Tha Last Meal was released on December 19, 2000. It is Snoop Dogg's last album released by No Limit Records. It sold 397,238 copies it's first week[1] and has sold over 2 million copies to date according to Soundscan. Contrary to his other work on No Limit/Priority Records, this album has a more laid-back feel. Productionwise this album has a very smooth sound which may or may not be due to a larger production budget. Lyrically, this album focuses more on a lighter approach than his previous more gang and crime oriented material.

It was leaked on the internet on December 1, 2000 by Suge Knight who made all tracks downloadable in MP3 from the official site of his and Snoop's former company Death Row Records, which featured links to tracks from both Tha Last Meal and Dead Man Walkin' albums, asking visitors to "take the Snoop Dogg Challenge" and decide "song for song" which CD is better.[2]

The single "Wrong Idea" was also included in Bad Azz's debut album Personal Business released at Doggystyle. The video for the single was also attributed as a Bad Azz track that featured Snoop.

The single "Snoop Dogg (What's My Name Pt. 2)" was nominated for Music Video of the Year at the The Source Hip-Hop Music Awards 2001. The album was nominated Album of the Year at the same ceremony.
