he calls he dopest songs (MLK and Find A Way) wack
An audio journey attempting to take listeners back to when the West Coast ran this here rap game, The Hard Way ends up being a bigger disappointment than an enjoyable experience, tainted by overly generic left coast production and uninspired verses. Rather than pushing the envelope and crafting 2004's surely welcome G-Funk upgrade, 213 do exactly what they have done since the Dr. Dre's classic "Deep Cover" blessed the masses with the crew's genesis. For die-hard Snoop Dogg supporters, sticking to the proven formula may not be a bad thing. For those with higher standards, though, The Hard Way comes off as a wasted effort.
