Interesting Sophomore Album.......2007-05-06

In late 1996 Snoop finally releases his 2nd album, Tha Doggfather, after beating a murder rap. Unfortunately, this album was slept on compared to 1993's Doggystyle. You hear much more about Doggystyle than this. Now, this one does not touch Doggystyle, but you need to give it a chance. Some of the album will have to grow on you as it did on me, but it does have some classic joints. Daz, DJ Pooh, LT Hutton, Soopafly, Arkim and Flair, Mark Freeman, Dave Aron, and Sam Sneed all create some interesting beats. My favorite is "Up Jump Tha Boogie" where Snoop gets it crunk over a bouncy DJ Pooh lowrider beat and a talk box. Pooh's beat on "Snoop Bounce" uses a Zapp sample and is perfect for the house party. There is some good old G-Funk on tracks like "2001" and the funny and raunchy "Groupie" with Warren G, Dogg Pound, Nate Dogg, and Gap Band's Charlie Wilson. The beat is melodic and laidback courtesy of Daz. The song reminds me of a part 2 of "Ain't No Fun (If The Homies Can't Have None)." "Tha Doggfather" has more of a mainstream appeal but is hot with a bouncy party beat and Charlie Wilson singing the hook. There are some odd selections here though. The beat is out of place and wack on "(O.J.) Wake Up;" it samples a Run DMC beat, but it does not feel right here though; I just cannot get into it. "Gold Rush" has a weird beat, sort of like a Wild West theme, but it is likeable however after a few listens. "Doggyland" is hot. It has a nice, twangy G-Funk beat and is upbeat, definitely one of Snoop's best songs perfectly laidback and fits his lyrical style perfectly. "You Thought" is a Soopafly banger, with Soopafly, Snoop and Too Short trading pimped out verses over a Zoot Suit Riot old-school style beat. Definitely an album worth checking out. Give it a chance.

Must have.......2007-03-22

This is like a funkier version of Doggystyle. On this album Snoop showed that he could make a dope record without Dre too. There's not a bad track on it.

The magic is gone............................2007-02-06

The phenom Snoop that killed verses on The Chronic, Doggystyle and Dogg Food is no where to be found on here. The whole vibe is gone. Without Dre by his side, Snoop was half a MC. It would be years before Snoop showed any resemblance to his old self.

No Doctor And It's Still All Good {4 Stars}.......2007-01-27

Expectations from fans and the general public can be a deadly thing to a rappers career. With his second release, a lot of people expected the second coming of Doggstyle. But that was an unfair expectation -- I mean, with Dr. Dre (the producer of his classic debut) being gone from Death Row and all. The production is done by committee on this album by DJ Pooh (pictured in the album credits), Soopafly, and Daz. Arkim & Flair, L.T., Sam Sneed, and Snoop himself all contribute a track. So, naturally, the sound on this album is different from his debut. It's not an easy job to fill the good doctor's shoes, but I'd have to say that Pooh, Soopafly, and Daz do an admirable job handling this album. The sound still reeks of Cali funk while Snoop rhymed on beat (something he almost never does nowadays).

With that being said, there is very little skip material on this joint. "Snoop Bounce" and "(Tear 'em Off) Me & My Doggz" suffer from drowsy production. The skits could've been left off too. Some were good, some were corny. Aside from those hiccups, the album is pretty good.

Tha Doggfather is good follow up to Doggystyle. It doesn't have many weak spots and the production bangs nonstop. For those of you that just got into Snoop within the last two or three years, you should grab this if you want to know what Snoop sounded like when he was still putting some effort into his releases. This is probably Snoop's second best album. Anyone that tells you this album is disappointing is sorely mistaken. I recommend adding this album to your collection.

Too Short & Soopafly, Freestyle Conversation, Downtown Assassins feat. Daz & Tray Dee, Snoop's Upside Ya Head, Up Jump The Boogie feat. Charlie Wilson & Teena Marie, and Groupie feat. Tha Dogg Pound, Nate Dogg, Warren G., & Charlie Wilson (My Favorite)

Snoop Dogg's Best Album.......2006-10-21

His first album Doggystyle, stank. It was so purverted and violent that it seemed like the sort of thing that could make any red blooded person want to vomit. But with his second album he changed his ways and did a really good job. It shows that he was tired of mindless gangbanging street lyrics and wanted to come back as a more matured person. He was able to tell stories about his life in the ghetto in a a lot more matured way which was great. I love nearly all the tracks, well I really mean all the real tracks and I don't like the skits. But probably my favourites are Doggfather, Downtown Assassins, Gold Rush, Snoop's Upside Ya Head, Vapors and Blueberry. Might I also add the production was great too, the beats were superb. If you liked this than I would also recommend from Snoop Dogg Tha Last Meal and Paid tha Cost To Be Da Boss. Stay away from Doggystyle because it truly is horrible.

Good single!.......2003-10-25

It's the first single from Tha Doggfather the 2nd album of Snoop Dogg. This song is good but not perfect as the Doggystyle's songs. I recommend this to the auditors of westcoast/g-funk/death row golden age.

Classic...........2001-06-28

This CD is hot!! It is Snoop's sophomore album. Rappers' second albums tend to be worse than their first, but this is a huge exception! I bought Tha Doggfather a couple years ago and it has been my favourite album since. As soon as I saw the remastered copy I had to get that too. The beats are just as bangin' as Doggystyle, and the lyrics are better. This is a very under-rated CD and will be a great addition to any rap/hip-hop fan's collection! Cop this CD now!!!
