...pioneering effort to eliminate the emptiness one feels listening to a gangsta-rap album without the accompanying visual stimulus of hard-core pornography, rapper SNOOP DOGG has teamed up with Hustler founder Larry Flynt to produce the first ever XXX movie with a completely original rap score. Snoop Dogg's Doggystyle features 11 original Snoop tracks and six new Snoop music videos, which serve as preludes to the rompin' sex scenes. Inexplicably, Snoop decided not to participate in those. He did, however, have a hand in casting the talent, which includes such notables as India, Obsession and Tony Eveready...
...Paul McCartney. (And remember, he was the Cute Beatle.) At one time it probably seemed that rock music was entirely yours, a thing that you could imagine grew out of your own fevered brain. Now a good slice of it apparently belongs to somebody else, somebody who likes gangsta rap and tinny kid pop and fight songs from WWF Smackdown!

And Fredro Starr (who also performs the movie's theme song, "Shining Through," with Jill Scott, on the soundtrack) is convincing in a Tupac Shakur-ish role as a thug-life-livin', low-riding gangsta who nearly pulls Derek into a life of crime...
...band's 1993 debut album, Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers) was rough and rambling, combining ragged street beats with lyrical imagery and audio samples drawn from Hong Kong martial-arts flicks. At a time when West Coast gangsta rap was dominating the hip-hop scene, the arrival of Wu-Tang of Staten Island, N.Y., announced that the East Coast was not to be ignored. The group's last major album, the ambitious 1997 double album Wu-Tang Forever, was a challenging, complex work of urban sprawl, spilling over with rude wordplay, goofy ideas, bad attitude and mumbled philosophy...
