Warren, like his close west coast friend Snoop Dogg, couldn't back up a memorable debut with a valuable follow up. There are alarm bells from the opening song 'Annie Mae'. Like on 'Regulate... G Funk Era', Warren teams up with Nate Dogg and it isn't terrible but it is absolutely nowhere near 'Regulate'. The next few songs come and go. On 'Young Fun', my mind that has been tarnished by society, always waits to hear "cum" instead of "fun" on the hook. It begins to improve a little bit with the following songs as more featuring artists appear, with 'We Brings Heat' being the first song to catch my attention with its vibey laidback beat. 'Transformers' uses the Transformers theme as the inspiration for its hook which is worth noting. I have the version with 'What's Love Got to Do With It' which was originally only on the 'Supercop' soundtrack. Like 'I Shot the Sheriff', thanks to the memorable chorus, both of these songs are standouts. Erick Sermon's remix is also dope, offering a very different feel. The second half is definitely stronger than the first and there are some good songs, but most of it comes and goes. Warren isn't the greatest rapper and more often than not needs something special in the production department for it to be an excellent track.
