Snoop Dogg - Upside Down
Artist: Snoop Dogg
Featuring: Nipsey Hussle , Problem
Producer: Terrace Martin
Album: Malice in Wonderland
Label: RCA
Much like his last single Gangsta Luv, the latest Snoop Dogg offering Upside Down is an upbeat track with a catchy hook. Featuring fellow west-coasters Nipsey Hussle and Problem, Upside Down opens with a short intro and then immediately attempts to teach America a new phrase for finishing off a drink: “Turn them things upside down.” Snoop’s flow and voice are a hip-hop staple, and he sounds smooth on this track, but frankly his lyrics are uninspired. While I understand Upside Down is a party anthem, I expect more from the Doggfather (even if he does reference his and Dr. Dre’s classic Nuthin’ but a ‘G’ Thang in one line). For their parts Problem and Hussle don’t add much, apart from repeating the hook and shouting out lines like “Put em on up” in the background, though Hussle does have the best line of the track when he says, “We all ballin’ like the ‘09 Lakers.” Snoop’s latest album Malice in Wonderland is set to drop December 8, just in time for the holidays.

I gotta say that I expected way more from this track when I saw Nipseay and Snoop on another track together. This was a far cry from "Gangsta's Life". The beat was OK, and it could have been rotated wit better lyrics and more contribution from Nipsey. His part was the most inspired and best part of the track. In fact, his own line sums it up... "I been concentratin'/I'm sh!#!n on these records while you rappers constipated."

Production is banging and I feel that some southern artists would have destroyed this but Snoop is just missing the energy required to work a beat like this. The guest features are on point but not enough to warrant this as a banger.
P.S. To all the Gucci haters out there, great news, it will be 6 months before we have to hear another guest feature. Burr. |

I wasn't feeling this one at all. Snoop has been declining lately (I know he still has it, I'm just not liking his new direction). Nipsey and Problem did not add to the track. Production was nothing special, either.

Agree with Phantom i thought Snoop could go a lot harder, he didn't bring his usual charisma. Beat was cool, supporting cast did their thing, Nipsey killed it. In the rotation.

Glad that Nipsey gets this kind of look on a Snoop album, but the song is flat. All parties involved are capable of better.

Big Snoop fan (who isn't?) but I haven't heard a track off Malice in Wonderland that I've loved yet. Gangsta Luv eventually grew on me, but I don't see that happening with Upside Down. I remain underwhelmed.

Wow! Snoop can go hard. I thought he'd lost the abiltity after listening to the past few features. He and the track could have gone harder though. This would get skipped at parties

I'm with hypnoticcc and just about everyone else.
I'm still an ardent supporter of both Nipsey Hussle and Snoop. |

I was really expecting more outta this record. Snoop & Nipsey seem like an absolute PERFECT duo...wishing it would have delivered a bit more.

Meh...I expected more.
Nipsey sounded a bit off on this one and Snoop didn't really deliver. |

Beat fo shizzle bangs! but I think it gets a little repetitive by the end, and this beat sounds way too similar to another beat(s). It wasn't a good fit for Snoop's monotone flow on this, though Nipsey definitely nailed it with his flow. Rotation-Stuff.
Uncle Snoop still in search for his next Smash Hit. |

I kind of like this. Hands down Nipsey stole the shine with his guest verse but Snoop did his thing too. Terrace Martin had some upbeat production that I enjoyed.
