Synopsis

Amazon.com
Comprised of 12 tracks pulled from the Death Row Records rubble, this is the album that Snoop Dogg doesn't want you to hear. Why? Because these songs come straight from the studio floor. Disrespectfully titled Dead Man Walking by imprisoned Death Row president Suge Knight, the album hashes together unreleased and early versions of cuts from Snoop's Doggfather and No Limit Top Dog eras. "Head Doctor" features uncredited guest vocals from Raphael Saadiq and Tha Dogg Pound make saving appearances on the keyboard- and snare-driven "Tommy Boy" and "Cee Walkin'." The slow dragging funk of "Too Black" offers a hypnotic jazz feel. But the album's best offering is "Change Gone Come," with its eerie synthesizers and rippling bass line. If you want everything Snoop this ain't bad. But for the nonfanatic, there just isn't enough cream in this crop. --Kenji Jasper

It doesn't matter who did or didn't want this released, it's all crap and these morons are all thieves. It's too bad they're not dead. There isn't enough puke to justify this swill. If you like this maggot-infested turd the moron hall of fame is for you.

His 3rd best CD...
DarkAudio | San Diego, CA | 11/14/2005
(4 out of 5 stars)

"After Doggystyle (#1) and Tha Doggfather (#2), this is Snoop's 3rd best CD. It was downplayed in the public because Snoop did not WANT anyone to buy it, since it was from his Death Row years. Most of these songs are old though, and tight as hell. Hardly anybody has this CD, but it is way better than Tha Last Meal (which was released at almost the same exact time and made much more public because that is the CD that Snoop WANTED people to buy). Lots of controversy around this CD, but I am a huge Snoop fan and I think this is his third best. Too bad he didn't want anyone to get it, because I did, and I still love it. I'm listening to Tha Last Meal right now and I don't like it half as much as this one."
The 3 Stars Are NOT For Snoop Read Below---
G-Funk 4ever | Listenin' to the Delfonics | 05/05/2007
(3 out of 5 stars)

"This album is not a new (for 2000)album between Top Dogg and Last Meal; this is a collective of older material. Believe it or not, the songs are dope to classic Snoop Dogg, but if all the reading I did is correct, this album was released without Snoop's desire (perhap's Death Row's Snoop Doggy Dogg's Greatest Hits was too), perhaps by Death Row's faltering empire trying to squeeze out as much money as possible. The songs are dope though, and the music is not why this album garners a 3 star rating. I respect Snoop Dogg's legacy, and if I found out about this before buying this I would just have to refuse buying this make due without classic tracks like "Hit Rocks" a real Snoop banger with a fantastic G-Funk beat, and "Change Gone Come" and the bouncy upbeat feel of bangers like "May I" gangstger inflected "Gangsta Walk." The beats on this album are hot as are the songs which remind the listener of the old Snoop, the loccest crip outta LBC with that laid back flow. The 3 stars are for the good music, and the missing 2 stars are for the rip-off of Snoop's music. If I'da known it, I probably would of passed this on in support of Snoop."
