lets be real for 5 minutes...

i agree

You guys are crazy. This is one of the best, if not the best album that came out of the west coast this year. I listened to this album about 25 times now and I have to say there is only one song I think is garbage (Make It Do What It Do). The rest of the album is bangin', better than his previous efforts and pretty much better than anything thats came out this year. I thought this was just as good if not a little better than DJ Quik's album. And I'm a huge Quik fan, but this album blew me away, hotness.

on point

I never got a chance to preview it before the link was taken down so therefore I decided NOT to buy it, and if it was that bad, I wouldn't have anyways. I'm glad I didn't waste my money.

bitchez ::) ::)
dont buy it then. you the ones missing out.
you panty-sniffers bitch about east and south LAUGHING at west and then you wont even support the legends
-
i like warren g but that album was plain shit. a fuckin commercial piece of shit album. most of the songs were soft love songs . the tightest song was with mike jones and i dont even like mike jones thats how soft his album was. if i wana hear soft pop songs i'll listen to nsync . this is uppose to be rap. maybe one soft commercial song would be ok, just to sell to women but not 85% of his whole fuckin album. thats why i always download the album first and bump it in my car. if its really worth it i'll buy it. if not fuck them

Who gives a fuck if a certain hip hop artist is a legend or not,what matters is the quality of the album recently released.Im not gonna buy this CD just cause Warren made Regulate in 94 or whatever.

Just another peice of trash ruining the minds of young americans (or in some cases europeans, canadians, etc.)

i thought this was a tight ass album, i dont see whats up with the hate

That is tha realest shit I've seen in a while on this board, yeah it's cool 2 support who u love in tha rap game, but if it's a bullshit album/song don't lie 2 urself and say it's good. I love tha Three 6 Mafia but even I gotta admit they shit don't be on point like it used 2 be. Why, just like most artist tryna do tha commercial/trendy thing to do, tha substance suffers. Rap music has a base, Murder/Party/Ghetto Poetry/Sex (Female) songs, club/crunk music isn't one of them. Niether is love or anything else that rappers usually don't rap about. See Warren G was never really a rapper, lissen 2 tha regulate album and u'll c, he was more of a Producer who's time faded away in 96'/97', just like a couple others in tha game. Warren G can't drop shit bcuz of hiz name bcuz noone gives a fuck about him, why u think he went this route. I haven't heard 1 song off tha album and can tell it's complete trash or sub-par. The West coast is dead when it comes 2 mainstream rappers and gettin' alot of support, why bcuz all u hear is Crips/Bloods/64's/Cali-Chronic. Lil' E's song "Gangsta Shit" is a pure example. Don't noone wanna hear that shit. NY can't fade away like tha West bcuz there's more substance in music even though a lot of it is punchlines on an underground level. Tha south is goin 2 fade in about 2-5 years, MW will be on a comeup soon. But back to tha topic. Warren G is over, his appeal DIED years ago, same wit' DJ Quik. I respect 'em both musically, but u gotta admit their time is over. Quik didn't drop a single (really) bcuz u loose money over promo, especially being a Westcoast artist u need all tha money u can get.

let em know! warren g is actually overrated on this forum. cats act like he's just the nicest cat out
-
^^^Nah I dont really think so Warren G is one of my 10 fav rappers ever but I disagree that this forum overates him (see snoop)
Although he is one of my fav's this album is too commerical for me
-
i thought this was a tight ass album, i dont see whats up with the hate

yea i think this forum overates him....i really never was a big fan of warren g......but i'll burn his cd and c wuts up....
-
I haven't heard the album yet, so I can't comment on it, but I gotta say I'm surprised to see Warren get so much hate here. What the fuck is up with that? I don't think anybody here overrates Warren G one bit - fact is there's a selected few hip-hop artists who deserve to be called legends in their game, and I don't think there should be any doubt about Warren G being among that selected few. Go listen to them albums again and hear who it is you're saying is "overrated". Bitches pleez.
-
It's a cool album, it's worth my 15 bucks. It's not his greatest album by a long shot, but I'll always support a warren g album. I still think "Yessir" should have been his first single.

