Life Goes On

Advantages: One of the few REAL hip hop classics ever!
Disadvantages: none!

...revenge, fear but most of all it is full of love.. Tupac Shakur had just come from serving eight or nine months in Clinton Correctional Facility, and was full of energy. He had a mission, to show all the people that left him for dead that he was a hundred times better without them... and on this album he did! This is the first ever double CD in the hip hop genre. Which features the biggest names in west coast gangsta rap, amoung others Dr Dre, ...
...the black panthers. 2. All Bout U - "every other city we go, every other radio, no matter where i go, i see the same hoe!" very funny song, talking about the women in the video's. The inspiration for the song came from a video shoot... Nate Dogg, Pac and Snoop were at a shooting when they realised they new all the girls in the video! if Pac didnt know one of them, either Snoop or Nate did, if Snoop didnt know one of them, then Pac or Nate did! and ...

Dogg Pound Flava For Tha Nine-Fever

Advantages: Strong throughout
Disadvantages: Underrated

...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 ...
...during this one. Snoop Doggy Dogg kicks things off with the first verse on this one as he brigns his laid-back, yet excitng rhymes to get you ready for the type of thing which Kurut the Kingpin and Daz Dilligner are going to follow it up with. **Five Stars** 6. "Cyco-Lic-No" The quality just doesn't stop here as Daz provides even more of his amazing beats, which are just typical of the West Coast scene at this point in time. He makes the perfect ...

Review of Dogg Food [PA] - Tha Dogg Pound

plenty of style but plenty of poop too

Advantages: Good, funky music, markable production
Disadvantages: awful lyrics, glorifying rape

...13. Chronic Break 14. Doggy Dogg World 15. U Betta Ask Somebody 16. G'z & Hustlas 17. U Betta Recognise 18. Pump Pump This album was a joint effort between producer Dr. Dre, and rapper Snoop Dogg. Dr. Dre is considered by many with justification as the greatest grandmaster music producer of Hip-Hop, basing his influences and samples on the Funk music of bands like Parliament, George Clinton, Funkadelic, and Zapp & Roger Troutman, and blending them ...
...with head nodding beats to create a smooth musical texture for the vocalist to sink his teeth into and spit with a commanding delivery. Snoop Dogg had appeared on Dr. Dre's own album "The Chronic" and gained a high profile for his portrayal of a ruthless, trigger happy gangster killer with a disturbingly cool and disaffected sing-song delivery. When Dr. Dre and him pulld together to make this back in 1993- Snoop's first solo album, Hip Hop fans were ...

...lts of effort put into it in order to make it sound much more than your average, quickly-thrown-together Christmas album as we get thoughtful production that mixes in the contemporary R&B trends with the Christmas-y themes for a big opener that I can't find any faults with. **Five Stars** 2.“Christmas In Jamaica” As things move on, we see there here we get what was the second album from the record and a joint that has her linking up with the Dancehall ...
