"It's 1999, my nigga," Snoop Dogg asserts on this posse album, which inaugurates his new Dogg House label. The problem isn't so much that its release comes in early 2000, but that the CD sounds like it was cryogenically frozen in late '93 and recently thawed. From its P-Funk samples to the overall Doggystyle vibe, Tha Eastsidaz owes nearly everything to the classic Death Row days; lyrically, Snoop and crew are likewise stuck in crime-'n'-bitches mode, but with little of the phrase-making skills of his best work. Serviceable at best, this disc sounds even lamer coming after the attitudinal advances of Dr. Dre 2001. Now there's a record maker who knows what time it is. --Rickey Wright

4.0 out of 5 stars The return of the G!, August 26, 2000

By	Philip Y. (Israel) - See all my reviews

Doggystyle is a classic, period. Snoop Doggy Dogg will probably never come out with such an album. Yet this album is his best work since he worked with tha Dogg Pound and 2Pac in 95/96. Snoop Dogg is the old G we all loved. He stopped rapping about his rolexes and 50 thousand dollar shoes... He stopped wearing those wack Armani suits and returned to be a hustla from the streets. The topics of his songs are like back then. All this is great. Snoop's rapping style and voice isn't the same as back then, but at least the lyrical content is very close. But the ones who really shine on the album are the other 2 Eastsidaz - Tray Dee and Goldie Loc. Both are VERY talented rappers with much heat in their rapping which is something Snoop really misses. The album is a long one, and out of 18 tracks maybe 4 or 5 aren't good. The rest is either good or AWESOME. Some of the track really make you say Daamn!! A lot of guest rappers on the album, and most of them are great and add a lot to the songs. The most remarkable appearences by Kurupt, Xzibit, Sylk E. Fyne, Suga Free, CPO and few others. I think it's a great album cause Snoop finally brings the good old gangsta s**t we all love. With albums like Tha Doggfather and his No Limit albums it seemed like he's not that much into it. But this album proves that Snoop Dogg decided to return to do what he knows best. Gangsta rap from the ghetto. There is one song on the album - the best one - which is a Snoop Dogg solo track. On this song - believe it or not - he sounds just like back then. The song "Balls of Steel" sounds exactly like it's tooken from "Doggystyle" - the music, the lyrics and even Snoop's style of rapping!! Daamn, what a song. An incredible beat by Battlecat.

A great album, with tight West Coast rap. Snoop and all his partners all drop great verses and when the beats are phat (which is on most songs) , it's just bangin'!!

5.0 out of 5 stars I dont know what is WRONG WITH THE REST OF YOU, March 10, 2000

By	Rod (Scottsdale, Arizona United States) - See all my reviews

This is one of the best albums I have ever heard. Now, the way that Amazon.com reviewed it makes me sick. IF YOU HATE WEST COAST, YOU WILL PROBABLY HATE THIS ALBUM AS WELL. But, if you have an open mind about rap, you like this album. The beats are great, the lyrics are excellent (and sometimes hilarious), what made this album bad? Probably because when you bought this album, you expected the same stuff as Snoop Dogg always does. Snoop Dogg is doing something new, much like Tommy Lee in the Methods of Mayhem band. Snoop Dogg does not stay the same, he is always changing it. If you remotely like Snoop Dogg, I WOULD BUY THIS ALBUM.
