warren g "i want it all" appreciation thread

[Darksider]

it was a good album but im feelin return of the regulator more.

[Eddie G.]

dope album fa sho...another tight track no one mentioned was "G-Spot" featureing El Debarge, that's my favorite cut on the album.

[An-Tony-O Montana]

It's a very feel-good album and I like it until track 13. I do think many of the beats are somewhat weak and that he has way too many outside guests...I mean: Ruff Ryders? Crucial Conflict? Jermaine Dupri? It's a dope album but I'd take "Return of the Regulator" over it any time...though that one doesn't have such great songs as "Gangsta Love","You never know", "I want it all", "Game don't wait","Ola Mae","Dope Beat" and "Havin' Things"

^yea but i think warren was just trying to be more universal with this album. And the Crucial Conflict collabo. was the shit. Yea, i own all of Warren's album and i hardly ever bump this one but when i first got it, it was in constant rotation and it should of sold alot more. It's a really great album, @ one point i was thinkin' this might actually be his best album all around but it's gotta be "Take A Look Over Your Shoulder (Reality)" for me... i always loved that album, front 2 back nuthin' but bangers but "Regulate... G Funk Era"  started it all. I know Warren didn't start the g-funk era but i think Warren's production really defines what g-funk is too me. He took the funky g-funk sound and just smoothed that shit out on some ol cool shit... i love warren's old shit, it's classic, he's also one of my favorite producers. Yea, i thought even the Ruff Ryders song was dope cuz Warren hooked up a dope beat... Really nice album, nuff said!

Word, I want it all was nice. Probably my second fave album of Warrens. Seems like alot of people slept on that album in my neck of the woods. But then again, country music rules the airwaves in Indiana .... but my friends and I rocked I want it all for about 3 or 4 months straight.

[SGV]

Didn't like it much. Didn't like Return of the Regulator much either. Maybe I just don't like Warren G, I don't know.

[Hatesrats™]

Good album..
can't mess with his first (R) or last attempt (ROTR)..
But Warren did his thang...except 4 that RR joint...

its been a while since ive listened to this album but today is the day and its gotta be said, this album is bangin from front to back, almost every track is great. production is top notch and i'd go as far as saying that its my favorite warren g album. of course warren is not the best mc out there, but the production and the guest appearences more than compensate it, he's got a nice line up of guests like slick rick, kurupt, daz, rbx, nate dogg, snoop dogg, mack 10, jd, lady v, eve, el debarge and others.

the best tracks are probably "dope beat" and the first song "gangsta love. the  beat is so laid back and they drop some nice verses but nates steals the show with his amazing hook. "You Never Know" w/ snoop is another outstanding track with laid back ryhmes and good content. "i want it all" w/ mack 10 is laced by so many different instruments its crazy, you have keyboards, guitar, trumpet, and saxophone, this song is amazing, so is the original version of "game dont wait". only weak track is the ruff ryders song. but overall amazing, "i want it all" is yet another classic album imo, combining gangsta rap with positivity.

show your appreciation!

I Agree! Even about the best album part.  I think you're right, I like the positivity in the album.  I even like the damn Ruff Riders song.  Also, you've got Phats Bossi on the album, I think every verse he did was fire.  "You Never Know" IS a great song.  Awesome album, It was my favorite album that came out that year.  It's full of classic beats and nice lines, I love Mac 10 on "I want it all" "I hate to trip, but I got two lil' mouths to feed".

I dont know if its just me, but i dont think Warren has ever dropped a below 4/5 album.  Tis album as some incredible songs (Havin Thangs, U Never Know, Dope Beat), some dope guests (DPG family, SLICK RICK, even Crucial COnflict sounded good), and was all in all a very good album.  It may be my second favourite Warren album after his debut (anyone who doesnt pick this is trippin).

[Trauma-san]

AHHH, you just reminded me of somethin'


"Come on up to my Castle, baby, I see ya got things on ya minnnnnd,
Come on up to my bedroom, baby, tonight everythin' is just finnnnne;
Stay wit me, just a little while longer, it's only a quarter ta ninnnneeee;
I can stay up late, don't work in tha mornin, havin things is just finnnneee"

LOL Classic nate.  He sounds awesome on that track, God Bless Reverb.

That's one of my fav Nate verses ever. It aint no doubt that Nate sounds the best over Warren beats.
