From Amazon.com
Snoop's second album for the No Limit label finds him in fine form--maybe the finest since Doggystyle. On Top Dogg, Snoop has taken control of his own album; in working with a number of producers (Dr. Dre, Ant Banks, Raphael Saadiq, DJ Quick, and the Beats by the Pound team), he takes the best each has to offer and forces them to play to his own strengths. Though there are a few gangsta tracks on Top Dogg ("My Heat Goes Boom," with its "boom boom boom" chorus, is one of the album's best), the strongest songs here are the ones on which Snoop gets creative. There are a pair of tributes to Slick Rick--"Snoopafella," a Cinderella story on which Snoop aces Rickey's flow, and "G Bedtime Stories," which opens with a little kid asking "Uncle Snoop Dogg" to read him a bedtime story--and a few tracks built around classic samples (of George Clinton's "Black Hole Theme," Earth, Wind & Fire's "Shining Star," and even Brick's "Dazz"). There may not be anything here as transcendent as "Gin and Juice," but that's a minor complaint; Top Dogg is Snoop's best album in years. --Randy Silver

CD Description
While Snoop's No Limit debut left many long-time fans cold,his sophomore effort at Master P's label sees the LBC representative returning to form with a gang of reliable West Coast beatmakers (Dr. Dre, DJ Quik, Jelly Roll) in tow. Released some two years after the East/West beef hit its apex, TOPPDOGG represents Snoop's induction as a mainstream hip-hop icon, as the Dre-produced "B Please" garnered heavy rotation in all areas, conquering New York radio-waves for the first time. Elsewhere, Snoop parlays his trademark laidback rhyme style between aggressive, gangstafied grandstanding ("Buck `Em", "My Heat Goes Boom", "Buss'n Rocks") and smoothed-out hood love songs ("In Love With a Thug", "Don't Tell), even turning sensitive with a closing cut dedicated to his mother ("I Love My Momma"). All in all, TOPP DOGG proves that, underthe right conditions, the G-Funk and No Limit eras are far from incompatible.

Customer Reviews

Snoop gone wack
First up, I can absolutely guarentee that what I say is the truth,I'm not gonna get excited about an album that does not deserve the 5 mics,so if u see a revue posted up by sylk that does have tha 5 stars,it will be a great album 4 TRUE hio hop fans.Right,Snoop, this album I bought cuz of b please,what can i say,its a great trak,however it is the ONLY GREAT trak on t'album,there are other good traks,but wit a artist of snoops stature I expected more.This album has too many filler traks and of course features the often wack production of Master P.Other noteable traks r Jus Dippin,Buck em,n (4 lyrical skill) my heat goes boom.This album is 1 that is a alrite addition 4 ur collection,but if hardcore underground style rap is what u like,u will b dissapointed with ur purchase.

Absolutely Brilliant
Fantastic album, fantastic price. Loads of rappers are on this album and songs such as Party with A DPG, Ghetto symphony,B please,Somethin' 'bout yo bidness are truly amazing and are well worth listening to. I can't express how good this album is. If you are a Snoop Dogg fan, please don't hesitate to buy it. If your not a Snoop Dogg fan then it could take some getting used to, but i'm sure you will enjoy this.
