yeah, i would call it a westcoast classic no doubt about that...very underrated
easily a classic, warren g's best work production-wise
Yeah, Warren was on fire at the time. Too bad the album didn't blow up because that "Round And Round" joint is catchy and could've blown up and turned the album platinum... Just like "Summertime in the LBC" should of made Dove Shack platinum....I mean I was a Warren G fanatic at the time I didn't even know the album was out until one summer day in 98' I was just browsing through the record store and stumbled upon this album. Ended up bumping it all summer long, even my white friends who weren't big hip-hop heads loved the album. Same with the Dove Shack album I didn't even know there was an album from them I just stumbled upon it at the record store months after it was actually released.Even Russel Simmons admits the label fucked up marketing when it came to West Coast acts, he especially mentioned Warren G and the G Funk imprint.
this is the shack is nowhere near a classic though, and that's coming from a Dove Shack fan, too many useless skits, and hit or miss songs, love Bo Roc as a rapper and singer though, and definitely some memorable cuts, but not cohesiveness and consistency like on Conversation. the album lacked Warren G's imprint, I mean I like JMJ and Keith Clizark but it's not to be fucked with the G Child.
