    High five to Snoop. This album still notes that he can be old and still be a great emcee. Keep it up.

    This is a dope hip/hop album, it blows Jay-Z's Kingdom Come out of the water. The album starts off better than any album I can think of, with the first 6 songs being better than anything released all year, but sadly there are to many forgettable "Gangsta" tracks on this album. The best songs on this album are the laid back ones, and to many times he trys to inforce his gangster This is a dope hip/hop album, it blows Jay-Z's Kingdom Come out of the water.

The best songs on this album are the laid back ones, and to many times he trys to inforce his gangster image, but don't get me wrong nobody does "Gangsta" better than Snoop, and even though the middle of the album is a little weak, this is still a hip/hop album that is more than worth the money… Expand

    The beats are unbelievable, the lyrics are solid and the album is varied. Every song impresses, making this one of if not the best Snoop Dogg album ever.

    What do ya'll critics want from Snoop? If you want sensitive lyrics, check Common. If you want fresh flow, check Ghostface. Snoop's just bein' Snoop. He might not be saying anything new (but who in rap is), but his flow is still smooth and impeccable, and this is the best produced Snoop album post-Doggystyle.

    This is a solid album, with snoop doing what snoop does (or what snoop did early in his career). I really hate those who haven't heard an album and go ahead and rate it (Todd W). And, Todd W, if you claim to have purchased the album, you are an idiot. Only an idiot purchases something they knew they would dislike from the start.

    This guy is Chapter II in the story of what is wrong with our popular culture. Unlike Kevin Federline, at least this guy had some talent. That being said, he's the Don King of (c)rap music. Only in America can a Snoop Dogg reach the pinnacle of the entertainment business.

Are you listening Lee Iaccoca and Stevie Wonder?… Expand

    "This isn't my best album... in fact, it may be my worst." --Snoop Dog (yeah right, this guy has a 3 year-old's education, he'll never talk like that). "SUCK IT! SNOOP DOG, SUCK IT!"

    Snoop has found a happy balance between pop and hardcore. [25 Nov 2006]

    A throwback to his trunk-rattling G-funk heyday.
