Real Gs Only
Advantages: All your favourites Disadvantages: No Nuthin but a G thang
This is the ultimate Hip Hop album and the way that I remember the history of the music went, all fom the West Coast. This double album complies all of the most critically acclaimed coming from out of Cali with the greatest in West Coast Hip Hop, G-Funk and Ganngsta Rap. With many of the tunes coming from Hip Hop's favourate albums, "Doggystyle", "All Eyez On Me" and "The Chronic" this compilation does not leave out a single track which you would ... ...Hip Hop History" gives the journey which the West Coast had to make in creating their own style of rapping with a much more laid-back approach, reflective of the climate in California, which also makes them all great summer tunes. Disc 1
1. California Love (Remix) - 2Pac & Dr. Dre
**Five Stars**
Everyone knows this one, its pure West Coast, no paying around, its just hardcore 2Pac in his prime alongside Dre, both showing their love for California. ...

Death Row Brings Tha Dogg Bacc
Advantages: Previously-unreleased material Disadvantages: Lacks the energy of most of his albums
...from Snop whilst on the Dead Row record label, without the artists permission. All the tracks were recorded between 1993 and 1998, so it is highly varied in style and quality. 1. "May I"
This is a massively strong way to get things goign as you have a piece of quality material from Snoop getting things going, showing that he had a lot more potentinal in him than what was released in "Doggystyle", and "Tha Doggfather", not that they weren't great ... ...Snoop gets his Crip Walk on with this one, showing that even Gs need to boogie, even if its just to send a message out to opposite gang members. It is a funky G-Funk tune, which you are bound to like if you wre into material from "Tha Doggfather", and that time in his career. **Four Stars**
3. "Head Doctor"
I wouldn't havre said that this one is anywhere near as good as the majority of the tracks on the album, however it serves a perpose within ...

Dre and his Great Hits
Advantages: All of his great ones Disadvantages: Should of had another discs worth
This is a great collection of all of Dr. Dre's best tracks. The group of records are not only the ones he appeared rapping on, but also the best ones he produced his unique G-Funk style for. Out of such a vast choice it must have been hard to narrow this choice down to just 12. I believe they could have had a second disc, as there was so much potential in all the records he produced over the year.. 1. Nuthin' But A G Thang - Dr. Dre & Snoop Doggy ... ...Doggy Dogg's "What's My Name" in that it is one of the ultimate tracks for the summer and makes you feel as if you are in California.
2. Gin And Juice - Snoop Doggy Dog & Daz
**Five Stars**
"With my mind on my money, and my money on my mind." You can't do a West Coast complilation without this one. This is what the West coast is all about, and you can't do anything you want to do without getting that money.
It doesn't matter how many times you ...

How Did We Get From Jamaica To Snowflakes One Song After The Nex?
Advantages: Lots of big tunes Disadvantages: Nothing specific
“Snowflakes” was released as the first Christmas album from the R&B singer Toni Braxton. Released in 2001, it finds her mixing in a range of tunes which have her taking on familiar tunes that all know from this time as well as some original compositions. It is noted for being recorded at a time when she was newly married and was expecting her first child. 1.“Holiday Celebrate” The album opens up with a track that shows that in this album we are about ... ...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 ...
