Malice n Wonderland is the tenth studio album by rapper Snoop Dogg.[10] It was released on December 8, 2009.[11][12]

Background

The album consists of fourteen tracks[12] and features production from Teddy Riley, Nottz, The Neptunes, The-Dream, and Terrace Martin. Guest features include R. Kelly, Soulja Boy Tell 'Em, and Brandy.

According to Doggystyle Records president and Snoopadelic Films president Ted Chung, Snoop will be shooting a mini-movie to accompany the album (similar to his 1994 short film/soundtrack Murder Was the Case), portraying him as a "super gangster".[12] Snoop Dogg hosted WWE Raw on October 19, 2009 to promote Malice n Wonderland.

Reception

Malice n Wonderland was received with generally favorable reviews. The Smoking Section said "[Snoop's] one-of-a-kind flow and the knowledge of how to actually craft an enjoyable record will likely continue to serve as one of premiere blueprints in Hip-Hop." [13]

Malice n Wonderland debuted at number 23 on the Billboard 200, selling 59,000 in its opening week.[14] It is his first album since Paid tha Cost to Be da Boss, not to reach the Top 10 on the Billboard 200, and his lowest charting album on the U.S. R&B/Hip-Hop charts and his only album to miss the British and Australian top 100. First week numbers of the album are Snoop Dogg's lowest yet. Malice n Wonderland has sold 260,000 to date. His previous album, Ego Trippin' debuted at number three in the United States with 137,000 copies sold, and has sold over 400,000 copies to date.
