Electronic music just does nothing for me when I'm sitting at my desk working. This also sounds very dated to me.

It’s not as dated sounding as the Chemical Brothers album is. Was great for running errands to and the toddler was dancing, so it’s a win for me.

I don’t think I’ve listened to this before, except for ”Going Out of My Head”. It is a bit more laid back than ”You’ve Come A Long Way Baby” (which I’ve listened to a lot through the years). I enjoyed it, but probably won’t seek it out again.

It says its a Jimmy Smith album but I’m fairly certain this belongs to Turrentine.

Having not read the book, not sure how many other jazz titles are included, but this seems to be swerving madly out of the lane.

There is some jazz here and there.

It's rife with problematic content, but it's also loaded front to back with straight bangers! This is the absolute pinnacle of West Coast g-funk/gangsta rap, and the best thing Dr. Dre, Snoop and Death Row Records ever put out. The Chronic was great but Doggystyle was, and still is, absolutely unfuckwitable.

I know this album is misogynistic as fuck but I love it warts and all. Snoop and Co. bring it for the entire album and Dre had perfected his beats. In my opinion it’s the best G-Funk album of all-time and on of the best 90s hip hop albums of all time.

When my friends and I started doing our secret santa style record club every month, this was the first record my buddy got me and his reasoning was spot on -- he told me he got it because he could see it being something I wouldn't seek out for myself in this day and age, but I'd be stoked to have it because it IS a classic, and he was absolutely correct. Whenever I put it on it's cranked and I rock hard with it.

A landmark of 90s hip hop. Others have mentioned the problematic content.
He has never even come close to this echelon since.
Rating: 5/5 [Masterpiece]

I can only repeat what y'all already said. If you can sit still to "Who Am I" or "Tha Shiznit", then you're probably a robot. And yes the content is problematic, but I still can't help to crack a smile at the inventive and dirty dog metaphors in "G Funk Intro" ("Get your pooper scooper cause the n***'s talkin shit Aroof!")

One of the best gangsta rap albums (and better than The Chronic too, while we're at it). 5/5.
favs: Murder Was the Case, Gin and Juice, Tha Shiznit, G-Funk Intro, Ain't No Fun (If the Homies Can't Have None), Serial Killa, Who Am I (What's My Name)?
least fav: For All My [Homiez] & Bitches

There were certainly refreshing glimpses of this greatness on No Limit Top Dogg, but the album as a whole, while being much better than the two albums that preceded it, was too inconsistent to reach the glory.
I think Tha Doggfather was a far better album than most of the world ever gives it credit for (the majority were just too thirsty for a Doggystyle 2) – except it was a bit too bloated and overlong. Even trimmed down it wouldn't hit the glory of his debut but I think, despite a wholly different sense of sound and style, it'd be the closest he came (I'd say what was released is a 3.75, but there's absolutely a 4.5 in there with a few more cuts to the tracklist.)

I don’t know that I agree this is better than The Chronic. That’s an all time rap album for me. You all know I’m conflicted about this one. The misogyny is blech. Snoop’s flow is impeccable and Dre’s beats are great as always. I found this hard to listen to even then and I didn’t keep the cd very long. It was fun to get high to though.

My mom purchased this CD for me when I was 12 years old. She didn’t even bat and eye.