i dunno about Warren G being a legend... hes cool and all..but he aint done that much
-
warren's a legend to me, and i like his CD... its not balanced, but its great to kick back and do other shit to, its got a very laid back vibe... i could care less about sales or popularity or anything though, as long as the music is bangin i don't really give a shit about everything else.
-

Word up! *cough* mc eiht *cough&

If yall want to call Warren a legend when he released one great record, I'm not going to stop you. In my eyes, he's not a legend. He had 1 classic record more than 10 years ago. Since then, he's been mediocre. But even for real bonifide legends, I still would rather preview the album first before I buy the album because I don't like throwing my money away. I'm not rich.
-
This album here is an example of what I worry about for the next few years with the West coast.....personally, there were a few songs on Warren's album that definitely attempted to be "Top 40" such as Do what it do, and Yessir, but those songs are decent to me at least. Aside from that, this album sounds similar to his last two in some spots, and there is nothing really watered down or overly-commercial about it. But it seems like many west coast fans only like west coast albums when they have that old school feel...and when albums do have that feel, most people outside the west don't get into it. It's hard as hell to bridge that gap and make music that west coast fans appreciate but that still has an effect on other coasts.
Many people complained about 213 not havin Warren G production, but I'm sure that most of them would prefer the 213 production over the production on this Warren G album even though they wouldn't admit it. Thing is, people like Warren are damn near stuck in their options...because if he dropped an album that sounded like it was straight from the G-Funk 94 era, people might like the beats but say "it was nothing at all groundbreaking, and it sounds like shit we've heard a million times so I couldn't get into it much" or "it sounds outdated as hell". But if he tries to make his music sound more modern, he'll still receive hate, especially if his modern music isn't groundbreaking or doper than most hot producers who are out now.
-
fuck the bullshit...
the reason the album sounds the way it does is because warren dropped this shit with his fans in mind.
we all holler for that 93 94 g funk but when they give it to us we front on it(Daz's last album also comes to mind) .
personally I perfer this album over trauma and I think warrens productions simplicity is too safisticated for
alot of listeners. This shit is jazz influenced.
with all that said Im feeing a little over half the tracks...get you down with b real is dope as fuck.
-
LOL @ Warren being a legend. Dude made one hot album and that was it. He has no real accomplishments. He's not that influential. He's not that great. Yes, he's overrated.

^I agree with how he was stuck between his old sound & tha sound he used on tha new album...I thought "Yessir" is a banger though, and "Wheels Keep Spinning" & "Walk These Streets" remind me of his older work, but it just didn't have that classic sound Warren's always had in his older albums... I still think "Get U Down" is tha highlight of that album, I never get tired of that one...
-
i told yall this album iz better than trauma... nothing to corny on it aside from a few r and b hooks.... the wholoe album has sweet sweet bass to satisfy my subs (asside from "make do what it do"track 3, i guess they forgot to throw bass on this 1)... no weird sound effects going off, embarising me at stop lights... good album (not classic though, but buy it 4 ur car, and play it till it melts)...
-
To Vibe this album , its gotta be in the late night Hour...Listen to the track "Ahh" in the late night while ur driving or before u go to sleep you'll see its nice...But if u bump this album around 4 a clock u will find it kind of boring,
-
Yeah, he needs to like.. go away . His album was like listening to elevator music...Especially the Nate Dogg tack..It sounded like a 213 leftover.
-
Blasphemy bitches!!!
Warren G is a west coast legend....Regulate was his only CLASSIC.....bangin albums hes always dropped
every single warren g album was dope as hell...i havent heard this one tho
-
Yeah, he needs to like.. go away . His album was like listening to elevator music...Especially the Nate Dogg tack..It sounded like a 213 leftover.
u sound like a white girl u bitch.... like stop fronting okay...
-
it's because its a piece of junk... only had like 3 or 4 good songs on it... nothing special at all.
that's cold. I thought the album was decent nothing great but decent
-
What I don't understand is how everybody was saying the album was great and the best album of 05 when the rip came out and now everybody's saying it's wack.
I have not heard it. I will buy it, and I will not like it. Fuck Warren G for changing his style, but I'll still buy it. Can't stop supporting the nigga that gave me 4 classics (yes, sgv, classics) in a row.
-
If yall want to call Warren a legend when he released one great record, I'm not going to stop you. In my eyes, he's not a legend. He had 1 classic record more than 10 years ago.
Fuck it, why not call him a legend after one great record? People call biggie the greatest rapper of all time and he only made one great record.
Personally I think Warren was cool in his time, but this record aint worth my money. Its cool, got a nice laid back feel to it and i'm sure a lot of yall will like it but it aint gonna get my 15 and change.

