...This album is a clear masterpiece from start to finish, every track is superb, with amazing lyrics and beats, which isn't suprising considering the fact that Dr Dre produced the whole album himself. Dr Dre is joined in this album by fellow rapper and friend Snoop Doggy Dogg, who provides some amazing lyrics with his unique and unmatchable style. Together Dr Dre and Snoop Dogg are untouchable.
