Music reviews of Tha Doggfather

Music Review: Good album, but still disappointed many.
Rating: 4 Stars

Snoop was really jumped on by many G-Funk fans after this 1996 release. While it might not have been on the level of The Chronic, Doggystyle or Kurupt and Daz's Dogg Food, it's still a good album and doesn't deserve to be trashed. The main change of the album is that Snoop's voice is a little bit lower which makes his style a bit different. You can't really help that your voice changes over time (although some may say Snoop's voice lowered because of marijuana use). The beats aren't done by Dr. Dre because he had left Death Row by now, although Soopafly, Daz and DJ Pooh do a very nice job of making up for his absence. Snoop is a much more mature person on this release, he isn't the same guy who laughed in the face of death and wore an afro like the Snoop of 1992-1996. However, he still manages to make something that balances gangsta rap very well. The beats are actually pretty good, a bit different than Dre's but they mesh pretty well with Snoop's style. Snoop had also just been declared innocent over his murder trial when his bodyguard was forced to kill a man who was coming at them with a gun and bad intentions.

The intro actually takes on the accusations Snoop was given when he was on trial and moves into the Italian-influenced title track which was produced by Daz. Snoop raps in a laid-back feel and has a Mafioso persona. "Up Jump Tha Boogie" features Kurupt and blue-eyed soul singer Teena Marie for a nice, bouncy G-Funk track courtesy of DJ Pooh. Snoop and Kurupt both spit nicely here. "Freestyle Conversation" is kind of a weak track where Snoop takes a shot at Dr. Dre and spits about people accusing him. He whispers which doesn't work for him because his flow is soft enough when he speaks. "Snoop Bounce" has a Zapp influence and is a decent slice of funk, vocoder and all. Snoop sounds a little bit out of it on this song though. "Gold Rush" has the cowboy theme to it similar to The Juice Crew's "Symphony". Kurupt joins Snoop along with the LBC Crew and the track is actually very satisfying and nicely put together. "Me And My Doggz" is a decent, bouncy little track with a lazy feel, nothing particularly special about it. Snoop talks about which dogs he gave to his homies. "You Thought" is very tight, a pimpalistic track featuring Soopafly and Too Short where everyone gets a piece. The three mesh together perfectly and this song works very well. Snoop did a remake of "Vapors" by Biz Markie in contrast to his remake of Slick Rick's "Lodi Dodi" on Doggystyle. This remake is really good, and he gives shouts to Nate Dogg and Warren G in his verses. "Groupie" is a quintessential sex track from the DPG, featuring Kurupt, Warren G, Nate, Daz and Charlie Wilson. The track is very smooth and everyone spits good game. "2001" is a bouncy track that Kurupt and Bad Azz helped write but the track isn't that great. It's just an average song. "Six Minutes" has an original feel and speaks on Snoop biters but the track doesn't really go anywhere and in the end is nothing special at all. "O.J. (Wake Up)" is a pretty good track with an old school feel courtesy of a Run-DMC sample. Tray D really connects on this track, and Snoop also spits some good stuff. "Snoop's Upside Ya Head" is the album's first single and is an amazing track, really recalling the G-Funk era, and Snoop spits in the classic form we really have missed throughout this album. "Blueberry" is a classic Dogg Pound track where Kurupt truly shines and the LBC Crew connect along with Daz. Snoop doesn't even spit on this track but it recalls "For All My N****z And B****es" from Doggystyle. The beat is classic Death Row material. "Doggyland" is a slower track where Snoop raps in a lazy summer style. The track really doesn't go anywhere, although Snoop talks about suffering a little bit. "Downtown Assassins" features Daz and Kurupt for a Mafioso style song which is a good track and ends the album pretty nicely.

Overall this release is a good one. However I can understand that after Doggystyle, Murder Was The Case and The Chronic someone may be disappointed. There are just a few lazy tracks that stunt this album, although nothing about it is that bad. It is majorly over-criticized. If you're a fan of Snoop or G-Funk, check this one out.