Why not call Vanilla Ice a legend then?

its horrible

So 4 Warren G albums are as good as Straight Outta Compton? Fear Of A Black Planet? Death Certificate? The Adventures Of Slick Rick? LOL. Get off his dick with that old shit.
Biggie WAS a legend because of the IMPACT one album made. Warren G didn't make an impact. West Coast Hip Hop would've been the same with or without a Warren G album.

lol...
and 'get you down' is my favourite track off the album too...
at the end of the day, warren g knows he made a shit-house album, and got all sensitive about the boot-leg... he knew he didnt make a classic thats for sure.
-
ah man i gtta be for real, love the shit warren did in the past but wtf was this man, album is overated as hell and he overused bishop
-
It's a good album but nothing more and like SVG and others said lots of times : WC fans need to move on . The G Funk era is OVER and it's time for new artists . How can we improve when the only subjects are: new Warren album, DPG album, Quik one..... Don't get me wrong I like a lot these artists but there aren't the future of the West
-
i thought this was a tight ass album, i dont see whats up with the hate
If warren is on that list...is marvin young B.K.A. Young mc?
-
i love warren g, i think regulate is a top 10-15 hip hop classic, but i mean come on, get off his nuts....this cd and return of the regulator only have like 4 good tracks each
-
warren g's album is wack!! Man he fell off! I will never buy this album!
-

Regulate > Return of the regulator > Death Certificate > Adventures of Slick Rick > I want it all > Take a look over your shoulder > Fear of a black planet > Straight Outta Compton.
Can't you accept that everybody's got their own opinions and tastes and that yours is not the only official or valid one? Man, grow up.
Oh, and BTW, Biggie was wack and there's three reasons he's considered a big name rapper: 1, he's dead; 2, Puffy's productions; and 3, he's dead. Eastcoast rap would have been the fucking same without Biggie. Maybe even better.
-
i am hella feeling this album, it sounds nothing else that's out today,i like the production and all the guest appearences are grea

*slaps forehead*
This has NOTHING to do with "growing up." It's a matter of facts. While taste is an opinion, calling an album Classic is not. It's pretty straight foward really. Did the album make an impact? If yes, then it's Classic. If no, then it's not. I'll give you Regulate (Just because), but the rest, you're stricly dickriding.
LOL @ The reasoning for Biggie. He was a big name rapper because... he... uh... WAS! Dude was huge BEFORE he died. Biggie's storytelling is what made him who he was. His image and star quality made him who he was. And saying East Coast rap would've been the same without Big proves your knowledge to me.
-

WTF? Make It Do What It Do hits preety fuckin hard, its not a tite song, but the one thing it has is that it hits hard. How can you say this is better than Trauma? Trauma had arguably 1-2 weak tracks, and half of Warren's new album is arguably bad.

