WARREN G – RETURN OF THE REGULATOR
(http://gs.cdnow.com/graphics/COVERART/local/L/49/97/00454997.jpg)
Yo this’ll be a quick review since the shit isn’t even out.
1- Intro – a long ass one with warren speakin and some guy rappin
2- Lookin At You – GODDAMN! Dre put some serious effort in it and I mean it. This beat bangs and boasts with some extras that you don’t even expect. Warren is really hardcore with his rhymes. Woman chorus just adds to the perfection. 4,99
3- Here comes Another Hit – A stop-and-start beat with aggressive feel but still partying. Nate Dogg laces the hook, Mista Grimm outshines Warren tho he’s still phat too. Damn, Grimm got way more mature since DJ Pooh’s album. – 4,99
4- Somethin To Bounce To – I cant believe it! #rd track in a row with NO FLAWS! I feel like its 1994, when shit was fresh and perfect. This song is funkier than previous, really sweet beat, Warren kills me again, and then you get a special appearance by SOOPAFLY!!!!!!!! He talks some shit about 2x platinum, and with this typa beat that’s possible! – 4,99
5- This G Shit Is Too much – hell nah, its not too much, I love it and I still want more. Beat is lazier than before, Butch Cassidy sings well, but Id sing it in a different way. Warrens smooth silk vocals fit perfectly. – 4,5
6- Pump Up – a long skit
7- Young Locs Slow Down – This is a WC track, I mean that it has WC on it and the beat is just for him. Still Warren is a host here, the 2 MCs talk wise for young Gs.. 4,5
8- Speed Dreamin – I don’t know what this song is doing here. Leaves the same feeling as I Cant Swim did on Last Meal. What the fuck for? Mista Grimm tries to save it, but the beat is still very questionable. – 3,0
9- Yo Sassy Ways – WOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!! This song is right beside Never Leave Me Alone, Nobody does It Better and Gangsta Love. I swear Ima make a CDR with like 15 Sassy Ways on it, just to listen to it all day. Warren, Snoop and Nate – Id give half of my CD collection to get one fullength 213 album. I cried when I heard this song the 1st time- 4,99
10- Deez Nutz II – A funny skit. I laugh everytime I hear these words; Deez nuuuutz!
11- It Aint Nothing Wrong Wit U – A song for bitches. Grimm, CPO and some other guy guest here. All 4 MCs are surprisingly hungry like they didn’t fuck for a month. – 4,5
12- Ghetto Village – I don’t get what s all the buzz about this song. The melody dates back to some Pleasantville 50s. Warren talks VERY interesting about the past, but I tell ya I don’t really need no archaic beat for a song about good ol times. – 4,0
13- They Lovin Me Now – Here Warren rips all the haters to shreds. I waited for a song like this. Them nonbelievers will be at least surprised to hear Warren be almost as angry as back in 1994 on And Ya Don’t Stop. CPO’s fffffffat voice apeeals to me too. – 4,5
14- Streets Of LBC. - A dope song about hard times, struggle in life etc. Good and I mean good lyrics. The beat fits the song concept just perfectly. – 4,99
15- G Funk Is Here To Stay – This song is aaight, but I cant get what the fuck is Kokane doing here. When G Funk was rising, he was dissin it. This song is in NO WAY G funk, its Dogghouse Funk, just like Dogghouse Ridaz or Brake Fluid. Mista Grimm and Warren do good together. - 4,0
16- Keepin It Strong – A good tradition to end the album with a personal heartfelt song that begun on Last Meal continues here. Its very melodical (I still whistle it all thru) and Warren comes personal just like Snoop did on Yall Gon Miss Me, but instead of being like “Remember me, yall gon miss me” he stays relaxed and shiny, to ensure us he’s here to stay. – 4,5
I tell ya this motherfuckers. If the world turns upside down and Universal hooks Warren with proper promotion, this priceless CD will go multiplat in a month and will finally lead Grimm and Soopafly to the star status too. But it will never happen. So just support the best West Coast producer with your dollars and enjoy this masterpiece, cause it’s the G Childs best LP ever, and I aint bullshittin. – 9,5 / 10.
p.s. Where its 4,99, itll be 5,0 when the CD goes at least gold.
I just cant give classic status to a song that isnt out yet.
P.P.S. What the fuck does 'sassy' mean?
-
shit...iz it realy better than "g funk era" or "i want it all"?
p.s...ia evo snimaiu na irc, ne kak ne magu zakonchit...u menia est tolko intro track ii vtaroi track da seh por...shit..i cant wait to when it dropz...
-
Man, I dont write reviews when Im drunk. This is his best album and I mean it. Tracks #2,3,4,9,13,14,16 are pure ORGAZM!!!
-
- Speed Dreamin – I don’t know what this song is doing here. Leaves the same feeling as I Cant Swim did on Last Meal. What the fuck for? Mista Grimm tries to save it, but the beat is still very questionable. – 3,0

Speed Dreamin is sooo fucking tight. I give it 4.5 easily! I cant be the only one thats feeling that joint..
-
I've only heard tracks #2 and #3 and they fo' real... The Dre joint is just priceless. "Yo Sassy Ways", everyone says it's dope (including The Source) so it gotta be, but I haven't heard it... I'm yet to hear the rest of the album but I have a feelin' it's gonna be good. However, I ain't copin' it right now: I got a million records to cop 1st (Stillmatic, Infamy, Iron Flag, Genesis, Angie Stone, Music And Me, etc...). Then, I'll go back to Warren...
-
yeah this album is str8 heat....Yo sassy way is mad kicked back..it is tight as hell.....
"what the fuck is up ,u playin witta G, Warren to the L to the B to the C.,Regulate can't stop and be original,game dont wait for female individuals.,."

Even if you d give it a minus 1 for lyrics you GOTTA give it a 5 for beats. This is a West Coast classic, you gonna realise it in 4 or 5 years.

What you smokin man... Warren G is a superb artist but his career is dying.. He'd either go indi like Daz or dissolve at all... Universal killed him the same way they did Sticky Fingazz... Shit's seriously fucked up :'(
-

Nah, fuck that. Warren can rise out of this.

-
Shit man cuz. Speed Dreamin' is blazin' man. One of the best on that there joint.
-
WTF?!?!?! Speed Dreamin' is too dope for words man. Especially G. Clintons verse at the end. Too tight.
And Mista Grimm is great on that joint too. "Somethin about substance abuse, roll a half ounce up, hop in my shit, hit a switch, watch it bounce up"=straight heat.
-
Shit I just bought this album last friday with Mack 10's new joint [Had no flow 'til then]. Warren's album is straight up satisfaction. 4/5.
"Ghetto Village" is beautiful. That Stevie Wonder sample is hot to death!
-
i love this shit its a 9/10 almost a classic. the intro is fucking tight with the beat and damone just rip the fucking mic. my fav. track will be yo sassy ways other classic tracks:lookin at you, here comes another hit, somethin to bounce to, it aint nothin wrong with you, ghetto village. the skits are tight too.
