ah theres nothing quite like a good snoop dogg album. on this cover there are so many things that are sybolic to snoop and his gangsta ways. first off is the font of the writing, which is very big in the west coast and im sure can be found on many low riders in the area. next you see snoop with his long braids covered by a du-rag and he is sporting a very cool looking go-tee with a stern look on his face. then you see the huge wad of cash in his right hand and a shiny chain dangling from his neck with a huge pendant on the end of it. then you look to the background of the picture where you can see his left hand with ring on many of his fingers on the thigh of a very voluptious young woman. with all this going on it makes you wonder how he could be so serious. if that was me i'd have a smile from ear to ear. Then you see the parental advisory sticker which has been synonomous with west coast rap artist since the early 90's. all of these things are what snoops all about and i think that he keeps these things in the open because he wants to still be thought of as the gangsta he was when he was a crip.
