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. ...

Review of Hip Hop History, A (Parental Advisory/Death Row Presents) [PA] - Various Artists

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 ...

Review of All Eyez On Me [PA] - 2Pac

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 ...

Review of Dead Man Walkin' - Snoop Dogg

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 ...

Review of Chronicle, The (The Best Of The Works) [PA] - Dr. Dre

Masterpiece by the master

Advantages: sublime lyrics
Disadvantages: none

...its verry good. "Up Jump tha Boogie" and "Snoop Bounce" show what Snoop can do with a swanky beat. The next song has my favorite Snoop flow ever. Hes just rapping real fast about randome stuff and is undicribable. One of my favorite rap songs. Listen to the sample they have here. "Gold Rush" is a great song with Kurupt on it who always makes the best songs with Snoop Dogg. It has a western film fell to it. "Me and My Doggz" is another one of the ...
...Dee who us now in Tha Eastsidaz now. "Snoops Upside Ya Head" is another great song with an exeptionaly catchy chorus. "Doggyland" is another good one with a unique sound. The final track is Snoop and 2Pac playing live and its sortta haunting the way it ends. you'll see if you get it. Overall I can't say this is Snoops best album but its the only one that I can listen to all the way through without haveing to skip a single track. Overall its well ...
