Free Music Notes for Tha Doggfather

Free Music Review: The realest side of Snoop, underrated as hell by most people
Hit: 5 Stars

A lot of people underrate this album as Snoop's weakest, or even Death Row's weakest album. F ***'em. This album was the last realest Snoop, the Dogg before releasing pop hits like "Beautiful". Just hear me out here, and I'll tell you the truth about this album.

Snoop turns from BG to OG in this album. As much as Snoop would argue against it, he was Dr. Dre's little homey in the Chronic and a little bit even in Doggystyle. This is the effort where Snoop for good or bad breaks with Dre. When you first hear this album it is utterly unremarkable. It's a disappointment. However, it's one of those albums that gets better and better with each time you pop it in.

The CD is a straight through listen. Pop it in and put the remote down. From the innovative opening to the gangsta party, it's hot. There aren't any signature tracks on here, like Bone Thugs-N-Harmony's Art of War. What the album does have is a pack of great rap songs! There are no bad songs on this. While I like some better than others, there are no ridiculous tracks.

Tha Doggfather is an album not to be discussed as a track by track effort but as one great experience. Snoop fills out his identity here. What he becomes is one smooth rapper. The songs are slick, not lacking humor, and strong. Snoop "takes his time when he's dropping his rhymes" and he is at his absolute pinnacle of rapping. Since this masterpiece, he has somehow forgotten how to rap like his real self. This album is the purest Snoop Doggy Dogg album.

The homies are included, but it doesn't cloud the tracks. The album plays out with some of the best skits mixed with great music that have ever been assembled. It's just a smooth ride through the Doggyland. There are virtually no low points, but a few high points.

That's probably the beef I have with Doggfather. The reason that no songs stand out to me is because Snoop on this album is very vanilla and smooth.

He says a lot of nothing on here. It's just vintage Snoop. Snoop just rocks the party, talks a lot about his murder trial and court, and makes G's.

Much love to Snoop on this effort. It's a really good record, underrated by pop fans like Ja Rule or Chingy's fans. It's no Doggystyle, but what is? This is the most complete Snoop album you can buy outside of the legendary Doggystyle. It's mature, but not as stupid as the new Snoop seems to be. The album has such a funky sound and feel to it. There are absolutely no album that sounds like it. If you consider yourself a true rap fan who realizes exactly what Ja Rule is trying to be like, you should pick Tha Doggfather up.