i agree but disagree. west coast fans definatly dont give things a chance unless it sounds like it was recorded in 92-93. but these songs were weak and tasteless. theres a lot of west coast artist starting to make more updated music (Soopafly's song is a good example, so is the new Lil Rob song).
but you gotta take my opinion with a grain of salt cuz i dont like any of warren g's complete albums (except regulate)
on another note: Warren G produced some heaters, so i was expecting him to do that for this album too. like "Real in the Field" (Tha Eastsidaz), "What We Do) (Knoc-turn'al), "Thats It" (Kurupt)

2. Biggie brought East Coast rap back with "Ready 2 Die" (that album sucks to me, but it did a lot for New York)

In my opinion, all you have to do is look at the title "In the Mid-Nite Hour" to see what the vibe of the album is going to be. With a title like that, you know a lot of it is going to be laid back love ballads... but in all honesty... good record... and well rounded.
He has tracks on that thing that are going to appeal to mainstream radio fans ("Make It Do What It Do" and "Yessir")... he has tracks that sound like they'd fit right in to Return of the Regulator ("Walk these Streets", "Guerilla Pimpin'"), he has laid back, west coast flavored tracks that fit into the famous west coast mold ("Weed Song", "PYT," "In The Mid-Nite Hour,") and he has more reflective tracks about dealing with real shit ("I Need A Light," "Get You Down,") etc.
This isn't to mention a good array of guests from Snoop, Ice Cube, B-Real, Mike Jones, Nate Dogg, Bishop Lamonte, etc.
I can understand people having a problem with this record... it sounds like Warren's a little caught between styles here... there are times when it seems like Snoop is rubbing off on him... other times where he's trying to put out that laid back shit that he used to... and still other times where's he's trying to go the route of Dr. Dre...
There's so many different styles here that you're either going to love it or hate it... that I understand... he doesn't really stick to any formula like he has in the past... and yes, there are a handful too many love songs on here... but as long as the production's nice I don't mind.
It's not a classic... but shit... I'd still give it 4 out of 5... better than Mack 10, Kurupt, and right on par with DJ Quik.
I just bought the cd today, by the way.
-
Whoever is talking trash about Biggie not being part of the evolution of hiphop , really doesnt know shit about Hiphop, and same Goes with Puffy , If Puffy wasnt around some shit in hiphop wouldnt be the same, and about Warren G , like I keep saying for years now.Warren G used to be on fire because back in the early 90's he was as the same as Lil Jon is today, why? because IT WAS THE G FUNK ERA , now that this era is gone...another thing, I dont think its Good to do music only for the die hard fans why? because if u keep doing the same shit for like 10 years the fan will never grow with u they will stay stuck and whatever u will try to do to keep u update, they will hate because they r not used to that new vibe they will stay stuck to the first album and stuff..West Coast artists should do like Gangstarr, I mean you can see that there is an evolution in their music but the trademark is still there, As an artist there most be an evolution on every album, the fan must feel like he's growing with the artist. So thats why West Coast fans will never grow musically, because their favorite artists are stuck on Gangbanging, Smoking, talkbox, More Bounce to the Once,Crips and blood bullshit.
By the way Overseer or whoever is running this board...I think its time to have a section where ignorant people should learn more about hiphop...because I feel like some people over here doesnt no shit if it aint west coast, Its time for a change, Lets try to change and clear their views , because some of them are still in 96' , some of them are still saying Fuck Death Row while the only artist is a lonely Comedian, lets try to teach them Dubcc kids, they need to know more about the roots of hiphop,
-
Of course my comments were meant to be taken with a pinch of salt. I forgot people around here don't have much humor or intelligence.
Anyways, what I'm just trying to say is that music is all a matter of tastes and everything is subjective. What is classic to one may be garbage to others. To me, all 4 Warren G CDs are classic cause Warren does (or did) the kind of music that fits my style. And if liking one artist is dickriding, well, then yeah I'm dickriding. Pretty sad y'all have no tolerance and have to see everything as a black or white kind of thing.
As for Biggie, I don't like him as a rapper and I don't like his albums. If not liking Biggie makes me a hiphop ignorant, fuck it, I am. And if for 'impact' y'all mean more spins on MTV or more album sales, yeah, it had a very big impact on the music world.
And I'm out, I'm tired of having to explaing things like this was Sesame Street or something.

