Death Row: Snoop Doggy Dogg at His Best [Unreleased] [Explicit Lyrics]

Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
Chuck D of Public Enemy once prophesized that if artists didn't own their masters (tapes), the masters will own the artists. Well, hip-hop's fave gangster CEO Suge Knight owns most of his former high-profile label mates' master tapes and continues to issue collections of dated works by Tha Dogg Pound, Dr. Dre, and now Snoop. Originally entitled Dead Man Walking to scare the willies out of Snoop, this release comes with a big fat greasy caveat emptor. Sure, this is a ghetto fab collection of the Doggfather's finest pre-No Limit and Doggystyle Records moments dating back to his brilliant cover of Biz Markie's "Vapors" on Tha Doggfather album. That said, Snoop wants nothing to do with this release because he won't receive any proceeds from it and has urged his fans not to buy it. Contractual shenanigans aside, this release is off the hook and contains most of Snoop's finest career headbangers, from "Gin and Juice" to "Who Am I (What's My Name)." A great purchase if you can live with your conscience. --Dalton Higgins

Not That Great.......2006-05-30

Now this is by far the worst greatest hits I've ever seen. First off Suge Knight is stealing money off Snoop by realeasing stuff like this. Most of the unreleased songs shouldn't have seen the light of day, well I like Eastside Party and Midnight Love but the rest are totally wack. It also is missing some of the hits like Snoop's Upside Ya Head, Dre Day, 2 Of Amerikaz Most Wanted, Wanted Dead Or Alive, Tha Doggfather and Lil Ghetto Boy. I suppose Suge is planning to come back with a volume 2 greatest hits with a whole lot more crappy unreleased tracks. They could have beefed up Dead Man Walkin but Suge is gonna get as much money off Snoop as he can. It does have really good classics but this is not Greatest Hits seeing half of them are unreleased and some classics are omitted.

Anyway my ratings for the songs are
1. Nuthin But A G Thang 10/10 Classic with Dr Dre, great beats
2. Head Doctor 9/10 One of the best tracks from Dead Man Walkin
3. Gin And Juice 10/10 Classic, my favourite famous song from Doggystyle
4. Eastside Party 10/10 Snoop in all verses and Nate Dogg in the chorus, this was worth releasing
5. Murder Was The Case Remix 10/10 I'm not sure which I like better, this or the original version. Their both great
6. Ain't No Fun (If The Homies Can't Have None) 9.5/10 Even though some of the lyrics are a bit purverted its still great with bangin beats
7. Doggfather Remix 6/10 Don't like this, it has no business being on here and Tha Doggfather original version should be on here instead
8. Midnight Love 10/10 Another unreleased that was definitely worth releasing. My favourite unreleased track with Eastside Party being my second
9. Eastside 6/10 I don't think that this song was meant to ever be released
10. Who Am I? (What's My Name?) 10/10 Classic, my second favourite famous song from Doggystyle
11. Doggy Dogg World 10/10 My third favourite famous song from Doggystyle, the beats are good and relaxing
12. Too High (Poly High) 7/10 Another song that shouldn't have seen the light of day
13. Vapors 10/10 Bangin beats, solo where Snoop talks about the lives of all the members of Tha Dogg Pound
14. Usual Suspects 8/10 This songs alright, but its still not top quality
15. Keep It Real 1/10 Hate this song, definitely shouldn't have been released. Snoop doesn't even have one verse on this
16. Snoop Bounce Roc N Roll Remix 5/10 This song is wack! Where's Snoop Bounce original version.

hold up this aint fair........2006-05-09

na na this aint right suge is just taiking money from snoop though i did want to here the unreleased tracks so do what i did and download it but dont actually buy it cuzz then you'll just be givin money to suge which should go to snoop.

Half and half.......2006-03-06

Includes 16 songs of which I liked 8: These are "Nuthin' but a 'G' thang", "Head doctor", "Gin and juice", "Eastside party", "Ain't no fun", "Midnight love", "Who I am" and "Doggy dogg world" These are. I don't care about the rest, because Snoop isn't my favorite rapper. Anyways he's a gifted man and I think he could do better things.

Pretty Good.......2006-01-28

This album was released by former Death Row Records CEO Suge Knight without the consent of Snoop Dogg himself. It contains all the hit singles from Snoop's 2 Death Row albums: "Doggystyle" and "The Doggfather". Included are the G-funk era classics like "Nuthing But A G Thang" (originally from Dr. Dre's "The Chronic"), "Murder Was The Case (Remix)", "Ain't No Fun" and of course, "Gin & Juice", "Doggy Dogg World" and "Who Am I (What's My Name)". In order to fill out the album, many previously unreleased vault recordings are also included. The best of these are Timbaland's remix of "Doggfather", the slinky late-night romp "Midnight Love" and the summer anthem "Too High (Poly High)". Some of the other vault recordings sound dated, and pale in comparison to the classics, making the album sound rather inconsistent in quality. Nonetheless, if you are looking for all of Snoop's Death Row era hits on one disc, this is probably the best sampler for you. Overall, this is a pretty good "Best Of" from Snoop, considering he has switched labels several times, and it is near impossible to get a comprehensive compilation of his music anywhere. RECOMMENDED for Snoop's casual fans, as well as hardcore fans who want to get their hands on a few good remixes.

good album But could have been better.......2005-01-05

This is a really good album but for a greatist hits It's a little bit disapointing especialy considering that it's made by Snoop Dogg who is a West Coast legend. Although this album isn't as good as it should be it still has some classic songs like "murder was the case", "It aint no fun", "Gin and Juice", "Who am i(whats my name)" and of course "nuthin but a G thang". But Unfortunately most of the other songs on the album dont live up to those songs I just mentioned. The main reason why this album isn't as good as it should be is because That death row records only had 2 albums by Snoop to use to create his greatist hits. This album is worth gettin but your probably better of just buying "Tha Dogg"

Snoop shines here.......2003-02-02

I gotta tell the truth Snoop Dogg Sounds Great on these Tracks.this Set Best Showcases His Depth,Talent&Range.Sad to say nothing He released after He left "Death Row" Records matches what He did back in the day.His Flow&Vibe was off the Screen.the Guy had a Voice that just was meant for SuperStardom.I Don't like Suge Knight's business tactics but He truly has the Best that Snoop Dogg has to offer.
