I know i'll get hate for this, but I think This DJ is better than Regulate.

Of course I liked “Regulators” like everyone else did but I didn’t expect all the crossover appeal—when even my brother who is not a rap music fan knows all the lyrics to your song — you have reached Vanilla Ice “Ice Ice Baby” level

When it came out on the Above the Rim soundtrack, i thought it was cool, but I was into Big Pimpin, DPG For Life, Afro Puffs, Pain and Loyal To The Game way before Regulate.

"Gangsta Love" stands out as one of his best guest appearances on Warren G LP

Same exact sentiment for me (except I didn’t have “Loyal 2 the Game”) 

It was one of those albums when you can remember where you were when you bought it and first heard it and it was only my 3rd time in my life going to the record store on my own to buy a cd 💿.  I actually bought it at Walmart so I didn’t know I was a getting a clean version.  So I also didn’t get  “DPG 4 Life” but always loved the live version on the Show documentary.

“Big Pimpin” is the song that prepared me for Warren G’s album because I thought rap was supposed to be “hard” like what I’d heard on Doggystyle and the Chronic.  So to hear Snoop and DPG come with a totally different style and take their foot off the gas with “Big Pimpin” for a laid back softer sound—and still just as dope as anything on Chronic or Doggystyle—that blew my mind!  That was my favorite and most listened to song on the album. 

The same can be said for “Regulators” it sounded different than Chronic and Doggystyle but I sort of took it like a Nate Dogg song sort of like “Ain’t No Fun” — just like “okay, yeah that’s what Nate Dogg does.”  But it took a bit for my ears to catch up with the G Funk Era album because it wasn’t the same sound as the Chronic and Doggystyle.  It was a grower.  I didn’t like it at first, in fact I thought maybe it was some Concrete Roots type shit because I was scanning for the Death Row logo and couldn’t find it, lol

Finally the video for “This DJ” came out and I was like, “oh okay, I get it now”.  This is next level!

True true....not gonna lie, i was pretty disappointed when I saw Big Pimpin 2 was gonna be on the Dogg Pound album, and then it ended up just being Big Pimpin talking the whole time with no raps from Daz or Kurupt.  Years later i discovered the clean version with different lyrics and I almost look at that as the proper sequel.

Dogg Pound and Death Row were on fire so I didn't need a "2" of anything because they were always hitting on new and fresh angles in the mid-90's. 

It wasn't until Doggfather flopped that I started thinking in terms like, "man, why didn't they just do some shit like Doggystyle, why don't they do a part 2, why don't they do sequels?"—I think I would've been happier with the LBC Crew Haven't You Heard album than Doggfather.   That would've been closer to my expectations.

Funny, that Snoop did come with a "Gin and Juice 2" on Last Meal—but of course that track was horrible, lol



lol.. kind of sounds dope now in 2025

I liked "Still A G Thang" from that album...Snoop was flowing pretty good on that one
