virtual who's who of today's top producers and artists.
-
The Manitoban
Although, you know, the more I think about it, maybe Snoop’s steady hand on the gat is exactly what hip hop needs right now.
-
The Aggie
Ultimately, it’s the small details that make the album clever:
-
Cutting Edge
We do not disturb us, because even though the songs are diverse, the majority is doing a great job during a ride through Wonderland.
-
Parle Magazine
Snoop has made the transition from triple OG MC to laid back romantic celebrity marketing tool quite efficiently.
-
HH Vibe
a great listen that will not take all day to be heard in its entirety. From Hip Hop Vibe
