Editorial Reviews

Chuck D of Public Enemy once prophesized that if artists didn't own their masters (tapes), the masters will own the artists. Well, hip-hop's fave gangster CEO Suge Knight owns most of his former high-profile label mates' master tapes and continues to issue collections of dated works by Tha Dogg Pound, Dr. Dre, and now Snoop. Originally entitled Dead Man Walking to scare the willies out of Snoop, this release comes with a big fat greasy caveat emptor. Sure, this is a ghetto fab collection of the Doggfather's finest pre-No Limit and Doggystyle Records moments dating back to his brilliant cover of Biz Markie's "Vapors" on Tha Doggfather album. That said, Snoop wants nothing to do with this release because he won't receive any proceeds from it and has urged his fans not to buy it. Contractual shenanigans aside, this release is off the hook and contains most of Snoop's finest career headbangers, from "Gin and Juice" to "Who Am I (What's My Name)." A great purchase if you can live with your conscience. --Dalton Higgins

5.0 out of 5 stars A lot of old classic previously relased material, October 25, 2004

By	G$ "Z-Wad" (B-More, MD) - See all my reviews

This is just an attempt for Suge & Death Row to keep eating off Snoop since he left and their label fell apart. However this cd is tight (it has 6 or 7 previously unreleased songs and the rest are mostly from "Doggystyle" w/ 2 from " Tha Doggfater" and one from "The Chronic"). The unreleased songs are pretty good quality and if you like Snoop they're good ones to have, but I'd download them from online (and not support Death Row's "eat off Snoop 6 years later" effort) since you probably have most of the CD already if you are a fan.

#1 - 10 (classic from "The Chronic" f/ Dr. Dre)
#2 - 9.5 (off "Dead Man Walkin" CD f/ Swoop G)
#3 - 10 (classic fom "Doggystyle")
#4 - 9 (f/ Nate Dogg - unreleased song)
#5 - 9 (from "Doggystyle")
#6 - 10 (classic from "Doggystyle f/ Kurupt, Nate Dogg & Warren G)
#7 - 6.5 (remix of "Tha Doggfather")
#8 - 9.5 (laid back track f/ Daz Dillinger & Raphael Saadiq - unreleased)
#9 - 8.5 (f/ Tray Deee & Daz Dillinger - unreleased)
#10 - 10 (classic from "Doggystyle")
#11 - 9.5 (f/ Kurupt & Daz Dillinger (Dogg Pound)and the Dramatics - from "Doggystyle")
#12 - 9 (f/ Daz Dillinger & The Twinz - talkin bout high school days - unreleased)
#13 - 8.5 (from "Tha Doggfather"
#14 - 7.5 (f/ Threat - unreleased)
#15 - 8.5 (f/ Mack 10, Threat, Kurupt, Bad Azz, Techniec - unreleased)

3.0 out of 5 stars Okay. (My Name is O.I) , October 19, 2004

A Kid's Review

It was alright. Two of the unreleased songs were actually worth something. But it wasn't really needed. Mostly all of these tracks you an get on Death Row's Greatest hits! If you are thinking about getting this, or if you want to start listening to Snoop Music, get his earlier albums

4.0 out of 5 stars A Strange Death Row Release, June 23, 2004

By A Customer

Do not be fooled when you read the title of this cd. It may say: Snoop Doggy Dogg's Greatest Hits, but it also says "Death Row's" Snoop Doggy Dogg's Greatest hits. Snoop was only with Death Row long enough to make two records, Doggystyle, and Tha Doggfather. Back then, Snoop Dogg had more talent and was still called Snoop Doggy Dogg. This album did not need to be released. All of the good songs on this album are from Snoop's debut-Doggystyle. Death Row also put on a song from Dr. Dre's "The Chronic", "Nuthin' But a 'G' Thang". Another strange thing about this record is that more than half the songs are unreleased. There is only one song from Tha Doggfather. Nonetheless, all of the songs from "Doggystyle", make this a good cd. Pick up "Doggystyle" instead.
