Review # 1 was written on 2009-09-08 00:00:00 Chester Slonaker The only problem is, the jacket copy states this is Volume One of the Doggy Tales. Never name your first of anything Volume One if you truly do not have Volume Two in the can, ready to go. I've noticed this problem in the arts since...well, I'm not really able to spin Listen Without Prejudice Volume Two, am I? Snoop and his co-author paint a vivid, albeit MTV-lite, picture of growing up in the inner city; making for the armchair reader an entertaining journey into that reality. And they have the mercy to leaven with humor. I outright chuckled over many a passage. Snoop flashes his phd in urban anthropology: Blood family is a Tolstoy prophecy, with a bottomless appetite for dysfunction: mom falls for the con man, uncle is a cheap, drunk freeloader and brother's silence is all-too-easily bought with a new pair of shoes. But even the surrogate family of friends and neighbors eventually pops its circuitry: Women are always strong and desirable: but either salvation or sin. Men are always a hybrid of clown and king: they demand allegiance even as they fall over and over in the overlarge shoes of their sinister philosophies. Blah blah blah. It comes with a free CD; Paul Auster rock you to sleep lately? Didn't think so.
