Although he still sips gin & juice, Snoop Doggy Dogg shows a more conservative style in his lyrics on this follow-up to the popular and controversial DOGGYSTYLE. He has a lot more positivity to express, and a lot less to say about G's and ho's. Otherwise it's the same ol' Snoop, representing the same G-funk that made him the West Coast's most popular rapper, even though his original producer, Dr. Dre, is nowhere to be seen. Once again, he pays tribute to old-school hip-hop, this time with a remake of Biz Markie's "Vapors."
THA DOGGFATHER comes at a time when it is most needed. After Tupac Shakur's death and Dr. Dre's departure from Death Row Records, hip-hop's most successful label has been left with one man to carry on its legacy, and that man is THA DOGGFATHER. With one of the most distinct flows in rap, he returns to the forefront of hip-hop to quiet all the rumors that Death Row is a falling empire.
Professional Reviews
Entertainment Weekly (11/29/96, p.90) - "...Even without Dr. Dre behind the board, Snoop and his studio team concoct an intoxicating blend of old-school funk and gangsta cool..." - Rating: B+
Muzik (1/97, p.118) - 3 out of 5 - "...a more angular, spiky, old school-influenced vehicle for the Dogg Father to strut his matter-of-fact rhymes over....you [are taken in] by the strength of the rhyming..."

I picked up this album when I went on my hip-hop buying spree (which included several Run-DMC albums, a Yin-Yang Twins album and a 2Pac album) and im pretty impressed. Allthough this album does have a few bad songs and Snoops voice gets annoting fast. It isn't a bad album, but then again it isn't a good one. 3/5

This is really a 4.5 star album, but there are about 4 bad songs, and they are really bad. This was Snoop Doggy Dogg's (Snoop Dogg) second album, . It seems that after this album, Snoop was never tha same. It was probably because he left Death Row. This album has some classic WestCoast beats on it. It features a bunch of different people including his homies Daz Dillinger and Kurupt. This is truely a great album, but it would have been so much better if Street Life with 2Pac & Prince Ital Joe hadn't have been cut.
