the other people on here really do NOT know what they are talking about. This is called best of Snoop Dogg but in reality it is actually a SECOND "greatest hits" compilation by him. The first "Snoop Doggy Dogg's Greatest Hits" covers all of the tracks that the other people are complaining about because they arent on here. The reason is because the other collection is for all the albums he released under the name "Snoop Doggy Dogg" such as Doggystyle, Tha Last Meal etc. This one however covers MUCH more of a timespan. It covers a total of 5 albums (no R&G songs) and they are all with the simple name of Snoop Dogg. If his old classics were also put on here it would pretty much make it pointless for the old collection to even exist.

So for the era that this cd covers... it does a damn good job. It sure picks the best songs off Top Dogg, Paid Tha Cost To Be Da Boss & the NWA Legacy 2. It even provides good songs off of Tha Game Is To Be Sold Not To Be Told in which every song is amazing. I would suggest if you want an overview of all of Snoop's work prior to R&G then you should buy BOTH of his greatest hits albums...

This medley of Snoop's songs are definitely not his best work, but they are still good songs anyway. This are some of the songs he did while trying to be released from Death Row and the grasp of Suge Knight. If you like Snoop and his music then you will enjoy this album. Actually, their are a couple of songs that should have been dropped from the album because they tried to censor the song and screwed the song up. I'm going to write those songs down and buy them from iTunes in order to replace them.

Obviously we have a bunch of idiot reviewers here. People who give this one star and claim that stuff from Doggystyle isn't on here must not know what the hell is going on. There is a Snoop Doggy Dogg's Deathrow's Greatest Hits CD that has stuff from Snoop made from 1993-1997. This is what Snoop made from 1998-2003. Did you even think for a second that Suge Knight was going to give Snoop the rights to his older material? There are many gems on here include one of his best songs "B Please" which is my favorite song from him post Death Row.

I don't give it a perfect rating because some of his hit song were lack luster. This is a perfect overview of what Snoop made since he left Death Row Records. Don't listen to these one and two star reviewers. People claim to be Snoop Dogg fans, but are obviously not knowing the situation at hand with this album.

Where are all the Classic Snoop tracks from the Chronic & Doggystyle?? This is definitely unworthy of being called "Snoop's Best"....Go pick up "The Chronic" & "Doggystyle" if u want the real deal. Forget this record!

Bottom line: There is no such thing as a Best of Snoop Dogg CD when tracks like Gin & Juice, Murder Was the Case, and Who Am I? (to name only a few) are OMITTED. The previous two reviews for this so-called greatest hits CD are on-point; try to imagine a Nas greatest hits CD without any Illmatic tracks. Try to imagine there being a Wu-Tang Clan greatest hits CD without any tracks from Enter The Wu-Tang: 36 Chambers. Now, try and explain why there IS actually a Best of Snoop Dogg CD with no tracks from Doggystyle, or even Tha Doggfather.

Sure, there are some decent tracks here, but not including any tracks from the Death Row era is inexcusable. This compilation is an insult to Snoop's oldest fans and should never have seen the light of day.
