Despite the middling quality of his previous two albums, Snoop Dogg's sixth full-length effort firmly places this "professor of G-ology" back on top of the game. Snoop comes off surprisingly spry on Paid tha Cost, offering one of his best-balanced albums in years. His pimpalistic style is still draped in silk and fur, especially on "Bo$$ Playa," "Suited 'n' Booted," and "Ballin'." But "I Believe in You" is an unexpectedly sensitive, irony-free love ballad, while Snoop's pairings with the Neptunes and Gang Starr's DJ Premier result in two of his hardest hitting cuts ever, "From tha Chuuuch to da Palace" and "The One and Only" respectively. Combine this with his unfettered attack on Suge Knight ("Pimp Slapp'd") and this is a Snoop Dogg charging forward rather than lazily leaning back. Taking the helm at the dawn of the new decade, this old Dogg still has some new tricks. --Oliver Wang

More For Alicia Jiles Right.......2006-08-12

Ha ha ha!!!! I know why you haven't sent a review full of comebacks. Exactly you got your a** kicked, admit it. You are with no doubt one of the worst reviewers on amazon. At least I didn't have to write a whole lot hate reviews to get the amount helpful votes i've got. I know there are a lot of other dumb haters like yourself who will give you helpful votes for your stupid hate reviews. Snoop Dogg is tha doggfather of rap and is better than Nas and Eminem any day and if you don't like it than you can suck his d***. I can see you simply have no idea what your talking about. When you say you'd judge records as good records despite the offensive content, than why did you leave Doggystyle the same review and rating. Well you admitted that you enjoyed Gin And Juice. You couldn't grasp all his misogyny when you were 11 so you enjoyed it. Then you get put off when you work out that it has offensiveness, but its enjoyable despite that. Doggystyle is a sensational production and very easily the best rap album of all time. I think you'd better delete your review for Doggystyle, because you only judged it on its offensiveness to woman and you should have judged it as a good record despite that. Why did you tell me I don't look like Einstein, well your hating, hypocrisy and arrogance ain't making you look like a genius either. I honestly have no idea why you think amazon needs your reviews. Reviews on this site are actually supposed to help customers to chose whether or not to buy the product. You hardly ever even discuss the products, mostly you just plain talk rubbish about the people. I can't why amazon excepts your reviews. Oh and I read your comeback on Dixie Chick's Fly for S Moore from Texas. Obviously you don't care about anyone on amazon other than yourself. People are sick of your dumb a** reviews and your so arrogant that you don't care about what they think, why are you being a hypocrite by saying Bill Maher is arrogant and thinks the majority of America is dumb when you present yourself exactly the same. I suppose you've met Snoop Dogg and he said hi Biaaaatch and slapped you in the face or something, huh? Well unless you have than your presenting yourself dumber than a box of rocks for thinking that just because he talks like that when his being recorded that his like that in real life. He also talks about murdering people, do you really think that he does all that, confesses it in his music and stays out of jail?, Well if your thinking that he in real life does hate woman than you must also think that he actually also goes out and murders people and sells drugs etc when his got about 50 million in the bank and he hasn't gotten any jail sentences yet. You have no evidence to support your arguement that his actually like that in real life when you've never been around him when his not being recorded. Its just the whole gangsta character, all gangstas talk about that sort of stuff in their music. And you think that Snoop Dogg fans have an I.Q. equal to their shoe size. God well you seem to be a fan of Eminem and he curses a hell of a lot, talks for a good amount of time about raping and killing woman and talks about being gangsta and s***. You said most of his music is really good and a good percentage of it contains a good amount of the things I listed. So if what you said is true than you must have an I.Q. the same as the people your accusing. Fans aren't dumb, haters are dumb as f***!!!!!

Snoop did alright with this release. Its a pity he can't do as good as Doggystyle but its still alright. I'm a diehard fan of Snoop so I had to get this and being such a big fan I was able to enjoy it. He has his amazing voice and a few dope beats. This is another album for all Snoop fans.

Hey Alica Jiles Right Guess Who's Back.......2006-07-31

Thanks for saying something for everything I said in my review as Tupac. Now how about I do the same thing to you.
Paid Da Cost...isn't a good record, therefore it doesn't deserve a good rating.
_Now you tell me, you didn't say s*** about what you thought of the record in your whole review.

You must be if Snoop Dogg is one of your favorite rappers.
-So i'm dumb just because I can enjoy good hip hop music, I get it.

