Tha Dogg Pound

Snoop is only on two tracks here, and his presence is missed. There's nothing as catchy as 2006 hit "Cali Iz Active," and most of the songs' are darker, more in the spirit of a drive-by than a BBQ. If you prefer your Cali rap hardboiled, as opposed to cheerily laid back, then there's a lot here to like. "Anybody Killa" features the Game and projects menace and struggle, while "Diz Gangsta Chit is Ourz" lays out a compelling case for Daz and Kurupt as West Coast OGs.