bitchez ::) ::)

you know what....the album is not that good.....i give it an 6 out of 10(below average)...not really feeling him right now...i think this album has more of a pop feel to it....i dont like wheels keep spinning, i like dat there, fuck that the whole shit is garbage...the whole cd is rnb and thats the truth...hope warren g sell a shit load of units....cuz the fool sold out...and for anybody that doesnt see that is just riding his dick...put it to you like this, if we were to change ja rule for warren g....you get the point....same formula as 213 the hard way...and that cd was a dissapointment...damn homie...are my expectations just too high??????
-
i give it a 3.5/5
-
someone hook it up :) i wanna hear it
-
i just though of something...you know what hip hop needs???? different classification...just like rock.....see rock has heavy metal(gangsta shit or it could be east coast lyrist sht) punk, and so on...(not really a rock fan)but that way fans know what they are getting...just saying that he is from the west just isn't enough...ja rule can be considered as a rock ballad singer....see this way we can know whats up....what ever happen to the cd reviews that they were going to post here at dub.....???here is my application...http://www.dubcnn.com/connect/index.php?topic=88468.0

I hope Warren or his lawyers read this. Maybe they'll stop and realize they just lost a whole shitload of sales because now the people who haven't heard it have to rely on people who have but may or may not have the same taste in music. I'm not even gonna download it from mIRC to preview it. Warren doesn't deserve my money.

That's fuck'd up....as I said in another topic, artists and companies would never understand or believe that bootlegging could help them in any ways, and the only reason that I know it can help it in a FEW small ways is because I use the internet. Nobody wants their shot bootlegged, it never sounds like a good thing, and nobody would EVER say "yeah dubcc, let people download my shit for free so that 10,000 people can get it free". So don't knock him for that, I'd be the same way if I didn't know how the internet worked at that level

I understand Warren telling Seer to not let anyone share his album, but he was threatening legal action on the website, not the people who were actually doing it. Sly Boogy told DubCC not to let anyone bootleg his album, and although I didn't really like that, I still bought the album. He didn't need to bring lawyers into it, just the trust that his album wouldn't be bootlegged. I completely understand most artists don't want their music out there for the taking. The guy I work with is exactly like that, so when I get copies of his work, I don't give it to people unless I get his okay. It's just the fact that Warren had to get all bitch about the situation.

Can't stop supporting the nigga that gave me 4 classics (yes, sgv, classics) in a row.
So 4 Warren G albums are as good as Straight Outta Compton? Fear Of A Black Planet? Death Certificate? The Adventures Of Slick Rick? LOL. Get off his dick with that old shit.
Biggie WAS a legend because of the IMPACT one album made. Warren G didn't make an impact. West Coast Hip Hop would've been the same with or without a Warren G album.
Regulate > Return of the regulator > Death Certificate > Adventures of Slick Rick > I want it all > Take a look over your shoulder > Fear of a black planet > Straight Outta Compton.
Can't you accept that everybody's got their own opinions and tastes and that yours is not the only official or valid one? Man, grow up.
Oh, and BTW, Biggie was wack and there's three reasons he's considered a big name rapper: 1, he's dead; 2, Puffy's productions; and 3, he's dead. Eastcoast rap would have been the fucking same without Biggie. Maybe even better.
your a fuckin moror, east coast would not of been the same. B/C the man ressurected the east coast commercial scene. ON his first album puffy had very little to do with the production. He was the executive producer, he wasnt putting in much work track by track. secondly, b4 big died he was much bigger then puffy, and thats the truth.

