Advantages: Lots of hits Disadvantages: A few weaker tracks
"Ego Trippin'" is the ninth album by the California rapper, Snoop Dogg and it was released today, 17th of March 2008. "Ego Trippin'" is the Bigg Dogg's opportunity to show off what he is about so there are very few collaborations and much of the production is done by himself, he said that as he has got so far in the industry, he deserves to release an album that's just about himself, so all of what's on here feels right for himself. This is why there is less gangsta stuff on here and he has included a bit of funk.
1. "A Word Witchya!" (Intro)
2. "Press Play" (feat. Kurupt)
This track acts as the perfect track to introduce you to this album, as it doesn't have too much energy it's just a good build up by Snoop Dogg and Dogg Pound member The Kingpin, Kurupt. He explains what he's going to give us with this album as he presents ...
Advantages: Previously-unreleased material Disadvantages: Lacks the energy of most of his albums
"Dead Man Walkin'" was the 2000 release from the Long Beach California-rasied rapper, Snoop Dogg. Due to the fact that Snoop had been signed to No Limit at the time of publication was significant, as this is a compilation of unreleased tracks from Snop whilst on the Dead Row record label, without the artists permission.

1. "May I"

**Four Stars**
2. "C-Walkin'"
Snoop gets his Crip Walk on with this one, showing that even Gs need to boogie, even if its ...
Advantages: Strong throughout Disadvantages: Underrated
"Dogg Food" came as the debut album, from Tha Dogg Pound in 1995. The Dogg Pound Gangstas (DPG) are a West Coast rap duo, consisting of members Kurupt, and Snoop Dogg's cousin, Daz. The pair had been hyped by performing alongside Snoop, Dr. Dre and other West Coast Gansta Rap acts, and had lent their production to tracks by some of these artists too. This album would be considered one of the main albums invovlved within the East Coast-West Coast beef of the mid-nineties as the duo directly call out New York rappers with their rhymes.
1. "Intro"
2. "Dogg Pound Gangstaz"
After the intro, DPG give another track to show who they are and what they are all about. In comparison to the rest of the tracks, I thought that it wasn't really as strong as them. I think that this is down to the beats in it as Daz goes for beats which sound ...
