    Snoop blends the old rap feel with the new style and adds some things to the mix along the way.
  2. NOW Magazine
    80
    He’s stepped outside of his comfort zone of Long Beach City-inspired beats, and the result is his best offering in years.
  3. AllMusic
    80
    The album serves as a reminder of the flexibility and resilience that have allowed Snoop Dogg to remain an enduring figure in hip-hop.

    There's nothing here to rival "Drop It Like It's Hot", much less "gin N Juice", but the results are mostly harmless, even if that was never quite the point. [Jan 2010, p. 126]

    With six producers and 10 guest stars, Malice N Wonderland sees the ageing gangsta casting an eye over modern hip hop in all its forms, including Pronto's nod to the AutoTune phenomenon featuring the manipulated vocals of singing robot Soulja Boy. [Jan 2010, p. 90]

    The woozy G-funk of 2 Minute Warning and 1800's crunk rat-a-tat show his trademark drawl has lost none of its subtle menace, though too often it's left to guest cameos to supply the spark - rising R&B star Jazmine Sullivan brushing her host aside on soul-powered highlight Different Languages.

  7. PopMatters

    I’m increasingly unsure what its audience is looking for, but being that 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.

    I got money, I love sex, I can kick your butt! The same old crap you heard countless times before. He never had anything relevant to say in I got money, I love sex, I can kick your butt! The same old crap you heard countless times before. He never had anything relevant to say in his music career....which makes the overall music experience shallow! Some good tracks! Not as good as "The Blue Carpet Treatment". which aroused hope for his growth! pass!… Expand

    snoop dogg' lyrics on here are horrendous. he seems to have no passion for music anymore. the production on here sounds atrocious. seems allsnoop dogg' lyrics on here are horrendous. he seems to have no passion for music anymore. the production on here sounds atrocious. seems all that weed smoking snoops been doing has gone to his head. snoops albums after the success of doggystyle haven't been received the same recognition as his first aside from paid da cost to be the boss. but then again you can only rap bout the same thing for so long before it becomes tiresome and boring. this album was a huge disappointment.… Expand
