I think it's snoops best album lyrically, but the mixing on that album SUCKED. Some songs you could barely hear what snoops vocals, I think that's where he missed dre the most, snoop always sounds hungry on dre beats, and the beat never overpowers him, like it does sometimes on doggfather.

My other problem with doggfather is that it's the first time i found out snoop would use other writers for some of his shit. Blueberry was written by bad azz and kurupt, it tarnished his image in my eyes.

But i still like the album, 2nd best IMO

Definitely agree with what C-clamp posted, the mixing sucked big time. Why the fuck did DJ Pooh mix this the way he did?

Definitly is underrated. I hate the fact that peeps put such high expectations on it. Dope music is dope music. I was at Ball State when this album dropped, and our floor had that cd on repeat for months. No one bitched about it not being as good as doggystyle... we just rocked them both, and enjoyed good music. Snoops 2nd best, easily.

Snoop didnt rap on Blueberry just did some talking at the end. The mixing is terrible on some songs though

"Tha Doggfather" I think is the one of the best albums from the West ever. There is hardly a wack track on that CD. A lot of people hate on it but I think it might be right with "Doggystyle" and if not it's definitely his 2nd best album. The production is flawless and it's real laid back. DJ Pooh and Daz produced most of it and the guests include Kurupt, Daz, Too $hort, Soopafly, Bad Azz, Technique, Nate Dogg, Warren G, and Tray Deee. Legendary shit for real, 1996.

1. Doggfather (produced by Daz) *best Daz beat ever*
2. Up Jump tha Boogie f/Kurupt (produced by DJ Pooh)
3. Sixx Minutes (produced by DJ Pooh)
4. Snoop's Upside Ya Head (produced by DJ Pooh)
5. Gold Rush f/ LBC Crew (produced by Arkim and Flair)

*6. 2001 (produced by DJ Pooh)

its underated cause people were expecting adoggystyle and consider the album to not be ass good imo.I think the album is dope and way underated i like up jump the boget that song is dope.
