Title: Warren G - Take A Look Over Your Shoulder
Post by: Dope Money Clean on March 23, 2002, 03:44:28 PM: How come people hate on this album ?

Is there even a weak track on it ? I dont think there is , I can listen to all the songs.

I dont even know which track is my favorite , theres about 5 or 6 that are BANGERS !!

"Relax Ya Mind" is my shit tho ;)

Post by: Sikotic™ on March 23, 2002, 05:17:31 PM: I've been saying that for ages. Take A Look Over Your Shoulder is Warren G's most consistant album. Everyother album he has ever put out have at least one track I dislike, but Take A Look I'm able to listen to from start to finish.

The only problem to me was there were very few tracks that blew my mind. It's stil my favorite G Child album tho.

Me too... a good album, though not some of Warren's best work.

Post by: Dope Money Clean on March 23, 2002, 08:07:19 PM: I think Warren G said it himself that the album was a flop . A sophomore jinx .

But I just figured out why the album didnt sell that good or got much attention is because it came out on the same day as ............ *drum roll* .............. Biggie "Life After Death"

too bad for WG , wrong muthafuckin time to drop an album :-/

Post by: Suga Foot on March 23, 2002, 08:15:30 PM: I think dropping "I shot the sherriff" as a single was a bad idea, people were expecting another "Regulate", so I guess they just didn't buy it.

Personally I picked that shit up the day it came out. The version we have in Canada has a different cover, and isn't enhanced tho. :'(

I think he loses a little somethin' every time out, but every one of his albums, especially the first 3 were straight heat. And "Take A Look Over Your Shoulder" should have been multi-platinum, that album was some of the best shit to drop in 97.

Post by: CantCme213 on March 24, 2002, 03:33:55 AM: I love that Album from beginning to end.
Transformers is tight.

And I also like the line from Jayo Felony on Young Fun
"I rather die with my eyes open, so I can see how these
mothafuckas wanna do me, they set me free"
love that Line!

Post by: CWalker187 on March 24, 2002, 04:01:31 AM: Take a Look Over Your Shoulder is by far Warren G's worst album, and is the only one I dont love. I think that the songs are way too commercial and pop sounding, and that he abandoned the whole gangsta, G funk sound. The only songs that I think were any good are "What We Go Through", which is amazing, and "Annie Mae". I think the rest of it is forgetable.

Post by: Daz_the_Shanker on March 24, 2002, 09:02:23 AM: EASILY Warren's best album, a start to finish g-funk ride. Maybe my favorite album of all time.

i could have sworn, warren g said it went double platinum.

but yeah, picking i shot the sherrif as the first single was a bad move. that remix with the reggae beat would have been better.

and being released on the same day as BIGGIE ::) doesnt help much either. especially since he passed away right before

Post by: Don Seer on March 25, 2002, 08:11:16 PM: album is pretty good... apart from low spots like I Shot The Sherriff.

My fave on their is 'Back UP' (feat K9 and PC) ... dope shit.. that bassline is tight