If you know it, it makes me wonder why you like it so much, unless you share the same sexist mentality. That's something I wouldn't readily admit if I were you.
-How about the fact that not all of us are concerned with the s*** your concerned with, jacka**. If you think that anyone who can enjoy Snoop's music shares the same sexist mentality, think again.

Hmmm, more misogyny. Seems like Snoop Dogg's lyrics are rubbing off on you: calling a woman a "biotch." Very original. Who says rap music holds no effect on its listeners? Also, why do YOU have the right to express your opinions, but I don't? More sexism.
-Ever heard of an insult? Rap music hasn't effected me 1 bit, I just like to insult retards like you who can't take a hint. Well if you want to p** people off with your stupid reviews than go ahead. Just proves that your a pure idiot and a vindictive cow.

No Eminem is not more offensive. Furthermore, Paid Tha Cost... is not a good record. If it were, I would judge it as a good record despite the offensive content. If you want to do background checks, I suggest you look at ALL my reviews, not just the ones that help your argument.
-If you don't think that Eminem is at least as offensive than why not stop writing dumb reviews and go and listen to some of his albums? Well like I said, now you tell me what you think of the record. You never said s*** about it in your review. Well just because you don't like it doesn't mean its a bad record. Also you gave Snoop's Doggystyle the same review and rating and its one of the top rap CDs of all time. Explain that? Honestly, You can't be serious about your reviews. Your a joke, get over it.

I guess if having a problem with the way ghetto morons are degrading and mistreating women and showing that they have absolutely no class is a sign of idiocy, then I'll be an idiot. Furthermore, your rant doesn't exactly make you look like Einstein.
-Why don't you just forget about it. Who's forcing you to listen to Snoop? If your life is having a problem with music artists you don't even have to listen to than get a life! Thanks for saying i'm no Einstein, Lots of people consider me a nerd and i'm glad you don't think so.

I know you probably abuse women and think you're the boss of them, but I'm not one of your ho-es. Don't tell me what to do.
-Your determined to spend your whole life being a total [...], aren't you? Why are you s*** talking on Snoop?, he doesn't s*** talk on you.

Fo-sheezy my neezy - Hmm it looks like the Snoop hater is talking Snoop talk, How pathetic you are.

Any way this is an alright Snoop album. I miss the old Snoop Doggy Dogg however I lke all Snoop's albums. My fave famous song would have to be From Tha Chuuuch To Da Palace and my fave non famous song would have to be Bo$$ Playa. I own all of Snoop's albums and this isn't my best but I would'nt say its my worst. If you like this you should alos get albums like Da Game Is To Be Sold Not To Be Told, No Limit Top Dogg and Tha Last Meal.

Hey Alicia Jiles Right Shut The F*** Up!.......2006-07-27

Well well well, I knew you'd come back with a neg review. Well i'll just give you another neg review. No i'm not some stupid sex friek and even if I was as if i'd want to like you said pull my pants down in front of someone as ugly as you if my life depended on it. Yeah i'm a Snoop fan so what? the problem with you is you seem to have a problem with that. Reviews posted on this site are actually supposed to help customers to chose whether or not to buy it. Yeah his offensive to woman boo hoo. I don't see any other woman having a cry on this site like you do. That may be because most woman are grown up enough to except that CDs like this are out there and they just don't have to listen to them. I may feel different about Snoop if I was a woman however if I was a woman i'd really give all the crying about it a miss. I understand, however if your life is hating on people like Snoop for this than get a life. I'm sorry but Eminem is very offensive to woman. He even talks about killing woman let alone raping them and calling them bad names. So don't even get me started on that. I'm trying to tell you what to do as if your my b**** or some s*** like that am I, seriously give me a break your way to old for me miss. I'm just saying your reviews are very useless and inappropriate and anyone who says they are helpful is dumb as hell. You need to learn to stick to your own s***. If you hate Snoop's albums so much than why waste time writing unhelpful reviews? And seriously get over your whole attitude, you sound like a spoilt teenager in your neg review on me. And that s*** you said about me not being Einstein, thanks I'm glad that someone doesn't consider me a nerd.

Go ahead write another neg review full of smart a** comments. I will just laugh at you.

I'll write about the album now that i've got that over with. This is definitely not Snoop at his best however if you are a diehard fan you can appreciate this. Snoop's voice is definitely not a let down, it is just something you can't not like. My fave famous song would have to be From Tha Chuuuch To Da Palace and my fave non famous song would have to be Bo$$ Playa. This wouldn't be Snoop's best no limit but it is still kick a** material

P.S. To Alicia Jiles Right - I Hate TLC!

