Tha Last Meal (No Limit, 2000) by Snoop Dogg

This album will be remembered as the best album in No Limit's catalog.  As Snoop's last release on Master P's southern label, the material has a decidedly more West coast feel.  After years of searching for his identity as an artist post Doggystyle.  Tha Doggfather recognizes his niche on this album with heavy bass lines and funk.  The epitome of this album is the classic single, "Lay Low," wherein atop a Dr. Dre beat with a Nate Dogg hook, Snoop, Tha Eastsidaz and Master P trade bars- all rapping about what they rap about best.  This album was all about Snoop being his own man and declaring his independence.  Mission accomplished.  He was already a superstar, but his career achievements since have undoubtedly made him one of the most charismatic and recognizable figures in all of hip hop history.
