I had a friend who played this non-stop in high school, so I think my enjoyment of this album comes at least as much from nostalgia as the music itself. The posturing of this album is pretty funny in light of how Snoop's image as a pop icon has changed in the intervening decades. But the production is super great, like everything that Dr. Dre was putting his hands on in this era, even if the lyrics are just absolutely dripping with misogyny.
A classic held back by too many skits. While I love rap, I seldom choose to listen to most rap albums in full over, say, metal due to all the damn skits. Also, misogyny, but what else should you expect from the G-funk era? Still, Snoop never sounded better. He already stole The Chronic, and he goes all out here. Close to a masterpiece, but not quite. B
