This is one of the greatest hip-hop albums ever. Warren G shows here, on his debut album, that he is a hip-hop genius. The sunny summertime sounds of Long Beach rap are always amazing.I cant get over how good this album is and the quality of it.once you put it inti your cd player you wont take it out. The songs are unreal and can be enjoyed over and over again. Warren G has the ability to appeal to all. All of the songs are extremely memorable, and I find it hard to believe that anyone couldn't enjoy this album. Listening to it soothes you; it makes one feel better. Almost like heaven on Earth, quite a masterpiece. Warren G is a complete hip-hop artist, with the ability to rap and produce amazingly well. This album has some of Warren G in his 213 days, and in my mind Warren continues to bring the West Coast to the top. All of the lyrics are intelligent, no mindless killing songs, no stupid sex stories, and best of all, no dumb interludes. Instead, the two interludes are hilarious plays on other things, "Gangsta Sermon", a sermon turned gangsta with a preacher talking about chronic, and my favorite interlude, "1994 Draft", which turns the NBA Draft on its ear to a woman draft. The best things about this album are the bright sounds and raps.

The highlights on this album include the classic "Regulate", the first single, in which Warren G and Nate Dogg trade lines, making a magnificent team. This is in my mind the most innovative track in all of hip-hop. On "Do You See", there are icy keyboards and great raps by Warren G, excellent lyrics about his life and the way it has progressed. On "Recognize", a great Long Beach track, Warren joins The Twinz, a group on his very own label, and they bring in some excellent raps. Warren comes off very well on this track himself, and the keyboards and guitar are great. On "Super Soul Sis", Warren joins special guest Jah Skills, a female rapper from the group Five Footaz, for a light-hearted spinning song that works brilliantly. "So Many Ways" is a swinging tune that has Warren G turning in an excellent performance, and a great spanish chorus with sweet keyboards. My very favorite, the second single, "This DJ", is another track I really love, with its soulful keyboards and feeling, is Warren G at his best. Yet another one of my favorites is "This Is The Shack", a blissfully swinging, shuffle-beat track featuring The Dove Shack, who all really kick nice raps over a sweet keyboard and funky guitar. Another classic is "And You Don't Stop", laced by guitar somewhat like the background music of Warren's newer track "Dope Beat", and Warren's lively raps. Last is the lyrically amazing track, "Running With No Breaks", another track I love, and I can enjoy all of the tracks, they are all amazing.

To conclude this review, I can enjoy all of the tracks on this classic album. Any hip-hop fan will appreciate this, but it's great even if you like Soul/R&B, Jazz, Blues, anything, this is a great find. You won't be disappointed.