I gotta post a comment on this one too, cuz:
Whatdafakk ya talkin 'bout? This is the real Return Of The Regulator, bomb azz shit!! A very good album.
Much better than his last 2 efforts! Warren G is finally back in shape and none of ya recognize it!
Laid Back G-Funk at it's best! This is a 4/5 to me.
Im standing by that this new Warren G-album and Quik's "Trauma" are the 2 best releases out the Westcoast this year!
-
Album is aiight...im gonna cop the album and listen to it few more times to see if i'll like it better or not...and for those of ya thats complaining about how boring or rnb this album sounds...i mean what ya expect from a warren G album? he's always been making laid back, chill music...before i even heard of this album, i knew exactly what to expect from it...
-
well...jackass, he didn't want it bootlegged to make money and he's donating to the katrina relief fund. shit like that flies over the head of small minds like yours.

Hatesrats 06'

you panty-sniffers bitch about east and south LAUGHING at west and then you wont even support the legends
Who gives a fuck if a certain hip hop artist is a legend or not,what matters is the quality of the album recently released.Im not gonna buy this CD just cause Warren made Regulate in 94 or whatever.
That is tha realest shit I've seen in a while on this board, yeah it's cool 2 support who u love in tha rap game, but if it's a bullshit album/song don't lie 2 urself and say it's good. I love tha Three 6 Mafia but even I gotta admit they shit don't be on point like it used 2 be. Why, just like most artist tryna do tha commercial/trendy thing to do, tha substance suffers. Rap music has a base, Murder/Party/Ghetto Poetry/Sex (Female) songs, club/crunk music isn't one of them. Niether is love or anything else that rappers usually don't rap about. See Warren G was never really a rapper, lissen 2 tha regulate album and u'll c, he was more of a Producer who's time faded away in 96'/97', just like a couple others in tha game. Warren G can't drop shit bcuz of hiz name bcuz noone gives a fuck about him, why u think he went this route. I haven't heard 1 song off tha album and can tell it's complete trash or sub-par. The West coast is dead when it comes 2 mainstream rappers and gettin' alot of support, why bcuz all u hear is Crips/Bloods/64's/Cali-Chronic. Lil' E's song "Gangsta Shit" is a pure example. Don't noone wanna hear that shit. NY can't fade away like tha West bcuz there's more substance in music even though a lot of it is punchlines on an underground level. Tha south is goin 2 fade in about 2-5 years, MW will be on a comeup soon. But back to tha topic. Warren G is over, his appeal DIED years ago, same wit' DJ Quik. I respect 'em both musically, but u gotta admit their time is over. Quik didn't drop a single (really) bcuz u loose money over promo, especially being a Westcoast artist u need all tha money u can get.
THATS SOME STUPID SHIT,HOW THE FUCC YOU GONNA SAY HIP HOP WASN'T BASED OFF FUCC'N CLUB MUSIC, THATS HOW THIS FUCC'N MUSIC STARTED,GET THE FUCC OUTTA HERE WITH THAT GARBAGE CUZZ,AND WHAT YOU SAYING YOU CAN'T SPEAK ABOUT LOVE IF YOU ARE A RAPPER? YOU KNOW HOW FUCC'N STUPID YOU SOUND, NOW I DIDN'T THINK warrens album was good,but for them reasons you gave thats stupid,only thing you was really right about is the west coast does need to cover more then the typical,and if we don't do it,stop crying and saying muthafuccas ain't paying us no attention. cause yall know if a white muthafucca gets into the music and west coast culture,say he wears the white t chuccs and khaks,muthafuccas gonna say he ain't real,or if he gets a 64 with some switches muthafuccas gonna clown him and say he ain't a gangsta, but what he/she can do is get crunk in a club,wear jerseys (alot of them have the money to do it),buy expensive suv's,buy the prada and the furs,etc.basically making what they do easier to grasp,cause they can do those things,START THINKING MUTHAFUCCAS www.panhandoelr.com worldwide whats good sgv and did you get that shirt yell