Alicia Jiles Right is a Smart A** Moron.......2006-07-09

I'm so sick of this "Alicia Jiles Right" moron. I can't figure this clown out, she gave Eminem's music 5 stars and said its really good and Eminem is just as if not more offensive to women as Snoop Dogg. You obviously think we're all dumb don't you? Snoop Dogg disrespects woman etc do you think we don't know that? I don't know you but I bet your are pure idiot. Lay off Snoop Dogg and any other rappers your trashing neg reviews on. Keep your f***** opinions to yourself Biotch!

Anyway I miss the old Snoop Doggy Dogg. It seems this guy can't top his debut however if you are a fan of Snoop like me you should purchase this album along with all the others
Doggystyle, Tha Doggfather, Da Game Is To Be Sold Not To Be Told, No Limit Top Dogg, Tha Last Meal, Dead Man Walkin, Tha Eastsidaz, Duces N Trayz THe Old Fashioned Way, R & G The Masterpiece, Welcome to tha chuuch Da album and probably some more I have not mentioned. Like I said it's not as good as some of the others but if you are a true Snoop fan click add to cart now.

Rapping Didn't Match Production.......2006-03-27

This could have been a better album had the main rapper's skills went with the quality production Quik came with. Too often Playa Hamm wasn't rapping on beat. Plus I felt that lyrically he and Tweed Caddilac got too focused on using the bitch,hoe and nigga lyrics that too many gangsta/playa rappers do. This made the lyrics feel too repetative in my opinion. I have heard Playa Hamm rap since this album on Quik's Safe & Sound and I think he's a better rapper now than he was back then with this album.

So musically I was feeling it,but lyrically I felt it was too repetative for the reasons I mentioned.

A West Coast CD Collection Must Have.......2004-12-14

This is a CD I remember from high school back in '92. Back when DJ Quik was killing the game. I had to have it just because Quik, 2nd II None, AMG & Hi-C used to shout out the group's name on all of their songs. Bought this without hearing a single track from it and have loved it ever since.

The group consist of Playa Hamm & Tweed Cadillac. Playa Hamm is the player rapper showing you how playas play. Tweed is the pimp of the group. He's not a rapper but he puts it down with a smooth delivery and easy speak to let the suckas and ladies know how the pimp game goes.

Paid the Cost features appearances from DJ Quik, AMG, Eazy-E & others. Stand out tracks are Trust No, Blak Iz A Poet, Explanation Of A Playa & P.L.F. The CD does have some songs that sag and lack but overall it's a great listen.

I highly recommend this CD. 10 plus years later I still keep it in rotation. Mine was stolen recently which is what brings me here to Amazon to buy another. My 4th replacement! That's bcuz it's a must have.

This is one of my Favorite CD's to this DAY!!.......2007-03-29

Snoop puts it down proper on this. You can listen to it from begining to end. Its like a journey, even if u are as high as the Big BOss DOgg when listening to it, u didnt hear this from me but THAT makes it even better. This CD is Oozing Funk.

YOu need this in your collection. Snoop is still a excellent artist and a true G!!

I Paid Tha Cost For Being Stupid.......2003-12-17

Here in Brazil, rap CDs normally come with the Parental Advisory, due to its explicit contens, but it's not always. I've bought many explicit rap CDs in here without the Parental Advisory, so I've never thought the Clean Versions would come to Brazil.
I bought this CD without knowing it was Clean. I was listening this CD and I soonly found out that the songs were all censored, it made me really angry. I'm lucky that this isn't one of the most explicit rap CDs ever (with more cussing, I mean). If it was, I would be even more upset. The songs sound like if they were broken, something like that. I hate when the beats stop because of cussing. So, I hate Clean Versions from now on. This CD would probably get four stars if it wasn't for the "broken songs".
Anyway, "Beautiful" is still the best song in this CD, followed by "Lollipop", who has a great beat, "I Believe In You", "You Got What I Want".
This CD features famous rappers like Jay-Z, Nate Dogg, Ludacris and some others I haven't heard of. I miss Dr. Dre, Eminem and 50 Cent in this CD, it would be much better with them, I think. But the CD is worth you money (atleast the Explicit Version) for few tracks. I bought this CD actually to get ready to Snoop Dogg's show in my city, he's coming in January, and the show is going to rule.
The Clean version of this CD isn't worth your money, even if you want to buy it for your children and you're worried with the content, just don't. It has few cussing and it's OK for 12 and up.
Hip Hop is meant to be explicit, if you censor it, it's not Hip Hop anymore, it's fake.
