fake release... he never droped this mixtape

none of this matters in the grand scheme of things

they teach us at a young age that worldly things aren't nearly as important as people think

Okay I changed my mind.  I’m starting to think maybe my theory isn’t 100% accurate and maybe it was good after all that the ancient Romans had something they enjoyed doing rather than fighting wars and killing each other and rebelling all the time

When it came out on the Above the Rim soundtrack, i thought it was cool, but I was into Big Pimpin, DPG For Life, Afro Puffs, Pain and Loyal To The Game way before Regulate.

^^this

Same exact sentiment for me (except I didn’t have “Loyal 2 the Game”) 

It was one of those albums when you can remember where you were when you bought it and first heard it and it was only my 3rd time in my life going to the record store on my own to buy a cd 💿.  I actually bought it at Walmart so I didn’t know I was a getting a clean version.  So I also didn’t get  “DPG 4 Life” but always loved the live version on the Show documentary.

“Big Pimpin” is the song that prepared me for Warren G’s album because I thought rap was supposed to be “hard” like what I’d heard on Doggystyle and the Chronic.  So to hear Snoop and DPG come with a totally different style and take their foot off the gas with “Big Pimpin” for a laid back softer sound—and still just as dope as anything on Chronic or Doggystyle—that blew my mind!  That was my favorite and most listened to song on the album. 

The same can be said for “Regulators” it sounded different than Chronic and Doggystyle but I sort of took it like a Nate Dogg song sort of like “Ain’t No Fun” — just like “okay, yeah that’s what Nate Dogg does.”  But it took a bit for my ears to catch up with the G Funk Era album because it wasn’t the same sound as the Chronic and Doggystyle.  It was a grower.  I didn’t like it at first, in fact I thought maybe it was some Concrete Roots type shit because I was scanning for the Death Row logo and couldn’t find it, lol

Finally the video for “This DJ” came out and I was like, “oh okay, I get it now”.  This is next level!
