Free Music Notes for The Hard Way

Free Music Review: Not as good as i expected, but still good
Hit: 4 Stars

This is a good album because it has some of the elite rappers in the game today. When this trio gets together for a single or a cd like this, u know its gonna be hot. Some of my favorite joints on this cd are 213 Tha Gangsta Clicc because Nate Dogg goes beyond just singing into a rap style that is off the hook, Joysticc is a great sexual song (gotta have some of those on there), and So Fly is a great single that was released about 10 months before the cd was even released. Groupie Luv is also a single with a music video which is an ok song. Overall, I give this album 3 1/2 bricketts.

The Hard Way Poster

Childhood friends Snoop Dogg, Warren G and Nate Dogg started out as a local Long Beach rap group called 213. Their individual careers skyrocketed before they could release an album, and the guys went on to collectively sell more than 50 million albums as solo artists.

This is their historical reunion album - "The Hard Way"


Warren G, Nate Dogg, and Snoop Dogg bring their old 213 crew back together in time for summer picnics and park jams. Though Warren G appears throughout, it's mostly a Dogg's day as Snoop and Nate give the album its gangsta-lean feel. The vibe is strictly laid back--the group pens odes to liquor, women, and weed, including a remake of Rick James's "Mary Jane" (released just before the singer's passing). For the most part however, 213 has their minds on sex more than smoking out, with playful cuts like "Groupie Luv" balancing the profane shock of "My Dirty Ho." Musically, they lay down classic G-Funk with that signature squeegee sound--just the right groove for street cruising and backyard partying, especially the sweet soul of "Another Summer" and the catchy funk of "Lil Girl." The Hard Way isn't quite as strong as you'd expect from such a marquee trio, but if you're looking for a collection of pleasant made-for-summer tunes, 213 is the area code to dial. --Oliver Wang
