I'm always a few years behind the mainstream trends in music and Snoop Dogg is an excellent example. When the Dr. Dre-style, if you will, first appeared, it got on my nerves. The pencil thin Casio undertone was like nails on a blackboard and I couldn't understand its appeal. But as years passed and trends moved on it hit me just how fluid Snoop Dogg is and how that style is meant to be a bit grating: the intensity of the narrative is supposed to free your ass and ground your mind (the un-Funkadelic, I suppose). This was probably the first West Coast style song that grabbed me.
