"Doggystyle is a classic, period. Snoop Doggy Dogg will probably never come out with such an album. Yet this album is his best work since he worked with tha Dogg Pound and 2Pac in 95/96. Snoop Dogg is the old G we all loved. He stopped rapping about his rolexes and 50 thousand dollar shoes... He stopped wearing those wack Armani suits and returned to be a hustla from the streets. The topics of his songs are like back then. All this is great. Snoop's rapping style and voice isn't the same as back then, but at least the lyrical content is very close. But the ones who really shine on the album are the other 2 Eastsidaz - Tray Dee and Goldie Loc. Both are VERY talented rappers with much heat in their rapping which is something Snoop really misses. The album is a long one, and out of 18 tracks maybe 4 or 5 aren't good. The rest is either good or AWESOME. Some of the track really make you say Daamn!! A lot of guest rappers on the album, and most of them are great and add a lot to the songs. The most remarkable appearences by Kurupt, Xzibit, Sylk E. Fyne, Suga Free, CPO and few others. I think it's a great album cause Snoop finally brings the good old gangsta s**t we all love. With albums like Tha Doggfather and his No Limit albums it seemed like he's not that much into it. But this album proves that Snoop Dogg decided to return to do what he knows best. Gangsta rap from the ghetto. There is one song on the album - the best one - which is a Snoop Dogg solo track. On this song - believe it or not - he sounds just like back then. The song "Balls of Steel" sounds exactly like it's tooken from "Doggystyle" - the music, the lyrics and even Snoop's style of rapping!! Daamn, what a song. An incredible beat by Battlecat.A great album, with tight West Coast rap. Snoop and all his partners all drop great verses and when the beats are phat (which is on most songs) , it's just bangin'!!"

TIGHT!
