[HBKid_Jr]

On was on allmusic.com an was readin there review of 2002 an this guy ripped tha dogg pound by sayin there careers were mediocre an tha 2002 version of jus doggin was tha pinnicle of there career

"AMG EXPERT REVIEW: Yet another of Death Row's vault releases, Tha Dogg Pound's 2002 follows the precedent set by Snoop Dogg's Dead Man Walkin and 2Pac's Until the End of Time, both of which were released a few months before this album. Like those albums, 2002 compiles a disparate collection of leftover tracks, in this case culled from Daz Dillinger and Kurupt's never-finished sophomore release. As tempting as it is, though, to dismiss this album as the yet another exploitative attempt by Suge Knight to make it seem as if Death Row was somehow still relevant in the 21st century, 2002 actually deserves some recognition. Leftover vault recordings or not, there are a few wonderful moments on 2002. In fact, there are enough standout moments that this album actually challenges the duo's mediocre Dogg Food for the status of being a better album. In particular, the Dr. Dre-produced "Just Doggin" just may be Tha Dogg Pound's career pinnacle — a straightforward song featuring Nate Dogg on the hook and a slightly out-of-the-ordinary pre-2001 Dre beat that carries the song for almost five wonderful minutes. Besides this impressive song, 2002 also offers "Every Single Day," noteworthy for its wild wah-wah guitar-driven beat, in addition to a better than average performance by Snoop on not one but two verses. Then there's an out of place yet no doubt welcome collaboration with Jay-Z, Beanie Siegel, and Memphis Bleek on a remix of "Change the Game," the standout album-opening "Roll Wit Us," and notable yet lackluster appearances by Xzibit and 2Pac. Besides these numerous highlights, there are a number of unmemorable songs that are at best on par with much of what's found on Dogg Food. In the end, 2002 is worth picking up for the aforementioned highlights if you're a West Coast G-funk fan, especially if you enjoyed Dogg Food, even if much of the remaining album is admittedly disparate." — Jason Birchmeier

yeah they're harsh at allmusic.com, but i agree with most of the points they made, not all but most

[Don Seer]

Dre didn't even produce that shit.... the liner notes say Cold 187um did.. i can't find a credit for Dre or Dre's publishing on any track.

the albums not too bad in places (e.g Smoke) but coz theres so much stuff on there that was either on RAW or 'Dillinger & Young Gotti' and some wack shit like just doggin (cant believe that guy said its the best on there! - original ver is waaayy better).

[Don Rizzle]

only cos its produced by dre but that version sounds like an unfinished track beat wise in order to discredit his production n like overseer said the origional is waaaayy better one of my favourite dogg pound songs

[techniec]

this motherfucker who rote this shit is a true fag

mediocre and dogg food going together in a sentence  is blasphemy

Man this guy must be retarded..Giving out false info like Dre produced "Just Doggin"...I bet he hasn't even heard the track...

[Trauma-san]

Dre Was Listed Originally On The Site As The Producer, So He Probably Just Got Old Info.  Basically You Can't Trust Any Critics, They Always Have A Pessimistic View Of The World, And Everything In It.

I bet he heard the CD one time on MP3...


Because if he woulda had the CD it woulda said who produced it...

[TheShiznit227]

I agree with whoever said the original is much beter, cuz it is...

[Sub-Z]

i think both versions of just doggin are good,so it doesnt really matter to me
