Another mediocre effort from Snoop

"This album is mediocre and has no great tracks. It has some booming production on some tracks and horrible on others. Hi Tek did 4 songs, Meech Wells, Soopafly each did 2, and EZ Elpee, ALChemist, Fred Wreck, DJ Premier, DJ Slip, DJ Scratch, Quaze, Vinnie Bernard, Michael Angelo, Nottz, Ep all do 1 song. it does have the nice voice of Latoiya Williams (I'm not and R&B fan and I don't think she fits in on this album at all) and it has a little too much of Kokane's whiney-voiced hooks. Features newcomer E-White who has mediocre ability and old-timer raspy/harsh voiced RBX, as well as Snoop Dogg himself. It has 8 songs I skip, 8 are ok, and the other 3 are good. Not highly recommended by me.

LaToiya Williams is the new Queen of Soul

"OK, I have to admit first that I haven't heard all of this album yet. But I have heard the LaToiya Williams-tracks. She is amazing; Aretha Franklin, Belita Woods and Chaka Khan rolled into one and then some. Mary J Blige or Angie Stone are not even in the same league as Latoiya Williams. Don't mistake this for old skool 70s retro. Fallen Star is a very sophisticated production that expands the g-funk style. Moving from the negativity of the gangsta-era to these positive vibes Snoop proves himself to be a bigger man than the likes of Suge Knight. Latoiya Williams' voice is full of love. This is what we need now."

One of the Slept on Albums of 2002

"I had my doubts on this one. I went ahead and purchased and liked it. Snoop gives a of producers- Buckwild, Hi-Tek, & Soopafly. All the beats are coo and everyone comes off nice. My favorite tracks are "Dogg House America", "Not Like It Was", "Doh Doh", "Are You Ready", "Light That S-- Up", and a few others. This is a must add to your cd collection."
