The production duo laced five of this album's songs, but their fingerprints are everywhere else here. R&G is Snoop's first album for Star Trak, the label run by fallen-off hip-hop hitmakers the Neptunes, a duo who all but ruled international radio with dazzling sci-fi stomp-clap new wave beats, but who've been starving for hits ever since they switched up their style to overcooked Vegas schmaltz- all bloopy bass and shuffling drums and swooshing keyboards and unbelievably obnoxious falsetto crooning. But somehow, it's hard to take Snoop's appreciation of the opposite sex seriously when the second track on the album, 'Can You Control Ya Hoe', advocates violence against women more brutally than anything he's done since 'Bitches Ain't Shit'. 'Flip the channel to Lifetime/ You stay on my mind even when I write rhymes,' he growls on 'Promise I'. 'Everything is beautiful/ Right down to ya cuticles,' he coos on 'Perfect'. 'I want to get you alone so I can learn you a little better,' he purrs on 'Stay'. R&G (Rhythm & Gangsta): The Masterpiece is absolutely crammed with them- a nearly endless amount (18 songs, 78 minutes). Unfortunately, he's tackled this dilemma by recording lots of terrible seductive soul tracks. Dre doesn't have anything to do with it.ДЇinally, with R&G : The Masterpiece, Snoop seems to have realized he's not getting younger. He comes out with an album every couple of years, and no one pays any attention because Dr. He's always hanging out with that pimp bishop guy. These days, he's that haggard-looking, vaguely creepy middle-ager who was in Starsky & Hutch, the 'P.I.M.P.' video, and some pornos. He no longer possesses that menacing lean, that cool, dangerous charisma, that effortless way of just rapping through the beat like he was always a part of it and it was always a part of him. He's not the same kid who turned up out of nowhere on 'Deep Cover'.

And of course, its title is awfully misleading. Remember when Snoop jumped to No Limit just as that ship was sinking? This Star Trak release is, quite sadly, a little like that.
